sweep the leg

Of the two vet dbs we've talked about, I'd much rather have Banks.

Somebody on the Riders site said the same thing.

Bomber fans have demonstrated time and time again that they do not have the patience required to develop a new qb. Right, it's the fans' fault... You saying that this team hasn't made knee jerk reactions because fans in the city are growing restless? It's still not the fans' fault. You don't deserve to be a GM if you make personnel decisions based on popularity polls.

As Bomber fans to the end, we should stand back to back so we can save money on bullets.

Sweet Jesus would things suck if we miss out on Burris too.

What I meant was that our talent is significantly better than what they had. Our D played terribly, but we mixed in some dominating performances with the stink. That 2012 Ticats D had the least amount of talent I can remember a team ever assembling.

What I meant was that our talent is significantly better than what they had. Our D played terribly, but we mixed in some dominating performances with the stink. IMO there's a lot of talent there. That 2012 Ticats D had the least amount of talent I can remember a team ever assembling.

While I disagree with your opinion on the two defenses, I have to respect your references to drugs & kool-aid to make your point. And who doesn't like a catchy nickname like "sport".

Based on what? He was at the helm of a team that won six games in 2012. Granted Hamilton's defence was terrible that year, but right now ours isn't much better. Compared to the Ticats D in 2012? Our D is light years ahead of that train wreck.

You have to look all the way back to 2012.

I agree with this. I can't articulate why, but I was way more certain that Reilly was going to be a legit qb compared to how I fee about Collaros. Same with Willy for that matter. I'd be happy with a Burris/Hall 1-2 punch heading into the season. Hall's only one year older. I also agree that it would be fantastic to watch Austin struggle with his new wonderboy this season.

Lawless just tweeted that Barker wanted our #2 overall pick for his rights.

Matthew Scianitti ‏@TSNScianitti 1m #CFL sources say Henry Burris will be released by the #Ticats Welcome to Winnipeg Mr. Burris. Hopefully you make all the haters (yes, I said haters) suck your ass this season.

I've never wanted somebody to fail (in the CFL) more than I do Collaros right now.

Drew Edwards just reported the Ticats have reached an agreement with him.

Not at all. Some fans here feel that way, but I guarantee the average fan would be thrilled to hear we've acquired a veteran QB like Burris, 38 years old or not. I think most casual fans would be happy with either one, provided the news tells them they should be excited.

Sure we can. Lots of teams have more than one good player.

I remember Bucknor's name, but not a lot about his performance. Dropping from a regular starter in 2012 to a part time player in 2013 doesn't sound promising, although to be fair it's generally harder for a Canadian to get playing time in the secondary. I wonder if this is a case of Aprile not wanting to come back, or if Walters knows we're getting a few of our Canadian receivers back and doesn't need him.

He hasn't. As per the thread title, Collaros was released.

The qb landscape would get pretty interesting/scary in Collaros landed an NFL contract.

No, the last thing we need is another bad qb. Burris is pretty good, so signing him would avoid that problem for at least a year or two.

People were upset ? Lots of them. MItchell was the obvious choice. He was an o-lineman and Henoc was raw in a typically american position. Should have taken the guy who could step in right now and make the OL better. Lots of people are upset about anything the Bombers do. I don't recall Muamba over Mitchell being any better or worse than normal. There were lots of people on both sides of the fence on that one.

Me too. We haven't had quality qb play since 2007, so I'd be just fine with the 2x defending passing leader coming to town.
