Who in their right mind would trade for Bridge?

The riders ran a bunch last year no? I mean they are a team that has to run a bunch because they can't leave their qb in the pocket to pass or he will quite literally get killed on the field, so it's run heavy, short pass heavy and roll the qb out heavy.

You know this was already discussed in the game thread right

I would lean the same way honestly. He's come in as a young raw rookie and looked poised and accurate with his throws. Bennett has been real good too though so I don't know if there is a wrong answer.

McGuire or Bennett... who would have thought that would turn out be one of the most compelling battles of the preseason. So who ya got?

but Toronto....

Did the bombers take any starters from the front 7 last night? And no starting defensive halfback.... yeah I wouldn't read too much into collaros night. And I saw them hyping up harker too... oh my, after doing ok against a PR squad at best... pump the breaks fellas, pump the breaks.

Overthrows with a strong wind in his first game action of the year.... holy over reactions Batman!

Preseason and all that, but a rider loss is always amazing.

The thing I liked about este in game 1 is that he always seemed involved in the tackles.

careful what you wish for Zach, the next hit might end his career.

that's perhaps a bit of an over statement. I mean I think everyone enjoyed Zombieland...

So I think that speaks volumes about the assessment that the coaches did. That offseason they dropped both Davis and TheFever and brought in a bunch of new backups, including signing a very experienced Darian Durant. They made their assessment of both qbs and said "next"

plus, you don't want to run the risk of having the people in the crowd shown. That would be a surefire way to get the internet censored for everyone.

It does give a good look at what the battles are and who has jobs locked up though.

Well if the guy doesn't walk to talk why assume he will talk to his agent? I mean you can reach out all you like but if the other party doesn't want to reach back what do you do?

Gee I bet no one in the Bombers management thought of that....

Davis kind of strikes me as a qb who can be thrown off by a lot of pressure. I think that'd be my plan until he shows that he can make plays in the face of pressure. Just keep coming after him.

Whataboutism right on cue.

From your lips to God's ears.

was wondering that myself, I missed the first quarter and would like to watch it.

He has shown better accuracy in other games. I would at this point write it up to young player being inconsistent. If over time that consistency doesn't show up then we worry.

There is that, but I get the distinct impression that Doug Brown doesn't really pay that much attention to preseason goings on either.

Bombers win, Riders getting the **** kicked out of em, hell of a friday night right there.

Well it was preseason, it was ugly, but god damn a Bomber win is always a good thing
