  1. Maybe because he took the riders to a win against ottawa putting up 350+ yards when the riders were 0 fer with durant previously on the season. Maybe because hes a little bit younger then davis, but played a ton more football at both college and the pro level. And managed to take a no2 spot and as previously mentioned start and win a game in the cfl. vs being a default no3. Or maybe because he has a better passing tool set.
  2. Especially if you are a HC. The job security is poor at best.

    UFC

    I heard allegedly WSOF is done now. I hope gaethje comes to the ufc, and most of the rest goes to bellator. They could really use a strong shot in the arm so far as talent. And that would go a long ways to making them a legit pro circuit and less of a circus fight. ali bagautinov and zach makovsky both got cut today. A bit surprising. I liked bagautinov. He lost 3 of his last 4. But those 3 were to horiguchi, joseph benavidez, and DJ. Cutting him and keeping around a guy like big country is just another blow to the credibility of the sport. Makovsky lost 3 in a row. But again benavidez and dodson. It would be like if in the play offs instead of the bombers playing the lions the cfl stepped in and said well the riders would draw more and toronto is more important to league media coverage so bc and wpg are out ssk and to are in.
  4. no kidding. Two cfl coaches taking pretty good jobs down south this off season. He probably is gonna make more money as the QB coach too.
  5. short of trade i think we are down to the plan B tier of back up qbs. which is kinda thin. The difference between most of em isnt great. Davis severe lack of snaps puts him firmly in no3 range. Maybe he steps up big time and wins no2 in camp but going into camp we gotta get some one with experience.Especially since allegedly we are bringing MBT back into camp. Whole lot of experience lacking between those two above the HS level.
  6. Or one of the 4-5 better wrs we have available sure. Its a back up, not a position you plan around but prepare around. Considering the record number of turn overs our D forced and FGs medlock kicked ill take any TDs we can get.
  7. you mean the era that gave us the likes of blink, milt, doug brown etc? We should have won 2 grey cups easily in that time. Over the last 25 years weve had teams with among the best offenses and defenses in that era. Other teams have won cups in the last 25 years but seen much worse decision making.
  8. be sure to keep an eye out when tillman is around... $
  9. No joke. If she can translate that to the pro level she will be around for a long long time. Yeah pretty much. I would still like to see kohlert in TC, but coming in having to fight and win a spot. He was pretty awful last year. Gale wouldnt be the top of the list for the back up spot but would still be solid. If davis goes into tc as qb2 ill be scared. thats the truth. You have to take their performance with a real grain of salt. Same goes for MTL. Yeah he was really good on teams the last 2 years and has up side. Hes only 24 years old too. His cutting is crazy. Maybe he really wants a chance to start?
  10. riders cut a few prior to free agency. Dylan ainsworth a DL / teamer NI would be solid. Shamawd chambers could be use full in TC with the weak performance of our ni wrs last year. Mitchell gale was also let go. Wasnt he supposed to be apart of the qb situation that would certainly be better then what ever we have this coming year?
  11. No huge splashes, but a few solid back up type deals. I hope we bring in a bunch of DEs and a couple Lbs from down south to push the Dline and bass. That and I hope we get a legit back up qb.
  12. The few high end ones like muamba earn big pay days. Of which sask has how many? Under jones they have spent like mad men on Imps. And over all far more money is paid to imps then NI in the cfl.
  13. Thats simply wrong. "The CFL slapped Saskatchewan with a $60,000 fine and cut the team's salary cap by $26,000 for using ineligible players during practices." "The CFL 's player salary cap is defined as part of the Salary Management System framework. For the 2016 season, the CFL Maximum Salary Expenditure Cap (SEC) is $5.1 million per team" Look at what MTL had to do mid season to get under sms. Sask was against it the year before last and had to cut down. But re spent. Then late in the year were again right up against it. Now, they are spending like drunken frat boys. QFT. it may be the off season but still it isnt that slow we need politics to bleed over in here.
