It's the one position where you can't cheap out.  You can slide lesser talent in here and there at other positions, but not at QB

We have also seen the opposite. The Bombers spent a number of years in that hinterland, as you well know. 

I've never liked you.

Unfortunately, recent history has shown us otherwise.

Look I’m all for player safety but why is the league so fascinated with putting the ball on the 40?
It’s an easy FG drive at the least for any competent offence. As a reward for your D giving up a touchdown? That’s just plain stupid. 
Again, foolish of them. 
I’m pretty sure it was always going to be Ottawa though.
On the field, I don’t see them as the shitshow some others here do. 
They were a decent team last year with no QB and a lot of bad luck. 
Hell, they beat the Bombers.
With a consistently good QB, couple pieces in FA? They could get very good very quickly. 

Augustine has barely played since a couple games in 2019 in anything but garbage time.  Not even worth bringing up to try to make a point.

Ok, now I think people are going too hard in the other direction here.
Last year Brady was absolute crap for the first half of the season and clearly made changes to be the incredible back he was for the last half of 2022 and all of 2023. It is not all the OL and not every back will have close to his success. Augustine had a high average at the end of blow out games. It's not an equal comparison.

US RB's are getting better as the years go by and more schools are running Spread type stuff in pass protection and receiving, but that can be a huge issue depending what kind of offense they've played coming up.  CFL is a lot different.

That first Super Bowl was coaching his defense carried that team. People forget he is one of the biggest defensive minds to ever coach the game. 

Can't wait for more of the 'running backs are a dime a dozen' posts. After that, do linebackers.

The thing I’d miss most about Brady though is his work in the pass game both receiving and blocking. Blocking in particular, I’m not sure if any of those guys can match. 
 
Strictly running the ball, yes I think any of the 3 you mentioned would do as well or better than Brady. 
 

If we lose Brady, I will greatly miss how he dictated the tone to opponents, how he established the run to open up play action the pass game, how he was a multi threat and, as importantly, his sidelines off field contributions. 
I don't think he's a dime a dozen.

It has been wonderful to witness our beloved football team emerge from the Canadian Football Hinterland.  Savouring their success is akin to the gradual imbibement of single malt.  Would that I still had young days ahead of me, and could fully take to the field again.

Why would Stanley Bryant have to wait for the dominoes to fall?  He negotiates his own contracts and it's not like he's inline for a raise.  I guess if Walters wanted to chop his salary too much, he could always make more playing elsewhere.

I heard they fart in his general direction.

I actually kind of missed Loquacious Larry.
