Willie back for 1 more

What are the chances Alford comes back?

They wouldn't have hosted 3 straight WF.

Keep in mind after his 2nd season he was injured. That may have played a role.

Schoen doesn't have the quickness like those guys. He's close, but in that environment close isnt good enough. I'm not saying he wouldn't succeed in the NFL, I'm just saying i understand why he isn't in the NFL.

Schoen had plenty of opportunity down south. Some guys just don't fit. He's not a NFL wr. That's not to say he's a bad WR just that he doesn't have what NFL teams look for when it comes to that position. He's been unbelievable in the CFL partly due to his use of the waggle. Wilson does to a certain extent. But I'm willing to bet we see him in 2025 in Blue and Gold.

Darvin you're right....the others are kinda muddy a bit. They offered them $$, but the players wanted something else/more. So I don't know how you file that away...under moving on....or under something else. But if the players had still wanted to be here Harris and Jeffcoat anyway, would have been. But yeah I do generally agree. I think they've done a decent job from bringing in younger guys. They just need to work on replacing a few more/giving young guys a shot. With Thomas...I truly think the loss of Lawson played a big role in him getting the playing time he did. I don't think Thomas will be back next season, but I've been saying that since 2019. soooooo

He seems to be. Maybe a bit under qualified for his current position...but you didn't hear that from me lol

fun fact. Michael Richardson is the CEO of United Way Winnipeg.

Sure...but it does happen to lets say trainers or even just friends in the city...who have other clients/friends who also like the bombers and they get chatting and things are talked about. I know this from personal experience.

If I'm being honest...I don't think they do. And I'm ok with it. That position is easily replaced with a cheaper american. It would be nice to have him, but I don't think he's a guy who can make or break your defense.

See and that's my biggest issue with how the GC game played out. The game plans for the games against the argos weren't good during the season. And they seemed to think 3rd times the charm in the GC.

He's a FA in feb. No chance he's making that next year.

What is Harris making?

Yeah dinwiddie said he is their #1 priority to re-sign And chances are, he'll make less than Betts

I get that he's CND and that will boost his value. But He's tremendously overrated imo. I'm glad they've paid him that much but I will be very surprised if BC feels like they get full value out of that. He's collecting on a half of a season of tremendous play, much like Rourke.

Why? *Half seasons

BCs score is a bit surprising. Based on Their money bags owner you'd think they'd have better resources etc....guess he spent too much on concerts

Yeah and Dru Brown should have never played another down of football after his first start...

They have in the past

Oh ok. Fair enough

Ohhhh Ic....I was thinking more of get it done = GC win in 25. That's what I want done by any means necessary. Mortgage that future, add another down, sell the team to the highest bidder....as long as they win the GC I'd be fine lol

how can they get it done, wrong?

only if you ignore the facts. Yes I know it's a team game. But VA has never been a starting QB on a team that won a divison...nevermind back to back. Never mind 5 times in a row. He's never started a GC, which of course makes it impossible for him to be a starting QB on a team that won back to back GCs and of course that makes it impossible for him to be a GC MVP as well. I get your point Booch. I actually think Collaros' contract is more of a hinderance to the team than any thing else. But VA is not and hasn't been at any point in his career (up until now) at the same level as Collaros. And I'm a VA fan for what it's worth and wouldn't have even been against bringing him in and trading ZC. but...VA has done exactly nothing in CGY. And that's why I don't see that contract as team friendly. It's about on par with what a starting QB is making, and like I said earlier maybe even a bit of an over pay. Time will tell with that.

I honestly don't think that's much of a "team friendly" deal. He's won some early season games...put up good numbers for half seasons and done nothing in the playoffs. That's essentially the going rate for a starting qb in the CFL with his pedigree. If anything, that miiiiiiight be a bit of an over pay. But that might be reaching a bit by me lol
