Give those 2 guys those extra games/years worth of stats and Simon would be a distant 3rd, but still exceptional...just not the best That's kind of my point though. Pitts' last season was "only" 1k yards and he clearly wasn't the player he used to be. Give him a couple extra years at the age Simon finished his career, and consider the downward trajectory he was on, and I'm not sure he finishes much higher in total yards than Simon did.

I mean **** Stegall put up big numbers with Kevin Glenn... Only real top guy Stegall had was Jones for a few years and they broke the record book... Stegall and Flutie would have been unfair.

I think we are giving Denmark a bit too much credit for his work over half a season last year. There was a reason he was released going into last season and he has not been getting open consistently this season. He was a very average receiver for much of his career.
Goalie Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) An average receiver probably doesnt play over 100 CFL games in his career. Denmark is a good player... Hes consistent. You cant have 5 superstars receivers on your roster or if you do... You will have bigger holes elsewhere. BC is a good example.. Pretty solid group but that Oline is swiss cheese.

I'm using him as a lesser QB who was still decently dependable lol. I wasn't putting him into a level of Dickenson or calvillo. meant it as like.. a step up from Glenn but not a huge leap.

Agreed. Very unbalanced on offense in terms of where the talent is spread around. And FWIW, I'd have taken a prima donna like Burris here over Pierce, Elliott, Brink, Goltz, Hall, Boltus, Brohm, et al. 8 days a week. rebusrankin, Wanna-B-Fanboy, TBURGESS and 5 others 8

Oh no I am not giving Denmark credit simply for last season, I've been a fan of the guy his entire tenure here. He's a very consistent and reliable target. I'm also not pumping him up to great levels either, but he's still shown that consistency, where as Adams hasn't, in large part because he was hurt most of last season. As I said before, a few big games last year doesn't put a guy into the highest echelons of receivers, consistently performing at a high level is what does it. Honestly when I look around the CFL there are so many players I would put at the same level as Adams or higher that he's just another american receiver. Everything he does well there are plenty of guys who do it better and more consistently. GCJenks, SPuDS and Tracker 3
Mr Dee Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 Why are we even debating this. We only have one elite receiver, but it took a few years for him to 'develop' until he could play for us. Seriously, even if Adams is considered 'good' at this time, it will take years of playing at a higher level than he is now. He has to be 'feared' by opponents, and he just isn't. It's up to him to take advantage of defenders who consider him 'lite', and I think he has the capacity. Other than Dressler, we have no great receivers, or even someone who has that potential. And I don't know why this is.. Tracker and SPuDS 2

Lions. Irving hopes to be back in action within a couple of weeks and could possibly call next Thursday’s home game against the Montreal Alouettes. Here's hoping Knuckles is back in his familiar spot on CJOB next week. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Sard, Noeller and SPuDS 3
rebusrankin Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 Adams is a good receiver who has the potential to be outstanding but he has not done it yet. Goalie 1

While I picked the Lions to finish 1st in the west this year, it won't be coming off our backs. your 3-0 vs the east but 0-1 vs the west (soon to be 0-2 ;)). Lulay has a stiffer test then racking up big numbers vs a team in disarray (Hamilton) and our pass rush is going to light up that young OL that's still learning as you mentioned. I don't expect us to win by much as the games have gone, but the Bombers match up well vs the Lions as of late
