The funny thing about Mack's draft history was he either picked players that were too good (Muamba, Bilikudi, Mulumba) or guys that weren't good enough (Pencer, Ettiene, Robertson, Poblah)... either way it didn't help the team.... American scouting is a different story...

You're assuming the Riders could have kept Hurl. You can't force a player to re-sign and you can't assume the Riders "let him walk" either. It's certainly a possibility that Hurl told the Riders to sod off so he could try to follow Richie Hall here. Exactly. You can't "elect" to keep a pending free agent. From what I've read they did make an offer in an attempt to keep him. But everyone who ever plays for Sask never wants to leave b/c it's the holy land of the CFL... right???

This is a long thread about sask's back-up QB.... I can't imagine how much they're talking about Brohm over at Riderfans...

I wonder if Sask's interest in him is any indication of Durant's recovery from last year's injury... or maybe it's just insurance... I don't think one injury suddenly makes Durant "injury prone"....

I hope, at least, they have ridiculously overpaid to get him...

That's interesting... I always thought QC would be a good location for a CFL team... I guess that is a major issue...

You'd think that Bomber fans would be the last people this needs to be explained to.... No kidding. Joey Elliot, Alex Brink, Max Hall....that's just the last few years and I'm probably forgetting a couple. All very effective arguments against rushing a QB into playing time. Max Hall would be an example of the problem with signing an "older" QB... Max was already 28 (maybe 27?) when he got here so his window of peak time was closing.... ideally you want to sign a developmental QB at 25 or younger...

More than just protecting Willy... a revamped o-line combined with a healthy Cotton... could give us a dominant run game for the first time in years

Banjo Bowl Saturday night.... Huge thumbs up for me!!!

I like Steve Morley... probably more as a person than a player though (same with January)... I wouldn't mind having him around as insurance if his cap hit is reasonable...

Rider fans after 2013: Cortez is a genius that can produce offense at will Rider fans after 2014: Cortz is a joke with no creativity. He's the reason we struggles after DD got hurt. Yeah... I don't put too much value in Rider fan opinions... especially when someone leave sask...

Are we to assume Knox will be in one of those roles?

I suspect he won't get any offers till a team suffers some injuries...

Yup. That's what was said about us when we signed Stanley Bryant by Calgary fans and Cornish. Yeah, that's the joke... (it was actually said by Federkeil)

I thought Lemar Durant was supposed to be a better prospect than Demski?? Does he have NFL potential?

IMO it's not so much the colour... it's the style... If we had the 70's style uniform in navy blue I think would go over a lot better... though I prefer royal blue

Leggett is too good at safety to be moving up to LB...

Craig Button calls Lemieux a "lock to be a second line power forward"... he also considers our prospects "#1 in the league"...that's pretty exciting... Hope Meyers works out, if we can rejuvenate his potential and get a good player with the 1st rounder this could be a land-slide trade...

-Surely this can't be a serious thread? -It is... and don't call me Shirley...

Sure, let's give it a whirl

Is that Bryant or SirVincent??

Why didn't Walters trade Brohm? Cuz he has absolutely no trade value....

I'm not so sure how accurate this scouting report is...

Totally his choice... just like Banks
