100% of cfl players have this feeling/goal when they arrive. I’m not gonna hate some one for possibly, wording it sub optimally. Like you said, it was taken out of context. I hated the rourke hype train. It was soo obnoxious, likely not nearly as much as bomber news has been to the league for the past 4 seasons. Brady hasn’t gotten 1% of the hype rourke did and he deserves atleast 75-80%. Lumsden got more national coverage. He wasn’t the mop, and I’m not sold on him being the next flutie/moon etc. but he is a damn good young qb and an ni. If we had him locked up on a long term deal I’d be pretty happy.

Does he have to pay both income taxes? No doubt some one would give rourke 750k

Probably trying to fit all the 0s on a contract extension for Damien jackson to match mos’. Could’ve also been biting his finger nails over the rumor that had Harris going to coach RBs in Regina. Or trying to make sure that he had enough cushion in stock so next year hall and the dbs can play a full 100 yards off the other teams WRs. Could be stocking up on guitar strings for wolis one man band. Or getting a million litres of hatorade ready for the cfl media to fuel their tears. Seeing if he can find/buy enough coal for the stockings of guys like ball, farhan, Chris jones, and a bunch of posters on rf.

Truth. Off season mode in high gear.

Scored a 10/50. Think he’s in a big tie for like 5th or 6th lowest all time. Tee Martin had an 11. QBs average like 24, Johnny manziel put up 33. To be fair touch and accuracy were not in his game either. Like all tests it’s not by any means the be all and end all. But few QBs have low wonderlics and succeed. Fast decision making is key. Tbh idc in the least what he does now. One day (not when a part of the riders though) raise his number and move on. Though the irony of how much rider fans harped about the ped test with Harris if he goes there that is hilarious.

I think they did the best they could last fa period. If I was them id be kicking down the door on guys like brown and elite blue chip us prospect QBs. They could have a dynasty if they strike gold at qb. How many QBs in the league would the ALs have lost with I wonder. I think legit they would’ve lost with Harris. Vaj is a coin toss to throw 4 tds or turn it over 5 times. Would they have lost with ford at qb? Idk that’s tough imo. Masoli, Kelly, brown, collaros, I think they all win with. They did a great job of putting them self in the best position to win with out a dominant culture or qb. Hats off to them.

I think if he gets it, and he’s the only back in the league with the potential to get that value it will be due as much to his viral marketability, and his pass port. How many Canadians are legit mop candidates and that you can lock up long term. A team like bc could market him in a big way to a younger demographic and grow a lot. Salary cap wise that much into a rb is crippling for sure. Though a lot of teams have wasted a lot of money on 2 meh RBs lately. I’d rather sign one guy like Brady and bring in a base contract guy for similar combined money. but two cheap RBs does make the most sense. Truth. The nfl fa backs literally had a meeting in the off season trying to organize this exact thing. We can keep both and lawler, if we go cheap at back up rb, like ni rookie deal, or if we go cheap at back up qb. We could literally hand Brady 50k more salary from Augustine’s check and get a rookie ni and be in the same situation as last year. We could also say good bye to Bailey for a rookie and save a chunk. I think that happens long before schoen is given up.

I never underestimate how much cfl teams will over pay free agents. Not since we’ve seen 700k mike Reilly, 300k WRs etc. the corpse of Harris got 145/160 last year and stanback got 160/170. The Argos also paid 111/123 to ouellette. So they paid a total of 256/283 to 2 RBs. They could give Brady 215 and save money. Crazy football league. If rourke was available I wouldn’t be surprised if some one offered him a mil or some thing ridiculous. Mtl also paid 95/117 to antwi for 255/287. Hamilton paid butler/ste a combined 220/251. When did cfl teams start paying soo much for two RBs? This is crazy. 191/234 for Brady and Augustine is cheaper than half the league. I think so too. He can catch he actually played some wr at what was it ucla? Before he transferred to nd. I mean I would sign like some big athlete ni who could roster as a qb and maybe do short yardage or some thing, hold, snap, kick cover etc. shoot you could sign a Canadian basketball player from college whose Agudosi size and use em for all kinds of things.

On a crazy side note, if we signed strevy to a 200k deal and started him at rb while having him as a back up qb, any one think he would run for less than 1200 yards? Imagine those gadget designs lol. Maybe roster an ni qb who can do some thing else as qb3.

