You base that intelligence level on what? Nine starts, Booch? He hasn't shown any intelligence level superior to any of those guys you mention yet. I say, yet... as he could develop into a starting qb or... not. However, at this time I'm not ready to anoint him superior in the brain game to any of those 3 guys who played before him. You keep mentioning that Streveler is intelligent. You read that somewhere & have attached that monicker to him on several occasions like it's some kind of Red Badge Of Courage. Where is this superior intellect? I don't see it. Others have picked up the game faster than him. Like Ricky Ray, Bo Levi Mitchell, Mike Reilly, Doug Flutie, Tom Clements & Warren Moon. All I see is a second year pro who is prone to making mistakes throwing the ball who is struggling on the field at times. He's still a kid playing a man's game. He's shown to be no more intelligent than any other inexperienced back up qb in the CFL at present or have come before him. I see a player with unlimited potential & athletic ability off the charts but average when it comes to picking up the Canadian game. He ain't ready for prime time yet. Hopefully, he will be someday. He's all we got so we have to ride with him as far as he can go.

As a Head Coach, he blew it.

That Stampeder team still had a core of experienced veterans from their 1998 championship team as well as 99 Grey Cup finalist team. Huge mistake to underestimate them the way the Bombers did. Still pisses me off thinking about that missed opportunity.

Crandell was a vet who got on something like a five game hot streak, reg season & playoffs & he played lights out. So, have to give him props for playing in the moment. Salisbury was nothing special but he didn't make many mistakes & handled the pressure very well in the playoffs & Grey Cup in 88. But he had a great defense backing him up & a monster in Rod Hill making huge plays like blocking punts in the 88 East Final & Mike Grey deflecting passes on the goal line in the Grey Cup. Burgess great game manager & didn't turn the ball over much & had an even better defense behind him in 90 than he had in 88. That defense dismantled a vaunted Esks team that year piece by piece.

This a thousand times over. The Bombers thought all they had to do was show up & the Stamps would fall over in awe from their greatness. Dave Ritchie did nothing to stop the nonsense by his players. The Bombers should have been champions that year.

No.

Yeah, I'd like to know who these far, far worse qbs are as well.

Things will just be getting started out here if he forms even a minority government.

He's been walking that tweet back all day. What a piece of slime Butts is.

It looks like Elizabeth May did nothing but cement the image of a clueless socialist wingnut in voters minds. She's pretty much fallen off the radar since the English language debate.

Running is not a fundamental. It's a physical attribute. Just like Dieter Brock had a rifle for an arm. Tom Clements agility & scrambling ability. Matt Dunigans's physical attibutes, strength, power & leadership abilities. All physical gifts. How can you call that having a cherry picking agenda? LOL.

Nope. Hall & Lapo gotta go.

Ha, ha. You lecturin' now? You sure that rock didn't bounce off your head before it hit your hand?

You laughed in reaction on the last quote, Skunk which is why I wouldn't bother trying to explain it to you. Since when is running a THROWING fundamental.?Thanks for stopping by though. Your input is greatly appreciated. You've certainly enriched this conversation, as always.

What I'm concerned about is the stubbornness of both our HC & OC & that they won't even try to sign another FA qb come February. That they won't change the offense & the way plays are called. Things need to change but they won't.

Being able to run is fundamental? I'm not even going to try & explain it to you. Let someone else waste 3 minutes of their life.

You won't be disappointed.

I think if the coaching staff remains the same so will our qbs. As will our offense. Nothing will change.

No technical screw up on my part. Fixed it.

LOL!

What qb was too mechanical? You either have it or you don't. Having said that,luck & timing have a lot to do with it as well. Playing on a great team. Surrounded by great players & coaches. A winning culture. It's more than just mechanics.

Those were nice throws.

Well, a qb without mechanics isn't a qb. Fundamentals. Fundamentals. Fundamentals.

I think about our OC all the time & dream that he takes a job with another team

I used to like Charleston Hughes but he's fit right into the Riders pile of steaming hot trash.
