I said it b4 not impressed with Desjardins..AGAIN

[laughinghard]

PLAN A

Game 1 - Start Maas
Game 2 - Start Maas
Game 3 - Start Maas
Game 4 - Start Maas
Game 5 - Start Maas
Game 6 - Start Maas
Game 7 - Start Maas
Game 8 - Start Maas
etc.

PLAN B

Game 1 - Start Maas, same old, same old
Game 2 - Start Maas, same old, same old
Game 3 - Start Maas, same old, same old
Game 4 - Start Maas, same old, same old
Game 5 - Instead of firing Taaffe - Start Butler

I love it when a plan comes together!

The addition of Butler doesn't make us better. It only confirms Eakin won't be starting if Maas is same old, same old.

Williams is the big loser in this trade.

I went a bit to far in my post earlier, but i’ve just been frustrated with the way the team has been run lately. DJ is a great player & i guarntee you that if you kept him around & made him a #1 reciever he’d have a better year, you cant judge Flick on hes preformance last year because Maas was terrible, DJ has been an outstanding player for the ticats in the past, They gave up too much for a 2nd string QB.

I dont know though, maybe this clears room for Ryan Thelwell (sp) or even Carl Kidd, but regardless too much has been lost, this cant be a rebuliding year because the fans dont deserve a rebuliding year.

Dear Mr doesnt know how to run a football team:

Hello. I’d just like to say that the more talented players you get ride you of the less chance you have to win. You’ve added talented Linebackers & other players but what you’ve given up is much too valuable.

Today’s trade makes me want to walk into a tim hortons & buy a double double & pour it your face & then start throwing timbits at you, which would cost alot less than it would to buy an over priced Ticket to watch your horrible team play. You trade D.J Flick, one of there best recievers & you get what in return? oh thats right a wannabe Micheal Vick. This makes me sick, seriously go back to Montreal because I personally dont want you here

I can see it now, the ticats are going to end up finishing in last place, but hey whats new right.
Seriously I dont even know whatelse to say. At this rate whats going to come next? You might as well trade Stripes to Montreal for future conisderation or why stop there, I bet you could beauty & the beast special disney edition for Jason Maas,Corey Holmes, Hitchcock, Tay Cody & one of Mr.Young’s top of the line computers & that fat cheerleader from a few seasons ago.

This will be my last post because this team is starting to look like the roof of BC place.

Grow up

hey that fat cheerleader was hot by theway Mr.Young’s make good computers so stop of i will tell him that are make fun of him and get you kick of the forum so stop !!!

[ticats90]

o.k i am getting sick of reading what you fair weather fans who have to sit and comment about what goes on with this organization.I am really curious as to what it is you people are goin to say if this team wins a few games. Now lets reflect on what has happened so far. One we lost our second string qb to nfl europe, so i can see why this trade took place. Two somebody tell me what dj flick did for us last season outside of one good game against edmonton. though i do not agree with trading smith who was an anchor on the oline we got some draft picks out of the deal. You people have to remember that this is the business of the sport and things like this happen and this team is in a major rebuilding stage. So please before you open your mouth and let your stupid fall out, think about why this trade or any decision made during the rest of the off season is made from the organisatins point of view.

2 Time All Star
3000 Yards in 3 seasons
16 TD’s
2005 Nominee for Most Outstanding Player

Overrated? Please explain to me how. Most people on this forum always said DJ was a #2 or 3 receiver at best… we always talked about how we had to upgrade at that position, everybody was thrilled when we signed Chris Brazzell, Terry Vaughn, Brock Ralph, etc.

All DJ ever did was put up numbers.

Dime a dozen? Then why have we struggled at WR for the past 5 years?

I will agree with you in saying that he did put up numbers. But he was the best receiver statistically on some very bad teams. In the CFL, hitting 1000 yards isn’t that great of a feat in 18 games in a prodominatly passing league. No offense to him. And American wideouts really are a dime a dozen. Kahlil Hill anyone?

Let me ask you this question. Name another team in the league where DJ Flick would be a #1 or #2 receiver. And be honest …

• paul

My answer? Plain and simple…

On any team that decides to give him a chance, cause Baressi/Paopao/Marshall/Lapolice sure as hell didnt.

Over 3000 yards in 3 seasons, and averaged 15 yards per catch with 16 TD’s.

I did read it, and I still think it was a stupid move, of all the recievers, u keep BROCK RALPH, when I think he should have bene the 1st one out in the 1st place, no effort, nothing, but instead they release DJ who was probably our most talented reciever, but dont go bitchin at me 4 my opinion every1 has there opinion, im renewing my season tickets again so i have the right 2 say what I think, and im a die hard fan like u probably r and most of us r, and I jzu wanna see whats best for the team. oskee wee wee

I like this trade, we certinally didnt have anyone off the bench last year to back up Mass. That was part of the sucsses of the BC Lions ,let the GM do what he was hired to do and chill.

Wayne Smith had big problems last season blocking. A matter of fact my sister could have made many of the blocks he missed. DJ Flick, gave up on way too many plays.

Good move by the GM. We got something for nothing.To all you nay sayers, wait until camp starts. There is alot of off season signings left. Be patient and give the guy ( GM ) a freaking break.

Are you kidding? DJ was one of the few that didnt give up, and was making plays INJURED until the final play of the season.

As for Wayne? Again, INJURED. Played hard.

Both are still young and as far as im concerned this is a terrible trade for Hamilton… I Welcome Rocky Butler, but he needs to show me A LOT before i am sold on this trade.

Its a salary dump and nothing more.

Who cares that it’s a salary dump. This might be a football team but it’s also a business.

The funny thing about all this judgemnt is people talking about the quality we let go. Who knows that there aren’t a ton of higher quality players being brought in for training camp. I’m pretty sure that Marcel and Charlie’s jobs are dependent on building a quality product on the field as well as fitting this team inside a 4 million dollar cap.
