Mark F Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) 8 hours ago, Floyd said: You might want to do some research on Calvillo... Calvillo made Trestman, its not the other way around. Didn't Trestman coach the NFL mvp quarterback, with the Raiders. Think so. Rich Gannon. who said that Trestman was a huge help to him. One former NFL quarterback who thrived under Marc Trestman thinks that Jay Cutler will greatly benefit from working with the new Bears head coach. As Oakland Raiders offensive coordinator in 2002, Trestman helped Rich Gannon earn NFL Most Valuable Player honors after completing 67.6 percent of his passes for 4,689 yards with 26 touchdowns, 10 interceptions and a 97.3 passer rating that's well above his 84.7 career mark. Quote "You're going to get a guy who's really good with the players," Gannon told ChicagoBears.com Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine. "He's a great communicator. He's a wonderful teacher. "The best thing about Marc, the best attribute that Jay is really going to appreciate is he's great with feedback. He's not going to force something with you that you're not comfortable with. He's really going to hone the game plan to what Jay does well and what he likes." also like trestman's given name.

So, Calvillo's career wasn't revitalized when Trestman took over as HC in 2008...? Calvillo threw for his third highest yardage total, highest TD total, and highest comp. % to that point in his career. Weird how you ostensibly give the latter no credit whatsoever, especially when you consider how comparatively mediocre Calvillo's previous two seasons were. I mean, his TD total alone in 2008 was more than his 2006 and 2007 totals combined. In five seasons together, Calvillo's QB rating was never below 98, the Alouettes finished first in the East Division four times, and posted a 59-31 record. Not to mention three consecutive Grey Cup appearances and winning back-to-back Grey Cup championships in Trestman's first three seasons as a head coach. Both individuals complemented one another, helping to cement one's legacy as the top QB in CFL history and the other establishing a solid ability to be a head coach, at least at the CFL level. You make it sound like Trestman deserves no credit for what he's accomplished thus far in the CFL and that he was merely just along for the ride. Seemed like they were a pretty formidable tandem, IMO. Mark F, Bigblue204, Mark H. and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holoman Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Was Calvillo great under Trestman? Yes, but let's not pretend his Tiger Cats/Posse days continued well into 2007 before Trestman arrived.

Mr Dee Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Bombers' coaches, training staff adjust routines to cut down on injuries - http://wfp.to/Eix (behind a pay wall - try opening in an incognito tab) ⚡️ BREAKING ⚡️ Fewer than 3,000 tickets remain for 2017 #GreyCup public on-sale. Drew Edwards The Ticats need a starting right offensive tackle and newcomer Jordan Swindle has the inside track after the first 10 days of training camp. ?? My question is - how the heck did a guy named 'Swindle' get by Chris Jones? Matt Nichols has been labelled a game manager, but he believes that label is false. Nichols isn’t shy to take his chances deep down the field and wants this season to be the year the perception around him changes. Farhan Lalji has more....http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/video/labelled~1141218 CFL News Brandyn Bartlett selected by #Riders in supplemental draft 3downnation.com/2017/06/08/bra… #CFL via @jdunk12 ?? "Keep 'em coming Jonesie" If I was a betting man, I don't think Vince Young will be around in Week 1. He's been average. - @rodpedersen #CFL #Riders via @3DownRadio "Ever since he first got here, (Nichols) was a guy I've learned from." D. Davis "I'm going to go in and treat it like it's a playoff game." - Matt Nichols "(training camp) is something you don't just try to go through, you try to execute and excel at it." - Mike O'Shea ??Sad but true..As many people will read about the game on football forums that will have attended the Argo game live... Rick Zapperin, Global News states "Plain and simple, if Hamilton remains a healthy unit in 2017 — something they haven’t been able to do in recent years — they have the talent to be an elite team in the league." ??And following that logic, if you get 10 yards on any down(s), you'll get a first down.. And, you'll need a kicker.. "We saw a glimpse of the team we're able to become." Coach Trestman breaks down the team's preseason play. ??Really? I must have blinked..

This is such a dumb argument... of course, every team would be better if they stayed perfectly healthy all season... but the reality is injuries are guaranteed to happen, so build some depth and fight through it... with the exception of losing your entire starting line-up, a really good team will continue to win even with injuries....

Calvillo was a great QB before Trestman showed up - 6000 yard seasons, Grey cup win and almost annual Grey Cup appearances... its not his fault that Bellefuile was his OC in 2007. Trestman is a very good coach - but he was a good coach with a proven QB and also a coach that left Montreal with no replacement for that QB. Now he has an old broken Ricky Ray, a suspect OL and Drew Willy... I'm just saying this is a legit test for Trestman Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand, you blame Bellefeuille - and rightfully so. How does Trestman not get any credit for helping Calvillo, though? How is it Trestman's fault Montreal didn't have a QB to take over after Calvillo? Would that error not be on the GM...? I don't think anyone disagrees this new situation in Toronto is a legitimate test for Trestman. And I'm pretty sure Ray is a proven QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then someone said he turned around Calvillo's career - which he didn't... he just replaced Popp/Bellefuile - which technically would turn around anyone's career - ahem. I'm not saying Trestman is an awful coach, the same way that I'm not ready to say Jones is an awful coach - these guys are good... but they were also both coaches on good teams and now they're not. As for Ricky Ray, I'm not sure he's better than Kevin Glenn at this point of their careers. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple things. I don't think anyone has said DD has a noodle arm, Bennett just has a better one( more powerful). Secondly, I am not holding my breath in regards to Bennett. He may or may not turn out to be anything, he has been a good prospect so far. Subconsciously I would think Bomber fans in general would like to believe that this kid has no future, makes letting him go easier to swallow. Jennings came through the Riders and didn't even get invited to training camp, guess we missed the boat on him. It does happen.
