SpeedFlex27 Posted 10 hours ago Report Posted 10 hours ago (edited) Suitor reminds me of Duane Forde who reportedly wanted to be a CFL GM but wasn't willing to put in the work to actually be one. He actually thought because he is a TSN analyst that teams actually cared about his opinion. Or that he knew the names of U Sport players he was more than qualified to draft those same players. He wasn't. He never got hired. Same with Suitor. He doesn't have the qualifications to be Commissioner. They need someone who is less of a football guy & more someone who understands marketng, streaming & is willing to try to grow revenues for the CFL. The CFL should actually split the Commissioner's job into 2 separate entities. One on the football side for a guy with deep CFL connections who understands how teams work, understands the league, the rules, roster management, coaching etc. The other for a person to grow the league revenues. It doesn't mean Suitor doesn't have some good ideas. Like abolishing CFL 2.0 Opening up the roster to more Canadians & Americans. As wellas doing things with kids to try & grow the league with the younger generations. The CFl should be talking to different people to get more idea. Edited 9 hours ago by SpeedFlex27

I was the biggest Dobson booster around. I have a great deal of belief still in his talent and upside. No way in hell would I pay him elite money. He isn’t that guy. He struggled as every one did early, and solidified him self really well. He wasn’t consistent enough in pass protection, occasionally getting put on skates. He didn’t step up to compensate for the deficiencies around him or make the guys beside him better. And he didn’t do a good job of getting off/switching and getting to the second level. To pay a guard elite money they have to atleast flash one or more of those 3. Other wise, it’s honestly too easy to replace a Canadian guard who just gets in the way of the D. Wallace flashed the ability to get to the second level really well, as well as being able to help guys by chipping their man and hand checking guys to funnel them to the rt. He didn’t even play that much and as a rookie flashed more than Dobson has in all his time here. if Dobson didn’t want elite money, ideally you put Neuf on the bench as the 6th guy and run Dobson eli Wallace. Id rather us flip a G to imp than pay top dollar to Dobson. Desjarlais was worth the giant pay day, but that’s still a hard guy to work around cap wise. Noeller 1

If we keep letting our young Canadian OL get away then our will line get old fast. And having to replace them takes years as we found out in the middle of the last decade. We had to go to 3 American OL in order to keep our qbs healthy & upright. As well as being competitive again. Dobson is still young & improving. His ceiling is still in front of him. His footwork will improve as will his blocking skills. He hasn't hit his roof yet. If we just keep on saying we won't pay this guy or that guy our young players will leave. Thn where will we be?.

If we just keep on saying we won't pay this guy or that guy & young players keep leaving we'll not be anywhere near the top of the league anymore. It’s true. We need to do a better job of retaining young Canadian talent and ol talent. But we also can’t chase the wrong guys because we let the right guys go. I think Dobson hit a hard plateau last year. He might bust it this year, if he doesn’t I don’t know that he will. I don’t think Wallace needs to progress much from last year to be better than Dobson, with significantly more upside. I think Wallace has potential to be a rt in the cfl actually with a bit more weight loss.
