probably young and feeling invincible.

BC was awfully proud of themselves after last week, totally different body language tonight. Tonight the Bombers sent a message and that message was "you sure you want to come back here in a couple weeks?" They have no answer for Collaros, the OL was bullying them, Oliveira was not stopped, the dbs got back to laying the wood on receivers, DL pressured qbs. special teams tightened up. That was the Bombers team we know.

Collaros goes in for 2 series, does enough to beat the ***** cats.

On that contract, not on a new contract

An option year it just that, it's an option (by the team in this case) to have that player for the 3rd year at a known cost. But nowhere does it say a new contract can't be drawn up which renders the option year moot.

The season doesn't start until labour day... but also Rourke is the next Flutie!

Yeah he absolutely can. You got media talking about giving him year end awards for half a seasons work (in the summer no less). That is definitely overrated. The way some people talk about him you'd think he was bigger than Jesus. Over rated. But still a good qb.

Because Mike oshea likes to bullshit the media.

Especially ones so seemingly desperate for success like BC. Honestly I hope someone on our DL absolutely buries Rourke within the rules the first time he drops back to pass.

He can be a good qb worthy of an NFL look and massive raise and still be over rated you know. But again, don't cut yourself on all that edge you're posting with.

Won't somebody please think of the shareholders!!!!

Reading comprehension really isn't your strong suit eh? Nothing in what you posted says they need to do the third year as an option.

Jesus christ it's in the name of the ******* deal... OPTION. As in club has the option of making the deal a 3rd year with the above terms. Nothing says they have to exercise that option.

It's not just about old vs. Young. Also have to consider the position and relative importance to a team. Reality is that qbs are a hell of a lot harder to replace than receivers are and quarterbacks mean so much more to a team. I don't want winnipeg playing games with Collaros health, but a guy like Ellingson? Ehhhh big deal. Bc should be treating Rourke very carefully because he is that important to them not only on the field but as part of their brand rebuilding.

Boy did you just sum up your entire philosophy there.... You need context with everything because it is a bad look for a team to gamble with their young franchise player with his entire career ahead of him... while it's not nearly such a bad look for an old receiver to gamble coming back because he's nearly done anyway.

It's 2 years plus an option. "No we're not picking up the option, but hey here's a new multi-year deal as your 2nd contract". Pretty standard stuff really.

Yeah and that doesn't really say what you think it does... if they just do an option year sure, but they would be doing a new contract which would not have those limitations, and even the doesn't look to me like there are limits to anything other than base salary...

Yeah putin seriously overplayed his hand here. Why would countries go back to an unreliable source now?

Couldn't remember his name but Edwards was a legit reporter who gave that place credibility. Now it's just fanboi bloggers playing at being reporters

Part of looking at all sides is looking at the source. Which is what makes you a fool if you actually believe the crap you're posting. More likely you are just following the bad faith playbook so many use.

Would be curious to see who the team would nominate anyway....

Collaros ain't coming back from a half season off. And if he was hurt to the point he couldn't play a full game he wouldn't even dress.

Question is, did they bring ellingson back early or is he just old and fragile?

So he will start... but Vaj will still play more... so then basically it is just a PR scam eh.

An aging receiver is entirely different than a young star qb. Entirely different. Hell any qb is different than an aging receiver
