Mike

I honestly have such a hard time responding to your posts. They're filled with such misinformation that it makes me really wonder if you are capable of seeing things with an unbiased eye. I mean really, you made two statements in that entire post and neither one of them is anywhere even NEAR true. Willy has completed 23 quarters of football this season, so for the sake of giving your argument a bit of merit, let's say 6 full games even though it's one quarter and change short of that. He's thrown for 8 touchdowns and we've rushed for 3 more on drives that he's finished off. So on average, it's basically double what you suggested. When Brohm came in against Hamilton, it was 17-7 Hamilton. In the first quarter. That is not a game that is out of hand, never mind "well out of hand". When Brohm came in against Edmonton, it was 4-3 Edmonton. Neither one of these is a ridiculous situation for a backup quarterback to enter into. They should actually be the exact kind of situations a backup QB is mentally prepared to enter, seen as how the body of their work isn't really expected to come in mop up time after their team is already well out in front. Feel free to share your opinion but don't try and lace it with pure bull**** and expect to have it slide. While I agree with most of this post Mike. average of 2 tds a game is still complete bullshit, especially this year. But as for the other comments, yes the games he's stepped into have given him plenty of time to show something...even a glimmer of hope that he's improving...but we only see 3 passes in a row bounce off the turf. Brohm is brutal, but I'll say MB is worse. Oh, for sure not good enough. But that doesn't make the facts in his post any more accurate. I said I'm ok with Brohm starting this weekend. Given who is available, who would you prefer? Could Brohm have been better coming off the bench? Maybe but I'm not going to vilify the guy because given the limited reps he does appear to do some things well. Better than Marve. And he does some things tempo-wise better than Willy. Unfortunately it's been a perfect storm for him. As for Drew Willy - he has NOT been able to produce 2 TDs per game. Far from it. Since he arrived in Winnipeg Willy has generated less than one strike per game, on average. In 24 starts for him its 22 TDs. And 19 INTs. That level of O production is not going to win games in Pop Warner, let alone the CFL. Winnipeg's can't run, can't pass O doesn't scare anyone, even with Drew Willy at the helm. so we just ignore the rushing touchdowns now. Gotcha.

Would settle for Nate Collins.

so now they clarify the Nichols trade and say it can be a 6th rounder if Nichols is on the team in 2016. I was mistaken then. Never seen it worded that way before.

No, no you don't. The Bombers wouldn't have the rights to Mulumba or Bilukidi if that were the case. I think this is the 2nd time in the last couple weeks that Kpt Krunch has made this assertion. So I will confirm your post above. CFL TEAMS HOLD THE RIGHTS OF ALL DRAFT PICKS INDEFINITELY THAT DON'T SIGN WITH THEM. He was corrected last time as well. He never lets little things like facts get in the way of his ranting. Yeah, like I'm the only 'ranter' here - give me a break It amazes me how you always manage to respond to a comment without actually responding to the comment.

That makes no sense at all. It makes complete sense. The CFL actually words their transactions quite clearly. If you go back and look at the Brohm trade, see what we traded. A "conditional draft pick", no round listed. Because the conditions were that the value of the pick could escalate depending on Brohm meeting certain benchmarks. What did we trade for Nichols? A "conditional 7th round draft pick", meaning *if* the conditions are met, Edmonton will get a 7th rounder. If they aren't met, the pick (being conditional) will not go to Edmonton.

The conditional 7th rounder is a 7th rounder at most, regardless of what Wilkins said. It's conditional because Nichols will have to hit benchmarks for Edmonton to earn it, they could get nothing at all.

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.
