Omg that's hilarious I'd never heard that before thanks for sharing. It's a pick em between moss and Megatron imo. But I'd probably go with Megatron. Watching him play it looked like he could've kicked it into another gear and gone all Michal Jordan any time he wanted. Those two wrs are just from another planet. Funny thing is they could likely improve their ol with the couple imps they've plucked recently but still have the worst ol and be even worse off ratio wise. He's a 100k a year back up qb. And yes as many people will point out he is nuttier than an out house rat. Between Masoli mbt and streveler who do you take if you need a starting qb? Masoli is the better qb but he's anti clutch. And an anti vax nut bag. I'd still take streveler. I'll bet on heart and a good head on his shoulders every time. I actually think Montreal would be a great spot for strevy. Rpo former great qb in khari who has worked well with mobile qbs who are limited passers great run game and wrs.

Good point. The amount of great ocs who didn't play qb and didn't have a qb with a great system teach them is tiny. It's like trying to make all pro in the nfl being 100 lbs soaking wet. If plop could recognize his limitations and bring in a guy like a younger Dinwiddie help make the playbook but let his oc call the game and coach qbs he could be successful. He is a good personnel coach. But that wouldn't happen. Even if he wanted it I don't think it's possible with the coaching cap.

That moves a biggie. Stove and ba then the defense is in great shape. Zach Bryant Lawler and rbs on offense. A lot of work for the mafia left to do.

Yep. 100 percent. And to give him credit where it's due he can draw up a playbook. Bill Walsh June Jones mouse Davis a lot of the innovators on offense failed as qbs either in college or early in the pros. Sean mcvay is a offensive modern guru who is great with qbs and didn't play qb. He was also a failed college wr. But he is a disciple of Shanahan who was a qb. Plop doesn't have a coaching lineage to fall back on. Over coming not playing qb and not having that former qb great coach teacher is pretty near impossible to over come. Chip Kelly was a db. Don coryell was a hb. Woody Hayes was a tackle. Andy Reid was a tackle too. But that's early generation spread offense with coaches who qbd above their lineages.

Do you know how many ocs ac struggled under? Also steveler was never an NFL prototype. Trying to force him into being one was silly. If a team did rpo and qb runs really well steveler would be a monster. I agree. Though I'd love him back I dont see money and reps working when some one else will give him atleast 250 or more and a chance to start. I think the elk could be it. He's better than Fajardo and cf over achieved in that system.

I would argue that no qb ever got any better under plop. Play calling and play book aside he was never a qbs oc.

Plop had him running lousey fake rpo crap and throwing 5 yard outs. I'd love to see what he could do with bucks playbook and what buck could do with his skill set. Imagine trying to defend counter qb Power and qb power like the ravens run but with strevy in the cfl. June Jones has applied to be the hc at Hawaii again. Probably gets the job too.

He would pretty much any rush end would but that passport is the money. That said I don't think the Bombers will have that for a 3rd de.

He's gonna run some ones offense one day. Leonard is one of the all time great at dodging tests. Up there with Wanderlei silva slipping out the window and running down the street half naked. The Jeff part 2 really stepped up in 21. He played some of the most dominant defensive games league wide last year. He's just coming into his peak too. Saw on 3dn the weekly gossip piece said they think Jones will dump both Boateng and Betts this off season. If he doesnt try to bring them back it should be a huge red flag to the elk brass. Their ni talent is already pencil thin they can't just replace a starter that easy.

Qft. I don't think any one can argue that the late year team wasn't alot better than the early year team. Long passes and big returns were added late but ba in at s and the adjustments to the d front alone were huuuge.

Actually in the modern era or football you can see tons of guys who produce as first year starters. Also Allen and flutie weren't stars by any means in their first 3 combined years.

Even then Harris looks shot. I wouldn't bank. On any of them other then Masoli being able to lead us to the play offs. And even then I don't think Masoli or Harris fi I think they fo. Collaros is the only qb that's a winner in that row. Isnt an ol fixer available either. Not even a lot for star Nis. By default the only true system changing star that can be a difference maker to a contender that could see fa is Zach. He also sat the better part of 3 games and saw lots of injuries and missed time to his wr core and star rb. Considering it was the first time in a decade the passing game carried our offense he did fantastic. It's also bucks first year as an oc. He had a lot of growth as a play caller.

I wouldn't take Harris or Masoli unless they showed serious changes in character and even then pretty much min contracts. I fully believe you can get qbs who as rookies can produce at a minimum pro level. I'd rather go with a rookie streveler Evans heavy balls etc. But at this point I don't think either young qb we have are replacement level. Rather than spending atleast 150k plus on a guy like that I'd rather the Bombers give our guys raises or maybe poach a decent rotational ni.

Yep. Good chance he starts this year. Happy he's back. Long term i think he could still be a rt in the cfl. He was done like dinner. His resurgence is one of the all time come back stories. I would think collaros values an ol over a few k at this point.

Tldr dunk is dying to write a post mortem on the Bombers where collaros leaves as a fa or he signs a giant contract that limits our ability to retain fas.

