TBURGESS

My 'Narrative' is that the Doctors know more than all the internet keyboard warriors combined & that BC wouldn't take stupid chances on their franchise QB. Lets try this another way... What percentage of elite players think they can beat the odds and come back sooner than average? Most? If you were training one who wanted to try to throw earlier than expected and that wouldn't hurt them, would you tell them no or let them throw? Would you as a trainer get the final say? I'd guess not, but it's your area of expertise so I'm asking. Even if throwing too early sets them back a couple of weeks, it doesn't matter as the season will be over anyway. I know I've hit a nerve when you and others change from arguing the point and start calling me names. I take them as meaning I've won yet again.

I'm not the one claiming they know more than the doctors in the Rourke case. I'm not the one who had foot problems in their 60's that thinks that's the same as what Rourke's going thru. I played sports, but I'm sure you played at a higher level than I did. That means you were a better football player than me, not that everything you say shouldn't be questioned. You can't play any more so you coach and train to stay 'elite athlete adjacent'. As they say those that can do... those that can't teach... those that can't teach, teach gym aka coach. You think training players & playing football at a high level makes you know as much if not more than the doctors who are treating Rourke? NO IT DOESN'T! Take a look at the @wbbfan post. That's how you keyboard warrior. It's not about calling folks assbags or telling them to shut up or whatever ****** is.

I don't care what you do. Unless you're one of the Dr's on the Rourke case, you can't possibly know as much as they do.

Has absolutely nothing to do with Rourke. You're reaching way beyond your expertise and making fools of yourselves, yet again.

I was a kinesiology student 20 years ago and I had reconstructed surgery due to arthritis so I'm an expert on Rourke's injury. LOL. Give me a break. You folks actually think either of those things make you an expert? What egos!

I'm laughing out loud at folks who are pretending they know that BC's rushing Rourke. Internet DR's pretending they know what they're talking about. Rourke may or may not be ready by the last game of the season on the 29th. If he's ready then he'll play. If not, he won't. I can't imagine that the Lions would force him back on the field before he's ready. That'd be crazy and they're not crazy.

I'm a big Rourke fan, but you can't give him any awards because he only played 9 games. Collaros is a lock for MOP & Schoen is a lock for ROTY. I could easily see the CFL giving all the other awards to non-Bombers.

PLAP haters want to change the discussion to QB development? HAHAHAHA. Who cares if a HC develops young QB's? MOS didn't and never will, he's a pretty good HC dontcha know? To develop a great CFL QB, you first have to find one and that's the scouts/GM's job. Streveler is the last one we brought in and before that it was Ralph Dieter Brock. Streveler developed enough to be in the NFL. PLAP didn't get fired because he didn't develop a QB. He got fired for his win percentage as it should be.

Even Calgary, who I think are the 2nd best team in the league right now, wouldn't have done any better than 0-3 against Wpg, Wpg, BC with Rourke & they've only lost to us and BC. Trying to pin that on PLAP is the definition of weak mental gymnastics. Evans, Elliott & Brink are terrible QB's. I doubt anyone could have developed them.

I think Ottawa would have won 3 more games with Masolli instead of Evans/Arbuckle. That would put them in 3rd place in the East. PLAP doesn't get fired now, maybe not fired in the off season.

Lose to Wpg by 2, Wpg by 7, BC with Rourke by 3, Riders & lose Masoli in game. Most teams in the CFL would be 0-4 in that situation. That's close games with the two best teams in the league at the time then lose your starting QB. I don't think most teams win with Caleb Evens as the QB.

Folks around here told me that HC's should get 3 years to make the playoffs if they inherit a bad team or maybe that's just MOS after applying 20-20 hindsight.

VAJ's best game in a long time. He needs to run to be effective and he did. I thought the Lions "Salmon going up stream" TD celly was hilarious. Hey PLAP... if your team scores FG's and the other team scores TD's, your gonna lose. No advantage to canning PLAP until the end of the season. Good coaches have jobs & no one else should own any part of this years team's performance. BC - TOR next week will be a big game to see if BC under VAJ is still a top club or if they're just beating up on bad teams like the redblacks.

1. Schoen - ROTY does it again 2. Demski - Killing his old team yet again 3. Leggz - Form tackling kicker? Are you freakin kidding me? HH: Walker for stuffing the 3rd down gamble in the 3rd when the Riders were making a comeback.

Sitting this argument out.

PLAP lost his starting QB. Does MOS look better, worse or about the same as PLAP if we lost Collaros?

Let me expand on it then. Another "you are right" means I was right, but wattabout something that doesn't matter to me being right. Better?

Sucker punching someone is way worse than talking smack, even if it is about their Mommy.

Sadly no.

Yet another you are right but.... posts.

Calgary has the best QB situation in the league by far. Maier backed up by BLM. It makes them the only team where an injury to the starting QB wouldn't make much if any difference. Every other team is one hit away from QB disaster.

That's what happens when a bend don't break defence has a bad day. It becomes a bend and break defence. Nothing to see here unless it happens again next game, then we'd have a problem.

1. Schoen - ROY and it's not even close now 2. Demski - Great TD 3. Brady O - Ran hard HH O'Leary-Orange - Big game for the big guy

Official call: (12:48) T. CORNELIUS Run QB Sneak (0 yds), T. CORNELIUS Fumble forced by D. SANKEY, Recovered by T. CORNELIUS at S1 (0 yds), Tackle: D. SANKEY, PLAY REVIEWED (Coach): Call Stands, CHALLENGE: Saskatchewan challenged for a fumble recovery. I'm not sure how Cornelius recovers a ball that was behind him, but that means you are right & I'm wrong. It was called a fumble and recovery by the Elks. Flame away folks.
