Quote from: Throw Long Bannatyne on April 25, 2026, 04:35:21 PMPeople seem to constantly equate overspending the salary cap to winning, when has that ever been the case in the CFL?

Well, money does buy you talent.  Talent, on average, will win you more games.

Money bought us Ceresna instead of Vaughters.  Will we win more because of this?  Probably (assuming both stay healthy).  The stats become skewed in your favor.  All Ceresna has to do is perform to his normal talent level.  Vaughters would have to perform above and beyond to get close to Ceresna.

It's a numbers, money-ball type of thing.

You're right that more SMS spend doesn't magically get you cup, but all things being equal it'll sure help.  I think what's even more important in the CFL is being able to have top-level guys on ELC -- meaning good drafting and scouting.  But then again, the reason that helps so much is it leaves extra SMS for you to spend on the $$$ big-name talent...

Quote from: VictorRomano on Today at 01:03:09 AMI'll just point out that Heisman candidate QB Diego Pavia went undrafted. Bombers own his rights via Neg List.

Quote from: ModAdmin on April 25, 2026, 09:58:48 PMHe was a major contributor getting to the grey cups so, yeah, he did earn them.

Better to say he was a minor contributor, in 2019 he was out with injury the entire season, in 2021 he filled in as an injury replacement for Harris but had not yet found his game.  No doubt he's an important part of the offence but so far he has not proven himself to be a game changer.  Maybe if every running play did not mean 99/100 times Brady gets the ball defences would be less likely to key on him.

Quote from: Blue In BC on April 25, 2026, 02:53:47 PMI think an import C might be more likely than an import G even though we have Vanterpool that had some experience.

The team must have some pre conceived notion of how they expect to deploy the ratio. How candidates perform / compete in TC as well as new draft choices make this all TBD.

OL, receiver and safety are all possible ratio flip choices.
Bucky Williams is a good prospect and can play center or guard to give us flexibilty
