Exactly. We'll see Arbuckle turn into the exact same qb as Nichols under LaPolice.

Prove me wrong?  How come Nichols isn't back and was replaced by a guy with only a few starts with our team?  

Yep, cut your first Grey Cup winning qb in 29 years. See ya, Zack. Thanks for stopping by.

Lapo and Nichols are Game Managers together...

Richie Hall was a bum until we had WillieJ and Bighill - maybe Lapo and Nichols win the lottery too

Ritchie Hall adapted. That's the big difference. Yes he got a talent upgrade, but he also made some changes. Hall was never a guy afraid of adjusting, he just really did get a bit passive at times, but was capable of adjusting. Lapo never changed.

In one sense I am glad lapo never changed because we finally got the cup.

the more time he gets with a qb the lower their numbers get. How many times to I have to explain these things to you people? 

You watch, Ottawa is going to be a team that barely loses most of their games cause that's the Lapo way. 

He's not a new entity in the CFL, He's been doing his thing since 2002. We've seen it time and time again. 

I 100% agree this is going to happen. Lapo loved to make every game come down to the last 3 minutes with a 50/50 chance at winning. Ottawa is going to win 6-7 games, lots of their losses are going to be under 5 points giving everyone feign hope. People will say it's the beginning of a turnaround, but it won't happen.

Although I'm also of the opinion Nichols couldn't navigate the pocket and had a popgun arm with no mobility and couldn't hit anyone in 10-15 yards.  

I'm playing both sides of the argument so I always come out on top.

Coaches make names for themselves because they have the talent around them to execute their systems & win. Coaches that don't, lose.

Man, I miss the days when our biggest problem in the world was Matt Nichols not throwing for 300 yards.

I’d pay $$ to see a check down to Harris right now...

I have so many questions on this response....

1. When did we start Harris at LB in this scenario?
2. Is it still a check down if the pass from Nichols is intercepted by a former teammate?
3. Who are you paying in this scenario? The Argos, Nichols (bribing), the Bombers? Me?