Even friesen gets it. If you asked me, a none hockey fan, If significant rule changes to the NHL would increase my interest I'd probably be inclined to say sure. Because I don't care either way. Rule changes couldn't make me less interested. It's such a stupid premise. Find former cfl fans whove fallen off and see what they have to say. Ask people who watch 1 teams games what it'd take to get them to watch more games. Ask young fans especially in ott what has pulled them In. Get useful information. This study is trash science.

https://3downnation.com/2022/01/15/why-signing-a-veteran-qb-isnt-essential-for-shawn-burke-the-redblacks/ Hilarious. Suddenly Caleb Evans is enough for a play off push. This type of attitude is exactly why the rbs have missed 3 straight play offs and are gonna do the same This year. Dane Evans is waay better and if the cats were ride or die with him they'd a been blown out in tor. Masoli plus Evans guided the cats to back to back gcs. The Bombers turned the corner twice when they made moves that added veteran qb depth in Nichols and then collaros. Every team in the league should seriously investigate every opportunity to add a vet qb this off season.

You get more series with 3 downs too. It puts a higher emphasis on each play too. Thats one that could be good on both sides or the border. Changes like that are what the league should look at each year. That's true but the south Bible belt is German Mennonite. The Mexican Mennonite communities is a divergent group separated by a generation or less most of the time. The French catholic and German Mennonite communities don't mix nearly as well.

If you drew a line from Steinbach to Morden, the culture of the people in that area would shock most Canadians and Winnipeggers. I've spent most of my life in that area, and again reside in that range. The lack of acceptance and compassion for any one who doesn't conform as white, straight, and Christian is awful. The attitude of people here towards things like kids dying of covid, to the gay pride parade, and any thing none Christian, could easily make you feel like you've slipped into a time warp and found your self in Alabama during the 1950s.

I think both arguments are correct. The NFL play clock is too long, but I like that they whistle play in right away. The shorter play clock in the CFL is good, but the inconsistent whistling in of play is horrible. Idk if you could run an offense with a 20 second play clock where play is whistled in as it is in the NFL. I would LOVE to see a game with a 30 second play clock where play is whistled in right away. The NFL is much more watchable than it was in the late 90s early 2ks. The offensive innovation is incredible on soo many fronts. The CFL has really lagged in this area since the early 2ks when every team went to a 5 by 1 pistol base. To me the NFL still feels like the no fun league though. It feels like upsets and big come backs are still extremely rare. The 40 second play clock feels slow, and the 4 downs makes each play feel far less important and the drives feel much slower. I liked jackson bit surprised he's a toss in guy. But over all its a MEH trade for me.

I started reading it and stopped. The sample size for a nation wide survey was far too small to be impactful. Not to mention the conclusions are beyond un reliable. 4 down football would increase interest 10%? Assuming every single person who said their interest would raise with the switch to NFL rules would also come to pay as much money and watch as many games as the average fan does now is crazy. But even if it would, you dont whole sale change your product to gain 10% interest. Imagine if apple abandoned mac, iphone and all their products to sell windows Based pcs, samsung phones etc, for 10% more interest. The whole thing amounts to a great big nothingburger. Which in the off season I guess is maybe better than nothing for some. But im hoping some good sense will eventually win out. Tsn finally showed some signs of life in terms of improving the game day production. Cfl media that's actually fan friendly is finally growing. The cfl had some tremendous tv rating weeks this year. The league needs continuous improvement. Not whole sale product change. I imagine a good few people on here are familiar with domestic car brands selling foreign made cars in the 70s and 80s. The 80s Chevy nova, was a toyota corolla with chevy emblems slapped on it. The chrysler lebarons with masserati design and italian build, geo storm, kia elan, izuzu impulse by lotus, even up to the diamler benz Chrysler products more recently. Customers don't go to X to buy Y. They dont go to KFC to buy taco bell. They dont go to chevy to buy toyota. They dont come to the CFL to watch american football. The CFL IS canadian football. IF you take that away, they dont sell american football to canaidans. They sell nothing, to no one. North america has access to all the american football you could want. Forget the XFL, USFL, AFL, IFL, Spring league and every other start up. You have 130 FBS division 1 schools playing 12 regular season games a year. The NFL played 17 games with 32 teams a year. And the US has about 16,000 high school teams playing 10 games a year. No matter what level, or type of american football you like, more content exists than you can watch. The big colleges and every NFL team has coverage every single day of the year. The CFL trying to change markets after 100 years and going into business selling american football is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. No hyperbole. Imagine if tomorrow Westfield industries in rosenort manitoba tried to make civics and compete with honda.

No joke. He never seemed to show any real improvement. Some great raw tools, but at the end of the day if you have soo few reps at qb by the time you reach the pros you've got basically no chance. Completely dismissive and disrespectful to the bombers. Should be fired.

Crazy to think he spent 3 years with ott.

The question is does arch have him self a gun? Sorry I just can't help my self. Better play for Alabama and wear the number 3. He was. Highly recruited out of hs on an NFL path but never played college due to spine problems. Every once n a while some people talk crazy about how he was the better of the 3 brothers. When in reality he was probably only better than Eli lol

I'd add any thing involving the maple leafs the yanks n socks or the jets. I better sneak out and lay low after that one.
