Not a tough accomplishment since their defence is atrocious this year.

NFL bound this offseason according to X. His mother apparently been tweeting for a couple months about it.

I would be gobsmacked if he didn't return for another year.

Anytime you are trotting out a 40 year old QB you are taking a gamble on your season. Especially one who playing the best he is able to nets you a .500 record.

Cody is a perfect example of film study shutting down a QB. He is a creature of habit. For the first 10 starts of his career in Regina he was on fire, until defences studied the film and figured out that he defaulted to retreating and spin-o-rama when under pressure and then he was awful until he re-invented his game. Now defences have figured out his new tendencies and he has been pretty average to below average as this season has gone on.

Even little things like tendencies and physical read give-aways take some time to find but once you've got them you've got them. Every QB has his tells, you just gotta figure them out. When a rookie comes in they are unpredictable because you just can't read off their eyes or physical tendencies and that's a big advantage for them. Once opposing defences are able to decipher that he (eg.) drops his shoulder, or points his toes a certain direction before doing this or that....the field shrinks big time for them. Just adding to your point...I know you are aware of this.

I heard it was chiseled on a stone tablet that he kept in his yard....but unfortunately it was all in Roman numerals.

I heard that Sammy kind of liked it.

Those guys are like 80 years old now though. The younger generation (under 50 now) never gave 2 craps until they had fluked off a Grey Cup in 89. I shall call them the telethon days.

Their culture will never be fixed until the sheeple over there that call themselves Rider fans demand they do so. Based on the delusions I've read from them since the suspension was announced, I don't think that's going to happen. They are literally furious over the suspension!? What kind of mouth breather would ever defend a hit like that? Just the most classless and delusionary fanbase. It's a conspiracy against them they say....SMH.

Me too....and I don't think it's petty for Jets fans to feel that way about him. He needed a dose of reality.

McGro isn't likely to be in the Pittsburgh lineup either. He has played like dog-poo so far.

That was the exact time Jones/Reynolds took over.

Reynolds took over and immediately threw the code of conduct out the window. He was the original culture setter that rules don't matter. No culture until he is gone. He cheated to get Jones, he then allowed...nay...encouraged Jones to cheat, who in turn allowed his players to play fast and loose with the rule book. It's so entrenched there now you gotta blow it up. Nik Marshall and a couple Crips wanna have a word with you about your opinion.

Paul Jones has had health problems that has limited his scouting ability. Outside of him they really have no one. O'Day couldn't find talent if it was dropped in front of him, they got the glorified donut/water boy from Calgary, and Larry Dean who knows nothing at this point and is a really baffling choice to be tying up ops dollars really. This is a team that is going to see even further decline of talent. They are leaving everything to an aging and in poor health Paul Jones. He's one of the best identifiers of talent.....but if you can't go look because you are 250 lbs overweight and are having complications from that, it doesn't do a team a lick of good.

In 3 down football it is very difficult to nickel and dime your way to points. Don't allow large chunks of yardage on any given drive and the offence will not sustain many drives. It's too hard to maintain efficiency for any offence up and down a field 5 yards at a time when you don't have any margin for error. One broken play or one defensive good play and it's drive over. Any defence will give any team the short yardage stuff all day long and they won't get scored on very much. It's what we are doing so well this year. We limit the first down gains and force them to pass on 2nd down. Teams run around 50% efficiency on 2nd and long on a good day.

I wonder if the water is brown if he will be surprised that people call it dirty water.

It's a passing league. Always has been, always will be. Can't pass....can't win....or at least won't win often.

We were so far ahead there were some plays we didn't even bother to line up before the snap.

I am not surprised at all. CRF lost control of that site when he starting letting Stronson do whatever he wants to do.

The pass rush as a secondary function is as much by design as it is personnel driven. Younger is purposely sacrificing pass rush for coverage, to some pretty good results I might add. Yea, we are playing with little to no blitzing and few true pass rush 4 man fronts. Its giving us great results so far.

Schoen's strengths are what has been missing from our passing game all year. I don't care what Wilson and Wheatfall are capable of, they don't bring to the table of our receiving corps what Schoen does. Different styles entirely.

Clercius still on the cheap, Dalton will take the obligatory shave because of his injury, and Lawler will likely have to take a shave as well due to production. I see absolutely no reason why we can't and wouldn't sign both guys and for a lot cheaper possible SMS hit than what we had going into this year. If I were a betting man I'd say Schoen at about 175k with minimal signing bonus but lots of games started bonus available. Lawler at about 180k...a fair deal for both sides imo. We keep both Wilson and Wheatfall and possibly go with extra IMP receiver next year. What a receiving corps that would be....Schoen, Lawler, Wilson, Wheatfall, Demski with Woli/Clercius rotating in to keep guys fresh or if ratio calls for it.

Worst....the ABSOLUTELY WORST thing you can do to a young QB is throw him into meaningful action before he is ready. The fact we went out and immediately signed 2 QBs when Strev went down tells me that our coaching feels, at the very least, that he may not be ready yet. Anyone who knows a lick about QB development knows that you can't hurry the process. Every QB has a different time line. What is universal is that throwing them into the fire before they are ready will almost certainly ruin a QB.

True....but the beautiful thing about playoff football is there is always a chance of a foul weather game. That can be quite the equalizer sometimes.
