Would John Lennon approve of this post?

I'll give Goltz a chance. I'm not happy with his play but he's the guy they've now chosen to roll with so good luck to him. Let's see if he improves..

So, expect the defense to play lights out for 4 quarters while your qb shits the bed?? Great strategy.

And if your team is up by __ points at the half, what then? If the starting QB has under 50 yards passing, I'd still pull him, because he'd be playing badly. The score isn't always a good indicator of how well the QB is playing. Exactly. Great point.

Yeah, agreed. Losing guys after investing the time & money in them after just 3 seasons needs to be changed. If a team wants a young guy then the team that loses that player must be compensated. Every other league does that except the CFL.

A lot will depend if he thinks the team is on the right track to win a championship in the next 2 to 5 years. With Mack, there was no hope.

I stand by the fact I think Goltz is a terrible passer. I don't care if he can run. He's also getting into his mid to late 20's. If he hasn't learned proper mechanics by now he never will. Guys that run have a short shelf life because they get injured. It'll be his brain, his arm & then his athleticism that determines how long he plays or even develops in the future.

Parenteau is too old and his veteran experience is meaningless - Joe Mack. LOL!!! Wait, why am I laughing???? Oh crap....

I was thinking about Kyle Walters this afternoon. The one advantage of hiring Walters is that he knows the Bomber organization & the needs of the team now so that would probably outweigh his inexperience as he would have a clear plan of attack to fix things as he seems to have. He wouldn't need to evaluate needs as he already knows the problems the team is having. Having another inexperienced guy come in from another team who doesn't know the Bombers & would have to get up to speed would be disruptive. So, this hire may work. As long as there is a head coaching change & the guy who replaces Burke is a solid choice.... The other advantage is he worked under a completely useless General Manager & saw how not to do things.

If Henoc leaves nothing you can do about it if Walters did everything he could do to sign him. As long as the Bombers are as aggressive as other teams & really tries to keep him, I'm okay with whatever happens. You have to move on. Then it becomes what does he do in trades or free agency to make up for it.

really? You think he's bad at reading defenses? I don't see that, I don't see a lot of bad decisions passing the ball out of him. Maybe it doesn't always work but that has a lot to do with some of the other issues on the team. I can think specifically of a ball that went straight through Edwards hands at a first down marker, I can think of a ball that bounced off Kohlerts chest close to a first down marker... I think his limitations as a passer are somewhat overblown by some people. I think the overall package that Goltz brings is superior to Hall right now simply because opposing teams have to defend more aspects. No matter who goes in the passing game we have won't beat anyone, Goltz legs might open things up enough though to scratch out a win. 2 of 9 at halftime for 12 yards tells me that he can't read defenses. Those drops you speak of were made up later by a couple of circus catches by his receivers in the second half that never should have been completed.

My thought is, Hall started the 2nd Hamilton game because they wanted to see more, but he got hurt. Has Goltz done anything the past 2 weeks to say he is better than Hall, or deserves more of a look? I don't believe that he has. What potential does Hall have though? I think you can work with Goltz to possibly become a passer, because he can make all the throws, and he's a threat with the read option. Hall is going to have the entire defence sitting on the LOS daring him to make throws, his arm isn't great, and we won't be able to run the ball. I don't think Hall has much potential and he limits the offence. This is why it should be Goltz. His ability to move around adds another dimension to the offense. The rest of the offense is not good enough or consistent enough to have to win it entirely with a quarterbacks arm, at least Goltz gives us the option of making something happen with his legs if we need it. But if Goltz can't pass then in the long run his legs won't help us. Otherwise teams would just put a running back at qb & go from there if it was just about running from that position. The more I watch Goltz the more apparent it is he can't read defenses & make the right decisions when passing. The Rider MLB kept overrunning the play at IGF which is why Goltz had the room he had to run yesterday. Don't expect that to happen every game. Eventually teams will take away Goltz's running ability on first & 10 or second & long the longer he plays & runs the ball himself. Then he'll have to try to win the game with his arm which is what defenses will want him to do.

I assume Reebok will fix the mistake.

History has shown that running qbs that could not pass didn't have long futures in the CFL. Now running qbs that could throw, yeah, that's special. Goltz can run but eventually he'll need to throw effectively to win long term & from what I've seen, it won't happen.

So, if a co worker got fired would you go on his twitter account & start trashing him because he's gone & you just want to have some fun? I think it goes a little deeper than that. Having said that, totally classless tweet by Arceneaux. if he is kicking Elliott to the curb when he's down then I hope someone does the same thing to him when he's out of the game.

It looked pretty stupid yesterday. Way to go Reebok.

As our short yardage qb sure but not as our starter.

The best case scenario is Parenteau comes in here & starts. The worst case scenario is he is a depth player on the OL & probably better than most guys there now. Getting something for Woodson is a good move as he wasn't playing here anyway.

Do the proper dilligence & hire the best guy available. I stick to that premise & won't change.

Suber had a very good game. We all disagree with J5V so why not just leave it at that? I think he gets the message.

A link to a time when we used to win? Some organnizations don't like that.

Pressure on a qb always helps the secondary. It's a football basic. So, your argument makes no sense.

Alright, I'll give him till tomorrow. Oh, 2 minutes.

Wally got rid of Buck & now wants him back. How weird is that?
