My mom went into the bomber store years ago to buy me a jersey and Moreno was in there.  She met him and said he was a good looking fella so she bought me his jersey.  So pretty much I got his jersey

I hate that ******* ginger with a fiery passion for all he did to us over the years..............but............I respect the hell out of him as a CFL QB.

Stubler is awful. I don’t understand for the life of me why teams would rather a retread like him over new blood. 

Both Steinhaure and Claybrooks defences are based on his defence so it’s easy to have him come in and call plays.

As much as this pains me to say, I sure wouldn't count them out just yet, they seem to have a knack for finding gems when need be. 

Is Nick Arbuckle is the answer at qb? I'd say no.

Probably but they still have the offseason to find someone.

Pickings seem to be lean. We may be thanking our lucky stars we have Nichols if attracting top flight qbs to our league becomes an issue because of the lack of a CBA as well as the new pro leagues starting up.  Saskatchewan & Calgary could be in real trouble.

top flight QB's will not go to the new leagues though...why take a huge hit in pay to play in an inferior product with tons of uncertainty...and then if things fold up, and teams here already have a good portion of their SMS accounted for.. some would be signing back for a huge cut in pay...

If anything save for hamilton right now...and most likely Ottawa....every team is looking at huge question marks and unknowns at the QB position and you could have 3 or 4 teams all fighting over Reilly..Jennings...and maybe Lulay as guys who are starting calibre..)i'm assuming BLM will be getting at the least a TC look somewhere).two of which are big questions marks in themselves as well. and ol Kevin Glenn could be a hot commodity as messed up as that is...we are sitting prety good when you look at the whole picture QB wise and I wouldn't trade our situatin for anyones right now

Lean is an understatement, a CFL rookie QB coming into the league won't make a lick of difference in his first year and only a small dent in his second.  Cgy. better hope they can get their hands on a veteran castoff and reinvigorate him if they want to be in the running for a playoff spot come Oct.

I’m convinced that Claybrooks D is much more aggressive than the bend but not break style Stubler is famous for.

I would think that if Bo goes to the nfl there will be a lineup of second rate qbs like Jennings and Collaras begging Calgary to sign them. They could really restablish their value in the system and supporting cast.

Reinbold and Washington done in BC?

It appears Claybrooks has cleared the deck of all existing coaches including 15 year Lion coach Dan Dorazio as well.

"Also not being offered contracts for 2019: defensive coordinator Mark Washington, special teams coordinator Jeff Reinebold linebackers coach Chris Tormey, defensive line coach Randy Melvin, assistant defensive backs coach Stanley Franks and running backs coach Mike Lionello."

I guess good ole Jeff will have to search for a full time gig on Sky Sports.

Did I miss something?... I thought Stubler was already confirmed on Claybrooks' staff...

He did the same thing to O'Shea remember? Agreed to come here but signed elsewhere. And he pulled a fast one on Dickenson in 2015 when he left the Stamps in a huff (pardon the pun) because he didn't want to work under the rookie HC. I think Stubler felt Hufnagel should have made him the Stamps HC.  Dickenson was going to keep him as his DC but he resigned & joined the Argos as soon as the announcement was made.

I would be interested in Reinbold to coach the teams.  The Bombers need an upgrade there.

He was epically terrible head coach/GM, but a good special teams coordinator.
