He was also cut by EDM I believe, or maybe he left for the NFL in the offseason... "Playing for the Vikings" is a stretch. And NFL success never equals CFL success. He had opportunities here to play and did nothing with them. Which again is my point. We've brought guys in who on paper should be good. But haven't been. Even though I disagree with you about him...that's 3 wrs. This regime for whatever reason just doesn't produce high quality rec on the regular. Lbs, dbs, OL/DL, RB....sure. but WR...I'm not seeing it.

Tons of talented rec? I'm not sure about that. No one has been able to do much of anything with the exception of Schoen and Bailey.

Well you quoted me in that comment. And we essentially agree. I said it comes down to $$ and effectiveness. There's only a few guys who know how they will work that evaluation. I think solid replacements are likely already on the roster, and I wouldn't be upset if they moved on. But I'd also understand if they decided to not move on.

That's not my job.

Dunbar would be an adequate replacement if Schoen lands elsewhere

The biggie situation is probably more in line with can we get similar play or a bit better at a cheaper price? And I think there are a few vets that the team will look at via that lense.

I'd like to introduce you to Kerry Joseph

Some of this makes sense. But Masoli is done. Blew his Achilles well after the season started. Won't be ready until at least july and that's best case scenario. I fully expect a retirement announcement from him by September. Burris did win a cup. I'd argue they've been the best qb developers/finders since the 90s easily.

Did you get a free glass too?

Oh weird, I could have sworn he was a FA

Ford isn't a lock to return. Maybe he's already made it clear that he won't be? It's not like he got a ringing endorsement from his HC.

Yeah I don't think KSB catches on anywhere. But can't blame a guy for trying.

I believe he was referring to only the GC.

I'll still be disappointed

I'll be disappointed if Prukop is back next year.

1 more year here could absolutely impact his earning potential moving forward as well. His next play could be his last. Or he could look like **** this year. Also this talk of no teams looking good right now is pointless. CFL FA could and often does change things. If CGY picks up a couple WRs or hell even one. They could be a very good landing spot. And in terms of comfort in a system...it's the CFL, there are no mysteries. Teams often run very similar schemes and if not, any team putting a big financial commitment into a qb would absolutely want to design the system around him. I want to keep Brown. But he's gone.

Wonder what the chances are Alford comes back? I followed his progress down there until the year started. I know at one time he had a legit chance at starting....but don't know how that worked out.

No one tell Booch. He'll be crushed

That's the thing. By basically all measurements, Collaros did have a great year. He'd start on 8 teams tomorrow...maybe 7 if BC is stupid. His down fall, while inevitable is being highly over exaggerated on this forum.

What problems do you see with the week 1 depth chart?

Roster management is already ****!!

Yeah didn't the Lions have a draft like that a few years ago. And they've looked as good as they have since Sanders.

I thought rouke was so shitty no team would ever pick him up off waivers?

Whoever we have on that OL. I hope they play with a bigger chip in their shoulder this year. Not that they didn't have any last season. But there were too many liberties taken with players by some defenses this past year and a lack of response by the big guys. Don't get yer panties in a bunch...they played with attitude and played to the whistle often. But....when teams started getting lippy and really punching back (didn't happen often) the OL didn't respond in kind....which I understand would draw a penalty or two. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. That is one of my big complaints about the GC honestly. MTL started hitting hard and talking **** and no one of the offense seemed to care.

Don't you remember? Walters refused to do any work until he had a new contract! /S
