Would you rank Zach over both of them? -

WWE has global appeal.... CFL has an extremely small niche audience that would only appeal to a small country. Apples and oranges comparison. Pickleball probably is more desireable for a streaming service then the CFL. -

Is he rotting in a jail cell with other inmates who do not take kindly to child predators? The answer is no... so he is off scott free. It is only my opinion, what he did is more close to the severity of murdering as compared to someone selling drugs or tax evasion. -

Once again the Canadian justice system lets everyone down. At least give the guy a full year of jail so he can at least get the beats from fellow inmates more then a few times... -

Masoli has played 17 games in the last 3 seasons compared to Zach playing nearly 60 games. Masoli is glass at this point. I'll take MBT who can at least take a sack and get up and continue playing. -

In regards to Masoli. I'd rather not have a guy who is one light hit away from ending his career. I don't think that they will be bringing in any other veteran QB's next season. -

And if BC didn't sign Rourke then Adams may have also had the MOP season. It wasn't like Fajardo was dominating, he was playing steady decent football. Harris had similar stats then him and I don't think anyone considered him to be the MOP. -

The only areas we have recruited well is receiver and DB. It shouldn't be this damn difficult and two + years to find anyone on the d-line who can outplay a pylon like Jake Thomas. We shouldn't have to trot out a completely shot lber like Bighill and only replace him once he's hurt himself. We shouldn't have to rely on a guy like Kyrie Wilson who is a band aid. Back in the day they had a dline with Jeffcoat, Nevis, Stove, Kongbo, and where a guy like Roh was the depth and he himself would get 6 - 8 sacks per year. Jake Thomas was 8 years younger and was purely depth and yet somehow him being much older now equals him being our starter? All of those guys are way better then anyone not named Willie that was on our d-line this past year. Maybe we have talent in other areas and the coaches are not playing them (i.e. oline) but it is concerning that guys who are clearly on the decline like Neufeld are not being pushed out. Why didn't they try out more guys at returner? Clearly Whitehead isn't the same anymore, why not cut him after it failed and bring in new faces who could be dynamic and explosive and make a difference? Why waste a spot on Josh Johnson and Lucky Whitehead when they could bring in I'd assume dozens of guys who could receiver and return? Why couldn't they find a punter? Our punter was last in the league for average and by a decent margin. Another odd stat is that he was the only punter that had 0 singles. Which leads me to believe that he never had the leg power to coffin kick it in the corner. This team is aging and struggling to reload. In our prime we had years where we had to make "tough" decisions on who to cut in training camp. The last three training camps it seems like they have all been a joke and we haven't had to make a "tough" cut in a long while. This is concerning for me. God forbid that Brady gets hurt because I think with this current iteration that one big injury like that equals 5 - 6 less wins in the season. -

Maybe as fans we are just tired or over exposed to over analyzing everything? On this board it feels like the fans are much less excited with the new faces that we bring in. Then again when they waste a full year of a roster spot for a navy seal with zero upside and a zero college career and comparing that to the not so long ago past when we would bring in guys who at least had size or speed and/or a great college career... it is concerning. -

Ok I guess my point was incorrect as one player showed well and the 20 other players they rotated in and out were extremely mediocre. -
If you go to Grand Forks/Fargo they have Paradiso's which is the same tex-mex food that Chi Chi's used to serve. The Chi-chi's on Regent Ave used to be very busy and very successful back in the day. I remember always having to wait for a table and the free taco chips and salsa and everyone 'wow'ing over the sizzling fajitas that were being served. I do remember it being a good experience with good food. Eventually the owner sold it at its peak and the new owners had no clue how to run a restaurant and within 2 years they lost their franchise and renamed it to a different Mexican name and then closed shop not much later. I'm always amazed that nobody has set up a Tex-Mex shop since then.

I would think Harris would need to be slowly brought into a role of an OC and I can't imagine his ego allowing him to be a RB coach or receivers coach for a few years beforehand. I'm not sure if Buck was the problem or if it was ZC tossing high risk throws that resulted in our issues last season. I'm not sure it was designed by Buck for Zach to throw it into triple coverage. I guess we will find out next season. -

I will disagree, the last two seasons at least we've brought in a whole lot of players who are barely depth level players in the league. I can't think of anyone new that is remotely close to being considered an all star level of talent. The d-line and lbers have rotated in and out with very little success. The punter is god awful. The o-line has aged and the only new blood that saw lots of play time is a Rider cut. Our import talent has been a whole lot of meh. Our Canadian talent has looked as good as it has in the past so I will say for that part we are doing a good job of bringing in fresh faces that can make plays. -

Tre Ford is #1? The guy couldn't even win a starting job on a bad team. -
The previous theatre at KP was equally as expensive. A kids combo which was a tiny bucket of popcorn a candy and a small drink was $25. This is why we used to (and still do) buy the packages from Costco which cut the costs quite a bit.
-
You mean $30 for a popcorn , soda, and one candy is not reasonable? I now understand why my Mom always would bring her big purse to the movies when I was a child. We continue that tradition as I don't feel like dropping $100+ dollars on popcorn and drinks when instead we can go to Dollarama/WalMart and get a whole lot more of snacks for only a fraction of the price.

Imagine if Lapo becomes our OC and we sign Tre Ford.... I could only imagine how many flea flicker double reverse hail mary plays we would run! -
And Bogosians room-mate was Jacob Trouba during that time.
-
Just like the internet made up all of the Evander Kane issues.
-
I thought the issue with Trouba was his drug problems off the ice and his family wanting him closer to home so they can keep an eye on him? I'd assume the Jets wouldn't want anyone with a history or character issues.

If I have to pick one it's MBT. He's durable... he's nutty... but he at least can throw the damn ball down the field. I'd rather take my chances in a nutbar who can give our receivers the chance to make a play over a hamburger fatty who sits in the pocket or a prancing prima donna who spins in the pocket and can't throw deep for $hite.