  14. For glenn to go there soo early makes me think he didnt go for peanuts. You mean like the henoc muamba deal? That and Nis dont eat up the majority of cap space, imps do. Like duron carter.
  15. Where are the riders coming up with all this cap space? Werent they right up against it last year? Is jones just saying eff it? Carter is a great talent. But the greatest degree of head case. Itll be interesting to see if it was the setting in mtl or if he is a nutter.
  16. Must be related to daenerys targaryen, or robert baratheon. Titles titles titles. He was better then meh, he showed a great flash with hamilton against us alone. Not to mention the time darvin adams missed. Or smiths lack of production for most of last year. 8/14/11 games for adams smith and dressler. Dressler hasnt played 18 games since 2011 and that was the only time. Smith hasnt played 18, Adams hasnt played 18 either. Denmark played 18 3 years in a row going into last year. and missed 2 games total over the 5 years prior to last. He isnt big, but he is durable.
  17. Would be a good move for him. HC jobs in the ncaa tend to be very plush, with much better job security and far greater control of the team. Not to mention college kids are generally easier to coach then pros. If he is canned and takes another job in the cfl this year he'd be an OC for sure. Short of a fantastic year as an OC he probably isnt high on the list to HC next year either. Going down to the ncaa for a couple years though could easily put him in a position to come back as a HC if he wanted. The right deal is probably more money to HC down their then OC up here too.
  18. Thats right too, if he was healthy he would be a decent way up the wish list for me. I dont think they are that hot when healthy. And linemen take a bigger beating then any other position. Not being able to stay healthy on line is a huge red flag.
  19. yeah thats what i thought too. Watch them hire plop LOL. I wonder if he got fired for extending / trading for willy.
  20. Thats true, but Olines are the hardest and slowest to build. we hit the lotto with imp ol in bond and even with a ton of talent it took a good while to get put together and come around. I imagine glenn is close to durants money, and didnt they sign henoc muamba to a massive deal? So far as back ups go the long list of guys that would be available one way or another is probably masoli, ray, cato, lefevour, kilgore, franklin, jensen, tate, and lulay. I dont think masoli is much of a pick up, and i dont think hammer would move him at a reasonable price. Ray/lefevour/kilgore are varying degrees of cost and desire. Im guessing they would move ray, but not too cheap. Lefevour might be the best bang for the buck. Franklin probably costs a fortune. Jensen is kind of a similar situation to franklin but with out all the hype. And like masoli in hamilton i dont see them wanting to give him up. Maybe one of lulay/tate get dealt probably tate. Mtl has vernon adams in the wings, and durant so cato especially with their cap troubles could be had i imagine. So short list some thing like lefevour, cato probably the most reasonable. Id prefer cato of the two. If we want to really give up assets and get a return with high up side, lulay/tate/ray/franklin. Kind of thin pickins but moves to be made.
  21. Stafford i bet came dirt cheap. Lankford smells like TCF. Course im still hoping denmark is back for tc. age, cost etc. Though i think stafford more pushes out gurley, not denmark. Or i sure hope thats the case.
  22. Very similar to last year. Competent QB, young talented WRs, and not much else. Maybe the worst line in the league no D etc. Its a lateral move for the riders, who were the dredges of the league last year. Its a lateral move for KG. From mtl last year to ssk this year. MTL with durant as well. Though atleast MTL has some good bodies on D. As for us, it sucks. Hes really the perfect guy for a no2 for us. I really hope we dont stand pat at QB and go into camp with no real in game exp at qb 2/3.

    UFC

    im not even that much but it was an intriguing card. That isnt really the kind of novelty fight i go for. Yeah that wasnt much of a fight. Some people (namey dan hardy) are saying it was fixed. Sonnen with out missing a beat called out wandy again for his next pay day. I mean fight. Thats one i would watch though. That knee was certainly the high light of the night. Pretty much though i watched chinzo too.
  24. in the modern era I dont think any one else comes close. One of the best DLmen ever too. Few rush ends had that kind of impact on the game. reinbold offically takes over the cats D now. Good for him, i hope he does well when ever the cats arent playing the bombers.
