He is better than anything we could have got. So, I'm satisfied. Glenn is on his way down as well. Again, you don't give an alternative. Who would you sign?

3 Down Football wrote a story indicating he was taking a shot at the Bombers for not signing him. People react as the story is slanted against the Bombers. At the same time, Glenn would have to be an absolute idiot if he claimed he didn't know that tweet could be interpreted as a shot to the Bombers or any other CFL team. He knew.

They have more bloggers posting stories now than they used to. I think the quality has suffered.

Probably 2 years ago when Glenn was here but he never saw the field behind Nichols. it was good knowing he was there. Historically? When John Hufnagel was backing up Tom Clements from 1983-86.

I like 3DN but not as much as I used to. I'm seriously considering blocking it as they are reporting a lot of non stories now & the fan comments are UGH!! Reading what those dimwits say lowers the credibility of the site. There shouldn't be any comments as most of the people who do post are stupid.

Random thoughts? Yeah, he realized the backlash from talking trash & backed off. A wise man once said, "Stupid is as stupid does".

I'll miss LeFevour on short yardage but not much else

So, damned if we do signing Durant as now he's too expensive. Damned if we don't as we have no capable backups as we cheaped out at the 2 backup positions. So, TBurg, what would you have done? No one is asking Durant to go out there & win a GC all on his own. All he's being asked todo is to be competent & give the Bombers the best chance to win if Nichols goes down. Good CFL backups are making $180-225,000 which is market value. I expect that is what DD is being paid. Getting rid of LeFevour's & Davis's contracts will offset this signing. LeFevour didn't play for free & he was vastly overpaid for what he could do on the field as a qb.

Every team has screwed Glenn according to him so we just need to stand in line.

Allen has this reputation because he's won 4 Grey Cups with 4 different teams while Glenn hasn't won any playing for 9 teams.

Yeah, Straughan hasn't played a down & suddenly he's this guy who'll be great??? Little premature for that.

The Darian Durant that isn't the guy who left the Riders is still better than the 2 players we had hit the field last season behind Nichols so I'm good with it.

He's not expected to carry the team so this is a good scenario for Durant & the Bombers.

Backups only get so many oppportunities & have to shine or at least show signs of progress when they do see the field. Davis never showed that. Probably time to move on.

Yeah, that's why he was sought out as a private qb coach. Why Tim Tebow worked with him for a couple of off seasons as well as other high draft prospects at qb. Cutler is a total headcase. A selfish Me First player who was never going to be successful no matter who he played for. He was successful with Calvillo & Ray, so what? How many coaches before & after Trestman in Montreal & Toronto were failures with those 2 qbs? Sometimes you just talk ****.

Paul Maurice talked about it in his presser yesterday that the NHL is mandated to match teams up off the bye. Both teams have had byes at the same time to even it up.

C'mon man. that is so decidedly one sided & hateful that it ain't funny. You & 17to85 are trying to convince us that Allen was one step above being basically competent. He won 4 Grey Cups. Not every team had great talent surrounding him like the Lions who finished second during the regular season in the West Division in 2000. Glenn could never elevate the players around him but Allen could. Glenn can't win the last game of the season. I've seen him turn coward & turtle more times than any other qb I've seen play. Where Matt Dunigan would spit in the collective face of any defense he faced when he was getting beat up, Glenn just shuts off. I never saw Allen do that. He played & he won. Glennis always the great alternative but never the undisputed starter. Allen was.

He could be a 40 goal scorer in the future.

Mike Smith played his ass off for the Flames. It should have been 4 or 5-1 for the Jets. Hellebuyck came up big in the OT & shootout. Nice win. Now on to Vancouver for the Canuckleheads.

Your argument is very weak. matter of fact it's shot full of holes.Damon Allen was not just an average qb on par with Kevin Glenn. He was head & shoulders above Glenn. Even Glenn would agree with that assessment.

I think Trestman would have found a way to make it work without Calvillo. He's one of the best qb coaches around so maybe he could have developed one of those guys like Crompton for example, to be a competent CFL qb. They had nothing coaching wise after he left.

It unravelled in Montreal after Trestman left.

No kidding. David Clarke who used his position as Sherriff to bully, antagonize & intimidate others??? Wow.

Former Stampeder quarterback Jerry Keeling who led the Stamps to their Grey Cup victory in 1971 has died at the age of 78. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/jerry-keeling-obit-calgary-stampeders-1.4497040

What I don't understand is how the politicians have made the budget process so sadly political. This is about funding govt departments & not about forwarding political wish lists. Trump, the Dems, GOP, the Senate, Congress & both parties all share the blame for this. They're all idiots.