Yep if some one gives him 200k plus I’ll be happy for him and all. With our scheme and ol we could plug nearly any import rb in and get 1200+ yards with ease. It’d be very easy to find a similar power back but with way better top end speed who would break a lot more huge runs. I love Brady and I hope he stays on a reasonable contract. But what are the chances he matches last year or improves on it?

Varies guy to guy. We don’t often have end up with our NL QBs here. The dl and dbs pretty high chance. I’d say very good chance we see two or more just of that list in this camp. Hart is gonna be 28 next year, hasn’t played at all this year after being a fringe guy for 3 years. Don’t see many fringe 5’8 180 guys pushing close to 30 in nfl tcs. I’d bet between 3-5 are signed for rookie camp. Redmon is a guy who could be down south a long time based on athleticism. I’m not betting on any of the QBs being here this coming season.

I wonder if we see the worst of him now too, since he’s finally gotten over the hump and got gc mop too.

I feel like getting it as a qb is really hit or miss. Either you’ll have a team love you and fall into it, or struggle to get any active roster time at all and bounce prs a lot.

Praise is an interesting guy likely to be in camp imo. Not the raw athletic type, more polished and a really good football player. A lot like Habba imo. Redmon is a dt not de. Buts he’s got elite athleticism for a de as a very lean 6’2 290. Fits in great with the second pass rushing dt like walker. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jalen-redmond/32005245-4461-3410-5102-5e80a97e82ca Ayers is a great prospect wil/smallish mlber. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/michael-ayers/32004159-4555-9722-5f4b-57ce957d05e3 Grownowski is an elite blue chip qb prospect in the cfl. I imagine it’ll take a while for him to work his way up if an nfl coach doesn’t fall in love with him. Witherstone is a big strong db, excellent tackler, big time play making potential, explosive first step and jumping. Not a guy who plays db because he’s small and can’t play wr. He’s got huge upside.

Brings him closer. The hard thing is getting the games played for fringe guys. I wonder how much he will make if he finishes on the active roster.

I think I was looking at his pre renegotiated rate of 260k. 8/13 not including QBs is still pretty high. More imps than ni on that list too.

None. Among imps it’s very limited too. Not including QBs, lawler. Though I haven’t seen the details on wjs newest deal. Lewis makes more. Not many guys in general other than QBs make more money than Willy.

To think if they pulled the plug appropriately early they could’ve sniped some one like goveia, Ringmaiden, etc. I kind of feel like they are going to wait for edm to fire jones and bring him in as a gm and hc in waiting.

Interesting, in that case I expect nothing to happen. I sure would like to hear that he talked to Bruce, the team, etc and that he was good to go. Actually, how did he skip the draft/supplemental then?

They will have their work cut out for them just to match last years production.

I wonder if the cfl will uphold his contract. He was suspended from the ncaa and ruled ineligible for transfer. He was gambling on his own games including shaving points. I think it’d be cool to have Bruce the 4th in the league. And I think being a second chance league is what it’s all about talent wise for Americans. But man, shaving points is bad business. Doesn’t make sense to me to uphold other leagues drug suspensions but not gambling on their own games and throwing.

Man on man I hope they paid his ass well lol. Realistically I suspect the market for brown as a starter will be Edmonton and Calgary. I think ott, ham, ssk, would be interested as a qb1b to push a guy and maybe take a job. It’ll be interesting to see how qb fa shakes down. I think the chances of a brown return are going up for us.

Score can’t be reflected on one aspect of a team. Reductio ad absurdum. Our defence was terrible at tackling. Our kick cover teams were miserable. By your standard, it was all great. We do not do things on the dl to aid our lbers. We literally do the exact opposite. Our lbers funnel support entirely to dl and dbs. That’s why our tackle and plays made totals are always low at lber. You are completely and hopelessly lost and with out understanding at a basic level of how defence and our defence works, and is graded. Most every one did. The collapse was as complete or more so than our 01 gc collapse. Doesn’t mean guys are undesirable. he’d be a stellar pick up too. The Argos D is jam packed with talent. It’s ridiculous, and I’m sure teams are gonna feast on them in free agency.

Or atleast rookie camp.

Laremy tunsil went from possible no1 and top5 consensus to possibly falling down to 3-4th round then the dolphins grabbed him at 13 and made out like crazy. Wasn’t it his dad or some thing that did it to sabotage him? Lucky whitehead got screwed even harder. Apb for some one matching his description. Had an alibi that involved the team, didn’t care they cut him. No charges quickly realized he was innocent and he was the wrong guy but doesn’t matter to the nfl. It’s messed up.
