Who is untouchable with the rebuild?

Kelly has been clean two years. I used to hate him also but I really like winning and really Rourke, Alexander and Kelly are going to be the ones winning cups for the next few years. With Kelly being available you have to find a way.

Unless the Bombers fix their Offensive Line woes, it won't matter which QB they poach - they won't be able to provide the required 3 seconds of protection, and any of these QB's performance would dropoff unless they had a super-quick release (on every play?) or were extremely scrambly (which increases their chances of injury).

Agreed.  Especially since we may not have any choice but to stick with Dru (or Zach -- but same problem).  Unless we get a mobile QB, we need to get back to the days of having the best OL.  Then take a page out of SSK's 2025 playbook and understand we can skimp at REC -- both $ and ratio.  I think SSK's woes this season are partly caused by a worsening of their OL.  That short-only no-mobility scheme only works with the best OL.

I thought Sask's O-line has been fine. They lost Meyers to the NFL, all their other best receivers have been out with injuries, Thor has been injured, and Harris is a year older.

I think Alexander or Rourke would instantly make our O-line look better. But they will not be available. So I agree that beefing up the O-line as much as possible is the way to go. Having more high draft picks would have helped start the process, unfortunately.

Remember Michael Reilly with the Lions?
