Quote from: Sir Blue and Gold on February 03, 2026, 05:29:22 PMIt would be nice if CFL rosters were bigger and we could realistically roster a Canadian and American running back.

More competition amongst players leads to a better quality product.

Might be better product for the league, but it would instantly negate our ratio-busting Brady advantage.  And that would instantly make his salary insane.

If there was enough AR for IMPs/DIs "take a flyer" RB guys, then players like Brady and Kramdi would earn half of what they are.

I do like the idea of 1 or 2 extra IMP DIs on AR (by expansion), just like BinBC, but not so many extra DIs that they can be tossed around for such frivolous uses as this example.
Never go full Johnston!

The only way a dude like Taylor cracks the AR mid/longer term is if he is a RB-mostly but who can also catch and run routes.  Think McCrae.

Cooley never lasted because he stunk as a REC and Brady got healthy.

Now find an IMP RB who can be even more McCrae than McCrae -- almost to a Demski level -- and THEN you can AR a IMP RB.
