Standing only on his past performance is still questionable. He was given every opportunity to make it work in the NFL and failed. Why would it be different in the CFL? His arm going to get better? His decision making going to get better? I can't believe I'm still talking about this non-factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running 5 with one guy only getting coffee is tough. More then 5 is nuts. Just not enough reps to evaluate, get people in the groove etc. An extra guy just to throw passes in mini camp doesnt hurt, though thats done semi regularly by coaches, visiting coaches, etc 1 hour ago, do or die said: Riders fans have 220 page thread on Young, and a 140 pager on Franklin. The wishful thinking is strong. 2 kinds of football teams. Ones that are comfortable with their qb situation, and teams frantically trying to get a comfortable set up. Didnt we have one like that last year with people raging that we didnt get harris/collaros, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky ray couldnt cut it down south. danny mac, hank etc etc. And the offensive style gap only widens. Older qbs with experience do seem to improve decision making and throw selection. Damon allen, and AC come quickly to mind. Time off / out of position can help as well as in kerry joseph. That said his deficiencies arent likely to have improved, and his passing skill set doesnt project favorably. Is he a worth while sign? sure. worth a lot of money? no. High risk pick up, not sure if hes still high reward or not. He could be low risk high reward if used sparingly in a wild cat esq package + goal line formation but i dont see that happening.

It's a no risk pickup because the only tangible cost to them is a roster spot. If you believe the part about no signing bonus, which is tough. On the intangible side, the Young signing is high embarrassment/low dignity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a bunch of question marks behind him. Nichols might not be a world beater, but he's brought stability to the position. Davis and Lefevour have both been in the league for a while now and Lefevour has proven he can get it done when the circumstances are right. Davis has the up side of being in the same system. The Riders don't have any of that. Just Kevin Glenn. Who like I said is making his 3rd appearance as a Rider (recycle, reduce, reuse), say what you want about our situation. But you're legit insane if you think the bombers & riders are close in the qb department - as it stands right now. Mr Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
