Maybe Nichols doesn't start but good lord, give him two series to watch from the sidelines and throw him in there. Brohm is ****ing horrible.

Good lord, I can't believe I'm actually taking a 6 hour bus ride to watch Brian Brohm throw a football around.

Considering we're signing him to be a backup, this is a very wise move. Should coincide with the release of Brohm too, one would think.

Nichols for a 7th rounder. WOW.

lmao

Trading draft picks for talent and leaving a team cap strapped and devoid of talent three years down the road? The old hit and run special

I'd rather go 0-18 every year At this point, I don't even care anymore, I just want a winner and Tillman is building yet another winner in Hamilton.

... Tillman for GM.

Right up the gut.

No, truthfully they should have signed an actual brand new talent instead. Even though some of them have worked out, this regime has given meaningful carries to a grand total of ONE running back that wasn't on his second or third look at the CFL. Paris Cotton couldn't even make Hamilton, Nic Grigsby was in Toronto (or BC I believe) for a bit of a training camp, then we were going to trot out Tyler Thomas and now Chevon Walker? Cam Marshall seems to be the only entirely fresh face. It's getting old.

No kidding. I like when we go out and see Walters making moves Mack would've never made like Jasper Simmons or Stanley Bryant but holy **** do we really need to sign every Chevon Walker and Dom Picard along the way?

^^ yeah, basically. Stuff like this makes me cringe. Walters needs to rely on fresh faces a bit more often. Chevon Walker was absolutely awful in Ottawa.

Alright, I'm over this season.

Who of those 3 is covering a slotback? Bass or Wild. I don't know if Simmons has the speed. Neither do the other two. Randle isn't going anywhere, and even if he is you're still playing a DB in that spot. Not sold on Randle. Then you don't know what you're looking for. He's quietly become an elite SAM in this league, no question.

Marve has shown no ability so far to operate at the speed the CFL requires. He spends WAY too long making his primary read. This compounds, because it forces him to rush into the next read. This compounds, because when he's rushed, he goes into survival mode. This compounds, because when he goes into survival mode, he resorts to his comfort zone which is to freelance and run around. Not to mention he throws the deep ball like he's throwing 50/50 jackpot balls on the schoolyard, he makes way too many poor decisions to throw across his body and he's inaccurate as hell.

I feel like you have these mixed up. Their offense is pretty good? I can't imagine you'd be calling our offense any good after giving up 10 sacks and scoring 13 points.

Blackmon was on our neg list for a while.

I'd prefer Chiles instead of Gordon in the lineup right now. As would I but how are you going to sell a guy on coming here off an NFL stint when your best pitch is that he can start until our other guys get healthy? I'm not throwing him out there instead of Moore, Adams or Denmark at this point.

I'd like to get Chiles here, but it's not really a need beyond injury replacement so I don't see it.

Craighead will probably never play another snap of football. Not that that is anything against him, he's a heck of a player.

Irritating.

Kristian Matte was a first round pick in 2010 and didn't start until this year for Montreal. Bad pick??So, your point? We need to see what Goosen can do. What's Matte have to do with it.My point is that whether he is a bad pick or not cannot be determined this early in his career. I was using Matte as an example to illustrate that it can take time for a young Canadian OL to develop... Sometimes in the order of several years.Teams like Calgary & Montreal who used to have a strong OL can afford to wait 5 years for a draft pick to develop. Please don't compare Winnipeg's OL to the Stamps or Als. We desperately need our draft picks (especially the OL) to contribute & start quickly. We can't afford to develop a player for 5 years. So, while your point may be valid, it's difficult to apply it to the Bombers. So your argument is that to develop a great line like Calgary or Montreal, we should employ the total opposite draft strategy and only aim for picks ready to start right now? Seems counter intuitive to me. I don't know why we're even discussing this. The Bombers can't afford to wait on a draft pick for 5 years. It's a ridiculous premise. We don't have a 90 man roster where you can put project player after project player on some list getting them ready to play someday. We have a 5 million dollar salary cap & a limited roster. At some point a player has to show he belongs or he's cut because teams don't have the financial resources to spend on long, long term developmental players. And it's long before five years. The player you named in Montreal was lucky the Als gave him the time to develop as he's an exception. Most players don't get that luxury with Winnipeg or other teams. I think you're missing the point - Calgary and Montreal don't have that model because of where they are. They are where they are because of that model. You're putting the cart before the horse or however that old person saying goes.

Y is it around here when someone has a different opinion good or bad people like you jump on it as trolling? This is a forum no? Or is it a kumbyas let's not breathe a word of criticism your a troll only forum?It's more a case of choosing to believe that no one could possibly be that stupid so it must be trolling for a reaction. It's not about differing opinions, it's about opinions so unbelievably stupid.Ok who gets to decide that you?Noeller? If it is someone trolling just don't react no? Is Doug Brown an idiot too?It's a slippery slope your traveling. It's the stuff of kids in the school yard. The kids that have been there the longest think it's their school yard and they get to decide what is allowed. Read ahead and you'll see the terms laid out. It's basically threats "Ban him" followed by name-calling. "Stupid", "Troll", until the poor fellow conforms or leaves. Sad really. I'm not going to get into the reasons why they are like this but it is interesting to observe how flummoxed they get when the target of their aggression stands his ground and defies them. I wonder what happens next ... You're not "defying" anyone, not are you really standing your ground seen as how you have a track record of deleting your forum account on multiple sites when you don't like how your condescending opinions are received.

Yet here you are with your crystal ball telling me what I would have said if we had lost in BC. I don't deny I think MOS is a lousy coach. The way he handles our franchise QB is only one reason though. Just do me one favor, don't pack your ball and go home when this debate gets to be too much for you like last time. And before you blame it on all the personal attack stuff, you're being as condescending and rude as anyone in here. It's like we've got our very own Nic Grigsby running around here.

NXT far better than WWE main roster programming lately. Sasha Banks vs Bayley was probably the best match of the weekend.
