2024/2025 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread
wbbfan replied to TBURGESS's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Sounds good to me. He probably would if he could too. We can, by the way he botched contain and was exploited on read options by every single team in the league repeatedly never once making the play. Not once. You can say maybe they encouraged the playing the lanes when you can’t get to the qb. It’s fair to say that, and that we can’t fully gauge his performance. However, he has enough of a set of issues to say he does not warrant elite cfl dl money. On top of that, zero back side hustle to get in on plays. He’s still an effective player and will be in the league earning 6 figures next year. Deservedly so. But he’s too reliant on the other end/ a dominant nose to be paid like that. You can go back to the previous two years his performances were much worse with out JJ in the line up. Wj doesn’t make it easier for the other end, he needs the other end to be a consistent pass rusher. And even then, he’s bad in option and the run game. Just not enough player for 200k. -

It’s the only game of the year that was the case. JJ was as good in the cups and play offs, and more regular season games. Can’t pay a guy to show up for one game a year. -

They did, but we also saw him cringe hard with all the throws on the side line in clear discomfort. Idk what he was going through but even with the numbing it looked like hell. Made no sense to put him back in or keep him in. Especially when he struggled soo bad before the injury. -

I’d bring wj back but only at a steep discount. From 200k down to 140-150 range. Too many guys at end and dt that are better younger cheaper and more valuable to us. It also doesn’t make sense to give that much to a de who isn’t a two way monster modp candidate these days because ols get away with absolute muggings. Sacks are way down because of it and I think it will continue. -

Tbh he’s only a 2/3 snap guy against teams that won’t run or read option off him. He gets completely exposed by every team that goes at him with a read play and refuses to play contain on any one in the back field. The ol played well vs Toronto this time and the dl was good enough pretty easily. I do agree with losing on the lines in the previous two cups though. -

Right? Didn’t even look like he hit a helmet. One of the strangest I’ve seen. he will be if he didn’t. Who knows for now. I can’t imagine how you’d throw with touch and nerve damage in the throwing hands index finger. -

Just imagine if he took another hit to that hand or fell on it or any thing. -

They also said it was dangling in that interview and he could see into the finger. Idk what all this is for damaged but it sounds awful. No kidding eh? As bad as that I can’t even imagine. -

The bombers have had difficulty stringing dominant performances together. But I don’t think they gassed from the wf. They did break in the 4th though. Guys gave up with the turn overs. -

Cc and challenge system needs a major overhaul. Fans in every market will agree to that. -
I worry he’d have vaj running the strevy wildcat. But if not they would complement each other well. Vaj, Paul, with qb coach Khari or Masoli would probably be as good as any team can do this off season.
-
With lapo you can’t have zach, or a running qb. You can’t have a qb who is happy to check down either. You need a qb who will push his system and read down field back.

I’d hire beau Baldwin to be the oc, away from Calgary. Then if he retires I’d hire masoli to be the qb coach and assist beau. That gives you as much diverse, high end offensive systems experience as you will ever see in the cfl. Masoli, with his experience is able to help Baldwin adjust to play calling in the cfl as well. If Masoli doesn’t retire, it’s khari jones. After beau id have a varied short list with guy like Brennan Marion, and some other d1 young disciple or divergent types. The idea would be a newer to the cfl co with a vet qb experienced in many systems to support his adjustment. Failing that, it’d be give AC ast hc title, or June jones, and Marc trestman type picks. I’d rather develop the guy and start early in the off season, but failing a blue chip guy id go for a guy who’s been a hc and succeeded. I think with Paul you’d need some one as his qb coach to temper him. Maybe some one to take over calls in the hurry up signalling etc. Paul’s down fail has always been getting in his own way, similar to buck. So I’d want a qb coach who could push him.
-
I thought zach was past it last year. I was past his post season performances last year too. He might have a few good games left in him. I would not rest a season on his shoulders again. Buck is the main problem, but zach is toast too. The cfl offensive systems are soo stagnant Paul would be Better than average. My short list wouldn’t be popular I don’t think.
-
Zach isn’t gonna get dumped for turn overs, it’s cus he’s done. Maybe atleast here, and he’s had 1 good play off game. BLM got dumped because he was done. Zachs been throwing hospital balls for a while. I did the numbers this time last year and that looks right to me. Take out the west final and it gets even uglier.

Yep. I’m sure they are who Randy was alluding to in terms of abusing the appearance money as well. Christmas Day, Jake kola the punter and biggie sign extensions with considerable raises. 🤢 I think we will hear some kind of change by Christmas actually. Retirement, firing (buck), release no intentions to resign etc.
