  1. There’s a bunch. Corney would have to actually be able to play football for us to know how good he is.
  2. There’s a whole offseason to play out and a strong likelihood many of the players you mentioned won’t be Bombers next season. My thought is that I would retain Loffler into low six figures, Max $130,000. Even that’s kind of high for the entirety of what he provided the past two seasons, in more than half our games he was a non-factor and not in a good way. The alternatives are going all import on D or using one or more of our early picks (we have a pick in each round and BC’s first rounder) to add some guys who could be role players on D, likely in the secondary or DL rotation. We could also add guys who can be role players on O, go to starting 3 NI receivers or 4 NI OL. Starting 4 NI playmakers on O leaves us thin, especially if Harris had a long term injury. There are players in the draft and free agency that could provide better value to our overall roster than Loffler does if his ask creeps above something reasonable. We also have good NI depth without him on our current roster.
  3. I think we'll have better options than Augustine in the draft and free agency. He's extremely one-dimensional.
  4. They don't need Demski. There's Petermann, Simonise, other free agents and all their draft picks with an extra first rounder. I think Demski only comes back if he takes a pay cut.
  5. Maybe it's more than a coincidence that those teams have (or have had) great QB's. Who did Toronto find at receiver? Montreal? Sask? BC? Really it's Calgary, Edmonton and Hamilton who you're talking about.
  6. Lapolice ran the offense when he was the head coach so it's obviously relevant.
  7. Masoli is by far the most overrated QB.
  8. What does this even mean? Sask was fine when he came here. They played in the Grey Cup that year. When Mack fired him in 2012 they replaced him with Tim Burke. That has nothing to do with Lapolice. Maybe he would have squeezed another win or two out of Alex Brink and Justin Goltz in 2013, but that team was awful and it was constructed by Mack, developed by Lapolice and his coaching staff. Joe Mack being a moron and Tim Burke being useless makes Paul Lapolice a great coach? Lapolice continues to build inconsistent offenses. Inconsistent first down production, inconsistent 2nd down conversions, struggles for long stretches to produce first downs, struggles to score touchdowns, huge reliance on one of the greatest defenses at turning the ball over in CFL history. Scoring 5-6 TD's in a few games but not being able to score more than 1 in others is no good when it comes to winning games. Better be scoring 3-4 or the equivalent in field goals every week.
  9. As long as Hervey doesn't screw up again. I don't think Bighill really wanted to play anywhere other than BC, just that Hervey was too dumb to find a way to fit him in. Who knows though, they have a lot of linebackers and seem to want to make Herdman into a player.
  10. Realistically if Nichols is going to be a productive QB moving forward with limited mobility he needs to work on speeding up his reads, relying more on pre-snap and speeding up his release, preparing to beat a blitz/solid pass rush. Lapo did not help this problem either. We run the slowest developing plays.
  11. Can Nichols pass? I don’t know. It’s insane to me to start every season knowing that our quarterback is a limiting factor on the potential of our team, knowing that in the big game he can’t get it done if he has to, that we need 200 yards rushing and a crazy game by our defense to win anything. That’s where this team is. We’re basically hoping the team can carry the mediocre QB and that he doesn’t try to do too much and lose the game for us. I don’t want to pay 450k for that level of quarterbacking. Nichols had one 300 yard passing game in a passing league this season. I’ll give him credit for stepping up in the Calgary game in Winnipeg but other than that he was playing not to lose and we were hoping Harris would do enough and our D could get our offense started in position to score.
  12. It’s more like quitting a job that can’t pay your bills and taking a job that doesn’t pay your bills immediately but has potential for large bonuses.
  13. The best thing I can say about Nichols playoffs is that he didn’t turn the ball over. We don’t win in Regina without Streveler and we had no offense in Calgary. Nichols did very little to affect the outcome positively in either game. All season our offense was hugely reliant on the defense turning the ball over and creating great field position for them to score touchdowns. They had a terrible time putting together drives. I’d offer Nichols an incentive-laden contract mostly based on number of starts. If he refuses, cut him. Nichols will not get any better, he’s lost a lot of mobility and doesn’t have the poise or arm to make up for it.
  14. Lapo is the one who determines how much Streveler plays, and how many reps he gets in practice.
  15. The limits Nichols puts on our offense makes everyone elses job exponentially more difficult.
  16. Lapo should have been fired after the Sask games. He's been terrible for the last 2/3 of this season. Defense stepped up in a big way and saved the season.
  17. And eventually you'll play a team with a QB. BLM didn't even break a sweat today and threw 3 TD's. He played like ****. Still puts up points.
  18. Brandon Bridge probably would have scored a TD today. Pathetic offensive effort all the way around. Horrible plan and brutal execution.
  19. 3 quarters of the game Calgary's O did nothing. Outside of one 40 yard drive our O did nothing for 4 quarters.
  20. Can't waste downs now. No throw aways. How did we end up with such a passive offense?
