SpeedFlex27 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) 5 hours ago, Atomic said: Nichols is only 30. There is no desperate need to replace him. Let's find a decent QB prospect rather than hoping something finally clicks for Davis after multiple years. It just doesn't happen for some guys and no amount of time will change that. Let's sign Durant for a great 1/2 punch and then find a legitimate QB prospect for the first time in this regime's history. Yeah, I like that. I'm all for signing Durant. Davis is a slug whose had 3 years to figure it out. LeFevour. Is. Just. Awful. Get rid of him. Having a short yardage qb with no passing skills is just too much to sacrifice in the long term.

Calvillo has almost 8000 passing yards and 45 tds in his first three years. Shaky both may have been but they showed far more than Davis. Methinks thou sets the bar too high.

Most guys need plenty of time. I am not saying Davis will develop into a CFL starter if given more time. I just think he was given limited reps, was hamstrung by poor play calling when in there, and then was leapfrogged by LeFevour which most saw as a real head-stratcher. I don't recall his first game, but Ricky Ray had a pretty successful first season as well from what I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't be that happy about the situation over there either. And I'd imagine Williams would be a cheaper option at 3rd string than Adams. and Air Canada. What about him?

I am also a fan of a QB who can scare the opposition as a threat to run and run well, if that is the best option. I suspect that the door is closing for Bridge to sow that he can be a legitimate starter. Its now or never for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Maybe Vernon Adams gets released. Would be an ok add for us. bb1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I'd look into trading for Adams. Riders have spent a bunch of $$$ on QB's. They should be happy to get rid of their #3 (Adams) for very little. As we can't seem to find a QB on our own, it would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueandgoldguy Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Davis' performance reminded me of Alex Brink's first start 6 or so years ago. Deer in headlights...just a disaster. If need be, bring him back for training camp I guess. It would be nice if the bombers brought in some legit competition for a developmental Qb who can actually develop into a starter for a change.

He looks scared and hesitant to make a play. I keep hoping the more he gets in game, the calmer he will become and more comfortable... He does have a good arm and excellent scrambling ability... Now I realize his sample size is small.. but has he shown something (anything) beyond looked pensive? The game should be slowing down for him by now by virtue of reps in practice and camp I would have thought.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, his sample size is tiny.. but even in that little bit of time, he should have shown something. some glimpse that he could be capable of carrying the mail should Nichols be down.. he really didn't. I'm loathe to give up on a guy with such tools and ability this quick BUT I also don't want to see the bombers invest another season or two on a backup who might not even be worth being given the #2 spot at this point.. How many times have we been down this avenue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis played most of the last game in 2015 losing to the Argos 21-11, he went 16/25 for 64.0% 169 yds 0 TD 0 Int. He didn't accomplish much but he didn't look too badly out of place either.

Yeah for whatever reason he seemed to have a different demeanor in the games last year....I was shocked actually. Not sure if he didn't want to make a mistake so he reigned things in or what...but to me he looked like a totally different QB He has the skill set...and should know the system...If he doesn't really light it up this camp I see him as being gone...which is too bad SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
