MC Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I have a doctorate in leadership and passed the bar on my third try (it was still open the first two times) and I know why Apodaca was cut. There was a hue and cry from elderly parents of 80's stoners (still living in their parents' basements) complaining that their sons kept trying to play what they assumed were the opening chords to Genesis's new song.

Nickthesizz Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Drew Edwards this morning on the big show said he's a solid backup and he's been covering him since he was in Hamilton. we've seen one game from him last year against TOR? I think we'll be ok. Edited June 13, 2017 by Gotmilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's odd. A PR QB seems like a given. Complete speculation, but I'm thinking that "at this time" is the operative phrase here. I'm betting that they might have someone in mind, and/or are waiting to see who might shake out as cuts happen. And of course, finding out from whoever they might be interested in, if that person is willing to live on PR wages. I expect we'll see a 4th QB by the time we're into the first game or two of the regular season. Nickthesizz and blue_gold_84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apodaca seemed to have a lot of raw potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me question why we brought in such an inexperienced prospect if we weren't willing to put in some measure of time to allow him to improve. What were we expecting? That he would actually be quick with his decision-making after throwing the ball 10 times per game in college? I don't know. I've been really underwhelmed with our QB scouting since Walters took over. I don't see the point in bringing in long-shot oddball QBs like Robert Marve and Apodaca. And clearly we haven't been getting results out of it because none of them have stuck and all our current QBs have come from other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBBFanWest Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Personally, I'm fine with bringing in QB's from other teams. Could we better at scouting them ourselves? Maybe, but at the end of the day, how we get them is a lot less important that having them. Right now, we seem to have 3 decent options. Don't really care how they first arrived.

I have to acknowledge that we *appear* be enjoying some of the best QB depth we've had 'round these parts in a long ... long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care either but I'd prefer we scout good players rather than bad ones. I guess I'm just crazy that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublezero Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 3 hours ago, Mike said: I agree entirely. I don't really consider him an option to make the team at all. Sadly, I don't think the coaches agree. Hopefully Thorpe is healthy and shows enough to push for that rotational receiver/returner role that McDuffie played last year. I am curious to see what Thorpe can do although his durability and conditioning apparently is an issue. Same with Sheppard. Thorpe has a history of foot injuries. And Sheppard keeps getting nicked too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Mac must be an idiot. You are assuming that Danny Mac had carnal knowledge about every aspect of him. He had some raw measurables that made him an intriguing prospect. It's fairly obvious he did not respond well to the CFL game and that is something you can't know until he gets here.

Booch Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 same can be said for Hamilton..Collaros was brought in, and prior too so was Burris. Who have they really developed into a bonafide star lately. Montreal...Calvillo was brought in as well, and since?...noting but garbage really, Sask, same as us really. Durant was good, but prior to that basically free-agents and cast-offs from other teams. Nothing developed there in recent memory. Toronto has brought in a lot of talent, but all playing elsewhere now, but that was from previous regime, so we shall see if history repeats and Popp struggles to bring in any talent that sticks and becomes a true starter. Seems like recently only Calgary and BC has really developed a recruit to become a bonafide starter. Edmonton brought in Reilly, and jury is out on Franklin still...though showing signs So most teams can say same thing about developing their own QB in house. I don't see it as a big deal to be honest...now if you were constantly having to bring in players everywhere to fill in your roster from other teams rejects, or free agency then I'd be concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penetration is an essential element of sexual intercourse, and there is carnal knowledge if even the slightest penetration of the female by the male organ takes place. It is not required that the hymen be ruptured or the ****** entered Atomic and bearpants 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
