Kevin Glenn tweet re. Ottawa and free agents
17to85 replied to Mr. Perfect's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
This whole "I wuz hacked!!11!!" thing needs to stop. Having someone grab your phone and posting something is not hacking, leaving your **** open on a computer is not being hacked, saving your password in your browser for someone else to use is not hacking. Use the language properly. What they mean to say is "I'm a ***** and people are messing with me" or Glenn just ****** up trying to send private messages, that's the one that makes sense. -
Toronto games might be worth watching this year.

Moore may not be as much of a sure thing as you are painting it. He's still a bit of a risk, but it's a potential high reward that Walters obviously feels comfortable taking. It's entirely possible that last season for Moore was an aberration, but it might also be that he's just breaking out and the Bombers scooped him up at the right time. Which it is remains to be seen and they paid quite a bit of money to find out. If it works out no one will complain and they'll praise Walters for a shrewd move, if it doesn't pan out it'll be an overpay for an american receiver that you can find anywhere. We all hope it's the first option not the second one.

A lot of the crazier Christian denominations though actually believe that the Bible is 100% word of God truth. They're ridiculous of course but that's what a lot of the fundies believe which is why they come up with all sorts of this nonsense. It's all quite ironic that they preach such intolerance because it's the most unchristian stance available. Christ was all about loving everyone no matter what and not judging anyone.

It's an interesting thought on Moore. The Bombers obviously think he is a break out star and worth going forward with, be interesting to see if he is or not.

Denmark turned the corner last year when he was moved to slot, didn't he? Denmark was the 2nd best rookie to Chris Williams in his first year then he started to suck until Gary Crowton was fired at which point he started to look good again... So to me Denmark was hampered by a poor OC moreso than anything. I think he will surprise some people this year.

careful you're going to start a giant rant

Yes it is. Both comments show ignorance and are uncalled for. That's like someone calling a homosexual a "fruit" while another calls that person a "****". The words don't matter, it's the message behind them does. edit: European cigarettes!! They're not the same. Yeah they're both ignorant but one sounds like a joke while the other is straight up intolerance. I got no problem with ignorant jokes because you gotta be able to laugh. Yeah you shouldn't be putting them on twitter but still a joke is pretty harmless compared to denouncing someone for being gay.

Followed quickly by "he was never that good anyway" If he re-signed with a whopper raise ? "worth every penny" one of the most under rated players in the league.

Fans admitting to over reacting? I'll take the odds of the Oilers making a late run towards the playoffs instead. They're only 17 points back and are something like 4-1-1 in their last 6, so you're saying there's a chance.....

Kevin Glenn tweet re. Ottawa and free agents

but why would he even try to send a picture of desjardins to anyone? -
So all those people who screamed bloody murder about the bombers leaving Dough Alert unprotected want to step forward now and admit that they over reacted?

Kevin Glenn tweet re. Ottawa and free agents

the only useful tweet I've seen from Wiecek so far today has been talking about Eve Muirhead scoring a 7 ender in the olympics. -
Hey last year the Bombers made a splash signing a young NI starting safety...

Yeah that's the saddest part about Burkes reign as head coach, he was a worse head coach than Jim Daley. That's pretty spectacular in it's own way.

I'd take Glenn, but only for a very big discount price in trade. Don't give up anything big to Ottawa. After their bitching about who was available from the Bombers and then thinking Glenn can become something good for them I just want to see them sitting on this self created problem.

O'Shea names Drew Willy Bombers starting QB
17to85 replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
would you even read the answer though? your track record on these things is pretty shaky. Sometimes I don't read everything you type because you've been wrong so often and your obnoxious too. My track record? I'll put mine against yours any day. Lets review. I was against Mack in his last two seasons. Against the Jade and the Pencer draft picks. Wanted Laurent instead of Kito because we needed a DT more than yet another young receiver. Your track record is exactly the opposite. Loved Mack. Argued with anyone who didn't like the Jade or the Pencer draft picks. I can't remember if you wanted Kito or not, but I'm going to guess you supported that move too cuz you loved everything the great and powerful Mack did. Well you once again proved that reading isn't your strong point, but here's the point you're missing, I didn't have a horse in the Laurent or Poblah race because unlike you I am not so arrogant as to even attempt to rate players I haven't seen play. Same goes for draft picks. I don't start judging players until I've seen them play, it is the only thing that matters. But again, that's not what I was talking about here, I was talking about how you don't read before you start talking. -

Everyone can play this game, we've all been right and we've all been wrong. Never mind that I was talking about his track record of not actually reading what is written before he spouts off, so it's really a great post because it so fully proves exactly what I'm saying. -
did you just compare Getzlaf to two of the best receivers to ever play in the league? Nope. Just making the point that players can still be at their best in their 30s. There are plenty of good receivers who can dominate in their 30s. Those two just came to mind first. It's funny that Noeller likes all your posts. Guess you two are BFFs. Great players can be productive into their 30s, but it's rare that receivers can dominate in their 30s. Now being a NI yes Getzlaf is quite likely to play well into his 30s, but if you expect him to maintain a high level the whole way....

O'Shea names Drew Willy Bombers starting QB

Because they were obviously thinking they could turn around and turn Glenn into viable assets. I dunno.. If the bombers or any other team were in their position, would they not draft the BEST unprotected QB they could to Guarantee they have at least one suitable starting QB? Then grabbing another future HOF QB in FA only maked them that much more secure at QB?? I'm not sure i buy that they drafted Glenn in order to trade him.. or that they signed Burris just so they could use Glenn as trade bait. Maybe they did, but is seems like the least likely situation. My guess is that they go into camp with all three QBs and see who produces the most with whatever system they run. One only has to look at our QB situation the last 5 years to realize that if you don't have a CFL quality starting QB your record is gonna be pretty shitty. it's not that they drafted Glenn with the intention of getting Burris and flipping Glenn, it's that when they started to pursue Burris they felt they could do it. Now they're paying 2 starting qbs, one who is angry to not be the starter and one who hates when someone else is breathing down his neck. The Bombers being the only other team that needed a starting qb coming out and saying "yeah we're sticking with willy" is a big FU to Ottawa cause now they've got their qb controversy and they haven't even hit training camp yet. Not sure Ottawa Cares.. They can just CUt Glenn if they want to and its no skin off their back.. Maybe after signing Burris they thought about possibly gettings something for glen via a trade (but what GM wouldn't). Sounds like sour grapes from up bomber fans.. And i wanted Burris.. But i'm not the slightest bit angry or upset with Ottawa.. Naming Willy the starter before training camp is kinda silly and childish if its just to say FU to ottawa. Especially since Willy is unproven and will most likely upset Hall / backup QBs. its really inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.. you don't want to cut glenn though because taking Glenn let Calgary protect more NIs, and wouldn't they have been better off taking one of those NIs than Glenn knowing how things worked out? If they can't turn Glenn into anything then yeah they got qb depth, but they got potential issues with a qb controversy and being an expansion team overall quality and depth will be an issue so they kind of need more variety of assets rather than just depth at one position. You're making the assumption that they knew Burris would be available and that they picked Glenn anyway. That's simply not the case. They could have guessed the Burris was going to be available, and not picked Glenn, but if it turned out they were wrong, they wouldn't have a starting QB. Makes more sense to pick Glenn so they know they have a starting QB and play the Burris card later if it comes up. Reading comprehension is your friend! the bolded is the relevant part, go re-read it then get back to us.
