Good job Danny Mac. You have done more in a few months to solve our QB woes than the previous Bomber management regimes have done in 10 years.

I could see us signing someone else's roster trimmings as a back-up should both guys not be ready.

http://www.winnipegsun.com/2014/04/14/willie-haulstead-drawing-attention-with-big-catches-at-bombers-mini-camp I see now who you are talking about. What DID happen to him? I like the comment at the end about Marve.

Me too, though we aren't exactly talking about a high bar here. We could have started a Jugs machine behind center this year and it would have been an upgrade.

And Jaymael Smith...

I liked his response to whoever the clown was that kept persisting on the "what keeps you up at night?" question. That guy was pretty douchey. That's Wiecek Why am I not surprised. What a ****-head.

Most experienced at losing QB. Clearly the staff was under-whelmed by Hall, and so was I. If Willy goes down, we are dead in the water this year, but pretty much everyone in the CFL other than Calgary has this problem with their starter. How screwed is Ottawa if Burris goes down? Edmonton if Reilly goes down? Even Saskatchewan if Durant goes down? I think it was a case of keeping a guy like Brohm who has shown potential upside vs a guy who only shows mediocrity.

LOL - that's why he gets the big bucks. Now expect an article "O'Shea doesn't think Bombers have what it takes to make playoffs". LOL!

Probably on the coaching staff with where-ever Crowton ended up, or on the staff at BYU. The Mormon mafia will take care of him.

Good points. Best job of management was filling the stable with quarterbacks that can play. Something we haven't had in a long time. Our "young guns" are going to be fun to watch, if they can actually get some blocking. And that's why we have Wylie. I also liked how they cleared out a lot of Mack deadwood this year. Pencer, Poblah, Etienne, Hall, Kowalchuk - all replaced with better guys.

I wasn't impressed with his effort level in the Calgary game. He looked like he thought he had already made the team. Oh well, he's an arena football star, he'll be ok.

just glad that they kept Marve. I'd be sad if he was released, then picked up by Montreal, and now he's their QB for the next 15 years, leading them to 4 Cups and 12 first place finishes...while we continue to toil away in futility...

I already did that joke.

Why should Friday be any different from every other day? My point is that it would be easier being hungover on a Saturday when your not at work. Yeah and my point is that when you are showing up for work with a hangover every day, Friday doesn't really matter.

If I lived in Manitoba within an hour drive of Winnipeg I'd have season tickets. It wouldn't even be a question.

Bryant Turner would throw a tire through three footballs.

I hear you. I wanted to get a Shawarma Khan but gave up as the line was far too long.

I noticed that Edmonton cut Shea Pierre. I think he's worth a look but only because he's got such a cool name.

You may be right, but I wouldn't be basing it on that stinker of a pre-season game they just played. Out right putrid.

The problem with Bryant Turner at fullback is that the only person who could stop him on D would be Bryant Turner. Therefore Cohon just announced that all goal line stands the Bombers engage in this year will be automatically deemed a TD in the interests of saving time. If the Winnipeg RB is stopped on the one yard line, the ref will simply pick up the ball and walk it across the goal line, and signal touchdown. Approval of this rule change was unanimous.

ehhhhhhhh I dunno. Any extra job security Stephan got from Newman's injury has now been removed. The team needs lots of these types of players during the year. Stephan is still competing with Eisho for a job. If Cornell is still a gamer and Briggs' injury is soon resolved, then the numbers will start to work against him. Or Eisho. Unlikely they cut both. Stephan will be hurt in the first half of the first game and be gone for the year. So it really doesn't matter.

Practice...I think Hall lost it based on Brohm showing something decent in his second preseason game. He didn't show any better than Hall in that game though, and he was clearly worse in game 1 as well. Difference is simply that Hall made the mistake with the int in Calgary. I honestly don't know where you are getting this idea that Brohm was showing much. Willy in that game was so far ahead of the other 3 it wasn't even funny. . Willy actually had an Oline blocking for him. I'd like to see Marve with the starting OL instead of the pylons he had in Calgary.
