I am happy to join my fellow Bomber fans in welcoming O'Day and Dickenson back. Enjoy 5th next season.

I don't see anything about that,

1) Marcus Brady was a truly awful back-up QB in the CFL...... I have no idea what kind of coach he'd be.

2) Comparing Rourke and his bum foot to Streveler and his injury in 2019 is laughable. Rourke is a good QB, make no mistake, but Chris Streveler is a Manimal. He's not fully human. I personally don't believe Rourke has the internal (or external, for that matter) strength to do what Strevy did in '19. 

Playing & coaching are two diffrent things entirely. Brady might be an innovative guy suited for the CFL.

LOL. Hearing that quote from the evaluator reminds me of those scouts from Moneyball. I wonder if Rourke has an ugly girlfriend.

best news ever in reards to the Riders....they gonna make Mass the fall guy...bring it the useless Lapo system, and basically misuse multiple guys, and just be the same ol middling team...probably worse as I bet a lot of the quality guys still there are gonna bolt.

And looking back to 2019...which is eons ago in sports yrs as a barometer is funny, and pointless...If anything that should be the reason to get rid of both...they took over a team on the cusp...and drove it into the toilet....didn't address the obvious issues, brought in a bunch of poor character guys to make things worse, poor drafting and free agency strategy, and then when they had this mess...let it fester, didnt nip things in the bud and allowed it to get worse a deteriorate to what it ended up as...so stay the course?..good god...I love it

If they using this yr as an excuse yr or Mulligan cause the "faj injury" all the distractions from the idiots on the team...missing Dan Clarke....then they in for a lot of struggling next yr too....

His offence was far from innovative in Indianapolis. I’ve never seen a team in the NFL achieve less than the sum of their parts.

Never followed Indy. They're one of about 20 non descript teams no one cares about.

I love Khari but if he ends up in Sask that will be on hold.

I think in @GCn20's suggestion about platooning QBs... Rourke = Collaros and VAJ = Streveller... both significant downgrades (with Rourke's injury)

No doubt about that. Not the same at all, but I see no chance for BC to win with Vernon Adams.

and all 3 probably high fiving each other and happy as heck

[Bubba Zanetti]

Maas and Fajardo were a poor match from the get-go. Destined to fail.

Maybe- but given LaPo caping for CD and JO this past weekend I think he is more likely.

He has already coached there.

Now... if we can only get them to re-sign cofaj to a multi-year deal with huge upfront cash and a guarantee for 1/2 of the final year salary... that would be best.

It sounds like that is not off the table. In fact- I bet it is the front runner of options. I’m sure LaPo loves a run first QB who can only be good on short throws. 
 

I don’t think BLM has any interest in going there.

I know and my love for him was put on hold during that tenure as well.

[Geebrr]

“Craig is an excellent coach, a strong leader and truly represents the values of the Saskatchewan Roughriders,” said general manager and vice-president of football operations Jeremy O’Day in a statement.“

 One of these statements is accurate - and it isn’t the first two. 

[Geebrr]

“Jeremy is a lifelong Roughrider, who cares deeply about the success of the organization and knows firsthand what success means to our fan base,” said president and CEO Craig Reynolds.”

-Nope, he started his career with Toronto. 

“He is a proven winner throughout his career, and I wholeheartedly believe he has the talent, knowledge, and vision to move forward and build a winning team in 2023.”

-Nope, he hasn’t won anything, and made the roster he inherited worse every single year he has been the guy.

 

Love the retaining though. Don’t get it twisted- this is purely a staff SMS thing.

Can't wait to see the continuation of the dumpster fire next year...

You HAVE to think that the L(k)s will be better? Could the RIders finish last in the West?

absolutely possible. I mean, even if we believed that O'Day was going to do everything right (no precedent for that) you can't make that team serviceable in one off-season. That OL needs to be completely overhauled, they need a QB that doesn't suck (and neither Faj nor perma-buggered-shoulder BLM is the answer) and they need to dump poor-attitude garbage in favour of good people who can also play football. They're not AS far off on D, but that O.......pewwwww.

Lots can happen in the offseason but I don't see the Bombers dropping off that far. Not with what we have. 

Calgary? They're too good at staying "good enough". So, I don't see that. 

BC? Yeah, maybe. Lose some pieces and could drop. But, to the bottom? That would be a hard fall. 

L(k)s? Anyone's guess, really. I bet they fight it out for 4th/5th in the West with the Riders. 

We'll see.

LOL @ Michael Ball’s  “big shake-up” that amounts to the bare minimum 

[Geebrr]

Michael Ball has to be the least connected/reliable PBP guy in North America.
