Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Retiring QB's?

Last post by Blue In BC - Today at 08:19:02 PM

Can you not see with your own eyes Rourke is an excellent investment in the future? A much wiser investment than paying Collaros $600k at the tail end of his career.

It doesn't change the fact that it's a lot of money and it takes an entire team to win anything. SMS aside there is always the risk of serious injury to any player. IE: Kelly in Toronto for example.

I'd also point out I had the same argument when the Lions gave Reilly about $700K a few years back. It gutted the rest of the roster.

That may or may not happen this time with the increase to the SMS but it's obvious less for Rourke means more spread across the roster.

Collaros getting his $600K+ also had a negative impact across the roster.

Earlier I mentioned that the top 4 paid QB's didn't make it to the Grey Cup.

If it was a done deal, as you say, O'Shea would likely hang around TO today for an official announcement by the Argos. 

True. Maybe he wanted to discuss with his family before formally pulling the trigger but you think he would have done that before he jumped on the plane for the interview.

Single Day Team Party Passes
Friday - $134 / Pair   
Saturday - $134 / Pair 
Selling at cost only.

I know I'm a little late to the group but would I be correct in assuming that these tickets are all gone?

Looking for a pair for Saturday for a friend.

Well, I guess that tells us what they think of Adams and Persons, they got pushed out the door like Habba, Garbutt and Fox. Can't say they ddidn't give them enough time to prove themselves, but I wish they were more efficient and reached the conclusion quicker.

I m thinking its a done deal, but I also think they'd interview Orlando Steinhauer as well.

there is a league media ban on announcements from Thursday to Monday to give the Cup full limelight, I am thinking we hear either tonight or Monday. If Argos woo MOS away from us, which I think they will, I'd be calling Orlando asap

Pretty sure the CFL had a ban on media releases leading up to the GC, the conjecture is distracting from the event. Ottawa should have held their tongue on the Dinwiddie hire till after the game, that move got the ball rolling.

Did the CFLPA do away with their player survey rating their own teams and facilities or does that come out after the GC?

I really like how Robustelli plays and would like to see the Bombers go after him.

Especially if Schoen can't come back, I'd be surprised if the Riders don't find a way to hang onto him.
