I'd hope it's not because of his football ability. He's about as raw as they come. I honestly trace it all back to the one pre-season game where he tipped a ball at the line (did he intercept it or was it just a knock down??) and people freaked out. That, along with the cool name, made people go: "ZOMG! DOUG BROWN 2.0!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I really don't see any holes that we need to fill via free agency. If we can get 1 or 2 starters from the draft then we are in a great position moving forward. If we can get a bargain on a 6th oline guy and maybe a Canadian receiver then that would be gravy for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taynted_Fayth Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I like Marshall, would have likely still been our RB had we not picked up Harris. definitely better then anything they got at RB at the moment wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Flanders was much smoother and had much more speed. Stats wise: Marshall - 4.4 average, longest run was 26 yards Flanders - 6.1 average, longest run was 50 yards johnzo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't have Harris in our sights going into 2016 I doubt we let Marshall walk (although he did get NFL interest upon doing so) but let's say we resigned him last offseason, I still don't think Flanders unseats him any more then he did Harris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall is faster more gifted but was never steady. Flanders is much more reliable and an every down back. Cam marshall is more upside. Not that the riders have the OL or actually run the ball to get that out of him. Its a good talent pick up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I have no prob with LeFevour as a 3rd string/backup. The guy is mobile and has experience. Flanders also returns kicks... I don't remember Marshall doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbbfan Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 http://thehuddle.com/x10/nfl_draft/scout_rpt/qb-dan-lefevour.php http://www.sbnation.com/2010/3/13/1371131/dan-lefevour-nfl-draft-scouting Really like this move. If we got him for no2 money its a great spot. We have a legit battle at No2 and 2 guys who could come off the bench and give a change of pace with their mobility. Showed some nice flashes against us and ham. Kind of an older jonathon jennings. I wouldnt mind seeing us bring in a young qb to groom a bit. MBT isnt under contract and would be the odd man out imop. But all in all really good moves this year. Denmark and a DT then young guys and a good draft. Gonna be hard for this off season not to be an A. 4 minutes ago, Brandon said: I have no prob with LeFevour as a 3rd string/backup. The guy is mobile and has experience.

Neither guy is a returner, basically any RB can be put there but doesnt mean they will be good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Marshall was chronically underused but showed well when given the ball later in the season, he's a real power back that's hard to bring down. Good pick up by the Greenies. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good pick up by the Greenies. He was stuck in a glutt of rbs. Showed some real flashes but wasnt able to secure the job. Course you can say it was the system / ol and probably be right atleast in part. Hes got a great mix of skills running the ball for the cfl game. I want to say he struggled catching the ball out of the backfield but mostly i remember his smooth fluid running style. Certainly a good pick up, and a guy Im glad isnt out of football.

mbrg Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Maybe we can cut a good deal with the Ticats store on buying their old LeFevour tshirts if they haven't already been donated to an orphanage. Pennies on the dollar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Good signing, if Nichols goes down Lefevour can come in and win games. Also a good option for the red-zone offence. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 LeFevour was my top choice out of the FA QBs so I'm pretty happy to see him here. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taynted_Fayth Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 and it's for more cowbell while we hoist the cup! In seriousness, I'm indifferent to this signing. I fully expect Nichols to play all 18 games (barring our big ass leads and clinched 1st place in the West) never hurts to have a little experience behind our #1 though rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
