I'm very much facts over "emotions" when it comes to judging talent. It's not , I'm merely pointing out that several people on here have blue-tinted glasses and can't admit when a player they dislike is really good. It's very "riderfans" like. "Chad Kelly is a sex pest derp derp derp he sucks". That kind of circle-yanking is verrrrry Rider fans like. Kelly is probably a complete d-bag off the field and anyone can say that, but you can't say he isn't elite on the field based on his current results. A qb could be a great player on the field and a complete sexual predator off the field... see my example of Warren Moon. As I said before... he is ON PACE... and I clearly said that it could go all downhill. But until then he's on pace for a HOF career. His sample size is large enough to make that statement. How boring would these boards be if nobody plays devils advocate?

I believe near Garden City mall that a new Arby's is under construction. I'd assume it's near completion since it's seemed like they started work on it nearly a year ago.

From what I understood on here Chad Kelly's win-loss record doesn't count... but Flutie is an all time great because his win-loss record is allowed to be considered. So they focus on the personal stats... Last season Chad Kelly's QB rating was higher then any season that Doug Flutie had in the CFL. This year Chad's rating of 98.2 would rank almost the same as Flutie's 3rd best season. Kelly has a much better completion % and yards per attempt. The TD/int ratio is nearly the same between them both. Kelly is playing at a time where it is far more difficult to put up big numbers because the level of play is so much greater these days then back then. So once again.... how can anyone dispute that Kelly is playing at a HOF level at this point. Only an ignorant fan would suggest that he is not.

Not sure, but the moment he was replaced with an elite QB the team won back to back Grey Cups. Watch those old games and see just how inferior the talent was compared to the current product. I love Matt Dunigan and will always hold him in high regards. I watched his 700 yard game.... it was comical in how bad the D was that game. This was an era where the difference in top talent and lower talent was an enormous gap. Our Bombers 2024 team would absolutely **** kick that Bombers team the night he tossed for 700 yards. The level of talent in the league these days is so much higher which is why the league has far more parity and why it is so hard for QB's to have gaudy numbers in present time. It is similar to the NHL where a regular ham and egger would pot 50 goals easily because back in the 80's the game was so far behind then what it is currently. It's super comical to watch games from that era and watching goalies fly around and sprawling everywhere and looking absolutely hilarious and amateur compared to what you see in present day. It's an apples and oranges comparison trying to compare players from different eras but because talent across the board is so much higher nowdays it is far more impressive to have a 20 - 5 record in present day.

Doug Flutie, the greatest CFL player ever, was 20-4 in his first 24 starts in Toronto. Kelly is now 20-5. Which CFL qbs in the last 5 years have put up a record like this? Flutie also played during an era where the level of talent in the CFL was significantly lower. If it was all about yards TD's and INT's then I guess Bo Levi Mitchell is the best QB this season despite his mediocre record? Same with MBT? I'd say a guy with a huge winning % and a Grey Cup ring in only two seasons is off to a great start and ON pace for a HOF career. You can't deny it. If he drops off in the next few years then yes at that point he wouldn't be on pace for a HOF career.

Why not? Kelly is on pace for a hall of fame career based on his early success. Warren Moon is revered as a CFL great despite him being an actual sex pest.

I was thinking more along the line that in that area they already have Nuburger, Five Guys, Fatburger, Wayback Burger, George's Burgers, The Burger Factory, Sals, A & W, McDonalds, Burger King, Dairy Queen, and the Wendys on Plessis.

I wonder how they will do, that area is heavily saturated with fast food burger joints.

Manitoba has the 2nd highest rate in Canada for shop lifting, and as I pointed out before the overall crime has skyrocketed. Did you know in much larger provinces such as Quebec that shop lifting has decreased? This isn't happening in "many" places and in Manitoba it is almost at the top for being the worst.

TPB ended in 2018, it was on Netflix for 5 - 6 seasons. It grew a cult following (a 2nd time) from all the new viewers from the States. They even had Snoop for a few episodes which was super funny.

I'm really curious on what they do next season at QB... I wonder if a team would be willing to trade for Rourke? Maybe Ottawa?

Ugh my wife will be happy watching the same movie 41 different times.....

I didn't say anyone called him that, I said that they made him out to be like one and one person said how he left town wasn't good. The truth is the guy would have 1 really good game and then 4 games where he would disappear and do nothing. He had 2 mediocre seasons in a row once we had a real QB and recruited talented receivers. It made 100% sense why the team would move on from a guy like that. This is exactly the same as Rasheed Bailey... the guy wasn't consistent enough. Darvin lasted one season after leaving us and then disappeared... Bailey lasted only a few weeks in Toronto and can't even crack the Redblacks roster over the last month. These kind of guys are "over rated" on this board.

Darvin was a decent receiver... not an all time great that people are making him out to be here. Getting rid of him was the right thing to do considering guys like Lawler/Schoen were light years better then him. I remember on here people making the same excuses that they would make with Bailey in saying that he was a great blocker and so valuable to the team. Which translates to "We are too nice to say this guy isn't as good as he used to be and should be replaced".

VAJ has always been hot and cold... BC made the right move in bringing back Rourke and giving him the money. Unfortunately it has not worked out for them... but at the time it made sense.

Frank Seravalli is a complete moron.

Don't forget Sticky Stala!

Harris is a really good QB, if he were playing on our team he would be lighting it up big time. Maier has dropped big time, I can't imagine him starting next season. I'd imagine his next contract/team is a prove it deal where he is a veteran backup.

Barker is useless, both LaPo and Benevides provided a much better coach perspective then he has.

Every time I changed the channel to the game they (Suitor) kept bringing up Milligan being MOP and trying to make it seem like his special team tackles + interceptions was some kind of MOP draw dropping amazing stat/fact. I could see if the guy had a gawdy amount of ints and where teams avoid throwing the ball to him and he was making game breaking plays. But this isn't the case... he reminds me of Houston a few years back where he had a lot of ints but also was burned many times. I'd give Nichols on our team the MOP over Milligan at this point and wouldn't even think twice.

If Crum was so good then why didn't he get a look in the NFL. Where are the headlines of Crum lighting it up in NFL pre season? You are trying to compare Crum saying that he outperformed Strev via stats which you already proved yourself to be wrong with what you posted. If you are fixated on stats then I bring up where are the stats for Crum in the NFL which is significantly more difficult to play against then in the CFL. Strev is significantly better then Crum... Crum should only be compared to the absolute lowest of low QB's in the league.. I'd put him below Dolegala and probably have him only better then Dom Davis at this point.

The sooner they can clinch the better. I'd much rather them having garbage games at the end of the season where they can play Wilson & Dolegala to give them reps to see who will be the #2 QB in the play offs.

Don't lump me in with your confusion on basic math. How about posting the NFL stats between the two of them?
