Blue Bomber Hall of Famers

bwiser · November 15, 2024, 02:24:45 PM

With the Bombers going to its fifth consecutive Grey Cup I think we will see many of the current Bombers will be inducted into the hall of fame when they retire. Who do you think will get the nod rating from sure things, to might have to wait and on the bubble.
My sure hall of famers are Colleros, Bryant, Jefferson, Bighill and Olivera
May have to wait but should get in eventually Nichols, Alexander,Costilio Neufeld, Lawler, Demski
Maybe but haven't played long enough Holm, Ford

To this point your "sure" bets absolutely deserve the Hall of Fame.

I would put Demski on the sure Hall of Famers list.

Feel a bit sorry for Demski, one of the best Canadian football players ever, but ends up playing in the shadow of Andrew and Brady. It would be great if he could at least win most valuable Canadian in a GC game.

I think realistically Demski needs another highly productive 1000+ yard season to be a sure bet to get in.
Same with Nichols, he needs another outstanding year.

To me the bigger question is who gets Ring Of Honor @PAS. That's much harder to get into.

Collaros is a shoe-in. Even Brady may need another couple of good seasons. Maybe Biggie, maybe Willie. But not guaranteed.

Stanley shoe in ROH. Heck he might be first of the bunch!

Stanley may be the first of these Bombers to get in the hall but Bighill could retire this year so he could get in before Bryant if he does.

Bighill promises to be back.

I honestly can't see him willingly walking away before home Grey Cup. And MOS will keep the door open for him as long as he wants.

Exactly no way Bighill leaves at seasons end. Kinda unreal but ya he'll be back for more.

It may not be his choice. Jones may have won the MLB outright. I wouldn't opposed to seeing Bighill as the rotation LB as a DI. That said, how do you fit in Ayers and Cole as well.

Free agency might decide things for us. All the LB's: Wilson, Jones, Cole and Bighill are potential free agents so SMS and free agency choices will be factors.

Zach was joking last game about Biggie becoming the future CFLPA president, with his history of involvement with the player's union and business skills I could see that happening, following in the footsteps of his ex-partner Soli.

TecnoGenius · November 16, 2024, 06:29:07 PM

No matter what happens you keep Jones. If you can do Biggie as well, great. But Biggie has to be on a no-bonus, high-incentive contract that gives us zero SMS risk if/when he gets IRed.

Kyrie may not be back, and Jones can do WILL with Biggie at MLB.

Lots of questions, but no need to worry about that now. We'll have 4 months to do that in 2 days!

I would like to revise this list, Nichols needs to show a lot more before he would ever be considered a hall of famer.

Nichols has done no more than Chris Randle, both were good-great DB's but neither is going to the HOF or be immortalized on the ROH.
