    The primary point here is:
    You can win with a lesser talent at the QB position. From that POV, the Als didn't make a mistake signing Fajardo
    Sure, they could do better at that position - but mission accomplished for 2023

    I could see someone on a cheap QB contract doing just that. Secure a reliable RB for your developing QB. 
    But, that ain't us right now.

    Fajardo threw for almost 4000 yards this past season. Fair to say that both had a solid receiving crew to throw to. It's not the passing yards with them, it's more the decision making in critical situations.

    MBT?  I don't think there's much to choose from - between the two.

    You're joking.....right?
    "Police stopped the vehicle Marshall was driving and reportedly found a modified automatic handgun. Records said Marshall and Borders were in “possession of sawed-off shotgun, sawed-off rifle, dangerous weapon, or silencer.”"
    I realize that it's Georgia but even they have gun laws. If he's found guilty, he'll be playing QB for the Georgia State Prison "Rough Riders" for the next five years (manditory sentence for him if found guilty) a la Burt Reynolds in The Longest Yard.

    The fact that you remember this stuff is incredible and mind boggling... always a pleasure to read your Bomber history memories
    @Taylor Ribbins... unfortunately you father played 10 years before I was born so I'm no use to you... but good luck with your search!

    I wonder about Mitchell. he loves Calgary but there's no future living there. I don't know if he wants to move to Toronto to work for TSN. I personally think his playing days are over. If I was Milanovich, I'd be excitred at the prospect of developing Taylor Powell. he was the guy that should have been playing all along but like O'Shea here with his wacky roster moves, Steinhauer did the same thing with the Ti Cats. Benched Powell for the 2 injury prone & inconsistent other guys. If I was a Hamilton fan, today I'd be singing "Happy Days are here again" with Steinhauer kicked upstairs & Milanovich taking over as HC.

    Yup reffing in any sport and at most levels is a tough gig.

    I can easily see why someone would give it up. There is very little consistency in what they are asked to call.  And command centre can be downright inexplicable.

    I have a hard time reconciling that with the fact that there’s a list of guys in the NFL with criminal records a mile long.
    It seems to me that if teams think you can play, they find a way around the off-field stuff.

    Even then, some offenses will be able to deal with the pressure. I'd say you have to be able to go with a 3 or 4 man rush & trust your back end to cover.

    Fajardo is crap but he was better than Zach.  So that means we lost because on that evening,  Montreal was the better team. Better on O, better on D. 
    Replay the game and the Bombers probably win. Replay it again maybe the Als do,  maybe the Bombers do. 
    It is what it is.  We been to 4 straight cups, we are 2 and 2. 
    Prior to this we had about a 30 year Grey cup drought... 
    Not sure why all the fuss. Bombers class of the league, yup we lost the final game but I'll take that over Mack Buchko Kelly Daley reinbold etc 
    But a discussion board needs to discuss or it becomes ourbombers.com so fuss away... training camp is months away
