Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
JohnnyAbonny replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Anyone I’ve ever talked to who’s dealt with Wade says roughly the same thing. “He’s a prick, but he’s a damn good businessman” -
They should have had guys in place around 2022 to take over like Brady did. The MLB spot bugs me the most. Tony J might be good, for sure physically would offer more than Biggie does right now. The optics of having 2 years to find someone and the best they could do is a guy who Chris Jones of all people couldn’t find a spot for are downright terrible. We have the worst LBs in the league and it’s not close. To run out the same corps as last years GC, in Week 7 is inexcusable.

It’s because we lost those cup games, and now we’re on the way to a rebuild without the dynasty we thought we had.

Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
JohnnyAbonny replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I was saying it before, as someone who’s worked in them my entire adult life, this situation has all the toxic aspects that occur in a poorly managed union shop. Keeping fresh blood on the peripherals. No innovation. Catering to senior employees beyond what’s required. No current accountability for anyone who’s performed well in the past. It’s all so familiar lol. -

Cautiously optimistic about Grymes actually. If his knee is healed, we can maybe squeeze a few good (or better than BA) games out of him. Wouldn’t be the worst bandaid back there. Of course there’s 3 guys already around that can play safety too, it’s still dumb, just not the dumbest -

I don’t recall any pearl clutching out of Regina when Robertson headbutted Collaros last year. -

I just realized they run everything like a union shop. Completely seniority based. -
Call it what you want … you need to move on from Collaros
JohnnyAbonny replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I don’t think he’s gonna be able to do it for much longer unless they let him try playing actual quarterback. He’s already had the **** beat out of him and only started a game -

Or we could just sit him for 3 years and let him walk.. I didn’t say make Wilson the starter, I said give him some playing time as the backup with Strev starting, maybe give him a game or 2 if Streveler gets banged up. See what he can do currently and if he has enough to be worth keeping around. I believe Streveler can be the guy now but how can you call him, or any 30 year old quarterback “The future”? I don’t want to go the Tim Burke route, I also don’t want to be the post-Calvillo Als with 30 year old Adrian MacPherson as the hot young prospect. -

Why? -
“The players implemented FIFO” It was an old Argo thing and if the players used it, it was because the coach liked it. At this point it should be “play well or **** off” “From the ****** handshake” was the little motto the players used when this thing was originally turning around. Started by Jamal Westerman iirc. I liked that one much better.

Agreed. In addition, it might be time to give Terry Wilson a game. I know Strev is up next but he is 30. With his style and the way they use him, we’re not getting more than 1-2 more years imo. They need to see if they haven’t completely buggered up the QB position for the future, and the only way to do that is give Wilson some playing time. He couldn’t do much worse than Collaros has. 1 or 6 game Zach with a thorax setback and see what you have for the future. -

That’s right, and a lot of those players Wally let go ended up declining here. -

3 Turds in the Toilet Bowl. 1. Collaros. It’s time to make a permanent change. 2. The officials. DPI is literally just running? 3. Bighill- Sad to say, at this point in his career he’s the worst tackler out of any starting defensive player in the CFL, save maybe BA. No honker when they lose to the riders.
