A day early but Merry Christmas to you all.

The mere fact that Ayers is getting lots of looks, and in limited time showed excellent football skill...I.Q and instincts...plus athleticism out the wazzo....yet wasnt allowed to play and develop all yr like the ROY in Edmonton got to do is further proof that our way has flaws....we stagnate/block guys...favor older player for no apparent reason other than they been here longer.....and or or HC seriously has a talent evaluation issue...we definitely meed to change the way we operate to a certain extent

Even with Ford before he left for the NFL....was apparent he had the skills...tools to develop into a great player.....but never got the shot...and that one is a real head scratcher as we know Smugs likes to favor and over load his starting 24 with excessive Canadians

Counterpoint: he was given a chance to develop and did get a chance to make the roster and contribute and nowngrts and NFL look. 

Player development can look at lot of different ways and just because you have an axe to grind and everything they do is **** doesn't mean you're way is the only way.
