A lot of the time our 3rd string qb has had all the tools but that is it. They end up having to learn how to be a pro QB but never end up getting there. Reading defences, accuracy, putting a nice touch on the ball, making good decisions, throwing the receivers open... Those are all things good QBs do.
McGuire seems to not only have the tools but possesses some of those traits.
Now like Ripper mentioned, it's about getting to backup QB for next year.
I think it's the special teams factor. He doesn't play them. And he is falling behind as far as being a consistent receiver. Does he still have potential? Loads. Hope it doesn't bite us. But the roster is an organic thing. We may end up signing a proven Canadian WR somewhere down the line when we need one. But we definitely don't now and we definitely don't need someone who can't help us this year
Okay so Woli, Petermann, Demski need to be cut? Just not sure what Coombs could provide us that we don't already have. Nevermind just an open roster spot
Wasn't Coombs more of a catch passes out of the backfield kind of guy?
I mean, maybe they have the best RBs? Powell is very good. Don't know why they are flexing over a preseason game where they were playing our B/C team defense

This game. Can't find the reference to his tweet or whatever it was
If I could remember his name I would have definitely mentioned it. I just remember he said something like "and this is why the Bombers are terrible all the time"
Yeah I thought a lot of his catches were times he was left open. Didn't really see anything special.
Kind of reminds me of that Canadian receiver who caught 2 balls in pre-season and we cut him. And then he took to the media to trash us lol
Just reminded me because catches don't mean you are a great receiver. Could have just meant people forgot about you
Well there is definitely a clear difference between Bomber and Rider fans when it comes to their sheer unbridled optimism. Head over to Riderfans and it seems they are pretty happy how the pre-season is going for them. There would definitely be a split over here of "well maybe it's not so bad" and "the sky is falling" if our team lost both pre-season games, losing one at home to the other team's backups.
