People already complain that the first couple games are glorified exhibition games and you want to shorten preseason even more?Not fewer games, but maybe less practice time. Maybe start rookie camp earlier as veterans don't seem to need/want as much practice time during TC. I'm just looking for some creative solutions, unlike you who just likes to complain. Yeah cause less practice time is sure to make those first games better played. You say creative ideas, I say stupid ideas not even worth considering. Longer preseason would be better for the leagues overall play

Yeah but the other guys - Dinwiddie, Brink, Hall, etc. - couldn't even do that much. They were much more accurate though. With a qb like Bishop you flat out need good defense and special teams to have a hope of winning cause you ain't going to get much TOP out of Bishop. Lucky for him when he was here that the secondary was actually pretty good and they had a good defensive line.

because it doesn't fit your narrative of hyping up Marve above all others. You trot out the same stats every time but they are equally as limited as this evaluation here.

Cause Bishop did one thing and one thing only. Pitch it deep and hope for a big play. Jyles was the same way and I'd take a bunch of those guys over Jyles too. I don't want a quarterbacks effectiveness to essentially come down to luck. But hey if throwing deep and hoping for the best is all you care about then by all means take a qb like Bishop.

There's no need to argue, both GIFs are just the breast... I mean best...

Well maybe Allen and Lamar aren't committed to Winnipeg and Hall is? It's a strong argument for cutting some and keeping others don't you know.

Daley only got the job cause Bauer didn't like Dave Ritchie so he wrongly canned him at the first chance he got. ****** Bauer screwed this team over so much.

Much more then Goltz, Elliott, Hall, Brink, Boltus, Dinwiddie had combined...... and yet mos of those qbs were better players than Bishop.

Dave Ritchie full stop.

So you're in favour of cutting a guy just because he didn't sign a contract extension?Pay no mind to him, he hitched his fan wagon to Portis a while back and wants to be vindicated for that it seems.I said Portis looked good in a couple practices. I haven't hitched my wagon to anyone. Where do you guys come up with these assumptions??I've explained my logic here. Not saying Marve will be cut, but there's a strong case to support that decision. There isn't a strong case and it simply comes across as you trying to justify your ideas that Portis should be #3. There is a strong case and you are 100% wrong with your accusations. I couldn't care less who wins 3rd string QB. Only in your mind.

Bishop threw the ball deep and eventually someone caught it for a big play. Guy was a terrible qb I don't care how many ill gotten wins he had.

why do you get 2 points on a safety? Why 3 when you kick the ball through the uprights? Why 6 when you advance the ball into the endzone? Because it's in the rules that's why. You shouldn't get a point for missing a field goal, but yes a rule is a rule. It's not a point for missing a field goal, it a point for kicking a ball into the endzone and preventing the other team from returning it out of the endzone.Then give a point on turnovers in the end zone. More excitement! well if you get a turnover in the endzone I believe they give you 6 points for it.

Yantz isn't going anywhere. What are basing that opinion on? Yantz wasn't even taken to the first preseason game when he was most likely to get some reps. I doubt we see him in the 2nd preseason game either. PR because he's a Canuck? Contract status obviously!

when was the last time a football team made roster decisions at qb based on who has a contract going past this season or not? Honestly the **** some of you people worry about is enough to make me want to slam my head through a wall. Marve is a better qb than Portis and if they decide to keep Portis just because he's got a longer contract then fire Kyle Walters right this instant.

because he would have to care about the CFL first and he just flat out doesn't give a damn about the league. Our frustration should really be directed towards the Free Press for giving the beat to someone who openly doesn't give a damn about the CFL. One of the things that made Ed Tait so good at it was that he actually liked football and the CFL.

Why on earth would he extend his contract as a third stringer before he has a chance to move up the depth chart or not?

Damage control, perhaps? More likely "can you believe what the stupid people on the internet are saying? Let's put that to rest"

There you go, crisis averted. Next time people should just listen when I tell them they're worrying about nothing, save everyone some grief.

It bugs me even if in jest when people talk about not understanding single points. It's a really ******* simple rule. Kicked ball goes through the endzone or the returner is downed in the endzone it's 1 point. Not rocket surgery there.

I'd be happy if they stopped feeding us the BS about listening to the fans when they come up with the disgusting looks they have come up with recently.
