Then I guess everyone on the board better stop saying so and so is or is not a leader or whiner or whatever since everyone here judges every player on the field all the time.

Same way we judge everyone else in this world. Just by observation. Watching how he acts and reacts. On the field, in front of the camera, what he says in the paper, what others say about him, watching how he handles himself before and after a game whether he wins or loses. You really think you can judge a player by their interactions with the media? Players never talk straight with the media. They talk in uncontroversial cliches, mostly. (which is why most of sports journalism is a total bore, but that's another topic) You're making up an opinion based on observing like 1% of what's going on. It's silly to hear people debate this stuff as if it's fact, it's just people waving opinions around based on how they feel. You know what I find hilarious. You say (and when I say you I mean everyone) that Banks is a leader on the field. How do you know that? What gives you that impression? Maybe he's just all talk. You're making an opinion based on observing 1% of what's going on. Etc.... "Burris is a whiner and complains and I don't want him here" How do you know that? Are you his coach? Are you in the locker room with him? If you're watching the sports news you're only getting 1% of what's going on...blah blah blah. Seriously...you guys are saying that because we're questioning his leadership that we're wrong. Yet in other threads you point out that Burris is a whiner, Banks is a leader, so and so is this way or that. How do you know? You're not his mother/brother/father/sister/teammate/coach/etc... *cough*hypocritical*cough* We're all getting this information by hearsay and media and watching what they're like on the field and off. You think I'm wrong about Buck? Then why weren't we winning games with him behind center? Yes coaching was a factor, but true leadership inspires...and he inspired no one. None of them did. Not the coaches, not the players. There was no spark on our team. Sparks are made by good leadership. There was none on our team. But I hope there is now. Time will tell.

I'll agree with you on that. But being committed doesn't mean you're a leader. I agree with 17. He was a more lead by example type of guy.

Completley disagree with this statement. Buck showed on and off the field needed leadership qualities for this team, especially the young guys. Things like loyalty, in-game coaching (whether playing or not) of his teammates, how he presented himself to the media, his honesty with his limitations and knowing it's negatively affecting his ability to be on the field consistently. Buck would be a great QB coach in my opinion. Buck was a leader on the field when he first got here, but it didn't last too long just because he got so broken. I really don't think he was ever the same kind of player after he buggered up his elbow. Yes but one of my points was you don't have to be playing to be a leader. His elbow issues, for example, didn't change how he demonstrated his off-field leadership qualities with his teammates, with the coaching staff, with management, with the fans. If you think he'd be such a great QB coach, why was it when he was hurt, our QB's didn't get any better then they were? If he wasn't playing because he was hurt, he should have been helping out the other QB's get better. So either A) he just sucked at coaching other players, the other QB's didn't listen to him, or C) he didn't care and wanted to stay #1 so didn't bother helping the others get better. And sorry, but I don't see how you can be a leader when you look like a deer in headlights most of the game.

Yeah, I still don't find it funny, but that's ok, cause I find other things funny. Like every comment Pigseye makes.

Apparently he knows some really good spots in the province. He's taken a few sports figures with him fishing with pictures to prove it. He took some MLB player, can't remember which one because I don't watch baseball, as well. When he took Buck, he also brought along one of the other Bombers too, can't remember which one. Fishing doesn't interest me, Buck doesn't interest me, and Baseball doesn't interest me...so...yeah...my recollection of the whole story is vague, other then seeing him standing their with Buck with some giant ass fish.

Yeah I'm with you. I don't get why this is funny.

Agree with Brandon. Just to compare, Khari Jones was a leader on the field. Buck was not. My co-worker took him fishing and told me he was a really nice guy, which I believe. But a leader on the field. I just don't see it.

He's an ok rb. We need better.

Boo!

He retired...let it go. I doubt Walters would ever bring him in after what he did.

That would be Winnipeg, Hamilton and Montreal (possibly Edmonton). Glenn's already played for Winnipeg and Hamilton, which leaves Montreal, possibly Edmonton.

If Lulay's rehab is on schedule he may be ready for TC iirc. Yes but wouldn't Glenn be much better insurance then Pierce/Elliott? With the Glenn gets released scenario, BC might go after him but I don't think Glenn would want to sign there and be stuck behind Lulay. The question is, where could he sign where he wouldn't stand behind someone else. BC: Lulay Edmonton: Reilly Calgary: Tate/BLM Regina: Durant Winnipeg: Willy Ottawa: Burris Hamilton: Collaros Toronto: Ray Montreal: Smith Montreal or Winnipeg might be the only possibility (with a slight tilt to Montreal because they haven't come out and said Smith is the starter...at least I don't remember them doing that) if they're willing to let him start for the year to allow Willy or Smith a little more time to develop.

Delete, I read something wrong. So sue me...STOP LOOKING AT ME AND GET BACK TO THE THREAD!!!

Kirk Penton ‏@PentonKirk 40m We said they were talking over the weekend, and now the #Bombers and safety Donovan Alexander have agreed on a contract.

I think most of us don't really care about his age. Our concern is if he's going to be good at coaching CFL QB's instead of the NCAA/NFL type QB's. I don't care who our QBC is, as long as he's good and can teach them some things to help them progress, I'm all for him. ...and as long as Boltus was just some fluke that he couldn't teach...I'm good.

He may not of officially had the title, but for all intents and purposes yes he was.I believe the phrase is "intensive purposes".Actually it's "For all intents and purposes" Not on the old Ourbombers it wasn't... Don't worry KBF, I got the joke. You're not alone.

Oh yay...another link to Bellefeuille. That always exudes so much confidence in me for this teams future. Well with that much experience I hope he's really good at what he does, especially in our league. I'm with Gbill and KBF, I hope this guy can figure out our game and teach accordingly. NCAA isn't the same as the CFL. I hope O'Shea knows what he's doing.

You do know what paisano means right? You're basically calling Wally your buddy. Also, I'm with Atomic. Not sure that Alex Hall + 2nd round trade was worth it.

Now, it's just briefs, right? Lol. I prefer boxers. I prefer the nude... ...unfortunately for my wife.

That's obviously Blacque Jacque Shellacque

Hang on, I think I have a screenshot of our chat sessions during the Bomber games... *cough*hypocrite*cough* I think we're all like that from time to time.

That's what dictionaries say too. Sweet. Got a mind like a dictionary I do. Completely different then that lavoie and nik lewis are being described as doing.. And to think, if the right wording was used originally, this thread loses 3 pages.. Off-season is way too long lol lum·ber2 [luhm-ber] Show IPA verb (used without object) 1. to move clumsily or heavily, especially from great or ponderous bulk: overloaded wagons lumberingdown the dirt road.

I think his numbers would have been a lot better had we had a better QB throwing to him instead of the lame ducks we've had for the last 7 years.
