I think he'd be happy to have a job.

http://www.bluebombers.com/roster/show/id/3653 If "He's not Buck Pierce" is the best reason you can give to signing a guy, that's pretty weak. No I gave my reason way further back, he's better than everything else we have on the roster. Elliott and Dinwiddie as our two QB's - with Stoddard in the slot. 17's dream team!!

I think we already know. The question is will we or the Eskimos win more games this season? And by losing the most games, we win the race to see who gets to draft the first guy that ends up going to the NFL and getting injured/PR'd next year, aka the CFL draft.

so where do we get the NI spot? On the DL? 3rd Canadian receiver? Swiston/Pencer tandem at tackle?

how many points did he get us in the LDC last year?

I want the guy who led the offense to improvements last season and won some games. In case you haven't noticed the offense has been abysmal this season and we haven't won games. Hee hee - what short memories we all have. The offense was abysmal last season too. By your logic we should be starting Buck right now, because he won as many games as Elliott and would have had similar offensive outputs if he had been able to play in that home game where we shredded the Ti-Cats D and Elliott won player of the week. We could have started Kenny Ploen in that game at QB with Dieter Brock backing him up and won that game.

I looked back at 2012. Elliott won 2 games for us. 2 games. One over Hamilton and one over Montreal. Buck won 2 games (Hamilton/Toronto), Goltz won the last home game against Montreal and Brink won that fluky game over Edmonton. I honestly think the legend of Elliott as this "game winner" for us has been largely over-blown. And in terms of excitement, that excitement he provided in the LDC and the away game against Calgary last year had me bent over a toilet puking, and it wasn't because of how drunk I was (though that helped).

yeah that was it. He cut himself.

I think there is disputing it. But it's irrelevant, as it's not going to happen anyway.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWKK70Rbn28 Here's the Elliott I remember - hitting that bomb to Watson at the 2:20 mark. That team at the end of 2010 sure had a lot of potential, Garrett and TJH at the top of their games, and before Elliott was slowed down by the knee injury, he could still do roll-outs and hit long bombs.

He's still shown more than any qb we have on the roster currently. shown more propensity to throw INT's in the red zone, and not listen to the coaches. In any event, these "what if" discussions just go in circles (see Reilly, Mike) so let's just agree to disagree here. I liked Elliott too, but realized that he was just another "flash in the pan" QB like so many we've had in the past, to be mentioned now only in the same breath as Troy Kopp or Jay Walker.

and in two related stories, scientists have determined that oxygen is necessary to sustain life, and Germans have been discovered living in Germany.

or option 2 - let's develop a QB who actually has talent and hope of being a starter in this league.

Yes he is, he got hurt last week. Mitchell and Tate are both further long than Glenn is hurt now. Glenn gets hurt every game. Then he just comes right back.

FYP

nope Glenn's not hurt. It was a joke tweet.

It's the only way to get through this season. I have already wrecked my liver so now it's time to go for the lungs...

we sign a guy who lost his 3rd string job? Yeah those coaches in Sask really musta loved the guy, cut him and everything. LOL. Now we know whose account Joe Mack is using to post on here....

Shawn Churchill ‏@ShawnChurchill 5m Burke says coaches in Saskatchewan have given him recommendation on Levi brown. What rivalry? Amazing what happens when you actually talk to other teams instead of pretending they don't exist.

So anyone know anything about Brown? Looks like he was on the Sask roster right up until June of this year, and then released during training camp. To get to the roster limit, the Roughriders released eight players: import quarterback Levi Brown, non-import linebacker Aaron Crawford, import running back Stephfon Green, import linebacker Anthony Heygood, import receiver Phillip Livas, import defensive end Kenny Rowe, non-import defensive lineman David Rybinski and import defensive back Chip Vaughn. Brown, 26, was the Roughriders' fourth quarterback in 2012, but he spent the entire campaign on injured lists and didn't dress for any games. When former NFLer J.T. O'Sullivan - last season's third-stringer - was released in the off-season, Brown appeared destined for the active roster. After all, he had worked with Roughriders' offensive coordinator George Cortez while they were both with the NFL's Buffalo Bills. However, Saskatchewan head coach Corey Chamb-lin said newly-signed pivot Tino Sunseri "looked a little bit better with what we were doing than Levi did at the time." Since the Roughriders don't want to keep four quarterbacks this season, Brown was released. Chamblin said cutting a player who had played in the system for a season was tough. "The management (informed) most of the guys, but I said, 'Let me talk to Levi for a second,'" Cham-blin said. "He's a guy we brought in and you form a relationship with them. "As a coach, I know they'll all be released or something at one point in time, but I just wanted to make sure he was OK and told him that if he needed help in any way, we'll try to help him." http://www.thestarphoenix.com/sports/Brown+Rowe+among+first+cuts/8539871/story.html

Nobody throws a pick-six quite like Buck. His delivery right in to the opposing DB's hands is just flawless. That's a talent you just can't teach.

good luck Chris. Break a...I mean...I wish you all the best.

nope. Apparently work out wasn't done in front of the media.

That guy has to be in his 50's by now...

Nope. Best was signed to an extension in 2012 that carries into 2014. Oh ok thanks.
