2021 Blue Bombers Season

[Noeller]

Lokombo over Demski would be a joke. After Lawler, Demski is our best receiver, plus he's a threat out of the backfield. Demski for West Nom in a walk, and should get the league nod, IMO.

Who else could they nominate? That Richardson's Ground Squirrel, Gainer, has been absolute crap all year. 

Dan Clark for most outstanding pylon?

Ed Gainey for Best Trash Talker Who Doesn't Back It Up?

A.C. Leonard for Longest Hold of a Pee Ever?

S. Bryant could be our best hog in the history of our franchise.

Which would make him the best in CFL history..... seems like a bold statement, but I'm super interested in the discussion. Walby himself says Big Stan is the best he's ever seen...

637 yards & 4 TDs receiving, combined with 70 yards & 1TD on the ground isn’t “in a walk” at all. 
 

Lokombo had similar numbers to Adam Bighill. He had a very good year, and will be strongly considered to come out of the west.

How could I have missed Cody Fajardo for the All Time Hitting the Goal Post Award?

Dafuq? He refused the urine test... shouldn't he be black balled like Andrew Harris was last year? I guess that's the way to go. Just refuse the test and everyone just forgets about it...

Career highs for him. On the top team in the league. I'd say his chances to take MOC this year are pretty good.

I'd say he is. The 4 Top Tackles are:      1. Stanley Bryant 2. Chris Walby 3. Bill Frank 4. Frank Rigney

                     The 4 Top Guards are:     1. Nick Bastaja 2. Brett MacNeill 3. David Black 4. Cornel Piper

                     The 4 Top Centers are:    1. John Bonk 2. Bob Swift 3. George Druxman 4. Dave Mudge

I'd pay folding money to sit and listen to Irving and Walby have this discussion over beers (Walby) and rum (Knucks).....

All great players. Guard was the toughest selection as there were other guards who played for us who were outstanding but they only played a few seasons so even though they were great I feel longevity has to be a major factor to be on any All Time position list. Two guards that come to mind tin this scenario that were dominant but only played a few seasons for us: Buddy Brown & Bob Lueck.

He will go down as the greatest lineman ever.

Gittens JR in Toronto has the same numbers as Demski

And in the era of shotgun, 5 receivers and 70+ percent passing, compared to a more balanced, under centre, multi backs, run heavy era Walby played in.  The best tackle in this era is the best ever because the job has never been harder.

You get a like for Bastaja my favourite all time Bomber, and yes Bryant is at the head of the class of all of them

Bighills primary great impact this year is in pass cover. Stats don't come close to telling the tale with him. Also playing on worse defenses inflates tackles. Similar production on an all time great d vs a meh d isn't comparable. 

Honestly moc this year should go to an ol. They don't get nearly enough love in mol 

[rebusrankin]

Actually while their receiving numbers are similar, Demski has the rushing totals, while Gittens doesn't do that. Oh and Demski has played less games and is on a better team.

Great point. I think if he hadn't retired, Matthias Goossen could be in the conversation here.

Yeah, he was developing into a great player. He has a career in law enforcement in Surrey, BC.

 

 

Oh damn, I forgot about Sukh Chung!!! Mr Overpaid Rag Doll.

Remember that Harris was blackballed by the local writers here (3 of 5) which is what the initial round of voting is limited to. So the Sask writers had the sole power to include or exclude Leonard. A boycott could still come. Also remember that Harris was voted unanimously to the West all-star team, so once the voting went division-wide he had enough to get in (everyone in fact, which makes you wonder why the Winnipeg chapter did not continue their boycott for that selection?) but then was black-balled again for the CFL nod and the CFLPA all-star teams. So Leonard may still be eliminated from the all-star teams (plus he isn’t beating Bighill for MODP anyway).

[Stickem]

Refusing to take the pee test and you're in???bogus nomination I say....but then it is riderville where the pee wee's reign supreme.....I hope Leonard is denigrated by the local scribes as happened to Harris....failing that the two faced media over an issue like this will be front and centre....It's in their court
