Cmon man....look at those wins. Can't get too excited about this team. Not yet anyway
Great game!
Nice to see Dieter Brock in the Ring of Honor.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Yes, I was just going to say - I like everything about the trades except the timing. Now Willy's going to be extra motivated.
Bombers just turned a potential problem into a 1st round pick. A+ moves.
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.

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