Schoen and Lawler are the two best receivers in the league.... with Mack gone. You can't argue this point in good faith. 

That's an interesting development. 
I'll take Wieneke here, especially if we can't re-sign Schoen. 

Gotta disagree with you there.  He is at minimum top 5 in the league - there's only a few others that run routes and make catches the way he does.

True but most corn production in this country is in Ontario. We're facing a losing battle. 
Also, he's from Kansas. 

Totally disagree.
Hatcher is probably out for the season, maybe back in October.
Hollins is pretty clearly a third receiver.  When Rhymes went out they used McInnis and Cottoy a lot more.  Hollins is good not great at getting separation, more of a zone buster playing off others.
I think BC will be all over Schoen.  I'm not really sure why anyone should care about the 6'8 31 year old receiver who hasn't made a team since D2.
If you had a draft of all CFL players, Lawler or Begelton would probably be the first receiver off the board.  They are the only two guys with the full route tree and just crazy dangerous with the ball.

well if they need help moving the goalposts there's a few people around here could probably help...

I would think so. He has been treated more than fairly in Winnipeg.

The better half and I were staying at the Delta (near Scotiabank & Skydome) in August to make it easier to get to the game (1 train stop) and allow partaking in the festivities without worrying about how much we (I) drink.
We come down the elevator and turn left to go to Union and not 20 second later a  guy who was coming from the other direction, dressed in black from sneakers to hoodie stops his e-scooter in front of us, removes his headphones and says "Pardon me, I just wanted to ask who your favorite player on defence is?" We were wearing our Argo gear.
Looking up to him (he had an extra 4 inches on his scooter) without even thinking I answer back "Pickett. He's everywhere."
He says "Aw man, it isn't me?"
Not recognizing his face and hating to have to ask I said "I'm sorry man, I don't recognize your face..."
He introduces himself politely. It's Stiggers. Hands are shook. 
I tell him "Well 42, maybe I just didn't say it was you since I'm fairly sure that you'll be off to somewhere down south next year." He laughs and thanks us for the encouragement. Nice guy. We wish him all the best.
He scoots off westward at 35kmh, we hop a train to the tailgate.
We get there and everyone was telling us how bad we missed out because AJ, who wasn't playing that day, had been by to partake. I tell them about Qwan'tez. Laughs and beers were had. Argos win.
 
I miss football season.

and he lives in Regina "full time" (when he's not in Winnipeg coaching) so going to TO seems like a bit of a stretch, especially at this point in his life.

huzzah! Stan The Boy Bryant!

I think the closest comparison to Demski is Begelton, both are tough, elusive and good at accumulating YAC.

We just came through a season where our highest paid receiver was (by and large) not a factor in our 16-2 record. And he had a lingering hip injury. And his salary was comparable to the guy we got for him.
Makes sense from our perspective. With Ceresna in, I suppose this means that either or both of Oakman or Hendrix won't be back.
I wish KGJ a prosperous reunion with MBT.

Jets weren’t awful. The second period was but 1st and 3rd were good. That Philly goalie made multiple ridiculous saves. Props to him. Honestly I think most nights we win that game. Errson was that much of a difference  and it was apparent tho that the jets need a break. 9 games in 15 nights. 8-1 in that stretch. I’ll take it. 

Good post and thought. Thxs

Not sustainable if the QB is garbage yes.  And you can’t draft and develop linemen.  And you overpay a bunch of free agents without being able to backfill your roster.  Yes.
 
Collaros deal is fine.  The SMS limit is higher and he’s making over 100k less than those guys were.
The only way you do anything with his deal is if you’re willing to trade or release him.

I have family in that line of work.  Many try it due to the $$, and many can't hack it.

Trust me, even just doing wellsite stuff in Alberta with the ability to go home every few weeks is soul crushing. I wasn't even on the rig floor,  I did the white collar stuff. Yeah the money is good (or at least was) but it's a pretty awful existence. I am much happier earning less doing what I do now knowing I get to go home every night.

Same, the mental aspect of that kind of isolated, dangerous work can be just as taxing as the physicality. 
 
Back to topic, yeah the amount of time spent working out, dealing with nutrition, training, film study.
Todays players probably get as much or less legit time off as any of us who have been at our jobs most of our adult lives.

Couple good lasers, and we're golden.
