Every coordinator and coach ever will have a few fans that unfairly hate him, however, in Hogan's case the criticism is very well founded. All OC's get that on every football team ever unless they are scoring TDs every drive all season long. Nature of the position.

We have no one to transition to atm, but yea, if he has not improved we need to do what it takes.

In Zac's defence he WAS asked to do a lot with zero OL or receiver support. So yes, it does matter what team you played for and if you are suggesting that he had better players around him last year than Dru Brown did you are the one making up things to match your story.

Not really. Some cases you get behind an aging out vet, or a weak starter and may have a legit shot at seeing the field. Elgersma is behind a very good QB that he has no legit shot at a QB controversy

The only way he sees the field is if Corral gets hurt. He is a far superior QB to Elgersma.

Market saturation is certainly a problem, however, as a former restauranteur the biggest problem is that corporate chains negotiate and lock in pricing on food that no indie could ever compete with. Indie restaurants start around at a minimum 15% behind the eight ball on overall cost right off the bat. That may not seem like much but that's huge in the restaurant business and very tough to compete with.

I'm keeping Manu. If we really covet Vaccaro that much AND he is not in the NFL, then we find a different way to make it happen. Stud NAT OL are becoming a rare commodity and I wouldn't trade any of them.

What did not work out for the AFL etc is that they looked for warm bodies basically because they wouldn't pay a living wage. I get what you are saying that work ethic, desire etc can lead to lunch pail QBs if you go out and get skill deficient QBs. However, in our league most QBs have a good skill set it's the intangibles that set them apart and that makes it very hard to scout for the next one because it isn't something that's easy to put your finger on until you see the guy in camp, and then in game action. Developing QBs is a hard thing to do, because not a lot of guys want to wait the 2-3 years it might take. Take Chase for example, one and done. Not saying he would have ever amounted to anything but he didn't want to stick around to see.

As it should be. Work ethic, desire, and catching onto the game are what sets our league's starters apart from our wash outs.

I think it's a matter of both players not playing up to their contracts last year and expecting the same pay day. I'm sure teams inquired on both and didn't like the asking price. Both guys were highly paid last year and were not going to receive that amount again whether in FA or in the second year of a contract. Once the reality sets in no one is ponying up big bucks some guys choose to retire.

It takes time for most QBs to catch onto our game. You won't succeed with a numbers game. Reps are crucial to learn our game. The problem is that nearly all the QBs brought in league wide have the physical tools to succeed. It really is a matter of picking up our game, intangibles, and the individual QBs drive to succeed in our league. None of that is readily apparent after throwing a few footballs in practice. Some guys (Dominique Davis for eg) look absolutely dynamite in practice but can't get it to translate when the lights are on. Other guys look like hot garbage in practice but are able to to turn that light switch on in games. It is extremely hard to determine what guy will do what. Not to mention, as Brendan Taman used to say, for every guy you get to sign a contract up here there are 9 others that have turned you down. CFL scouts for the most part just pick the guys with the toolbox, and that seem the most enthusiastic to come up here and play.

His ancestors channel through him. His weird takes are beyond his control.

2 year deals do nothing to increase their chances of employment. If you don't earn your last year's salary there is a good chance you will be replaced unless you are on one of these 3 year guaranteed money deals.

We have 9 teams in this league. QB development is league wide. Maybe one or two legit QBs a year comes thru our entire league loop just because of the small size of our roster availability league wide and the scarcity of legit QBs. We can sit here and bemoan the lack of QB development but hell look around the NFL even, how many teams are developing their own other than teams that were lucky enough to draft franchise guys. Even then. This notion that we must develop our own QB is not the best strategy. Of course, we should try, but really in this league there is absolutely no shame in just signing the most ready guy that hits FA when the time comes. There are only a couple teams in our entire league who are riding QBs they brought in and developed.

I would rather we sign Streveler and let him play on one leg than to sign Masoli and let him play on one leg.
