Do we know if Alexander at safety was his call, or Hall’s decision before he took personal leave? I am guessing that would be a Jordan Younger suggestion BigBlueFanatic 1

Riders suck. We just sucked way worse on O. Yeah this is an odd point, the Riders scored more points in this last game against us than they did in either of the LD or BB. TBURGESS 1

B-F-F-C Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 4 hours ago, blueandgoldguy said: It's not as simple as that. From his days in Baltimore to the early days in Montreal Popp found high-end talent at most positions. Montreal had one of the best o-lines in the league for most of his tenure, some of the best receivers, top corner, top linebacker, the best running back of all time and top Canadian talent. Sure, he had Ham and Calvillo, but for them to reach their full potential Popp had to surround them with high end talent....and that he did. Towards the end of this tenure with the Als, it was apparent he was no longer bringing in the talent he once did...not just at the Qb position. Whether that was a result of his contacts drying up or a lack of drive, I do not know. This did appear to carry over to his tenure with Toronto. Two consecutive terrible seasons with some of the worst defense we have seen in recent years. I completely disagree. I doubt he lost his touch in finding talent. The common denominator is the QB. I don’t care how good your supporting cast is. Without a really good QB. A good coach or GM can look like the 2nd coming of forest Greg. J5V 1

Its not so much losing the touch, as prospects and the game change. he doesnt seem to have kept up to date. I doubt he is ruined, but he is damaged goods right. Itll be tough for him to get his next GM job in the cfl. I could see him taking a lesser role.
DR. CFL Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 The challenge is not only having a good starting QB...it is also supplying your coaching staff depth across the roster and especially depth at QB.....and if you haven’t Got it you better figure out how to get it. That is the difference between being proactive and reactive. Did Sask and Hamilton just luck out st QB depth...maybe but the fact is they had it. J5V 1
Brandon Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 I'd take Franklin for a late late round draft pick. I'd only want him as a warm body in case of emergency. ZC is a useless move, the guy is one hit away from being completely scrambled. MBT while insane at least is healthy and at times can move the ball. J5V, TBURGESS, The Classic and 1 other 2 1 1

He may only last a single play like he did this season with the Riders. The risk is too high. J5V 1

This is why I wanted the Bombers to give meaningful reps to back up QB's when the time was right...... Nichols never achieved more than the " game manager " moniker.

Fatty Liver Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 31 minutes ago, Noeller said: Why would they make this announcement? They have some decent players on their roster to build up with, why announce to the world that they're ready to trash what they have and start from scratch with no assets. T.O. doesn't need another complete rebuild they need gradual improvement spurred by a good O-Line and a decent QB. It's a good thing they brought John Murphy on board, at least he knows what he's doing, I have no use for Pinball and his yammering gullet, can't build a team on inspirational catch phrases and hallelujahs.
Zontar Posted October 9, 2019 Report Posted October 9, 2019 All Sanchez had to say was Bombers and Argos are talking..that's it.
