The problem with the Bombers is "with scouting new talent" and this comes under the GM Kyle Walters responsibility. His job is to select someone that has a good eye for talent, and we have not been bringing in anyone good for a long time.
Right now Danny McManus is the head of US scouting ( under Walters) and McManus also has the title of assistant General Manager. How many decent quarterbacks have the Bombers brought in over the last 10 years. I can't think of any
Also their defense is very porous, and we need to start recruiting talent, and someone that knows talent. We got Nichols from Edmonton --and he's not bad. I don't think McManus knows what's going on with US college football, and that's a "must."
I say McManus has had his chance, and fans are getting fed up with mediocre results and want to see a good team put together. McManus has had his chance, and it's time to hire someone else to do this job for US scouting. I hope Kyle Walters gets the message.
All the decent guys we've got like Andrew Harris, Medlock, etc --are all proven players hired from other CFL teams, but we're not bringing in our own new young guys. This is where the problem lies with the Bombers.
NOTE- The reason why the Winnipeg Jets are successful, is because Kevin Chevaldaof is an excellent judge of people, and he has hired excellent scouting personnel, who can assess talent and report back to him, and build a team with a long term plan. It's working great, and the Jet's are hitting on all their "draft picks." What are the Bombers doing here ?? - nothing !!!
Whe are we going to see a change in our US scouting department ?? when ?? and if we don't Kyle Walters should lose his job. Look how good that guy has done from Saskatchewan--Chris Jones -- he was hired from Edmonton, as the new coach and GM, of Saskatchewan, and he's done a great job. He's bringing in new talent, and coaching them right.
We need change, and someone that's going to be held accountable- "we need talent" Get with the program Walters !!!
