Holy hell the Rider fan take on this signing is hilarious.

1. Laughing at the Bombers for spending money on aging players.

2. Speculation about tax loopholes and cap circumvention.

3. Something about a history of the Bombers being an easy target for agents to bleed money out of.

4. The ludicrous idea that this somehow sets the market for Cody Fajardo!

 

That is all Migs and that other guy.

Incredible. Enough bad takes for an entire fan base.

Can't be sure but that other guy is also Migs imo. He has been known to have multiple accounts on forums before so that it creates the illusion that other members are agreeing with his absurdity.  If I were a betting man I would wager that Cereal Killer and Section 139 at Riderfans are never logged in at the same time.

Chase mentioned this earlier but I wanted to concur, this signing absolutely reeks of "We are all in on winning the GC in our back yard, in front of our fans, to create the greatest party in Manitoba's history".... Here's hoping ZC8 can maintain his level of play a few more years.

I see no reason why he couldn't unless he starts getting banged up.

There are mental health issues over there.

No shame - I will cry happy tears if that happens.

If Big Stan and or Yoshi decide to hang them up after a third cup we need to make replacing  one or both a priority 

[Brandon]

So 3 more years until Strev comes in to replace him

Bombers can't hear that **** tho with 2 cup rings covering their ears. Rider fans are dumb 

Read that hearing Patrick Roy's accent

[Nolby]

I woke up,saw my phone,checked outside for snow,checked the calendar because I thought Christmas cake early,a no brainer and solid stability for the next 3 years. Next should be keeping that oline together as best as possible and this may help bring in free agents in the off season as they see Zach will still be back there for a secured amount of time.

I can't wait to hear Rod Pederson's opinion about how we should view Rod Pederson's other opinion.

Hopefully they will take some of Rod Peterson's questions, from the audience......

No "s" on the end of ears for Patrick.

It is a tremendous extension. Using up our unused cap space I am sure.

This is a very good point. The timing may have been on purpose to use up our remaining bonus cap and leave next year intact as much as possible.

Cried during the players entrance in '19, cried following The Interception last year, and should we be so fortunate as to win at home, I'd probably never want for anything else as long as I live...... (okay, maybe a Lund Pro Guide 1875 with a 90 Honda tiller, but then that's it!)

Zac reaping his just rewards.  34-4 as starter and 5-0 in playoff/Cup games.  The deal is upkeep on the OL.....to continue the required protection.....

[rebusrankin]

I wonder how many other guys have deals to come back already. Zac was a huge one but I feel like there are others coming.

Yep they clearly had cap room if they were working on a deal to bring Lawler back.  Since that fell through, that money can be used for deals like this.

Bombers made the Oline a priority when Walters took over and not since Zach became QB. 

Zach is just benefitting from having an awesome GM. 

[Geebrr]

Add in elite players around him and the best HC and GM in the league

Oh, for sure, I am speaking only to the investment in the oline. Drafting, developing, paying. That's been the priority since signing Bryant.

Roy > Proulx

Low risk, high reward signing. If his performance drops off, you can cut ties.

Happy for Zach. Myself and many others thought his career was over after the Simoni hit.
