I'd think most people in the know around the league would offer more money to Ford than Streveler. I know Walters would.

Streveler had opportunities to be in NFL camps before coming to winnipeg in the first place and then he actually got multiple NFL shots with multiple NFL teams including actually playing qb in regular season games.... meanwhile Ford has had questions about whether or not he can actually be a cfl qb... but yeah Ford had a higher ceiling that streveler. Get the **** out of here.

Ford is three years younger, has a better career TD/Int ratio, a better yards per passing attempt and a better yards per rushing attempt. I'd say @SpeedFlex27's point that Ford is a better prospect can be easily argued.

For the record, I'd rather have a prospect like Brown than either as my #2.

[Doublezero]

Adam Bighill wins the Tom Pate Award - well deserved! Says he still plans to play football after recovery from torn ACL and knee surgery. 

Hmmmm .... Eye test says Bighill's most effective football days are obviously behind him. Assuming both players return, can he re-claim the starting MLB job over Tony Jones next season? Jones seems to be settling in at MLB and also is a demon on special teams. Thoughts?

Pfffft you can use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.

But seriously those stats in isolation don't say much when streveler has been handcuffed so badly by being asked to play glorified fullback. His first year when they let him be a qb his tds to ints were very good, it was after when he was made into a gimmick it all suffered.

He may have had the potential to be a legit starting QB after 2018 but that ship has passed imo. You could see his struggles passing in 2019. Heck he struggled enough that year after Nichols went down that we went out and got Zach.

Thoughts widely shared the past 24 hours on this board. Tldr... Time to coach.

Just want to add... maybe U Sports is where LaPo will land as a HC. He could probably last at a university until he was ready to retire. That would be a sweet gig.

Doesn't look like he's interested in Usports.  With Dobie retiring from the Bisons, he'd be a great candidate for that spot but he confirmed he was not pursuing that job.

Whoop-de-doo, so Dinwiddie is a bit of an ass kicker, some asses need kicking.  Could be why he's led the Argos to a 46-22 record in his tenure and won the GC in his second season as HC.  That's pretty damn good compared to most coaches.

He always looks remarkably angry, even when he smiles.

I'm thinking Pete Costanza. If not Khari Jones. Just not LaPolice, we already know what we expect from him.

Not a Grey Cup goes by without a rumour of someone leaving the Bombers. I’d wait and see on this one.
Remember last year Walters was for sure leaving? Or MOS was going to get poached by Edmonton to be GM/HC after 21? 
 

I mean, losing Buck would be far less detrimental than those guys but the point remains.

Not sure if this is legit or not......?

 

 

Speculation still but it's not far-fetched to happen. 

Buck could bring in J.Jackson as his OC. Simon could also leave Elks to be am Asst GM in BC. Phillips stays as DC. 

Hervey could be the Elks GM and Campbell as his HC. Maksymic could tag along with him to be the OC. Shivers can stays as DC.

Riiiighttttt, shifting eyes quickly side to side with a confused look on face, but the fact remains the Argos suck and will always suck.

He looks like coaching in the cfl has aged him 20 years already

Buck would make more sense after he decided not to leave after ‘22 and ‘23, might feel more ready now… plus has ties to the Lions organization.

My experience tells me in some cases your thoroughbreds are your jackasses and in other cases your jackasses are dressing up as and pretending to be your thoroughbreds.
