Oh no! Anyway....

I see him getting lots of reps in lots of different places. He might not be a starter but see him doing a lot.

He's shown plenty imo... was one of the best at actually disrupting things... so why he didn't get much playing time who knows... likely because he got a lot of reps at DE when he's not really a DE. Basically it's Booch's whole shtick. Put him in for Thomas and you get way way more from the position.

Ellingson was hurt... but he was a good vet when in and allowed schoen some time. Hard to really say it was terrible, and dresser did good here too. Honestly a lot of the problems we're hearing about are actually lapo problems. Lawler wasn't Lawler until lapo buggered off.

He just seems really bitter and angry about Greg Ellingson for some reason...

Yeah i was just going to bring up that Adams is a much better guy to use as a comparable. He was a seemingly depth signing that turned out well. But like you said, using a guy with injury issues as a comp probably not the best anyway.

Don't you take that tone with me...

Don't feel bad, I've had the wrists slapped for saying things to people that are no worse than has been said to me. Some people are just whiners with soft fee fees

So we're at the point where freisen is the trusted voice?

Far far too many people sadly

Well if it's on social media.......

Well personally I'm hoping for lots of streveler to help carry the load. Though I hoped for that last season and we didn't get it then either.

The time to be bold was last offseason and ship collaros to Ottawa and committed to Dru Brown. At worst their level of play was similar in 2023 (i believe Brown was actually better). Sadly they stuck with the old guy because they weren't interested in the short term risk for long term gain.

He got outplayed by nick arbuckle and Cody fajardo... mcleod bethel Thompson too... why we making excuses for the highest paid qb in the league over that period? You wanna be paid like the best you don't get outplayed by the likes of them.

When you pay your qb that much your depth and star power takes a hit... so you don't get the benefit of excuses. That's why myself and many others said ditch collaros and keep Brown. Frees up cash and gets a similar (better IMO) level of qb play.

Once more for those in the back.... collaros is being paid like a player that should be able to win the big game by himself.

Whoopdeefreakingdoo. Collaros was great in the west final... but that means jack **** when he has been terrible for 3 straight Grey cup games and costs an assload of money.

The Bombers used an American at centre not THAT long ago.... 2000s sometime.

De - fault! De-fault! Collaros started 2023 well, but he fell off a cliff and Brady carried the team

Stamps qb got busted.... thats the real trick in the cfl. You got a qb you got a chance to be good, you don't have a qb you're toast.

Last 2 seasons it was Brady dragged the offense not collaros.

Rosters always look weaker when you lose players to free agency and they don't get replaced by other free agents. Bottom line this teams improvements will come mainly from young players improving and new recruits stepping up. Free agency is headline grabbing and can be used to bolster some areas of need, but to maintain a winning team you must be able to replace people through your recruiting/drafting.

Cause collaros was oh so helpful the last 3 grey cup games....

No I didn't...

I'm so old socks and underwear are all I really want for Christmas...
