is it? In the CFL where we have seen some of the worst QBs to ever put on cleats, get opportunities to start, let alone ride the bench? What's incredible is that he keeps getting signed. Its not like hes beating out Reilly or Nichols for those starts either.. he gets the job due to the inability for anyone else to come in and play mediocre lol. He a career journey man #2 who has had the luck to put it together for a few seasons before regressing back to his usual level of play.. Did Glenn ever really even dominate though? He had a few really good seasons on some solid teams but never really dominated imo. He isn't a QB who can put a team on his shoulders and carry them to the win.. I think it speaks to his smarts when it comes to signing a contract.. I think it speaks to knowing when to take the bench as an option when you see the trash ahead of you lol. Hes been pretty lucky, you have to admit.. he hasn't really been forced to win his job outright.. often its been due to injury. I agree with this as long he stays healthy.. *knock on wood* exactly! His only claim to fame here is the yardage totals which are only so lofty because he has been in this league for so long, found himself teams whom had #1 starter issues and he would step into "start" after he had a few legit good starting seasons in Hamilton and here in Winnipeg. I really don't see how throwing a bunch of yards, in a QB league, is enough to warrant a HOF nom. bingo. Accomplishments versus managing to convince people to keep giving you a contract. How anyone can compare Allen to Glenn is absurd. lol. seems like it, reject our version of reality and institute this one instead, just because.

actually, no.. but thanks for coming out. I've been critical of Glenn since he was here the first time around.. I simply don't believe he is a very good QB. the fact he threw for 50k shows hes been in the league for eons... bout it. I really don't see that as some reason to get into the hall of fame. Do linemen who have 10 year careers but have nothing noteworthy to speak of in their careers beyond having said career get in? What about a canadian receiver who plays for 11 years primarily as a blocker/decoy? Any QB who is in this league for as long as Glenn has been masquerading as a starter will pile up yards. I don't see the hall of fame worthiness..

Yea I like the Seattle Sea-Lions, Kraken and firebirds in that order.

they are seriously banking on pre-injury collaros to be the one that shows up in riderville and not the willy'd version. If he is back and 100% with no jitters.. he will be a good QB for them. If he can't regain that form, he will bomb out just like he did in hamilton for the last year and a half.. Collaros, when healthy and on point, is a very good QB. I don't know if he can regain the level of play he had when he first made the jump from toronto to hamilton.. even getting some of it back would make for a pretty good QB.. better then nichols though is definitely laughable.

thats true.. I thought I saw one LB signing but too lazy to backtrack n check. I do think that Walter's might be eying some of the LBs in FA that are going to be available. I hope that O'shea has expressed his need for a new MLB.

oh I don't know... win games, be a leader, make a difference, ****** defeat from the jaws of victory? he is a QB, a mediocre one who didn't accomplish much beyond piling up passing yards... in a passing league... if he happened to do something.... ANYTHING.. beyond sulking on the bench when not in, showing zero remorse for costing his teams games for lack of drive or throwing back breaking INTs at the most inopportune times... sure, i'd say give him a nod for the hall but I've watched him for almost his whole career.. he has not been a hall of famer QB.

very good news on Randle.. losing him would have been a huge blow to our defense.

I have a friend who swears up and down that Trump is the complete cause of the economy being on such a rise these last 2 years in the states... yet completely ignores the fact it was essentially on the same path when Obama was there. Trump supporters are funny, they refuse to verify trumps comments and take them as the word of god.

I feel this would cause a snowflake meltdown.

ya, I'd say he would be more deserving seeing as he would be a Grey Cup champion QB versus just some guy who had a lengthy career and a fair chunk of said career as a backup. I get you are a Kevin Glenn fan and all but really now, what has he accomplished beyond throwing the ball a lot? And last time I checked, us Canadians are not only awarding failure with participation awards left right and centre but we have also removed the soccer ball from the game of soccer in some instances to make things more "fair". We love to award everyone for everything or you think that statement is erroneous?

I dunno, I kind of think it would be... it would be honouring mediocrity. He really hasn't done anything beyond have a long career.. he is the epitome of "meh" and I really don't think he even deserves a spot in the hall. Having a long career is not justification for getting into the hall imo. I know we are Canadian and we love giving out participation awards and all..

well, no.. not if Mason is out. we would need Hutch as our backup.

Because its oh so close to camp already?

lefevour is out of the equation, no? Hes a FA at this point..

I think that he is probably on his make or break moment this season as well, yup. Its not like we need to sign him to a new contract or throw money at him.. hes rostered. If he flops, it will be a shame but not a terrible situation beyond starting from scratch yet again.. physical tools definitely there but the mental side.. gotta hope he can focus and put it all together this year.

lets just call a spade a spade.. every QB was raved about at some point by 1 or more fans here, lol. its kinda what we do.

you think he can get over the hump? when the pressure is off, he looks good but when the bullets fly and the real lights are on, he looked so shaky and forced all his throws it seemed..

Like I said, his sample size is tiny.. but even in that little bit of time, he should have shown something. some glimpse that he could be capable of carrying the mail should Nichols be down.. he really didn't. I'm loathe to give up on a guy with such tools and ability this quick BUT I also don't want to see the bombers invest another season or two on a backup who might not even be worth being given the #2 spot at this point.. How many times have we been down this avenue?

The level of jealousy that I have right now is off the charts, lol. I would love to have seen Rage play. There was a show... probably 10 years ago in North Dakota? Maybe Minneapolis.. at an election rally.. it was hush-hush and I on;y found out about it 2 days before so I wasn't able to go.. Wish I would have as I doubt the chance to see them now is slim to none.. I know they are back "touring" so to speak but I won't have the 5k to travel to where ever they are going to be performing and see them

and its been that way every game he gets into.. He looks scared and hesitant to make a play. I keep hoping the more he gets in game, the calmer he will become and more comfortable... He does have a good arm and excellent scrambling ability... Now I realize his sample size is small.. but has he shown something (anything) beyond looked pensive? The game should be slowing down for him by now by virtue of reps in practice and camp I would have thought..

well when you have multiple people in a unit where one person can fill a few spots, I tend to think its a bit different. for o-line and d-line sure.. RB or LB on the other hand.. sure, on established teams with roles defined and everyone on the same page.. with us switching from 2-3 and not really knowing who is gonna go where (or how long they may last health/skill-wise) I think its a bit more prudent for us to have 6-7 linemen available out of camp and work it down to 5-6 possibly at some time. I get what people are saying, for sure but I also don't want to be in a situation where our o-line is in shambles by week 6 and we have no solutions for it.. o-line is too important to the success of this team.. we finally have one that is solid and dependable.. something we haven't seen here in damn near a decade..

I believe that is usually the number of linemen you'd want if trying to go 3 nationals on the line. one backup per plus another... so technically, we would be thin imo with "draft pick #1" needing to be considered as depth. I imagine we are angling towards this idea in theory but can we make it work with who we have now? Couture can backup Goosen and/or start as a guard I'd assume.. Spooner, Guard/centre backup. Speller, unknown. Neufeld start at guard/backup at guard. seems like we are 2 injuries away from panic mode..

Why do I need to get over that? Its a pretty freakin' awesome thing to be where we are now versus where we were, No?

glad he landed on his feet.. thought he was a decent enough coach.. how odd is it to see our outcasts landing work elsewhere now though? Am I in the twilight zone!?

is Davis still under contract? moo point really then if he is.. he would be #2 going into camp next season unless someone wow's in TC/PS..
