61.3%, 250+ yards, and a couple TD drives of 60+ yards each. That is good enough QB'ing to win with a good defence, which is all we need. More than we ever got from Elliott, that's for sure.

One more win and he will be at the same level

Wait are you talking about Pierce this year or Elliott last year, hard to tell

2012 Elliott -> Worst QB rating in the league (20+ attempts)

Third most passing yards in the league

Exactly, and that's the whole point. If Elliott manages to put the ball in the endzone even once, there are no opportunities for bad coaching decisions or defensive breakdowns because he put the points on the board and won the game. But it just didn't happen. I just love how the Elliott boosters' main argument is that he was great at moving the ball until he got into the redzone, like that is something to be proud of. And then they put on their coaching hats and tell us how easy it is to fix.

Buck Pierce has already led a longer drive this season than Elliott did all of last season. Elliot was awful only on Labour Day and in Calgary? How about the Banjo Bowl when Elliott was given the ball on the Rider side of the field multiple times and never got a sniff of the endzone? How about week 14 against Toronto when he threw 3 interceptions? Pierce is bad, Elliott was worse. I agree we have a QB problem but I don't agree it would be any better with Elliott still here.

He absolutely did NOT get first downs when we needed them, or else we would have had more wins. People seem to have this skewed memory of Elliott in which he was a star that drove up and down the field all day, when nothing could be further from the truth. He was given great field position time and time again and coughed up the ball or stalled drives and caused us to go for field goals. People's hate of Pierce is causing them to build Elliott up into some kind of star when he was actually nothing more than slightly below average. Also love how everyone talks about all his "easily correctable" flaws like they actually have a clue how easy it is to coach up a QB.

Pierce only has to win 2 more games to beat Elliott's win total as a starter last season (in 9 games started), not exactly a lofty goal but it's the standard laid down by the guy everyone here is crying about cutting. I'm sure Pierce can do better than that.

I doubt Edwards dresses... 4-man is likely Kowalczuk, Edwards, Woods, and one of Fitzgerald, Lucas, or Thomas.

We already have one, Elliott was terrible

Must-watch http://esks.com/video/index/id/86335/category/1225

Good point, don't know how we could forget about him. He is just about as complete a DE as you will find in the CFL. He does it all.

Glenn tried his hardest to lose that one. Once again. All he's good for is an opening drive and then a bunch of 2 and outs.

I gotta say, I'm thinking Als win in this one. I don't think they're as bad as the Bombers made them look and they will bounce back. 36-25 Montreal.

And if Glenn is still the guy at QB in November, we know Calgary won't be winning the Grey Cup. Exactly my point.

That's all speculation. If a team wanted him as their starting quarterback they could have had him.

And even with those pretty stats no one wants him as a starter... hmm must be a reason for that

Watson getting a lot of love

It would be sad if it were true, yes.

I wonder how much they're paying Shomari Williams to sit on the bench and have 0 special team tackles

I only get it during Roll up the Rim. Otherwise it's 7-11 all the way... they've actually got pretty good coffee believe it or not.

As in Keron Williams? Well they've got him playing DT this year so he doesn't count anymore. And I think Bowman is on the decline. Either way, Willis is still up there as a pass rusher, we could debate his other capabilities but he can definitely get after the QB.

Willis gets picked on a bit because of the penalties and the personality, but he's still a hell of a pass rusher. That's not to say Hall isn't, but Willis is still a top 3 DE in the league IMO.
