Like I said, easy signings. And there's nothing wrong with that. Again, if Wilson somehow manages to stay healthy he's a great guy to have on the roster. You just have this "it's all awful unless they sign the young physical specimens I like" mentality.

Wilson when healthy is a good player. Of course he's rarely healthy. I don't mind bringing him back but you need a body behind him for when the inevitable injury happens. Gauthier is a teams contributer, you still need those guys. Orrrrrrrrrrr they're just easy signings

No one is talking about cutting Lawler, it's a hypothetical discussion about picking between Lawler or Schoen.

Yeah well I said onfield reason for a reason.... cause we've all heard enough finger pointing at oshea all offseason.

The only eye roll is for a guy like you to think that the only valid defense is one built around pressure. Now full disclosure I prefer that style too... but I'm not so pig heatedly stubborn as to ignore that the way this defense played was different but still highly effective. To suggest it wasn't is pure pants on head ********.

Is it wrong though? Guy hasn't been as consistent as he was when he set the bar... there can be a variety of reasons for that but facts are he hasn't given the level you expect game in and game out since his return. Does it mean he's washed up? He'll no, just that at this point he isn't the player he was. He may be again, or he may not be.

In a heart beat. Lawler has not been the same guy that set the bar a few years ago.

All this stuff is just excuses... fact is they opted to play an injured player rather than give a healthy player the chance. They need to own that decision as a coaching staff.

As far as onfield reasons, collaros lost them that game. Wilson couldn't have done any worse but at least you're giving the team a chance.

Realistically the worst thing a backup qb is going to do is throw a bunch of interceptions... but maybe he has enough of a spark he makes a couple plays and avoids those turnovers.... collaros wasn't exactly having a strong game before he got hurt and honestly what's the best you can expect from collaros with a sliced open, stitched up frozen index finger on his throwing hand? Dude was too injured to play and should have been sat down. Watching him throw on the sidelines immediately after he came back out there is no way he should have been put back in. Wilson may not have won the game... but at least he could still throw.

Is the secondary not part of the D?

And yet our D was ******* good all season long... there's more than one way to build a good defense. Quite frankly the problems or this team is that for allllllll the money they spend on O it was **** for most of the season. Point fingers there not the D because the D was the only reason last years team did anything.

The offense has been **** the past 3 grey cups. But big changes to the offense regardless this offseason so see what happens.

Parker would be a nice piece to slot in should they lose Ford.

I wanna say nasty nate is the one to credit Plop to for Lapolice and the white zombie Jim Daley...

Because age and cost is going to force the GMs hand. I mean it's unheard of the amount of continuity this team has already had since 2019... now that the shine has worn off somewhat changes are inevitable.

"If you're not first you're last" Is the mentality some here have.

Hey I may be bitter and old but..m wait what was the third thing?

The other aspect is that sometimes venting and grumbling is just that... as an example I'll go ***** about my workplace but I'm still overall happy here and no real designs on leaving. Point? None I guess, just that context is everything and we all apply our own biases to all the information we are presented with.

Which we as bomber fans can point to several times during the drought....

I think some of this is overblown to be honest. There's a couple guys need to be shown the door because time has passed them by but some of the young guys people ***** and moan about were hardly guarantees anyway. It's really not the big deal a select few have made it seem.

My perspective is that WJ would need to be ready to just leave in order to not come back. What's he going to get from another team that he can't get here? Money? Bombers have as much or more incentive to pay him big bucks... chance at a cup? Well 5 straight appearances his chances here seem as good as anywhere... so why is he leaving? Unless he's come down with O'Shea derangement syndrome like certain people around here have...

I don't see how anyone values WJ more than Winnipeg does anyway.

If someone wants to break the bank on an aging Jefferson have at er....

Honestly given the track record this team has DB is the last place I worry about losing guys. It's been star after star this management group has brought in at that position.
