You gain nothing starting a running qb and trying to weave in a passer. But spelling a throwing qb with a mobile qb is proven effective. If collaros gets knocked out of the game as a starter we lose nothing from having streveler come off the bench. If collaros has to come off the bench he has to find a passing rythym. Remember the hurry up package after the short yardage team got a first down last year? We can have that back. Not to mention it's what our offense is designed around. We never made the read option or rpo work real well. Collaros made better use of our system then Nichols did and showed better accuracy then we've seen in a long time.

We saw bishop throw one from his goal line one leg on the ground body nearly parallel to the ground 60 yards for a giant play against us when he was an argo. Brock had the best arm of his era and 2ks prior by a good margin. But it's no comparison. Modern athleticism has lead to a significant velocity strike and not just in football

No it wouldn't have been. You can challenge it was a spear or illegal high hit to qb, they reviewed hook slide. Plus it's never a mistake to use the challenge to support and defend your qb and have the team sit and watch the replay again.

Impressive thing about collaros last night was his ball placement and catchability. Of 6 incompletions 1 was a pick on him but was a product of lack of experience in the system. 2 throw aways and 2 passes were wrs flubbed. Darvin Adams on the challenge shouldve turned up field sooner on the scramble if he did he probably scores on that play. The other demski half dropped as he was hit from behind. Combine that with the fact we saw soo few second down check downs for half the distance needed or less. And he hit guys in stride a lot. Letting them keep their momentum and not have to come back to the ball a lot. The most accurate passing we've seen in a very long time all in all. Our pass rush really misses having Nevis and Richardson in as starters. Kongbo had a great game too if few stats. Couple pressures couple qb hits a pass knock down and got in on a bunch of gang tackles. The 30 front look with a de at nose was pretty dismal for the ends to play through too.

Plus mos for not challenging the hit on collaros and the horse collar tackle on grant.

Big HH to the crowd too. Atmosphere was incredible and soo loud for a sparse turn out the rowdiest all year too

It isnt happening. So yes, living in reality and not betting every thing on a lotto tickets chance is what I expect. And what is happening with the roster weve announced.

If he called plays the whole game like he goes in the first quarter we'd be 18-0 this year.

In theory yes, in practice no. Its still play off football.

Streveler started at qb, im talking about running some option and the short package. Im not saying have him drop back to pass 20 times🙄 Incredible athlete, as a passer, really shakey. His arm is a long term project to get him with a consistent appropriate base, getting his arm slot and release point where it needs to be etc. He over compensates soo much for his bad mechanics you cant really say how good his velocity will be when he/if he gets it all corrected. Hes one of the wildest passers ive ever seen. But his athletic ability is soo special (especially for a qb to have that kind of quickness/cod speed) that he could be a 3rd stringer in the cfl. He could be the goal line qb / holder and run some wildcat/option stuff. That worked real well for us in 2001. You cant let up then just hammer back down on the throttle.

Its practically a pre season game, hes been in practice for what 4 weeks? last year we started streveler day 1. Nothing wrong with have a guy wet his toes in limited action in a game with no standings implications. Not to mention we also lost our short yardage qb, our holder etc and of the three he has a running qb skill set. Its him or mcguire in those situations, who also has not done it in the cfl. Not like you can ask collaros to do it.

The game still has meaning and going into the play offs on a win against calgary, when we will play calgary is a hell of a lot better then going into calgary having lost to them twice in a row. Blue n gold till im dead n cold.

And he probably wants to play more then any one sat.

agree Fenner is a great tackler but I feel like he isnt corner material.

Fenner wasnt soo hot either. hes been beat deep like a red head step child this year. Sitting Streveler is smart. My expectations couldnt be lower for Collaros. I hope mcguire gets a quarter. Id also love to see knight get in for some of the streveler package.

After soo many years and soo many pieces if we dont have what he needs by now he requirements are too high.

Itd be cool to see it happen in the GC winners market, or maybe in the market where the next GC will be hosted. Itd be cool if the GC being in a city meant several cfl league events in that city that year.

Funny, but good on him. Hes trying to stay engaged in the city and franchise and doing some good.

I think our system is as qb pressure friendly as it gets. They can be improved, but you wont take a guy whose slow and make quick release and quick read his strength. Not at the pro level. By then these guys have seen an insane amount of reps. Defenses play too tight for 1 step drop stuff, 3 step drop is the common rhythm for timing plays. 5 and 7 are deeper routes which we dont run much. I agree with the sprint out. We could do soo much more with strevelers running. Drag routes from the back side, play action sprint out to the wide side. Run the QB draw on a clear out deep routes play etc. Ive been diying to see good shovel pass play. He doesnt make the best decisions in RPO/ option run which isnt surprising its very nuanced and he has no experience in it. So give him simple shovel options a couple passing options with the grain and clear outs. I dont think buck is the issue, but he may or may not be the right guy as well.

Quick decisiveness, reading, and release are some thing you can work to improve but not some thing you can gain. You gotta prioritize that in scouting. Previously his decision making process and reading were good. Though he seemed to be playing rattled when he struggled this year. Tucking the ball early, choppy footwork, not stepping up in the pocket etc. In the past when he struggled his throwing motion would elongate into a wind up. Both will lead to taking more shots. But I dont think hes ever gotten close to fully recovering from last years injury. Previously he was fully able to roll out as needed, and even broke the occasional decent run. This year his mobility looked worse then late danny mac or kerwin bell. To me he looks this year like collaros looked when he went to ssk.

Yeah if any thing our qbs are put in the safest position in the cfl. Short throws, good OL, great blocking Rb, lots of wrinkles and PA to keep the D honest. If any thing BC and mike reilly have lived in the danger zone the most and he will have played the most games out of any qb that was the starter out of TC.

Not big on harris, though we could do worse. I would love to get an elite wr though.

been an unreal year for qbs. its nice to have soo many young guys flourishing but its tough to see soo many brutal injuries to vets.

I wouldnt want to either, I hope its not us. But im sure some one will. Imo If ott doesnt clean house I could see them doing some thing like going for masoli and trading for franklin/MBT or signing one of the vets like collaros.
