Bonds was ******* good at db, Wilson did get 1000 yards as a rookie... which is not bad when you consider how many roles actually ever go to raw rookies in the league.

I view it somewhat differently... I mean during the years Lyle Bauer was here we had some successful seasons but the failure in bringing home the championship kept leading to change, which kept causing setbacks organizationaly which led to a huge hole to dig out from. I'm not so linear in thinking that if you're not first your last. There's a lot of context surrounding any seasons result. 3 straight Grey cup losses... they do show some areas to adjust for sure, but we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Shame that Wilson is made of glass cause God he could be a good player when healthy.

When I say constant criticism I'm not talking about criticism of the whole thing, I'm talking the over the top criticism of the same thing in every context. I disagree with the assessment of the defense getting walked over. Football is a team sport, your offense needs to do something to win a championship because eventually the D in the CFL will give up something. 3 years the offense has been a bag of ****. Injuries, play calls, players not executing... what ever the reason that's why they lost 3 straight. Even a pedestrian offensive effort likely wins some of those games (maybe all).

If this were really true why even have the regular season? Yes ultimately the championship is the main goal, but you don't get the chance without regular season results. You know that I don't blindly support every move this team makes with their roster choices, and you know I think you've got some good insights and are generally a knowledgeable voice.... however you are completely off the deep end in your constant criticism of the whole thing. You have strong opinions about the kind of player you like... but that's just one opinion, there's lots of things that can make a good player. Does this group get everything right? Nope not at all, but they do get a lot right as evidenced by the fact they have all this regular season success and have made 5 straight championship games. Honestly biggest step now IMO is figuring out why the offense has turned into a giant pile of useless in 3 straight Grey cups and change that.

Of the "names" potentially available he would be at the top of my list. Feel like he tends to have under rated offenses

He was probably an easy signing.

Every team brings guys like that to camp, it's the keeping and playing that was the issue.

Everyone was new at their role at some point. Just make sure the people doing the hiring can recognize the qualities in a candidate that will make them successful.

A raw rookie could end up being better... just saying you ain't getting one of the real established top quality OCs here... who are those guys even?

And who are those guys? Like seriously which OC doesn't have risk attached to them?

I don't know that we should be immediately unhappy with an internal hire. None of us really know how good or bad an internal hire would be. I just hope they do some sort of search.

When lapo is your oc you better have an ace kicking game

I could see it too, too bad for them the grey cup isn't awarded in the summer.

The reason would be his "success" with Rourke i guess. But yeah for me I'd be going Buck 100%

There was a difference and that's the sad part because Jones wasn't a world beater. Just that bighill has fallen off a cliff

Dude should have rightly been the grey cup MOP. Was a complete force for the argos all game long.

The whole list "hey! I've heard of him he must be good!"

Lol!

Dickenson as GM is just a bad fit. Think he’s a very good coach but as a GM not so much.

If you're not screaming it is it really straight fire?

That is an underwhelming list...

Been wondering that for 2 seasons now, no answers. They seem to not want to make that move.

Was going to ask you gents about your thoughts on Dobson at C. I know they've tried him there in preseason a bit... honestly I'd give serious consideration to 3 Americans on the OL.

I thought neufeld played pretty well in the playoffs...
