I don't believe in jinxes. Players make their own luck. So what if he's 25? He's played & lost a lot of games being given the opportunity to start most of the Lions games since 2015. He makes the same mistakes now that he did 2 years ago. I don't see a lot of progression in his development. He should have won a lot more games with the receiving corps that he had in BC but he didn't. Yes, some of it was the play calling of KJ, like not using Jeremiah Johnson enough to establish the running game. However, a lot of the mistakes on the field were Jennings fault. Throwing into double coverage, not believing his eyes looking downfield therefore holding onto the ball too long resulting in sacks, lacking patience on drives where he overthrew open receivers, fumbling because he didn't do enough to protect the football & throwing interceptions at the worst possible time. All these mistakes killed so many drives. He did all of this in 2016 & it continued & even got worse this past season. Maybe with a new OC it'll be a rebirth for Jennings but right now I'd say he's bottom 3 for starting qbs.

Stupid is as stupid does.

With Buck & LaPo already here, I don't know why O'Shea would even offer him a position with the Bombers. I don't think he'll coach here until he's an OC again.

What has Jennings accomplished other than being a turn over machine? You said you'd take Willy over Collaros & that Jennings just has to make better decisions. Willy's a slug. Jennings has a brick between his ears. When it comes to playing qb, I don't want either. And, unlike Collaros, those 2 haven't won a lot of games between them as starters. Like I said, I don't know if Collaros still has it but I'd be willing to give him a chance over the other 2.

No way, TBurgess, you're being sucked in by Jennings athleticism. The same as Wally & KJ did. Jennings athleticism is all he has. He doesn't have the smarts. What does Willy show when he gets the time to play? Deer in the headlights look as he's panicking. I don't know if Collaros still has it but Willy sure doesn't. There's absolutely no upside for Drew Willy.

Edit

Ritchie Hall muss entlassen werden!

He hasn't been fired yet...

No problem.

At least use a decent image to make a point. Your kid draw this? Or did you? Isn't it time to get a new name? wbbfan has decent takes. You OTOH...

Do you have any idea what BC would want in a trade for Elimimian? Multiple starters & draft picks. It would be too rich for the Bpombers. Or any team

When you have a subpar qb then every coach loses his IQ.

I'd think most was on Jennings. He's terrible. All kinds of athleticism but can't make the right reads or decisions. Guys like KJ thought he was a can't miss kind of player & that he was elite. He sure fooled Wally. Instead he was just a cut above Darian Durant for the worst starting qb in the CFL.

Find a DC who actually plays a middle linebacker. We went back to 2015 using Hurl. That was a case of looking back & not looking forward.

He takes the fall for an overrated qb in Jennings & his crappy season. Funny how Wally is Teflon & nothing sticks to him.

I know. But the way he worded it, I couldn't resist.

But they won't so how does saying they should change anything? The CFL will still have to go up against the Stanley Cup playoffs & final. It would be a ratings disaster.

Why would the NHL do that? They won't.

Once the NHL season starts (even training camps) the CFL is pushed back to page 3 or deeper on the sports pages around the country. How many media people in Winnipeg or elsewhere would be covering training camp or pre season games? if they started the season the first or second week of June there's be little fanfare on the start of the season. Once our playoffs & GC were played in October then we're dealing with MLB & the start of the NHL season. These are huge conflicts that would make the CFL irrelevant. The GC wouldn't get the national exposure it gets now. The CFL needs MORE & not less coverage.

Edit

What year did you play?

This will filter down to mainstream society. If you're not concerned about this then I submit that you & others just like to see the headlines. Seeing celebrities go down. Nothing to do with justice but enjoying the proceedings. Kind of like a crowd at a disaster taking it all in.

You'd have the SC playoffs conflict at the beginning of the season as well as the start of the NHL season & World Series at the end. The CFL would be buried. Dumb idea.

Agree with the article. Leave the schedule alone.

Glen Johnson retires. Good riddance.
