[Guardian17]

Great game!

Nice to see Dieter Brock in the Ring of Honor.

 

[TheDeuce]

Cmon man....look at those wins. Can't get too excited about this team. Not yet anyway

Wow. Six wins in a row and we're not supposed to get too excited?


Tough crowd.

The guy that said there is nothing to do in Winnipeg but go to the zoo? Sure, whatever. Not someone I would make the effort to get up out of my seat to applaud.

The zoos not even that great.

At least our zoo doesn't flood.

See ya Willy!

 

[HannuJ]

crazy trades.

Willy is shipped to the Toronto Argonauts while veteran Kevin Glenn returns to Manitoba from the Montreal Alouettes in a second deal.

In addition to landing Glenn to serve as the No. 2 behind Nichols for a fourth round pick in 2018, the Bombers have acquired defensive back T.J. Heath from the Argos, Toronto’s first round draft pick in 2017, as well as a third rounder in 2018.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

So I for sure called that one. Get a high first for Willy and bring in Glenn as insurance. Smart moves.

 

[surixon]

So who is our long term QB option now? It seems kinda silly to throw the hat in with two mediocre QB's.

While Willy wasn't great this year, this could really hurt if he rediscovers his form from a couple of years ago.

 

[snowkiddin]

Prepare for the Willy lovers drinking the Nichols haterade to say this is a bad trade.

His problem this year was confidence. It was incredibly unlikely he would rediscover his form without a change of scenery.

The long term solution was always going to be a problem that was going to be solved in the off-season.

Your right. He got shell shocked with injuries and needed to be moved so he can regain his confidence. Much the same as happened with Glenn. Matt plays a smart game and I hope all the fans get behind him.

 

[bustamente]

Well this trade is gonna help the Argos pack the place

 

[trebendan]

Yes, I was just going to say - I like everything about the trades except the timing. Now Willy's going to be extra motivated.

the BOmbers have 2 raw rookies as 3rd and 4th string QBs. same as every CFL club.
you just hope they can get some reps in runaway victories down the road

 

[puck stoppa]

Too bad, I liked willy, thought he would get another shot, guess that happens elsewhere now. I'm glad they grabbed Glenn as insurance for the rest of the year. They got to find a stud in the off season for the future, but for now we got depth.
Heath is pretty good, where does he play in our loaded secondary? Another trade coming? Randle maybe?

 

[puck stoppa]

You think he's playing next week? May be too soon and lefevour was good tonight. And Ray may be back in three weeks.

 

[Flair Hay]

Bombers just turned a potential problem into a 1st round pick. A+ moves.

Willy and 4th
For
Glenn and heath and a 1st and 3rd

Not bad, just hope willy doesn't become Glenn when we moved him and we kick ourselves in two years, but for now it's good.

 

[Inflict]

Really happy we picked up Glenn as a backup. There is no way I would have traded Willy without an experienced backup. As for the return, I have no idea where T.J. Heath fits in. On a side note, it is his birthday today. Being traded on your birthday must be weird.

He's good. Two pics today. Who sits? More trades on the way maybe.

 

[razorsedge]

Happy to see Glenn back. Feel better that he's backing up instead of Willy.

Milanovich likes him, and he really develops and gets most outve qbs. This could turn out very well for Drew. Still weird they let Harris go tho as Ray is old.

It's a tough call. Confidence was an issue, and it seemed when Nichols came in everyone felt more comfortable with him. But the reality is Willy is twice quarterback Nichols is. A 'normal' Willy and this team would be untouchable with the way the D has been playing. You can't take Nichols out now that he's won every game, but would have been nice for Willy to get his chance to get back in there and see if the old him was out there.

Man, did you nail this trade!

I like this move. A bit risky, but potentially big payoff.
