Only took just over 100 post before some claimed Dickenson>Lapo

And that the clear consensus is that they wanted Dickenson the whole time. 

Tactics comrade, tactics. It was all part of the greater plan. They were just pretending to negotiate with all those other teams.

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 think Chamblin wanted  his coaches back something like a month earlier & Dickenson said no. So, he was fired & went to Edmonton where Chris Jones had just been hired. That was Chamblin's final year as Riders HC. He became dictatorial & eventually lost the locker room. Hopefully, he learned a huge lesson out of all that & will treat his assistants & players in Toronto a lot better. 

Once a dictator, always a dictator.

Look at the admins at riderfans.com. Perfect example of the above. :)

They show how weak they are every time they ban somebody instead of having a conversation.

A direct quote from RF.com

"Given the "new" CFL timing standard for promoting other teams assistants it's quite obvious it's too late for a new OC this year especially as there's likely no one sufficiently qualified for that role on Rider staff now. IMHO, Mcadoo gets the year at least."

Funny how 2 days ago it's easy to just give up your OC to another team and find a new one. Happens all the time. Now it's too late to find one? And this isnt the only person saying this.

Yeah, typical Riderfans.  Criticize the Bombers saying it's just an excuse then use the reverse logic on theirs.

Dickenson became the Bombers special teams co-ordinator after he was fired in Saskatchewan. He went to Edmonton the next season.

They had an election - there was only one candidate - he has their full support.

So happy for Rod Black and Speedy B

Walters probably denied Lapo permission to protect him from being hurt when Sask realized Dickenson was so 'perfect'

I think banks late season injury is going to affect him this season, and his production will drop off

A little slower but he should be fine. Jalen Saunders recovery from ACL tear is more of a concern.

I'm interested to see what he got. Gotta think he'll be the highest paid receiver in the league. 

 

Ellingson,  Dressler and Roosevelt will be interested in what figure HAM and Banks arrived at.

Dressler will not get big $$... he can't stay healthy and is not a 1000 yard receiver anymore

Yes about Saunders,  I was just thinking when watching banks after he got hurt how much in his face you could see how much he did not like the pain.  A little bit of fear can totally throw some off later in their careers

Dressler can be replaced.  Age & injuries have caught up to him. Short term, he can put together a string of 4 or 5 games where he can be dominant but he can't play an entire season which hurts us more than helps us. There are some very good veteran receivers that could come here & be more productive. I think the Bombers should look at upgrading the slot position where he plays.

I can't imagine Dressler or Roosevelt get anything close to what Banks is worth. Both are breaking down and less productive when they are healthy. 

It's possible Roosevelt has another big season in him if he plays in a better offense, but it's hard to see him staying healthy for more than half a season.

Roosevelt will get paid well. Dressler won't be breaking any banks.

I think the only team that will be willing to pay roosevelt will be Ssk. Too many concussions for anyone to pay big $.
