If anyone was ever an automatic FO as opposed to FI, it's Pavia.

I don't follow US ball at all.  What crazy thing did Pavia do...

I'd have no problem with that idea. Although if teams don't exceed the SMS by much it's almost moot.

I wouldn't expect that statement out of you!  You of all people know the value of penny pinching on the SMS.  $18k over doesn't sound like much, but that basically is the difference between an ELC guy and an over-$100k guy.  That might be the difference between keeping a middling up'n'comer vs losing him.

I bet a lot of guys feel a lot better in year 3 if they can get the bump over the magic psychological $100k vs stuck in the ELC rut.

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...

I'll just point out that Heisman candidate QB Diego Pavia went undrafted. Bombers own his rights via Neg List.
