That's ridiculous! What's wrong about not wanting to make a guy GM who has half a season as an AGM and half a season as an interm GM? The comment was in 5-10 years...what part of ridiculous don't you get? He's with us for the rest of the year, but we have people saying he will never make a good GM, and some saying only in 5-10 years like they really know that. Not! I say give the guy a break. You keep harping about giving Walters a break. Have you not clued into the fact that's all the Bombers do but give their buddies a break by hiring them? Why do you think we keep losing? Because we hire inexperienced people into key coaching & management positions who think they know what they are doing but don't. And because they come cheap. Or are a friend of someone on the team like a coach or Board member so they get hired. Our track record is hiring the friend of so & so. And the result is hiring inexperienced peopleis they come in on the cheap coming in & are expensive on the way out as we are paying them to sit around teiddling their thumbs after they're fired. Mike Kelly was buds with Lyle Bauer. Joe Mack was friends with Joe Pop & Paul Robson & look what happened? The hiring process was all about who you knew & not what you knew. Most fans don't want Walters as our GM because he is inexperienced. Not because they don't like him or don't think he has a future with the team. They want someone with a winning track record at the helm for a change because the Bombers have shown in the past, rookies in that position don't work. Yeah, 5-10 years when Walters has the proper experience working under someone who knows how to win. Not apprenticed for 6 months by Joe Mack. There's been personnel guys & assistant GMs in this league who have worked under people for a lot longer with success than 5-10 years. I'm totally clued in to your negative attitude about EVERYTHING! That's the only argument you have??? You have no other comeback. Nice discussion on your part. The only comeback you have is I'm negative. Well, wash, rinse, repeat. Boo freaking hoo. Well, hit the ignore button then. Since all you want to do is get insulting because you've got nothing else to say well ... Can't help it if you make stupid comments. Nothing to discuss with you....you make ridiculous comments that it will take 5 to 10 years for our acting GM to amount ot anything. It's shouldn't be insulting when it's the truth. Truth hurts doesn't it? No, talking to you does Kyle. Again, you have no comeback. You can't even argue your point. Do me a favor hit the ignore button. Kyle???? I don't have to argue my point...I just said give the guy a break and let him develop....you're the one who said he wouldn't for 5 to 10 years like you really know that. Your shtick is that you just spout off without thinking what you're really saying. Ignore yourself! Again, why should we give the guy the job with a half year's experience? I don't want to "develop"a new GM. I don't want a guy with zero experience learning on the job. So spell it out for me Sherlock. Tell me & everyone else why he should be kept on as the permanent GM. I've told you why he shouldn't. I told you how long he should wait to get experience & I stand by that. I don't think spending a few years under someone with a winning pedigree is a bad thing. And I know others feel like I do. Tell us exactly what Walter's done as the interim GM to be given the job permanently.

Specifically in the secondary. And a new DC.

So what about all the guys that signed extensions with the Bombers during his regime? Were all of them idiots? Some of them could've tested the market and possibly even made more money at the time, but chose to sign here. It goes both ways. All I'm saying is that it wasn't complete ineptitude. We were terrible more than we were good, but a team doesn't start off a season 7-1 and eventually make it to the Grey Cup game with the kind of behind-the-scenes chaos some are implying was happening. Yes, there was some weird decisions and even many bad ones, but it's really convenient to be able to come out with all this stuff when the other side can't (and probably won't bother to) defend themselves. Talk to Irving. he was the one who said that the Bombers can't let players like LaBatte get away. He's a lot closer to the team than us & probably has more knowledge about what happened than we do.

I guess we'll never know the real story. There seemed to be a pattern with Mack. Players we had or could've had either left or wouldn't come here under his watch. Can only hope that things have changed now. Guess we'll see this off season.

Irving said that he thinks the Bombers didn't do enough to keep him. Basically they didn't offer him enough money, don't make him play center & do whatever it takes to get his name on a new contract. I think that is what Irving was talking about.

How many picks? I say 4.

Just listened to Bob Irving's interview with Brendan Labatte & the feeling by Irving th\t Mack didn't do enough to sign him & that LaPo wanted to convert him to center. Just angers me to know that complete utter & total incompetence contributed in losing this guy.

Carteri is the colour analyst for Rider games, right? Just as long as it's not that ass clown Pederson.

I wish Goltz all the luck today. Man, is he gonna need it to come out of this game intact.

I shoulda put a winky smiley after what I said because I wasn't serious. I'll do it now.

My heart says we... ah forget it.

Simon doesn't strike me as a guy who is going to get up in the locker room demanding accountability. He just doesn't seem to be that kind of guy. I could be wrong. What do you think 17to85?

Why not go after Tom Clements? He's a Bomber alumni.

I think there's no doubt Ottawa will get finished in time as they still have 10 months & the grandstands are for the most part up. But Hamilton? Jeez, I dunno. They look behind schedule not from a construction POV but from the fact Bob Young & the City of Hamilton wasted so much time. They were behind schedule even before the first backhoe dug into the ground.

I agree. When we finished 6-12 last year we kept hearing from fans who said while our record was poor we had great Canadian talent because Mack drafted so well. Where??

Ray had the shits of an o-line in Edmonton and did OK too you know. True & he's been banged up more than once on that same shoulder. He separated &/or dislocated his throwing shoulder a couple of years back as I recall.

Starts & ends with their offensive line just like us. Difference being they have a lot more talent than the Bombers at the skill positions on offense & a much better linebacking & secondary than we do. I was wondering if they don't miss that veteran presence that Geroy brought regardless of him slowing down in ability. There are plenty of veterans in that locker room. They just don't dominate up front like they used to. That Matthews kid was cut yesterday in the NFL so he'll help if he doesn't sign with another NFL team & returns. Once Kirby Fabien gets back next year they should be better on the OL than they are now with a lot of aging vets who've seen better days.

Yeah, Mike Reilly is the qb & Mike Riley is the head coach just to clarify. Eastern Washington isn't a D2 school but D1 FCS. So, while it is an upset, it's not one for the ages. Friday night, Kansas State the Big 10 Champion lost to North Dakota State another D1 FCS team so it happens. And he ain't coming back even if he's fired. We can't afford him.

I think Ray would have been dead in the water here with our offensive line. Ray can't make plays with his legs or get away from the rush. So, a qb like Hank would probably find more success. And I'm using Hank as an example. Not saying Mack should have gone out & traded for him.

That's ridiculous! What's wrong about not wanting to make a guy GM who has half a season as an AGM and half a season as an interm GM? Don't upset him, rebus. He can't take negative criticism well. Butterflies & cute little birds are the order of the day for blitzmore.

Yup...you never disappoint with your always negative attitude! Ha, ha. That's too funny. I'll try not to offend your obvious sensibilities. Hug???
