Arrogance & stubborness.

Collaros had a multi year deal & then signed an extension so I think 50% of his final year is guaranteed. Yep, this management & coaching team has made some dreadful mistakes pver the years with the mismanagemnet of the roster under the salary cap. As well as who they kepy & releasd. I was an abashed Walters fan but since he signed this last deal he really hasn't done anything. Except let players walk. Osh is Osh. With him nothing ever changes.

They had talent & let them go after the past few seasons. We never replacd the guys we needed that left. "Everyone's a starter" & "Next Man Up!!" says our Head Coach.. That only works if you have talent & depth. Once you begin starting the scrubs then there is no NMU. It happened to Calgary after 2018 & looks like it'll happen here.

So, Mitchell doesn't look for Lawler every play? The only other playmaker in that passing offense is Tim White. If Lawler is an A then White is a C. As far as moving on from Zach, just who are we going to move on to? Have you checked our qb roster? There's nothing to move on to. I'd be for starting Wilson at qb just to see if he has a chance to be an actual starter for us.

I said no about 3 times. Did a football hit you in the head damaging your brain?

My point is we have 2 guys on the roster in Kolo & Thomas drawing $250-300,000 & are no longer effective players. We pay them & let lawler go as we don't want to pay what Hamilton is paying.

This is a huge problem. The stubborness & arrogance of our Head Coach.

How much are Jake & Kolo making? Guys that are cooked & making close to $300,000 between the two of them. We pay guys who shouldn;t be starters & let a star player go. There were ways to make Lawler stay financially. Again, Walters did nothing.

Look at our stats. We suck at receiver. Maybe Woli was a bad example, I agree but look what's happened to our receiving group. We had chances to sign available free agents out there like Dominique Rhymes this past off season. We chose not to. Just like we sat pat on the DL.

Mike O'Shea makes some strange decisions as a coach & his decisions are a major contributor to put us in the position we're in. However, I blame Kyle Walterss for the team we have now. We had a disastrous off season. You could tell the talent level for our starterss took a nosedive onc free agency started & we are also razor thin for depth. The shocking thng is Kyle Walters was the architect of the steaming pile of garbage we have now. He did nothing all off season or for a number of seasons befor that going back to 2022. He let people leave & did nothing to replace them. We had trememdous depth at the time & over the years it's been whittled away. If that's the kind of of general managing he's going to do then let him go do it somewhere else. He needs to get his head out of his ass & actually start doing something. Even though it's kinda late now. This could be a lost season.

Walters dismantled our receiving corps letting Lawler & Woli go. You can see just how much better the Stamps receivers are compared to us. Our DL is just terrible. Our secondary was confused all night & had no answer for Vernon Adams throwing the ball. You get what you paid for.

I thought I had 3 strikes & was out. Turns out, I only had two. Didn't realize we had five. If I'm still able, I know I just passed the deadline but can I still make my pick? If not, i'll take my lumps this week. Brady Oliveira.

No, you NEVER base your opinions here like they're fact. Like everyone else is wrong & you're always right. I guess you're truly the only smart guy here.

My impression was that when the game got tight Arbuckle reverted back to the qb we know & are used to seeing. That pick he threw late killed the Argos. Arbuckle has to be able to put all his fears & doubts aside & win games under pressure. I thought perhaps this game might be the one that propelled his career to new heights but then he "Arbuckled" his team. He can't win the big games as he falls apart. Except against us in the Grey Cup.

I was going to mention Grant but you beat me to it.

Why can't the CFL have a draft of American & international players? Say 8 rounds separate from the CFL draft of Canadans now to generate interest. These secret Neg Lists go back to the 1960's. It's time to change the way the CFL conducts business. Now, I'm not advocating the league goes out & drafts players that will be NFL automatics but there are players from the fourth round down that will never make an NFL team or some that'll never be drafted. I think CFL fans would be interested in finding out who their teams drafted & finding out more about them. Just my take.

That's what posters here that you were arguing with were saying that personnel decisions & the management of our cap is puzzling with the decisions made. We're not disloyal to question just WTH is going on. This has been a long time thing with Osh as he plays favourites. We get rid of guys who could still contribute like Lawler & let players walk in free agency. Then not replacing them.

Mount up! Move out!! Rider Nation can't spell let alone count. It's Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders. Not Roughriders.

Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds debuts this evening on CTV SCI Fi. Two 1 hour episodes, I believe.

Eighty seven is a good, long life.

So, you'd rather we pay a player with a bum knee who can't stay healthy? How is that not a waste of money & a bad choice when it comes to managing our salary cap? We have an inexperienced deep threat in Wheatfall. A kid who caught 1 pass in Case, an aging Nik Demski & you say you'd rather not pay for the best receiver in the CFL? We have the worst receiving corps in the CFL right now. If we were a hot mess last year then we're a steaming pile of .... this year. QB is not our only problem.

From the stories I read online, the Elks did use the increase to their advantage. They signed a half dozen high priced free agents the first day. However, don't know if Ed Hervey spent a dollar or a hundred thousand more than us. Again, not lying. Just telling you what I know.

What I read is that some teams are spending like the cap went up. Edmonton for sure. We can also probably include Hamilton in that group as well. I don't know how much these teams spent. Other teams like Winnipeg & Calgary stayed close to the old cap amount. That is all I know. That is what I read. Imagine the **** show if he CFL reversed the increase? Then what??? It's too late for that now.

So, after all this time (6 months) still no announcement of a change. And what will the CFL do with the teams like Edmonton that spent (in good faith) up to the new cap amount if the CFLPA does change it's mind? Clawback the $400,000 with financial penalties & loss of draft picks?? Highly unlikely. The cap would be a mess. Teams would be in disarray & the CFL would look totally bush just like they did last Friday. So, if the CFL & CFLPA haven't figured things out by now then they deserve every criticim they get.

Why don't you? You seem to know more than me. I don't lie or make things up. I have no reason to. Maybe I'll get info wrong sometimes but I'm no liar.
