sweep the leg

Good call. Of all the things to worry about, this has to be at the bottom.

I think Miller is promoting this insanity as a ruse to make the Ticats overconfident.

Not terribly surprising, but Goltz is upset. Russ Hobson ‏@russ_sportsguy 5m Justin Goltz says he feels betrayed and team has mismanaged QB position. #Bombers

Miller seemed to me to say that on-field decisions aren't his job (his comment about not watching film for example). My guess is that Burke is letting Crowton play the qb he wants. He's said he's not involved with the offense, so he's going to let the guy who is pick his qb.

I've heard that before too. It may have been on here, I can't remember. On the pregame show for our last game Dunnigan said that Hall was the guy the Bomber coaches thought was the future and he expected to see him before the season was over.

You're a very intense person...

The cost of a qb trade & an OL or two in FA would have made us a much better team. That's all I think we needed to be a competitive team.

It would to a degree. As it stands right now though I agree with Iso's post. He didn't do enough to make the team competitive while we waited for these young guys to emerge.

To answer the OP, my attitude has changed a couple of times over the past 5 years. In 2009 I had some doubts as to whether or not I wanted to keep my season tickets, as I was having zero fun at the games. 2010 & 2011 made me love it again, but the last two years have again chipped away at my willingness to pay for watch something that only makes me angry. I'm coming periously close to no renewing, as my tipping point might be my chance to get in on Jets season tickets for this coming season. It sucks when you actually feel like it's a hassle to be bothered going to games.

I'll bite. What did a Bomber player say to his roofing company after the LDC?

Our NI receiving depth now compared to the end of 2009 is night & day. We have 4 guys now who would have been the best NI receiver on that 2009 team. Elsewhere the improvement is marginal. We have two prospects on the OL that I have high hopes for, but they need to show something before I can consider them much of an upgrade. I'm also slightly concerned that Swiston hasn't been able to take the RG job from Morley yet.

Dunigan's argument was Pierce should have been replaced in the offseason, not now. I 100% agree with that. The part about Goltz was way off though. Mack's failings have to include an OL that is below average or worse at 4 out of 5 spots. Shannon Boatmen being the best import RT he can come up with after 4 years is a huge failing.

Seeing as how this is a GM thread, I figured I'd put it here. Lawless (I know...) said on H&L the other day he's heard from other league sources that Walters & Mack strongly disagreed on our 1st pick this year. Apparently Walters wanted Edem.

Who took a step back under him? January's become an allstar under him & Morley's the only other guy who was here when he arrived. He also turned a DT into a serviceable LG.

I assume Mack. That's who I'll pick as well b/c it will be hard to replace him after we win the Grey Cup this season...

What name did you choose?

This is a terrible idea, which is why it will probably happen.

Yes, Max Hall should be next in line. Under no circumstances should Pierce ever start a game for this team again. Mgmt already made themselves look foolish naming Pierce as our starter going into the season. Doubling down on the error by keeping him as our starter is much worse than handing the team over to unproven guys. I'd rather run with guys who we don't know much about than somebody we know well enough to be sure he isn't the answer.

All of his sentences are long and drawn out. That's just how he speaks.

Goltz basically said the same thing about Pierce last week, something like "this city is waiting for a consistent qb".

Where have you seen any?

That's pretty crazy if he really did just find out about this at the same time as us.

No kidding. Not the most well thought out statement.

Pierce: Hey Lulay, your wife is a lesbian Pierce: Hey Lulay, she's a dyke. I know, I know... Pierce: She's a lesbian, a lesbian, a lesbian....
