IC Khari Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Good signing, this could be just the ticket as said earlier for a young QB. Lets hope he stays healthy. Also guy looks bigger than I remember in this pic http://www.winnipegsun.com/2014/05/20/bombers-sign-former-detroit-lion-running-back-kevin-smith
BBlink Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Hope he arrives in-shape, trim, and willing to work.
Westy Sucks Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Like most others, If Smith stays healthy and hungry we've got a good one. Liked him in Detroit.
mbrg Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Worst signing ever. I like this signing just fine, but all this consensus is boring.
Logan007 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 I I like this. A lot. I like that Mike likes this... I like that Jimmypop and the unknown poster like that you like Mike liking this. generally I scroll down for the Mike post before i decide how I feel about most things concerning talent for the Bombers. I'm slowly ignoring everyone's posts EXCEPT Mike's, I'm going through user by user. Soon there will only be Mike's posts left on the MBB board for me to read. And that's all I'll ever need. FYI consider yourself ignored from this point forward.
Logan007 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Worst signing ever. I like this signing just fine, but all this consensus is boring. So...to get this straight...worst signing ever...but you like the signing...but you find everyone liking the signing boring. ....ok...so... your not Mike so what you say is really irrelevant. Good day to you sir... mbrg 1
Brandon Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 I think it's a good signing but my expectations are very low still.... the guy was solid in his rookie year and then progressively less productive each year after. From what I do remember though is that he would be more of a Joe Smith type rb , much more strong and can grind out the yards and decent at catching out of the backfield. I wouldn't expect him to break out big runs but he could be a solid guy for short yardage and for blocking out of the back field.
JimmyFartball Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 At least they're tryin', competition for Paris Cotton at RB now
kelownabomberfan Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Hope he arrives in-shape, trim, and willing to work. I agree. Let's hope he doesn't listen to his big brother Onterrio about how to show up for camp. Also, he shouldn't listen to the guy in your avatar either!
kelownabomberfan Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 At least they're tryin', competition for Paris Cotton at RB now As Andy Dufresne said about the CFL in Shawshank - you've got two choices in the CFL, you either get busy living, or you get busy dying. I think under Walters we've finally decided to get busy living. JimmyFartball 1
JuranBoldenRules Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 As long as no one expects a 27/28 year old ex-NFL lamer to carry the mail for 18 games then why not? Very good point, after all ... when's the last time that happened? Sheets had 772 carries and receptions in college. 1 in the NFL. Smith had 960 carries and receptions in college. 721 in the NFL. Hopefully Smith can bring something to our team, but he's high mileage and he's been more Chevy than Volkswagen to this point.

Both brands are pretty terrible when it comes to quality. Every person I know who's owned a Volkswagen has hated it.

Both brands are pretty terrible when it comes to quality. Every person I know who's owned a Volkswagen has hated it. I know a couple people still running Volkswagen's from the late 80s-early 90s that are pushing half a million km's, with not much more than regular maintenance and new brakes. I'd assume newer ones aren't as durable, because no cars made this millennium seem to be.
HardCoreBlue Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Not gonna lie, I'm pretty pumped about this one. Darren Cameron @Darren_Cameron 2m #Bombers announce the club has signed veteran running back @KevinSmithRB. I feel better now at our RB position, at the very least competition to push our existing RB's.

Problem isn't quality on the VW's... it's the ******** things you need to do to actually do maintenance on them. First time I've ever needed a 12 volt battery charger to change my brakes (I didn't have the program to interact with the computer)
Mr Dee Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 First time I've ever needed a 12 volt battery charger to change my brakes (I didn't have the program to interact with the computer) Are you sure you didn't get a Voltswagon?
Jpan85 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Anyone know if Travon Jones has actually signed with Bombers. Seeing his tweets they are kryptic not sure if he has or not. Following them its been like watching promos for a year about the debut of a new wrestler.

rebusrankin Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Excited about this signing. Feel if he is healthy, K.Smith is a great upgrade. Hopefully he's in Clerks Mode though and not Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back mode though. bearpants 1
Goalie Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Really like this signing, was and still am a fan of the detroit lions, actually like all detroit based teams (lions tigers, bears i mean wings) Watched a few lions games when Smith played for them and he was in beast mode most the time. Seems to be a runner who is suited for the CFL, more north south runner here, power type runner, I hope his injury problems are behind him cuz if they are, look out. We may have found something here. If not, well, so be it and there is no harm in bringing him in.
Atomic Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Posted May 20, 2014 Seems like a pleasant young man. http://iphone.tsn.ca/tsnpodcasts/1290_HL_Smith_May202014.mp3

SPuDS Posted May 21, 2014 Report Posted May 21, 2014 Awesome signing.. Hope he looks at it as an opportunity and not a cake walk..
