Not surprised about Morgan, nice to get something for a guy we were most likely going to let walk anyways.

I’d definitely hang on to Nick though. Dude was a beast in his rookie year....

Great breakdown.

Unfortunately I agree with you that Calgary might be the best fit for Ford.

I’d be interested to know what Hervey thinks of Powell because he would know him pretty well from his time in the Hammer. I’m...

[ben_the_eskimo]

Yeah that’s my worry is that we put ourselves in a position where we’re having to throw them to the fire too early. In my mind (and I think most EE fans would agree) we have a clear QB1 and a couple of promising prospects at QB3/4, we just...

[ben_the_eskimo]

For sure, which isn’t a guarantee given the state of the league at QB right now. Not a lot of landing spots for Tre. Calgary could be one, and Hammy maybe but only if they lose Powell…

But on the flip side of that there are not...

[ben_the_eskimo]

Yeah, obviously no one is trading for that contract, I could see someone trading a 7th or 8th like you say for a chance to renegotiate him before FA, but again if he didn’t go for it that team would release him prior to the bonus as well so either...

There’s no controversy, I think pretty much everybody that pays attention agrees Cody should be the starter. But choosing weaken your team while also throwing away an asset in the process is bad management, and I’m saying that as a huge Hervey...

I love that, just good coaching because you gain the advantage by not allowing the D to sub out of their jumbo package. That would have been a great way to work Ford in occasionally.

Same with the reverse where you leave your QB1 in on...

[ben_the_eskimo]

It’s pretty simple. This team needs a QB2, preferably one that is in that 3-4 year range in experience so that you’re not stuck with a brand new guy in the event of an injury to Cody, but you’re also not wasting potential development...

[ben_the_eskimo]

I agree. Especially when you look around at who would potentially be available to replace him and there are no clear upgrades....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Brown would be a great add. I’m surprised at some of the DL signings that have happened before Ceresna. Cannot wrap my head around Robbie Smith at 235 at all but I trust Hervey.

Also, the fact that he’s bringing back the same...

Just off the top of my head, he’s won more pro football games than Powell for starters. ...
