    IMO Baker Mayfield is another version of Manziel, but without the off field issues. Both are tailor made for the CFL IMO, and both have a lot of talent, but Manziel's off field issues without question are a concern.
    Manziel is not worthy to wear the Double Blue.

    That's essentially why I don't want to see him here. I think he has talent, but I'd rather not see him sully the Argos or CFL name with his off field antics.

    He's not the only one that thinks this. I've heard Naylor, Landsberg, and Lawless bring it up multiple times now within the last week.

    Just listened to this podcast, doesn't sound like the Argo GM situation will be resolved soon.
    Honesly I find their approach to be rather bizarre.

    IMO it just goes to show that Copeland and TanenBELL have no clue as to what they're doing.

    Pretty much what I suspected and said when this ownership group was announced. Often the situation for pro sports teams now = the play-things of rich guys (or corporations) that are clueless clowns with anything to do with the sport they are involved in.

    It's a video that is on endless replay with the owners often expecting the community to subsidize them through paying for their expensive stadiums.

    If you had said at the end of the season that both Barker and Milanovich would've been gone none of us would've been too surprised. But imagine finding out back then that the Argos would not have a coach or a GM in time for free agency? We would've wondered what kind of gong show are they running?
