That's true. I was more referring to Calgary losing other star players like Micah Johnson, Davaris Daniels, and even Lemar Durant. And I'm not sure if they have the cap space to pay Alex Singleton if he doesn't catch on in the NFL. But you are correct in that their recruitment has been top notch that they've been able to offset those losses with cheaper guys.Belize City Lion wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2019 12:29 pm
Calgary is paying similar money for BLM, but they already had depth. If you recall in 2018 the Stamps suffered an endless parade of injuries, including their entire receiving corps., and yet Huffnagel always had someone who could step up and fill in. Huff & Dickenson spent years building that team, including developing BLM from raw rookie to league MVP.
Meanwhile, BC has Mike Reilly and not much else. We are in year two of the purge by Ed(monton) Hervey to get rid of nearly everyone who could be considered one of "Wally's guys" and replace them with any warm body that had so much as a cup of coffee in "the city of champions".
Hervey has spent a lot of money on free agents, and that's because we haven't been able to recruit our own talent. We are purging the old guard, but are the replacements any better?
