I still believe in Collaros because we saw flashes of it last year, even without his best weapon and a worse than lackluster OL. Yes, maybe he's making too much money to need that much help, but with that aside, I think he can still be the best QB in the league when he's got protection, an RB and some decent receivers. We're not that far removed from 2022/2023 where he was the undisputed best QB in the league.

This is just an absolutely wild take. Not even sure where to begin. I mean, first off, I live part time during the year in Fort Garry, which I absolutely adore. So no "rose coloured memories" required. And you can say what you want about the city, proper, but even living just outside the city in Oak Bluff (or similar) is fabulous for the rich athletes (Buff and Doug Brown, just to name a couple...) that can afford it. Then this take about having too many "undesirables" is just gross to even say out loud. Now, as far as comparing Winnipeg to other markets... Winnipeg is probably most similar to Edmonton, which used to be way up there on these types of lists. Now, Edmonton is nowhere to be found. They built up the organization to the point where players actively want to be there (Connor and Leon help), and there's no reason the Jets can't do likewise. tl/Dr - Negative impressions of the city are ignorance on the part of young players who just don't know b cause they haven't really experienced it.

Or the Big Green Bastard from Sunnyvale.....

I have this image in my head of a little kid waking down a gravel road.... hands in his pockets, kicking rocks down the road, tears in his eyes and snot running down his nose... "...stupid O'Shea...."

And also, if we can bump the number then the other teams are going to bump THEIR number. Regardless of what the overall pot is at, it's all about percentages of that pot. So, if we said we'd bump 10% above what Ham offered Woogie, then I'm sure Ham is willing to also bump 10% beyond that...

It's just ignorance.... If you've never lived it, then you can't possibly know how great it is. There is no other place I'd rather live right now.

This is my only "concern". Lawler I'm fine with... Dobson too... But if there was all of a sudden a chance to bring him home......

O'Shea told Friesen today that they didn't know until today. I'm legit curious if some of the Deals In Principle will change because of this information.

I can't remember which thread were talking about this in, but.......

I think too many assumptions here about what goes on between The Trinity. We know that Osh and Walters have been close friends for many many years and we know that Wade is often in on personnel conversations, but the extent of each piece of that puzzle... We really don't know.

One of my favourite Grisham books... Read that once a year.

I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying......

Former Bomber...

From what little I've read online from Als fans, RWJ wasn't the same after his injury and lost his starters spot. TBD if he can return to form.

We did the exact same thing... Fille out the form, and absolutely squat. Told us they didn't have to because ________.... Bunch of assholes. But there's no competition in this country so what can anybody do?

I've said for about a year now that right in the middle of them is the right spot to be...

Oh boy......

I have full faith that Walters is still going to make his move yet. Let everyone blow their wad early on shiny objects and he'll still come out a winner in the end. A bunch of under the radar signings that, when it's all said and done, look pretty damn good.

As we've been talking about ad nauseum for months now.....

Did we bring BOO back??

Winnipeg is a classic rock town... Def Lep should do well. And the 20-somethings who listen to QX104 (Winnipeg's top rated FM stick) will go nuts for the Aldean show. The mid week thing definitely sucks but I think they'll do alright.

Tait on Paterson's podcast today says OC announcement is coming later this week and that "it probably won't surprise anyone" for what that's worth...
