...if there's a God............

 

There's absolutely nothing better in the world than seeing "Rider Nation" *fart noises* in a complete shambles. Here's hoping that anthill gets kicked but good...

Still a remarkable number of Jones defenders. If they can pretend being comfortable with trading away a team-heart and soul starting QB for picks they can certainly entertain Tate whom they previously derided as a selfish flake.

Jones has gone all in in blowing up franchise and his defenders are along for the ride.....right over the cliff if need be.

Over the cliff for sure. Never understood why coaches like Jones have to be stubbornly arrogant to the point of being anal by wanting to bring in "their guys" & are willing to blow up their team to do it. Rather than fielding a team with the best players possible regardless of whether they were with that team or not before the new coach got there. If the Riders don't trade for Franklin then they'll have rookies at the qb position to choose from & Jones will ultimately be fired. Durant would have given the Riders the best chance to win now while trying to groom a successor. Now the Riders have absolutely nothing.

Blowing up seldom works, possibly Chevy's rational with the Atlanta Franchise/Jets.

And just look how well that is working for the Jets 2.0

Funny, the rationale of Jones defenders was that he must have a plan if he was willing to let a QB of Durant's quality walk away. It would seem The Plan is to "wait and see" what happens. 

And this  is what they've put their faith in ?

Jones and the Riders are a complete and utter disaster. This couldn't have happened to a better fanbase.

Really. And why do you think that? Because they're in a rebuild. Hmmmmm aren't the bluebombers doing the same? Last year the Bombers fans were about to run the Coach O out of town until he started winning. Sorry but your team is no further ahead than the Riders. And you still have yet to sign Nichols. So your QB situation is currently the same as the Riders.

Bombers brain trust made the team better. Teams can decline through bad luck, happenstance, financials out of their control or bad management decisions.

The Riders, without Durant, are now worse off, until further notice. And it was a decision made by Jones to do so.

There was no reason not to sign Durant. And Jones blaming him for just a 5 win season??

Two seasons of injuries? Why would you pay someone 400K to sit on the bench. 

 

Would your boss keep you around if you were sick all the time.

All I'm saying is its time to move on. The Riders have a vision. Their vision is to go young. Will there be growing pains, absolutely; however, you're crazy to think Jones doesn't have a plan. The Riders will be ok. Durant hasn't done anything in two years. A lot of us aren't willing to watch him sit on the bench anymore. I'd rather see young talent try and solidify a spot.

"Try and solidify a spot" therein lies the problem. This is a QB driven league.

Riders trade Durrant rather than pay him. Winnipeg paid Willy and continued to play him for half the season. Who can say what is right or wrong?

Ummm, draft picks might give you a clue.
