100% , folks need to cool the jets on him for now. Hopefully this continues but I do remember him in this pre season struggling to make basic plays against 3rd string CFL'ers. But then again as I said to JuranBoldenRules .... Crum destroyed the Bombers in only a quarter so in the CFL game who knows what anything means these days.

Are you suggesting that the level of talent on the field during a CFL game surpasses the level of talent in an NFL pre season game? The answer is no. If you want me to find a game where a back up came back from a large deficit.... Crum coming back from a 19 point deficit in the 4th quarter against the Bombers in the CFL this year. The guy is playing with a lot of sub par talent against the premiere defense of the league and made it look easy. Crum also sucks massively and had one good night where the stars aligned and I'd never want him to be on our team. Brown I hope and am sure is nothing like Crum, but before annointing him as better then a Bomber legend, maybe pump the brakes and don't set his bar as of today as an elite player just yet.

I know his actual game playing time was limited, but during his 2022 pre season dream run and the limited times he's seen the field he was primarily passing. The NFL doesn't bring up guys strictly to run sneaks and trick plays. Strev has all the physical tools and 5 years ago he was able to get on the field and make quick decisions and place balls in areas where only the receivers could catch while in stride. I would only imagine hes improved with top tier training so he'd be even better then what we saw back in the day. I also wouldn't say "never" put up a game like this, I'm pretty sure a Grey Cup winning QB who has gone to the NFL for 3- 4 years can come back and put up a great game. We've seen flash in the pan QB's in this league put up big numbers with far inferior talent surrounding them and also not playing against the worst team possibly in CFL history. I hope Brown keeps it up because last season he did show well and I was somewhat worried since he looked bad in this years pre season. I'm also hoping that he doesn't show too well and Edmonton or Ottawa do not offer him a massive contract to start for them whenver his contract is up. It would be nice to have a future plan at QB who can take over once ZC calls it quits (assuming that Strev doesn't come back to the CFL).

Leagues better then a guy who stuck in the NFL for a few years despite having the unfortunate experience of running lame trick plays that LaPo saddled him with? Strev could always pass, it was only when LaPo decided to overthink and create Mike Kelly like plays around him that he ended up regressing slightly in his 2nd season with us.

So based on the glowing reviews I've read on here about Brown, will this finally put a stop on people talking about losing Piggy to Ottawa?

I'm away on vacation, how hurt is Zach?

VAJ will need to learn the amazing spin move from FAJ.

They don't have a QB who can do short yardage. I agree with whoever said Pigromes just moves upright, he doesn't go low and dig in.

That's really unfortunate, but Ottawa h as only themselves to blame for not doing that earlier FG.

Kick it

Oh wow! Run the balllllllllllllllll

Good job Alford running 10 yards backwards

I just don't understand why they would be so aggressive and risky when for 4 quarters the O has been really poor. Crum struggled mightily all night long and he finally gets close to the red zone and they decide to get cute?

Terrible decision by Ottawa to throw I would of even kicked on 3rd and 1

#2 Ottawa with the weakest attempt at a block

If Crum doesn't get a TD with this drive then put in Piggy.

Crum Bum , last week they had like 5 turnovers and he created like 4 points... this week he has what 6 points off turnovers? He's quite a way away from being a decent starter. Ottawa could use Arbuckle healthy or anyone at this point.

Why do they keep using the league leaders in receiving yards from last week? Why wouldn't TSN use current as of today? So weird.

Henoc Muamba is the only one on the panel that is any good and giving an honest opinion. Milt and Barker blowing Fine like he was outstanding is head shaking.

On one of the other games this week they talked about Saskatchewan having 2 receivers in the top 5. They also mentioned that those 2 guys made up something like 40% of the teams offense which is bad. I will say Marshall Ferguson when he says the word "out" it also drives me nuts. It sounds so weird ....

Crum is awful , the other new qbs like Powell, Fine, Dukes are significantly better then him. The guy seems to lock in on one read and then defaults to scrambling. He won't last in this league, I almost rather they put in Piggy since he can at least run and throw the ball. It's Crum, last week he had wide open guys that he just didn't take a look at.

I'm against having less games, I'd rather have the same amount of games but bumped up earlier in the year so that the later games in the year have a higher amount of attendance.

I watched the first 3 quarters and was so bored that I fast forwarded the end of the game. From what I saw Fajardo sucked majorly and Hamilton has a terrible defense. Hamilton needs better receivers in the first half they had 3 critical drops. They also took terrible penalties at the wrong time. Overall a really boring game. Muamba was decent for the limited time he was given to talk which was nice.

I don't blame him, why risk furthering an injury on the star QB. I am surprised however that they didn't just give Harris the 2nd half and let Oulette rest? Is Harris really that brittle these days?

I'm surprised that they don't have more people working in the booth with the camera angles in which they can call down for flags to be thrown. I know time is extremely short to make decisions but I do notice several times a game where this could of helped make a big impact on the outcome.
