Well if he plays like last year against the Stamps we have nothing to fear. he is getting a little long in the tooth that is why Dickenson let him go. Along with the impending bonus that is
I tend to agree. Although every free agent signing is a gamble of some kind, I don’t see any football commentators or members of the forum writing him off just yet. I think fans of any team would be happy to have him. I would not have complained had he signed with the Bombers. We’ll see.
It’s almost impossible to know the back story to why players are let go or want to move on. As fans we mostly have to trust the brass in charge if making the decision.
In this case with Mace’s relationship to Rose I trust he’s making an intelligent and informed decision knowing the risk vs reward as well as anyone could. It’s certainly not a signing out of desperation as the riders have a boatfull of DL free agents that I presume they could re-sign or are working toward resigning as they see fit.
Any line needs youth for engine and vets for experience and confidence. Look at Micah last year, stud all star at I don’t know for sure, 35? 30 isn’t old if they have the desire to play. Sometimes a player loses that desire on a team for unknown reasons. Happens to every team.
He said it when ask les how the team needs to improve and what he thought of his own play last season. Green wash if you please, but when someone tells you who they are, beleive them
