sounding more and more like when (if) Wild comes back it will only be for the stretch run...

that's kind of what I was thinking... more than just money and talent, locker room presence, character and leadership play a major role for O'Shea... not to say that Walker doesn't have those qualities but Dressler is a fixture on this team now and the only thing keeping him off the roster when he returns would be his own decisions (if for some odd reason he decided to retire or something)....

We've seen the team make some questionable (at least in the fan's opinion) decisions in the past... but I can't imagine any way, barring injury, that Flanders and Harris are not in every game going forward...

I completely agree... all I, and a few others, were saying is that he was believed to be pro-ready when he was drafted... the fact that he's not playing much is no big deal at all...

he was considered the most "pro-ready" player in the draft... It was suggested that was one of the major reasons the Bombers selected him... Maybe the narrative has changed now... but he wasn't considered as much of a project a few months ago...

can't help but laugh at a hack like this... Ray Lankford?... you couldn't take 10 seconds to look up the proper name... Penalty aided drive?... maybe stop leading with your head when tackling... and I only recall Nichols making 3 tacklers look stupid on a 15 yard run at the end... no penalties aided that play... Appeared to be short?... the TSN review team and the CFL command center (I know, not the most reliable source) determined it was a TD... but I'm sure some writer in Montreal got the real exclusive... haha, what a clown

Translated: we don't want to impeach the president b/c we are concerned it might upset our Nazi voter base... this is a real thing and it's 2017...

Ryan Fry might be short.... but I wouldn't call him little! (I'm assuming that was Wade's description) The only really stupid thing about THF has gotta be putting both teams on the same sideline... it just looks so peewee...

Whoa... save that for Mrs BigBlue...

I'd probably cut Bruce Johnson... Seriously though, no one here knows if the Bombers have the cap space to sign a guy like him... but we do know that Kyle Walters is a diligent cap manager and if there's a way to get it done, he'll find it...

Yeah, we're agreeing on the same point... I just noted that drafted RBs early "re-started" in the 2015 draft with Gurley and Gordon, not 2016 with Elliot...

Wally was in Calgary at that time.... Adam Rita was the Lions HC...

The Rams actually "reset" the RB draft market the year before by taking Todd Gurley 10th overall... and Melvin Gordon went 15 or 16 to San Diego that same year...

I never said he wasn't a bust... I just said he had a good rookie season... the numbers don't tell the whole story... I remember he had decent vision and amazing power... then it all just went away the next year...

too bad... he seems like a great Teammate/locker room guy... also thought he played pretty good in his one and only game last year.... but he played in 1 game over a year and a half, so not really a huge shocker...

You forgot to mentioned that he was stoked about signing in the IFL... or something that definitely wasn't CFL... Pacman has actually had a very good career, despite his continued off-field issues... Richardson, many will forget, actually had a very good rookie season... I don't care to look up the stats but I think he may have had 1000 yard behind a very good Cleveland O-line*... *another fun fact that many forget, Cleveland had one of the league's best o-line for many years... if only they could have upgraded their QB, receivers, running backs, full backs, D-line, linebackers, corners, safeties and coaching staff... they might have had a pretty good team...

yeah, I saw that one later last night

It is incredible that it is 2017 and there still people this ignorant... a lot of people, sadly...

As great as Medlock has been, he doesn't get into FG range himself... so I would look at Harris or Nichols... Harris has certainly been spectacular but Matt Nichols is the leader of the offense and the leader of this team... I think I would lean towards Nichols... however if Harris gets to 1000/1000 it could be close... Solution: Nichols MOP, Harris MOC

me inglish not the goodest yesterdays...

I think in the 5 years we've been together she's driven about 4 times*... this was not one of those times... *very likely I was drunk and she has been pregnant for the past 7 months...

Since Power Rankings are not necessarily indicative of the real standings... and it's more of a "who's playing the best right now" kind of ranking... it wouldn't be absurd to actually rank the Bombers at #1 right now... that being said, Calgary at #1 makes sense and is likely what you will see in every "power ranking" you read...

my mistake... misunderstood the question...

I was actually noticing Leggett in a safety position a lot during the Edm game... especially in passing situations...

I have to agree with you completely on this part... I really don't care what your opinion (or anyone for that matter) is on the Bombers or their players... it makes it that much sweeter/funnier when I hear all the Sask fans saying Nichols is garbage and the Bomber got lucky, etc... and meanwhile, the Blue just keep putting W's on the score board I didn't vote b/c I think the "elite" tag is stupid and meaningless (see post from the first/second page of that thread)... but I'm pretty sure that pole was started some time after the Montreal game... a lot of opinions have changed over the last 3 weeks...
