He's Darren Flutie level, I'll be happy as hell if he stays in the CFL and doesn't bugger off to the NFL in 2 years.

He's for sure going to get a look in the NFL, probably as soon as next season. Is it wrong of me to hope he fails and comes back here for another 10 years??

I weep that Denny couldn't have lasted long enough for a ring. Maybe not A-List but definitely FIFO appropriate.

....Romby? Not so much.

Mo Leggett, Ian Wild, Taylor Loffler, Chris Randle, there are a few guys that paid their dues in blue and gold that just missed the boat.

I'd pump the brakes just a bit on the claims for Schoen.    Dude is awesome but lets not claim that he's HOF material already. 

Discussion is about guys as rookies, calm down.

Yeah he'll be gone this off-season.

Interesting that he even got up here but probably doesn't jump off the page at the underwear olympics.  Also played at a school that runs more of a heavy set with TE's and FB's, running QB's as opposed to a spread offense where receivers really shine.

Dont look now but Brady Oliveira is only 120 rushing yards away from the league lead....

Sad but then you have to remember he’s played 1, or even 2 more games then every team in the league minus Saskatchewan.

[do or die]

From the upper deck, two things standout for me, about Schoen...

His cuts and breaks off patterns are pretty impressive
He has a 2nd gear, especially when the ball is in the air

Agreed, especially Saskatchewan.

You and I my friend, are on the same wavelength.

Dear lord, does it get any better? Were 8-0 after back-to-back championships, Riders are 4-4 and imploding, and gas at the Husky on Isabel is at 164.9. Good time to be alive!

true, but he seems to be on the upswing, and the leader has played the same amount....and why I don't agree with some in media saying Morrow is a great back...as he is not....Harris played 2 less, but also got bulk of his yards in 2 games...and has had 3 games with 39 yards or less...still not sold on Butler either....If Brady runs how he has last 2 games ongoing...then he is a good bet to be top3..4 in league...he has also had 4 games with 10 or less carries too....and his most is 15...lower than any other backs highest numbers...so if he can get 12-17 carries on average per game, and run like he has...and showed also last yr...I think we be just fine

Have to worry about Brady's health long-term, can't smash and bash like a wrecking ball and not expect a few pieces to fall off.  A.H. does his best to slip or deflect direct contact, were Brady takes it head on, much like Jesse Lumsden his  playing style may shorten his career.

Bottom line is you drive your wrecking ball until it breaks. RBs have short career spans. Not very often you get more than a few years out of them. Comes with the territory. Brady will have a longer career running like a wrecking ball than he would trying to preserve his health and not producing.

Nothing at all like Lumsden.  Lumsden's carries were being rationed starting from the day he stepped on the field at Mac.  He had shoulder problems since he was a kid.

Schoen has had stints on NFL prs with Washington and KC but yeah feels like he is a one and done.

Option window is back, sir. 

We may not get the 2 years.

Dalton strikes me as a CFL player for good. I think he could sit around on a PR in the NFL if he wanted to but he strikes me as a guy who wants to play football. 
 

I don’t know a ton about him but from what I’ve heard, he’s got a bright career after football so this might be his time to play, not collect a cheque from the bench in the NFL.

 

Whatever he wants though, I hope he gets it. 

[Booch]

yeah...he finally earned a spot and home...he may be happy to not bounce around trying to re-prove himself...Walters should maybe re-negotiate a deal with him...pay him a nice amount so it's not like he's making peanuts compared to PR...

Have you heard his interview with Tait and Cameron on their 'Handled Internally" podcast?

He worked his way up from a walk-on and has stated the NFL as "the dream".

From hearing him talk about it, I would think that he'd have the belief in himself to work his way onto a team from the PR, if he got the opportunity.

[Noeller]

If he continues this pace, he'll absolutely get a shot in the offseason and the Bombers will absolutely let him go chase the dream. All the power to him.

Agreed. If he keeps this up he will get a chance. It may be after next year, but it will happen.

NFL PR money for even non tenure players is higher end CFL WR money + the chance to play. 
 

At his age he should be taking it

Schoen had an NFL look once before, I believe.

What makes him think he'll get a legit third shot?? Brandon Zylstra lit this league up for 2 seasons before heading south where he's been sitting on the PR of various NFL teams.
