But make him think and he still spins himself into trouble.

See confidence was never fajardos problem. An excess of confidence was. He believed the smoke the rider media blew up his ass. That's why he was such a whiny ***** about struggling. He legit thinks he's a star qb. He's never going to be a smart qb and he's never going to have an arm that scares anyone.

Would you be comfortable having fajardo as your starting qb? Sun shines on every dog's ass now and then. He avoided being terrible in the Grey Cup while collaros was bad. Doesn't mean anyone thinks fajardo is better than collaros. Was one game.

Mods can we get a ban for that photo?

Fajardo plays on the defense now?

because one game does not a career make.

His name is Wade and he's just big boned.

Yeah fajardo still sucks.

Yeah but 160 for teams tonight Brown to be a possible starter? Sorry that is a joke. More likely his number is 100 grand higher than that with some incentives for other metrics.

If he's only getting backup offers he might as well stay here and be the backup in a great situation... the reason he would leave is to be a starter and the comes with a starters pay cheque whether you like it nor not.

What scars are those? Being the best team in the league? The only spin is coming out of Saskatchewan. No-one thinks mace is a poor hire but this notion that Pierce withdrawing had nothing to do and is saving face is ludicrous. Who has to save face more buck Pierce who had all this come up only when rider media started tweeting he was the likely choice or the team who had been turned down by nearly every coach they've approached then last few years... I will believe they went into the process having mace as #1. But I also believe Buck did enough to wow them that sask media started tweeting about him being hired. So when buck is no longer interested It's back to "yeah we always wanted Mace!" Which can be a technical truth... but it ignores the ebbs and flows of the situation. And the situation is another coach told the riders he doesn't want to be in that circus.

You think brown only gets 160k? If that's the case no way we lose him. Sadly for you, you're wrong.

So the way I interpret it is Buck came in and wowed them and they all got a hard on for hiring buck (hence media reports) but Buck wasn't as impressed and withdrew so it was "mace was always the first choice!"

Literally no-one wants to coach there so when someone tells them they actually want to be there they lose their minds.

I see, so Buck just has to save face after no one knew he was a top candidate until rider media started tweeting about how he was their choice but actually they were wrong it was mace all along. Ok got it.

People actually put weight into what that tool says? He doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

They did have a bye week before playing BC...

It's a game of inches, you are viewing fatigue as being too tired to get out there... it can be as simple as that one step slower. Fact is our star players are on the wrong side of 30 and the best this D played was with heavy rotation on the defensive line. Fatigue is absolutely a factor. I don't know what more evidence you need to see.

Retired pretty early (relatively) because of all the injuries I think and then jumped straight into coaching.

Oshea has been the head coach here for a long time and as we all know coaches are hired to be fired.... not saying he should be fired but it'll happen at some point.

But Ballsy said mace was out....

Don't tease me like that...

Actually if you've paid attention I've been on the move on from collaros wagon too, and I've got plenty of criticism for the coordinators and their game plan... you can lose for a variety of reasons you know, and one of the most significant reasons was the piss poor roster usage in the Grey Cup game along with a myriad of other issues. You don't think that the inconsistencies that are showing up in this team ate age related? It's not like guys just all of a sudden fall off a cliff. It's a process that takes a while for them to be totally gone and it's happening right before our eyes whether you want to admit it or not. Kyle walters based on his comments seems to see it thankfully.

And that's the thing, absolutely no one has ever been trying to run oshea out of town. Just wanting the team to not play the game on hard mode when they don't have to.

Sometimes it's not sucking wind, sometimes it's half a step behind the play.
