  1. He hasn't been in a position where he's been able to show anything one way or the other. Why in gods name are we going to throw away all the development that's already happened just because he's had more experienced guys ahead of him in the 1 and 2 slots his entire time here? If the coaches and GM want to make that call it's fine but we as fan can't say **** about what Davis can or can't do simply because we haven't been shown it.
  2. I'm not sure sure, that Toronto team is falling apart in more places than one and I really think that having a pocket passer behind a shoddy OL doesn't help. Lord knows we saw that here, but I think our OL is in a place now where a guy like Ray could resurrect some of his past glory... Or he's done and too injured I dunno.
  3. because spending rarely is done for one year only. You fund a program it's going to run for several years generally. I mean he coulda jacked up the taxes to pay for everything and not run a deficit, is that what people want? Honestly deficit is such a buzz word. Spending during a recession is good.
  4. If no Nichols then Durant or Ray or maybe Glenn
  5. also a factor is that the Bombers have less free agents than a lot of teams.
  6. The ReformaCons put that party before the people in several elections so not comparable at all. If you're going 5o slag Harper at least use the time he mused about using the ndp and bloc in a liberal minority situation
  7. One can argue that stepping into power during a global recession and having to pander to the opposition in minority government situations led to those deficits....
  8. bottom line every player is different and father time catches up to different people at different rates.
  9. Are you turning blue? That's decidedly conservative talk there....
  10. more yelling, less gesturing I would think...
  11. Can be said about any qb and it's a big Lapo problem. Nichols did well for us, I am not sure he's worth paying big big money too though and there were some issues in the west semi final. People often get too blackand white in their thinking about this team. Lots of shades of grey in there.
  12. Burris is too arrogant to retire
  13. Ok then. Qbs don't need healthy shoulders to throw the ball. TIL
  14. A healthy Durant is a better quarterback than either Nichols or Glenn though... only question is, can Durant stay healthy anymore? I think all this arguing is a moo point though, I can't see anyone else in the league valuing Nichols more than the Bombers and why would Nichols himself be in a rush to leave a place where he got an opportunity and had success with it? They'll negotiate and come to a deal that both sides hate but ultimately works for them.
  15. They gotta have something, one thing Netflix does have is exact data about how many people watch each thing in their catalogue so they can tell if things they make are hits or not.
  16. That's what happens when the CFLPA is toothless. They don't want to play ball there's only about a million players down south who could come up and take their jobs and would be happy just to get the chance to do it.
  17. WB is just doing the typical Hollywood thing. Super hero movies are big! Super hero team up movies are even bigger! There's so much money in cross overs and tie ins! MAKE ALL OF THAT! It's a classic case of trying to throw all the hot trends into a movie and expecting it to be good. If they simply focused on making good movies and not trying to hit all the trends they'd be a lot further ahead. Marvel didn't get to just make the avengers, they got to make the avengers by making Iron Man a good movie, and then following that up with another good stand alone movie and once they realized they could make money on these movies they had a plan to bring it all together.
  18. You can also throw names like Sears and Washington and Wild in there too. I get that people want to pretend that Joe Mack was the worst person in the world and he did make mistakes, but when it came to recruiting players from the states he was damned good, but he relied on that entirely and didn't make good coaching choices so the whole thing didn't work.
  19. American talent, yeah they had a lot of that. Canadians and quarterbacks though not so much. Walters wishes he could bring in Americans like Joe Mack did.
  20. what you don't think Mack brought in a pile of american talent for this team? He did that aspect of the job better than Walters has.
  21. He was on three teams but his shoulder was still buggered from his time in Winnipeg, how is this hard to grasp? Injuries shortened his career, not the first player it happened to and certainly won't be the last.
  22. But hey if you're going to lose your starting qb this is probably the offseason to do it in, could be lots of guys who can fill in available. Maybe Durant, Glenn is an option, Maybe pry Franklin out of Edmonton with a good offer, Would a guy trust Travis Lulay in the interm if you can get him free? I dunno seems like the position is in a much stronger place league wide than it has been in quite some time.
  23. That is so ****** up. No one in their right mind is going to a take a job where you don't actually get to do your job.
  24. It's the being fat that was unintentional
  25. what players want and what players get usually winds up being wildly different. I'd be tempted to play some hardball and say "we're not paying you more than BLM cause you ain't no BLM, what are you going to do? Go play in the Montreal gong show?"
