wr replacement

[Blue In BC]

Ya, to me Robuste11i is the same type of receiver as Sterns is, pass.

He's 8" taller and nearly 40 lbs heavier. That's a big difference.

[Pigskin]

Robustelli: 6'3" 220. 12 games, 38/544 3 TDs, 14.3 avg.

Sterns:  5'8" 183, 14 games, 48/530 4 TDs, 11.0 avg.

if were looking more for a big body replacement Shemar Bridges 6 ft 4 , 208 lbs might be a good choice. He had significant drop from his rookie year but that may be because of Lawler, White and Kiondre Smith in the same receiving core.
Pair him with cdn reciever Gittens jr or Brisset and its a big upgrade

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

Robustelli: 6'3" 220. 12 games, 38/544 3 TDs, 14.3 avg.

Sterns:  5'8" 183, 14 games, 48/530 4 TDs, 11.0 avg.

I had no idea Robustelli was that big, that's good news, puts him in direct competition with players like Tonmmy Nield and Clercius with the passport disadvantage. 

Whoever said Robustelli = Sterns, is dead wrong, Sterns is slick and efficient, Robustelli is a raw playmaker.

Would be ideal replacement for Schoen.

Meh.  Prima donna.  Wanted to be the highest paid CFL REC.  Thought he was Kenny, then they were on the same team and we saw who was better.

Definitely not a team-first or FIFO guy.  Doesn't seem like a Mafia fit.

Also, he's another home-run hitter, and if we re-sign Wheatie we'll once again already have enough of these.  We need a short crosser guy, not another lanky slugger.

I also worry why HAM almost always chose to make him DNA, allowing him only 23/25 snaps, instead of just starting him legit like most teams would.  Is there something about him that makes him incapable of playing every down?

Also, don't rule Schoen out just yet.

have you listened to Lawler or Lewis, every top reciever has an ego. If you look at the last 4 years I wouldnt be surprized if White has the most yards in receptions.

For sure.  But White didn't have the hands to back it up.  He can't do even 1/10th the circus Kenny can.  Most of White's stats are from home-run hits where he uses his speed, and gets some YAC.  Yes, that's valid and useful, but when you get fast DBs blanketing him he's proven to be less effective.  (What did White do against us in the '25 HAM games??)

Kenny sure talked smack, but that was just Kenny.  And his gumby body control and Burnham hands backed it up.  Excludes his injuries and he likely would out-do White in YDS too.

I've never heard smack from Gino.  He may say he's the best (I don't know) but he is 10X humbler than the above 2 guys, that's for sure.

If I had to pick one to offer $275+ to right now, it'd be Gino.  Dude can take punishment in the middle AND hit homeruns AND his hands are nearly as good as Kenny.  And I bet he's a better FIFO in WPG than the other 2 ever could hope to be.

Lewis has already re-signed in Ottawa, and no way any ones paying White 275 k, but 200k isnt out of question for perennial 1000 yd receiver
