Last post by Blue In BC - Today at 02:04:17 PMQuote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on Today at 01:28:09 PMI hate that, guess he realized he was just wasting his time. The Bombers are the worst at bringing along QB talent, every year it's a new shot in the dark.
Yeah, QB is the toughest spot to show enough early to survive long in the CFL. At this point I'm not even sure Wilson lasts this season. He could be anything from the # 2 QB to cut before TC. Going into the season with 2 rookies is not optimum but it's all TBD.
I have some hope about Perkins but I could say that about a new QB every season. lol

Last post by blue_gold_84 - Today at 01:15:22 PMIs the tank back on? Sure looked like it last night.
And that's barely noteworthy, IMO.
The Jets have squandered quite a number of first rounders in the last decade. It's not a flattering look for an organization with the second longest tenured GM in the league, especially when you consider the lack of playoff success.
Quote from: Jesse on Today at 01:57:25 AMThe only first rounder since 2016 to even make the roster has been Cole Perfetti.

Last post by JockitchwithRich - Today at 04:03:23 AMJust was not an effective outing at all.
HellB kept it from being a complete embarrassment
Our top line and best dman were all a -3

Last post by Jesse - Today at 01:57:25 AMQuote from: theaardvark on March 10, 2026, 11:16:23 PMChevy hasn't stunk with mid first rounders, higher picks seemed to not work out as well... not that I prefer to pick 13th, but JM44 has been solid, and KC81 is a solid 17th pick...
KC was drafted in 2015, Morrissey in 2013. The only first rounder since 2016 to even make the roster has been Cole Perfetti.
A) That is very stinky
B) It's actually worse since all the drafts 2015 and prior (where we drafted our entire core) were handled by Marcel Comeau. Since he retired, we've had a decade of nothing.

Last post by blue_or_die - March 10, 2026, 05:12:05 PMI never really thought of going 3 Nat rec but the argument is really good.
- Demski "doesn't count" since he plays as good as any star receiver
- Nield showed very well last year and if he builds on that, can become a top Canadian receiver perhaps
- Fifth receiver is a role player anyway and there's one ball to go around and no ball to go around if the QB is getting sacked constantly. Clercius looked good to me in his first year but didn't seem to be used very well last year. Let's give Condell a chance to position him to showcase his strengths when needed and make that progression from his first year
I like the idea of doing whatever it takes to getting back to having an elite OL again. We sure missed it last year.

Same here. They've all but squandered that opportunity barring some drafty lottery miracle.
