Oh and by the way, just popped over to Riderfans. Apparently, everything is going to be just fine. Just curious, anyone ever hear if Walters tries to work within salary limits for each position group? Even if he doesn't, the team is limited in terms of what they can pay QB2.

He can't take on being a starter long term as he just crumbles under the pressure. I can stand a lot watching football but one thing I can't stand are players tossing their teammates under the bus while refusing to take responsibilty themselves. Both Fajardo & Evans are guilty of that. The 2019 Grey Cup, wow. I've never seen a qb act like that. We all remember Jim Barker trying to calm down Evans & he was throwing a hissy fit on the sidelines. Barker knew he & Evans were on television when that happened & Barker had this. "What the hell are we going to do about this guy??" look on his face. Then last year with his season going south fast, Evans did the same thing. Hissy fits on the field & sidelines. At 25 sure, maybe he'd change. At 29, I don't think so. He's already reached his ceiling for potential. What you see is probably what you're going to get. I’ve seen players get emotional countless times, but I have never seen an athlete flat out sobbing like that. SpeedFlex27 and Bigblue204 2

Couture has come soo far from the undersized 275lbs guy we drafted. He’s excelled and done every thing you could ask. He came back from an injury you wouldn’t think he’d even practice in the same season as. Eli has next level potential. He’s a type of earth mover that no centre in this league is. No nose tackle can buckle him and plant him on the qbs lap. And he has the mobility to easily get to and beyond the second level. Makes total sense to move on from couture and save cash. This is what dynasties do. It’s tough to see great young guys move on but the next guy up will be great too. Edited February 10, 2023 by wbbfan rebusrankin, JCon, Piggy 1 and 6 others 4 5

JuranBoldenRules Posted February 10, 2023 Report Posted February 10, 2023 Kind of surprised Edmonton paid Dunbar and Lewis.
