After a reassessment.... our metal has been upgraded:

hahaha... exactly the first thing I thought when I saw this thread...

Without reading the thread... I just want to say that "elite" is such a subjective term and completely useless when analyzing athletes, especially QBs... Is Matt Nichols a good QB? Is he capable of leading our team to the Grey Cup? I say yes to both... so whether you want to call him "elite" or a "game manager" or a "gun-slinger" or "insert generic sports term"... all these terms are irrelevant... just win baby

I might argue this is the case... Last game (the best we've had from field side all season) had Brian Walker at HB (Bruce's old spot) and Carmichael at CB... maybe the team sees: Randle - Heath - Loffler - Walker - Alexander as the best secondary we can dress... not sure I would disagree...

In Sask?... with the all-powerful Chris Jones?.... unheard of!

have to think it's some kind of locker room/attitude issue

Greg Ellingson

seems about right... I'd be extremely impressed if an UDFA from a non-Div I school was any higher than 3rd on the depth chart...

according to my research Intzandt is on Ottawa's PR... but Butcher is a free agent... so if the team was interested in developing him, he's available...

probably lots of food at the stadium... their salary is basically "walking around" money... as long as they don't have 4 kids to support they will be just fine...

disagree,... fans don't make personnel decisions... and I am quite thankful for that most of the time... Kevin Glenn is better today, 9 years later, than any QB we've had since... save for Buck and Nichols... I also don't totally disagree with Spuds point... he was 1 win away from a home playoff game... however he made far too many stupid personnel and in-game decisions... I'll kindly refer to him as a bad coach, rather than a terrible coach...

I think the biggest difference is that Richards went, more or less, where he was projected... Jade was a 3rd or 4th round projection that went in the first round...

This is the exact answer to the trivia question.... how do the stamps seem to always have back-ups that can fill in without missing a beat?

good point... that's a good angle to take it from that I hadn't considered... piggy backing on another site to advance your own is petty... but there's gotta be a better way to co-exist... more CFL content out there the better, IMO...

hey, even if he ends up being the second coming of Julian Fioli-Guidino... that wouldn't be too bad! I think you need to turn on your sarcasm detector...

Hahaha... suck it, @Mike!

You could make the argument that the plus for the argos here is they get to see if Fajardo is for real... Ricky is not the long term solution so if Fajardo takes the reigns of the starting job with Ricky out... he may never give it up...

He's "advertising" a CFL blog... and when you click on the link, you get a CFL blog... not sure why you have such a problem with that... If you don't want to read another CFL fan's thoughts on the league... don't read it... Personally, I think we should be encouraging independent CFL bloggers....

It almost seems like this is a bit of a relief for both sides... Addison can now move on to some sort of real career... and the Bombers move on from a bad pick, erase his salary from the books and start focusing on guys like Coates and Wolitarsky... Good for him... hopefully he finds a nice career post football...

I watched some of the game and I specifically remember Singleton getting a sack... not that it matters just wanted to point that out...

I'm pretty Bey, pronounced "bee" is the Beyonce thing... and BAE is what we all dream of waking up to in the morning... Bacon And Eggs... but what do I know... cell phones weren't even a thing when I was in high school... and I'm one of the younger ones on this board!

I completely agree... but one problem... when is the last time this squad has played a complete 60 min game? I used to joke that the terrible seasons were so much less stressful... 2013 for example... I went to every game expecting to get blown out... if the game was moderately close it made it that much more fun!

Just came a across this YouTube channel... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxzzanTaBBNwZqPdLmxFr5w I would definitely consider this one a must watch:

Imagine a world where a 2nd grade F is the most dirt the press could dig up on a president elect...

Now I understand all of his Rider predictions and conspiracy theories... http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/saskatchewan/rod-pedersen-opens-up-about-addiction-1.3768641 All joking aside... good for him, it's always nice to hear a positive recovery story... and then see him go on to help others... I have gained a new level of respect for Rod Pederson (the man, not the football analyst )...
