Stanley Bryant back for one more year

[Blueforlife]

The data is basic aged based regression curves. Wallace is on the way up. Randall too. That's helpful and optimistically they both could be quite a bit better. Bryant is essentially guaranteed to be a little bit less effective year over year. Take what you say last year and knock off 5% or something. Same with Neufeld although you can hide him more and he had a decent year. All in all it looks about the same with a question mark at centre.

Improve at Centre and couple guys step up and we flip the coin.  You claimed Harris was done before he was, the greats age like wine.  You do make a good analysis of the situation.  I expect an average OL that struggles out of the gate.  Not everyone can be as good as Harris was for so long.  A rare breed but one can hope our old fellas have a little left in the tank for likely Zach's swan song.

If CFL rosters were bigger I'd be okay with this. They're not. Especially for American players. Not only is he a year older and slower he's taking up the spot of someone who could be growing into the next Stanley Bryant which is the biggest problem.

I love Stan, but man, Collaros is going to spend another year getting destroyed.

There is no one on our roster who is better than Bryant, so we'd have to go Free agent route, which Wa1ters doesn't think there's a better one out there for the $$ we offered Stan1ey. If and when we decide to rep1ace him, we'11 have to sign a FA to do so just 1ike we did with Stan1ey. I m tota11y good with us re-signing him, age and a11

Yes, Stan got beat a number of times last year. And, I agree he a year old and probably a little slower. So I am expecting him to get beat a number of time again this year. But, I also agree with DD that we haven't developed anyone to take his place.

Everyone gets beat, some forget about how steady Stan is, for everytime he get beat, he has many times unnoticed solid protection.  Yes prime Stan needed double team to get beat but he still can hold his own, for a guy his age, will go down as one of best and longest serving OL ever.  It's kinds like Bouch in Edm, nobody forgets his mistakes but how about that hatty and three apples
