If a team like Ottawa wanted Nichols I imagine that they would have him given that the Esks gave him away for less than peanuts.

Henoc Muamba and there's no hesitation or thinking twice about it. An adequate backup QB does not have equal value to a star Canadian defensive player.

Why's that? Cause he sucks? Lol so true.

It was a nice win, but we scored 14 points against the worst team in the league. I'm not ready to proclaim that all is well yet.

Picard is getting over 200K, Henoc deserves WELL over 200K and then some.

The Eskimo fan message board. Weird vibes.Can you describe these "weird vibes"?

Agreed. We have to do everything in our power and then some to bring him back.

Are you guys forgetting that Nichols just got benched for a raw rookie because of poor play and his former team gave him away to a division rival? He's clearly an upgrade over Brohm & Marve, but let's not get crazy here and suggest that any team in the CFL would be comfortable with Matt Nichols as their starting QB. That ship sailed about three years ago.

You guys hear about this Tom Brady kid the Patriots just drafted? There's no way he'll beat out Micheal Bishop for his!

No chance Matt Nichols is a starting CFL QB next year. Not saying its a slam dunk or anything, but I disagree with you. I'd say there's definitely a real chance. Willy, BLM, Collaros, Ray, Cato, Crompton, Reilly, and Harris are 8 QB's who are unquestionably better than Nichols - then there's other guys like Lulay, Durant, Glenn, Franklin, Brett Smith, Drew Tate and possibly Burris hanging around. That's 15 Quarterbacks I'd take over Nichols - don't see how he gets a starting job even if guys like Durant can't recover and Burris calls it quits.

Bombers will probably have the top 2 picks in the 2nd round. Given that we gave up our first rounder, the Riders second rounder IS a first rounder.

Wasn't Greaves a defensive tackle? I find it hard to believe that he was drafted with the intent of him playing tackle.

I like Neufeld better at tackle if he's starting.

Great trade. Greaves was probably going to be asked to take a pay cut or be handed his walking papers in the off season. Who's our starting left guard now?

Too bad those three players make our entire offense bad, Chevy Walker & Greg Peach also deserve to be added to the list of terrible players but that's just me nitpicking. I hope we can at least handle the Riders at home without Nichols.

Randle is a big loss. Ouch.

Franklin this week wasn't any better than Marve last week. That Calgary D is tough for rookie QB's.

Why would Ottawa finish ahead of the Argos?

Henoc without a shadow of a doubt.

You don't hire someone knowing that their ceiling is 9-9. That's absolutely ridiculous.

The guy is a fkn troll because he was cut... Wonder what he would have said on twitter when we were all saying he was the weak link on the OL I don't disagree, but it does make a point a lot of us have been saying and getting ridiculed for. O'Shea doesn't hold his players accountable for what they do on the football field.

Sounds like someone is a little bitter they were let go....

I don't want mediocre just because it's a slight upgrade on awful.

That's BS, all he did was take his teams to the playoffs in consecutive years, same a Berry but he got the axe too. This organization and it's fans are too stunned to know a good thing when it's staring them straight in the face. 27 and 35, 0 and 3 in the playoffs. Never better than 9-9 and that is with being in the East where Winnipeg had the Mike Kelly debacle of 09 and the Lapo bunch that couldn't close games in 2010, plus lousy teams in Toronto. But feel free to explain why he is a good thing? It's nice to see some logic here from time to time.
