Having Kramdl in at safety is worrisome. Safeties have 3 main assets
1. Read offenses well
2. Makes receivers pay physically
3. Have some ball hawk in them
I'm not sure Kramdl would be anything other than mediocre, while Allen has the potential to excell

Not as simple as you suggest.  You are making a lot of assumptions about how people value and view Kradmi.  I liked him from the start as a football player, his passport was just bonus offer.  I am here to share my viewpoint and I'm not here to save any time and yes I'm long winded and always will be.  The reality is there is more variety in why people like Kramdi then you suggest imo.

You have tried to now over generlize / simplify my opinion of Canadian players, which isn't accurate.  My opinion of players regardless of their passport is generally based on their abilities but I do love to root for the underdog at times.

I have strongly supported Canadian ratio, which for many is one of the pillars of this great league.  Nice that someone liked my original reply which shows some support for my post and viewpoint.

We have completly different viewpoints on Canadian talent which is ok.

Agreed. I was expecting he'd get at least a game. Can't say I'm surprised with how DOPS operates, though.

I have liked him from the start based on what I seen from his game.  Developed into a pretty darn good football player.  I expect that development to continue but he his ceiling is near.

I'll be very happy if he retired here.  He flexibility will likely extend his career.

I celebrate and really enjoy all the Canadians in this great league.  Key reason why I support it and always will.  The community aspects of everything the CFL brings is amazing.

Quote from: Sir Blue and Gold on May 12, 2026, 01:48:01 PMKramdi is essentially a slot corner in the truest sense. He's good at covering speed through the middle of the field which is how we've used him to date. He isn't great in the run game and he hasn't proven (so far) to be very effective anywhere else. People like him because he's Canadian playing a non traditional Canadian spot but he would be in tough (big time) if he wasn't.
