Possibly true and that's his evaluation to make as someone of far superior football intelligence than us.

I'm sure glad you did not make up stuff about their motivation and professionalism to try and endorse your opinion. Oh wait....I just read beyond the first sentence...never mind.

Harris is likely to finish with somewhere around 1900 yards from scrimmage if he plays this week. That's an outstanding season by any measurement. Singleton has also been very good, but voters generally default to the offensive side of the ball when given the choice. I think Harris beats Singleton, and I think Solly beats Singleton.

You guys are seeing the names and equating it with the GM position without anyone remotely suggesting that. You guys are taking the suggestion completely out of context.

I think you are insane right now lol. Not one person suggested that we hire someone new for our front office. Barker and Taman were both very successful scouts and talent evaluators in this league and that is what is being proposed. Scouting where it is abundantly apparent our current scouting is weak....not to mention we are currently without Craig Smith for an indefinite amount of time.

I am very disappointed in Denmark over the past several games. At a time this team needs him the most he seems to be pulling one of the disappearing acts that got him cut a couple years ago.

I agree. I think Barker would be my preference as well.

If I had the time and inciination to do so, I could list a 100 guys I think would be a better signing than Greg Carr right now.

No it doesn't. However, I think we can all agree that our scouting network needs improvement.

Don't ever let Taman anywhere near your SMS, but he is a proven talent evaluator.

No one is suggesting that Taman be given the keys to the franchise. Taman is very good at evaluating receivers, running backs, and DL. Sign him up as a scout and work his strengths. Let McManus et al do their thing which appears to be secondary, OLB, and OL. Right now what we are lacking in our scouting department seems to be a good fit for Taman. That's all I'm saying. Barker too, is a good talent evaluator for QBs and receivers. They're unemployed let them turn over some stones for us, they have a massive network of connections down South.

The Bomber scouting and Kyle Walters seem to be incapable of finding/recognizing receiver, LBer, and QB talent. It's time for some new scouting. With Smith on the shelf for the foreseeable future in the scouting dept, it may be time to lure a top scout away from another team or find a place maybe for Jim Barker, Brendan Taman, or someone in a purely talent evaluation role. Walters brings a lot to like to the table, but his talent evaluation is not on par with other CFL GMs.

I don't think he would. I think he is punishing DC by taking him off the offence and this Redskins rumor is coming from Carter's camp to try and end his banishment.

The only FA tailback that might intrigue me right now is Shakir Bell.

Yea. There are no futures contracts in the CFL.

They loved his pick 6. Why wouldn't they. Everyone loved him in Montreal too....until he was cut and the truth came out. I honestly hope the Riders do sign him because he will cost them a fortune and he is, and always will be, a ticking time bomb to any dressing room he is a part of.

Sure does...but he's locker room cancer. It's why Jones will not pursue him hard in the offseason imo.

Money is going to be a massive issue for Jones next year. Half his team is coming off their rookie contracts.

Why would you assume that. About the only thing one can assume with DC is that he is wildly unpredictable. Whether he signs with the Riders or not will depend on which way the wind is blowing on that particular day.

Nobody will. The guy is still a major league head case.

Winnipeg 2013

Just as other teams look at our Heath, Randle, or Leggett and wonder the same thing. I get that Hurl is not an all star but the decision to play him allows us to afford and play other all stars.

Luckily, our offence is built to be able to withstand injuries in our receiving corps better than pretty much any other team. A Lapo offence asks only that you be competent and assignment sound. We are not a run and gun offence like Sask and BC.

When the weather turns ice cold we can put a NAT at FC imo.

Might be a safe bet.
