What kind of twisted logic is that? You make no sense. With your argument, every player is overpaid. And there's no market for any player to ask for money. You realize that Rourke will be making $700,000 in 2027 & $800,000 in 2029? Is he worth it? Has he got the Lions to the Grey Cup? What's he won??

Sure. Scouting guarantees us the next HOF qb. Lol. If only it was that easy. Try again.

Where are these upgrades going to come from? No one answers because they have none yet the bitching never stops. We just have a bunch of spoiled whiners here complaining about his salary whether Collaros takes a paycut or not. Like they're paying him themselves.

And probably not win. Maier was dreadful as a starter in Calgary. He hasn't shown he'd do any better as a starter. Powell hasn't played much. No one knows what he can do. Powell has sat for 4 seasons. You want to gamble the future on those 2 to save some money? I don't.

There are no starting qbs on the horizon anywhere. The backup qb situation sucks.

I used to have a 1966 Canadian Silver Dollar. I had it since I was a kid. My son has begun collecting coins so I gave it to him. I think it.s worth $6 or &7. 1966 was the last year the Canadian mint used actual siver to make that coin. There is another 1966 silver dollar circulating that is rare. If you have it, it's worth hundreds of dollars because it's so rare. i used to know how to check but I've since forgotten. I do know that the coin I had was not that rare coin.

You think you had it rough? This was my first career job working with my hands. My boss was tough. He was a slave driver. I'm so old I had a Jesus Starter jacket.

Who could we have replaced him with? I'd like to know.

Every Cardinal fan out there.

Fifty thousand ain't much if they want to sign amy more free agents. Where would the Bombers spend this windfall? On signing another player or for injuries come the season? I guess every bit helps.

PG13? What show are you watching? It's rated TV +14. For network tv, that's a mix of violence & language toned down. If it was on Netflix,it probably would have a TV+18 rating.

Yes.

Okay, thanks for going into it with a bit more detail. Not fitting in could mean a lot of negative connotations. I'll say this after watching our DL the past 3 seasons & the way it has been stocked & coached, it was a fricking disaster. I'd take an aging Mauldin as even if he was slipping in his performance, he'd have been better than what we had.

Canada & Edmonton have put in a joint bid for the World Cup of Hockey in 2028. Calgary's new arena will be ready at that time. Bettman was in town yesterday to see the progress that's been made in construction. He won't say who has the winning bid but you have to think with a brand spanking new 18,000 seat arena here along with the Rogers Centre in Edmonton that they'd have to be the favourites.

So tell me, why wouldn't Mauldin have fit in anywhere else? Was he a cancer in the dressing room? Was he uncoachable? Was he a selfish? A "Me First" player? From everything I have ever heard he was great team player. Had he wanted to leave Ottawa even 3 years ago, there would have been 8 other teams that would have tried to sign him.

When Mauldin was in his prime? You kidding? He would have been the #1 free agent out there iin 2021-23. Of course, he'd have been paid.

Mauldin just wasted his time playing in Ottawa. Never won a Grey Cup. Did he even win a single playoff game during his time in Ottawa? Yet there he was. The best DL in the CFL playing on the worst team in the CFL his entire career. He never took advantage of the leverage he had. He could have signed for more money & a real shot at a championship somewhere else. I can understand all star players from the past who were stuck on bad teams their entire careers because free agency never existed at the time. Guys like Long Gone Jim Thomas, Greg Pipes, Ken Nielsen, Dave Raimey, John Lagrone, George Dixon, Ken Sugarman, Jim Young, D i c k Shatto & Don Luzzi. They had no choice. Teams wouldn't trade or lose them to free agency. They were in effect, trapped. Stuck on teams they couldn't leave. They could "play out their option" after their contract expired for a 20% reduction in pay based on the expied contract & then could sign elsewhere the following season. So, in effect a 3 year deal actually was a 4 year deal with the reserve clause. If they did all that & still left their team then they were labelled as troublemakers. CFL General Managers weren't quick to sign them. It was a "you scratch my back & I'll scratch yours" type of situation in the 1960's & 70's. GMs knew if they had a problem with a player, they could count on their fellow GMs not to sign them as the next time it could be another one of them with a problem player. So collusion did happen & teams worked together to keep salaries down. For most players it wasn't worth the hassle so they didn't do that. They just signed a new deal & stayed put. In today's CFL, players have total freedom. They can sign 1 year deals & then leave. Mauldin chose not to. Strange decision. He would have made more money & might have been a Grey Cup Champion somewhere else.

Most of these young, unknown & never have played qbs on a CFL roster are just that. Waste of time & money. Come & go like head colds. If they can't do short yardage they never see the field. And change from year to year.

I'm just gonna say that would be up to Osh. Other than that, if they think Bethell-Thompson can still play then sign him. If not, find somebody else. We need a veteran. Someone who gives us a chance if Collaros goes down. He's been hanging around year.

Two years of LIMITED practice reps bouncing between 2nd & 3rd string with the knee injuries to Streveler the past 2 seasons. Wilson with a bit of game experience certainly didn't light it up when he did play. Artoepus one season of virtually no reps as the third & fourth stringer. The other 2 qbs have nver set foot on a CFL practice field let alone a game field. All of them behind Collaros could be cut & never missed. Yeah... okay. Great take said no one ever.

It could be a lot of things. The system, coaching or just not fitting in. I'd still take my chances as a 1 year backup with the guy.

How can Stanley be having a great year but is a defensive liabilty??

That may be but can he help us win??? That's all that matters in the end. Like I said, I'll take a guy that's out there as long as he is a pro in the meeting rooms as well as the practice & playing field.

I agree. His starting days may be over but he could be the perfect backup working with zach in the qb room. Helping younger guys develop. But man, it's sad when religious beliefs are mocked by some fans.
