No kidding. Troy Smith is just a recent reminder that there is more to being a QB than a strong arm. Doug Flutie is living proof that a legendary QB can throw an ugly ball.

What? Did you watch practice or preseason at all last season? All I hear about Marve is how well the guy can throw. Marve was the Bombers' best QB in training camp, and maybe even in practice, last season and was very good with limited reps in the regular season. The offence performed incredibly well with Marve at the helm, considering the circumstances (down by 16 against the best team in the league in the first game, awful weather in the second one). They scored 29 points (should've been 36) in the 53 minutes that he played. He was only sacked once during that time, did not throw an interception nor fumble the ball... He basically did everything necessary to win games. Marve has excellent potential, and frankly, I think it's stupid to suggest he might not stay on the roster. I agree that Marve has a lot of upside and possibly could be better than WIlly in the future. I don't think JBR was disputing that, nor do I see anywhere that he thinks he will be cut. However, there is more to throwing than just arm strength. Last year Marve did not show the ability to recognize certain coverages and did not get the ball out in a timely fashion. While this made for some tremendous excitement when he scrambled, these were broken plays. Until Marve learns to read coverages, can take a 3-5 step drop and deliver the ball he will not be surpassing anyone on the DC. Marve looked decent last year in limited playing time. A quick look at his stats will show that he was far from incredible. I get it...you're stoked about what could be a good young QB, however, I think you are overstating things right now concerning Marve.

Eerily similar looking to Peg Bundy.

Lirim is #70... and yeah Troy was 74 when he was an emergency, out of retirement signing.... I think that was also his number in his first couple seasons before switching to 7. I believe that Randy Fabi wore 74 back in the day? According to CFLapedia Fabi wore 72, 73, and 77 73....that's right....I remember now.

I predict that two gorgeous blondes will knock on my door this morning and offer to wash my car in bikinis while I videotape (is videotape still a word). Geez predicting is easy and fun. If only predicting it made it so.

No we had a meeting, everything is blamed on the NDP now. Rightfully so, I might add.

I highly doubt it. What would be the point? Why let someone else control your contract negotiations.

I personally do not think this rumor has any legs.

As long as the Riders suck and we make the playoffs. I don't care how any other position in the standings turns out. Riders out/Bombers in = good season. Bombers winning the Grey Cup....oh man...I would hold the land speed record for joining a forum and getting kicked off a forum...yes Riderfans I'm talking about you.

It's better if you sound intelligent whilst stirring though. I originally wrote Jade 2.0 and nothing else lol. ....and how exactly was that intelligent?

I'm not sure that is something to brag about. It's not terribly difficult to be **** disturber, one just needs a big mouth and an extreme view.

Our FOOTBALLS used to be bigger, but when they switched over to Wilson from the J5V the ball size was changed to match our American football counterparts. Adding to the confusion is the well known fact that Canadians have bigger balls. Just not footballs anymore.

He's getting crapped on solely because his last name isn't Demski or Durant....although he stands a chance of being better than either of them.

I don't like floating rumors, but I have a pretty decent source telling me he signed for 3 years. Take it for what you will. I think we will find out in the next few hours for sure.

You may be right. However, that is a big improvement over what was. I look forward to Walters having difficult cap decisions to make next offseason. It means we maxed out.

I am hoping that Richards can push JFG to bench duty.

I agree with your premise. I should qualify that the bulk of my objection would be to trading him for a draft pick, even if it was a first rounder. I see no reason why we couldn't accomplish that after the season.

I don't feel like listening to Huffer ramble on for an hour and 15 minutes. Anyone have a time in the audio where he talks about the Bombers?

Personally I would prefer not to take Poblah back. Just think he is damaged goods. However, I could certainly understand why the Bombers might think about it. Kohlert is average at best, and JFG should not be starting in a CFL offence. When those are your starters, you gotta try and get better and leave no stone unturned to do so. Although, I do think JFG will not be starting this year because we will go 4 imports.

Ball would not come cheap, Walters has to watch his salary cap or he will end up paying tomorrow for today's hamburger. Following Brendan Taman's footsteps could lead to places one does not wish to visit.....like Regina. I get what you're saying, but sitting around on a 5 year plan gets you a trip to Regina as well....in a losing effort. I like that we are all in. It's about damn time.

I expect a Grey Cup win in 2015. I expect a Grey Cup every year. I will settle for 2 things. Making the playoffs and eliminating the Riders from the playoffs in the process. The season won't live up to my lofty expectations but I will still be happy.

Absolutely, if there was one knock to Milt's game is that occasionally he would drop an easy one. ALL receivers do it. Kito's hands were no better but no worse than many good CFL receivers. People tend to want to pile on players after they leave. From what I remember of Kito is that he rarely hit the field because of injury, and at times appeared to take plays off. Those are bad enough knocks for a player to have, we don't need to pile on.

What is odd about that?

You shouldn't need other GM's to justify the decision but after the way Kelly and Mack went their own way it is good to know that other GM's saw something in this guy worth throwing all the chips to the center of the table. I know we shouldn't dwell on the past but the present is not good enough to make the future so enticing. But I am still getting excited about this season. For sure. Walters is showing that he, at the very least, will not stand by and watch other teams get better. I like the all in approach. It's about damn time our organization became aggressive.
