Streveler’s vs 49’ers

Bo Levi Mitchell is NOT a running qb. Not even close. He likes to stay in the pocket with his eyes downfield. He has a quick release which saves him from harm & his OL do a Yeoman's job protecting him. Can he avoid the rush by moving around? Sure but he's no Tom Clements. He's not even Tom Burgess. He knows Dave Dickenson's offense inside out which also helps with his success.1 point -
He can run like Ricky Ray could run. Yeah they could move their legs and take advantage of wide open field, but they weren't ever a qb you worried about beating you with their legs.1 point

Every day there’s something with him. Open the tweets to see the strong resistance to Trump’s stand. “The dispute between the Israel delegation and White House staff over wearing face masks & maintaining social distancing is ongoing & very hot. Israeli security is making this a demand. WH staff are arguing among themselves as to what is safe vs. what will please Trump. 1/“1 point -

It's true. he's a guy that always has his eyes downfield. I can't even remember a play where he honest to goodness ran for a first down. Entirely capable of doing it but that is not at all his game. He usually has a receiving core for days and uses them well.1 point -

You'd have to find someone who has literally never watched Bo play to find someone who would call him a running QB.1 point -
They have but it's looking less and less likely. Draft and free agency in the first few weeks of October. Camp in mid-November? It's too late for that now. Maybe they get going in December with camp, break for Xmas and then start around New Year?1 point

Best: 1984, second game of the season and first home game. They beat the Argos by two points after a disappointing season opening lose to Calgary at a time when the Bombers rarely lost at home. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t that significant of a game, but it was the first Bomber game I ever attended. I was a teenager and my Dad had no interest in going to football or hockey games, so I never went any Bomber or Jets games. But an uncle was going with one of my cousins and had a spare ticket, so he took me. It was a big thrill for me to finally get to attend a live game. 1988 Grey Cup. After the 1987 season where the Bombers were dominant but lost the East final this was an unexpected win as Tom Clements had retired. But somehow, they managed to win it. During the 1983 season when Dieter Brock was traded to Hamilton for Tom Clements. Brock had already said that he wanted out and wasn’t playing. In the pre-internet days, I remember watching TV when a ‘breaking news’ story scrolled across the bottom of the screen. It said something like ‘Winnipeg Blue Bomber quarterback, Dieter Brock, has been traded to Hamilton for…’, and when I saw that I immediately was thinking ‘Tom Clements, Tom Clements’! Worst: 1994 Eastern Final loss to Baltimore. When it finally seemed like it would be third-time’s-the -charm with Dunigan and the Bombers. 2002 Western final loss to Edmonton. After the 2001 Grey Cup loss and then this one, it just seemed like it was destined not to happen with this version of the team, despite everything they had going for them. Not an on-field disappointment, but in the mid-90’s when they dropped the royal blue uniforms and traditional ‘W’ logo for the scheme they wore for the next 20 years. I hated those uniforms and that logo! Bonus positive memory is when they finally switched back a few years ago.1 point

Diversionary topic of the week: Your Top 3 Best and Worst Bomber memories
wbbfan reacted to Bigblue204 for a topic
3 worst: 52-0 at labour day...first time I've ever stopped watching a game in the 3rd. I didn't leave the stadium but just went underneath and drank. 2001 grey cup loss. Just crushed me. Dunigan leaving. He was my hero as a kid and I hated him for leaving. 3 best: Milts 4 for 4 HOW DO YOU NOT COVER THE GOAT!! lol Come back win against MTL (That game changed the team) 2019 GC.1 point -
It was basically the same QB sneak he has been running for the past 2 years. Could be huge for a team when in those a yard and less plays to have a guy who has run good 100 of those in the past two years. Not many QBs in NFL can say they do more than 10 or so a year.1 point

How Big Oil Misled The Public Into Believing Plastic Would Be Recycled September 11, 2020 Laura Leebrick, a manager at Rogue Disposal & Recycling in southern Oregon, is standing on the end of its landfill watching an avalanche of plastic trash pour out of a semitrailer: containers, bags, packaging, strawberry containers, yogurt cups. None of this plastic will be turned into new plastic things. All of it is buried. "To me that felt like it was a betrayal of the public trust," she said. "I had been lying to people ... unwittingly." Rogue, like most recycling companies, had been sending plastic trash to China, but when China shut its doors two years ago, Leebrick scoured the U.S. for buyers. She could find only someone who wanted white milk jugs. She sends the soda bottles to the state. But when Leebrick tried to tell people the truth about burying all the other plastic, she says people didn't want to hear it. "I remember the first meeting where I actually told a city council that it was costing more to recycle than it was to dispose of the same material as garbage," she says, "and it was like heresy had been spoken in the room: You're lying. This is gold. We take the time to clean it, take the labels off, separate it and put it here. It's gold. This is valuable." But it's not valuable, and it never has been. And what's more, the makers of plastic — the nation's largest oil and gas companies — have known this all along, even as they spent millions of dollars telling the American public the opposite.

I agree. I'm not gonna get into a whole thing, but as has been mentioned before, this whole place got shittier when Jets Fans Who Aren't Really Bombers Fans discovered the place and kinda took over, and ask all sorts of ridiculous and inane questions, and post things that really don't jive with the original core crew of this place. But.......that's just one grump old man's take.1 point

What kind of hypnotic spell does this buffoon have over people, do they really think this idiot should be leading the US, everything seems to bounce off this guy, any other President would of been forced to resign after a few months for all the stupidity he has done and said, but here we are still in power and looks like he has the potential to steal the election.0 points -
