True. You have to be a prophet in order to profit.
Sorry…
I didn’t see Gardner in the Ticats training camp or the exibition game in Hamilton, but had somebody had asked me which Ticats WR looked the best from the game in Toronto I would have said Gardner. I’ve always been a believer in game performance when the bullets are flying so to speak. Maybe there was other factors involved beside what he did on the field, don’t know. I would have been interested to see what he could do in a few league games before letting him go, but then again nobody else picked him up so what do I know. I even thought the 4th string QB they let go showed more game sense then the two they kept as backups…but when a team goes 4-14 the coaches must know what they’re doing, right?
We now hear that Gardner was injured last year. Must have been late during the Argo Ex game because he looked ok to me. I would have thought they would have put him on the injured list until he was ready to play. Something doesn’t add up.
Maybe Charlie was looking at the films and saw what some of us saw but the coaching staff at the time didn’t.
IMO assessing talent is a talent, the ones that have it win (Matthews, Buono ect.)I think Mr. Taaffe is in that category. Good news for the Cats, bad for the Argos.

I don’t know why everybody is so surprised that Gardner looked good last night, its not like you weren’t warned.
