  1. I'm guessing teams are waiting for the draft
  2. That San Jose deal was all Lawless making up something out of nothing.... he was the only one "reporting it". The same goes with his zany idea that we trade Pav for Cam Ward and swallow Wards massive 6.5 million a year cap hit contract which would be ludicrous. The Jets are in a good position, we will dump Ollie's 4.5 million contract... we have several NHL level guys coming up the ranks with Morrissey, Petan , Helleybuck (sp?) , Lowry, Kosmachuk , Kichton..... their is no superstars the Jets can dump a boatload of cash on and if one is available in a year or two that would be when they should attempt to sign them. I like the direction this club is going.... dumping the crap big salary guys and putting that money to long term contracts on guys who have upside and only spending limited money on short term guys as fillers. The only *mistakes* they have made have been Pav and Olli (based on his pay)...
  3. So which trades would you of made at the trade dead line?? Which FA should the Jets sign??
  4. I miss the days of the gaudy stats that players used to put up in the NHL.
  5. You believe way too much of what you read on the internet. Lol my source is not the internet.... my source would be someone I know who was at the scene of the *crime* and who had to later make a report on it all. Kane is not well liked by his team mates or by really anyone....
  6. What moves would you make then?
  7. Put your GM hat on... which players could the Jets acquire that would of sent them to the play offs and would of favored them for winning one or two series? And who would the Jets would have to give up to attain them? I like to see names because watching the trade deadline I didn't see really anyone that could of put us over the hump?
  8. I like reading the free press comments from all the "fans" they are usually hilarious and somehow expect that we should trade a mediocre player and in return get a top 5 player and that the only reason the Jets have not done this is because Chevy is to scared to pull the trigger. I think Chevy is doing a FANTASTIC job so far , his draft picks are mostly doing great (Sutter the only real bust) and the shedding of the dead weight guys over the years and retaining the promising young guys has been A plus so far. I wish Winnipeg *fans* had some patience... the team they acquired was a complete mess and had zero prospects and not many assets. The team has some fantastic guys who will be NHL ready in a few years and with the current group of young guys we have it will be a very good mix. The only players this team should think of moving I think would be Kane and Pavelec and nobody else. I'd like the team to give Kane one more season before righting him off.... the guy doesn't seem to be progressing and aside from skating fast and wiping out in the corner he really doesn't do much aside from taking half ass shots and missing the net when he is open. I think Jets should stay the course and the fans should give them at least 2 more seasons before expecting NHL Playoff caliber team.
  9. Who the F cares.... it's not like Andrew Ladd was lighting it up for us. I think it's pretty excusable for a guy to be present for his new born and missing a game or two from that rather then missing a huge chunk of the season because one of your own team mates knocked you out for being a d-bag.
  10. Does he live in Hamilton during the off season?
  11. Yea screw all the sacks he had and excellent contain for an end...Smh. Didn't you hear, any player that may move on is a piece of crap and was over rated. Alex Hall is a great talent and I'm sure every team would like him.
  12. I still don't understand why doesn't the league have an official in the booth watching the game and why couldn't he signal to the ref on obvious calls?
  13. Well he can't be as bad as DelMonaco anything should be an improvement.
  14. Well his competition is a guy who had several starts in the NFL and a guy who was highly touted and compared to Aaron Rodgers... He will have to have a lights out training camp to see the field this year.
  15. So what about that Max Hall....
  16. It's fine as long as it doesn't become ourbombers.com like in how picky the mods get. For example I would hope we can talk and discuss and have posts about the new QB and his past legal and other issues as part of his thread. I also hope this site doesn't act petty and whine if we mention about how a player chain smokes or if a players girlfriend is cray-cray and acts up at training camp and practices....
  17. It is a bit weird, him T.O and Moss could still play the game and play well.... I'm guessing teams just don't want to deal with the distractions.
  18. No one is doubting his "potential" or his athletic ability.... how can we backtrack when he performed very poorly for us. It's a fact and really he had no excuses for his mistakes. With guys like Hall or Goltz we can at least blame the o-line or the plays being called. Don't forget Cauchy was also being critiqued while in BC for similar reasons.
  19. Willy has played quite a bit more than Tate prior to Burris being traded. No Willy hasn't. Tate took over the starter's job for the Stamps for their last 4 regular season games and the playoffs. Burris being benched for Tate was the reason he was traded. Both had three starts and Tate had about 90 more pass attempts. Very similar stats between the both of them. A very interesting stat is that Max Hall has seen the field more in his one season then Tate has seen in his last three years combined!!
  20. I'll take cannon for an arm , he's in tough with Brohm and Hall both of whom had excellent pedigree.
  21. Its called veteran insurance in case plan A doesn't work out. Your plan has failed us the last three years...we can't suffer any more poor qb play when this team doesn't have the talent to overcome this.
  22. Glenn is definitely an upgrade over Hall no questions asked and *if* they can dump Muamba and pick him up with that salary then its a fantastic move. Our future qbs are Brohm and Willy...we dont need a third... We need a vet backup who can come in and win a game and pass wisdom off to the other guys.
  23. Unfortunately the Five Guys on Regent in Winnipeg is god awful, way over priced and very bland and greasy. A & W *used* to be way more over priced then the other fast food chains but for some reason McDonalds (sorry McCafe now lol) has really started jacking up the prices and the food taste more and more fake. At least A & W and Wendys taste like real meat and has a lot of flavour while McCafe and Burger King simply gives you gut rot lol. For the biggest rip off in town Ace Burpees Market Burger on Corydon was hilariously bad... our table of 8 had to wait an hour and 45 minutes to get our order.... my burger with 2 slices of cheese and bacon and sauteed onions was $13.50 for the burger itself... it was served on an cold bun and had not an ounce of seasoning on the patty. By far worst Burger place that I've seen. Most of the greasy spoons now in town are at the same price if not cheaper then the fast food chains and the portions and quality usually are much higher...
  24. Khaliff doesn't strike me as a honorable kind of guy, when he comes back it will be for the highest bidder.
