I mean, he isn’t wrong. Nichols did what he was asked and had a perfectly fine game but he threw for 184 and left quite a few plays on the table. And that’s fine when the rest of the team is clicking but he’s still not the guy that’s going to take over a game and win it for you. Hopefully we don’t need that at any point this year. This Bomber team has a chance to be really, really good at almost every facet. And credit to him for protecting the ball and making a few plays. And for being more mobile than he looked at any point last year. But forgive me for not being all in on “2017 Nichols” being back. I think we will see over the course of this season that this B.C. defence is likely the worst in the league.
Again, Nichols didn’t play bad, he just didn’t blow anyone away. Which is pretty much the best we can hope for from him. Careful and unspectacular.
