Booch

And basically poor management from Jonsie and Co. to roll with Glenn this season rather than develop a new young guy, or have did whatever it took to get an established young back-up via trade to groom for the season and onward. Instead of scrap heap Glenn and pipe dream about Vince Young. For all intents and purposes a total waste of a year as it is pretty universally agreed that the Riders were in no way, no how ever going to challenge for the Cup this year, and really even getting into the play-offs would have been a stretch. Jones was just looking at saving his backside and his ego with the hopes of a slight increase in wins over last year to show he had made progress and deserved a 3rd year, so hitched his wagon to Glenn. Been probably more wise to roll with Bridge, Williams, or actually recruit a quality new guy and seen what you had there rather than plod along with Glenn and his 1 great game once every 4 or 5 with a so-so and usually 2-3 classic Glenn masterpieces mixed in

Glenn always puts up numbers..but not wins..17 years in league and more losses than wins and never performed in a big game to win anything...what more do you need to analyze. He will put up some nice yards this year..decent TD totals and a whack of int's many of which will be game crippling and you will end up with 5-6 wins this year..just a typical Kevin Glenn season and sadly you will be stuck with him next year..or an inexperienced tandem of Adams and Bridge next year which will prob net you the same..maybe 8 wins..

So I guess Riley has even worse ham and egger numbers than Nichols and BLM is very close as a ham and egger cause they had all these comebacks too eh based on your pee brained logic? Also yes Nichols is better as he gets wins. Glenn..gives wins away with picks and turtleing when going gets tough. What's Glenn's win loss record over last 2 years compared to Nichols..that should say who is better...no?

No...it's a stat about QB's when trailing and or tied in the fourth...not necessarily about how many butt whoopings someone orchestrated...It just shows that in the clutch..these guys produce the most

Yeah I only used Scrub as that's what posters on Ridefans refer to him as lol ....not my opinion

Since 2015, only two quarterbacks have recorded 10+ game-winning drives while trailing or tied in the fourth quarter: Mike Reilly (12) and Matt Nichols (10). In the same span, Trevor Harris has eight and Bo Levi Mitchell seven. So far this season, Reilly leads the league with four of these drives and Nichols is right behind him with three Scrub Nichols with a bit more extended stats to say otherwise that he is becoming a top tier QB

Yeah I think if we game plan properly we should be able to wear that dline down and run it down their throats, or kill them with the screens and flats type stuff until they start to creep up[ and cheat then burn em mid to deep

I think how I would take it and from my experience you can have soreness somewhere and it doesn't really impede what your doing, just a nuisance, but having pain when doing it hinders you and doesn't allow you to be fully effective Just like the age old saying from a coach..."are you hurt?..or injured?..if you're only hurt then get back out there"

guess that will crush their Franklin fantasies

Thats all it was...a bad BC showing. Jennings wasn't ready and by the time he was yanked the game had got out of hand and that lack of B.C preparedness and attitude wasn't something they were gonna come back from...they packed it in plain and simple. Lulay starts and has the success he had before...and he would have that game would have taken a completely different complexion and direction...But I glad...helped us out big time and Sask is in no way shape or form a threat to overtake us regardless

heck..he was his whole career...can imagine what his stats would have been if he trained..didnt smoke...didn't go out late most nights. I used to bounce at Teaser's and don't remember how many times he would be there till close...most times flying solo. Didn't behave or act recklessly and anything like that, but isn't good to be playing a pro sport with how he went about it off feild...just shows how truly gifted and amazing he was truth be told....

He's had a few seasons kicking around down there...couldn't really fill a role of a true DE or a OLB...so can't see it after a year here..maybe 2 strong seasons being really dominant perhaps

Just because a guy doesn't have a ring, or set the world afire in the play-offfs doesn't mean they are not elite..leagues are littered with superstars who never won the big one, or didn't have stellar numbers...bug whip BLM has actually shat the bed more than he has won in playoff crunch time, so is he not elite then as he is far from consistent in getting his team to win in the play-offs. Calvillo as well lost more than he won in cups, so that would say he wasn't consistent and sub par too then...correct? To be honest, I think that Nichols right now is the only guy I'd want running this team if I had a choice..his tea mates seem to echo what he means to them and the team. I as well was not a big time Nichols supporter either, but he has won me over, and from what I hear from people involved with actually playing, and playing against him, he is very well respected and a guy that guys would love to play with...for what its worth

at least when Nichols misses with the long ball it's in a spot where it's either his receiver getting it, or it falls incomplete...unlike Jennings last night where he chucked and had no reason putting it there..double..triple coverage..not leading his receiver properly , or putting it where only receiver can get it. Perhaps that is part of his eliteness in that he is smart and doesn't take unnecessary risks if something isn't there and puts his balls in a good spot...point to ponder eh? I will take his misses all day instead of 4 drive and game killing picks

Yeah there is one where they have the Riders's at 4th..like really??

pretty sure that was a one off by both teams..ugly game by B.C....You don't go from totally owning a team one weak, to being that inept...Wally called it before the game and I am sure heads are gonna roll there...but thanks for vaulting us to third with a game in hand and if we win and bc comes back with a vengeance against CGY we sit in second all alone

Interesting how a season can turn quickly...I not a guy to what if's and thanks to what I think is just a one off by the Rider's and not a true indicator of what they are...or definitely what BC isn't as that was a total biff job by them But..if we beat Edmonton Thursday, and say Lions come back with a vengeance and beat Calgary, we actually will be sitting in second place. W e win and Calgary wins we are a game up on BC for third with a game in hand and only 1 point out of second. worst case if we lose and BC loses we still in third with a game in hand...not a bad spot to be at this point in the season

here comes the heart killing comeback lol

elite

sure he will...he can make reads..go through progressions and has a brain

It took all edmonton had to beat the Tiger Cats, we basically handled them with ease and could have been worse but I think we schemed on offence to play a safe game..see where the game went and adjust accordingly..was in no real threat to lose I don't think..so we stayed safe...no need to take unnecessary risks if you don't have to

Yeah it is pretty humorous over there on how most think and come to their conclusion.

one after this i believe

he seemed to elevate it pretty good last year in palyoffs...arguably his best game of his career...the defense lost that one...and yeah Nichol's at this time isn't elite...stat wise but winning percentage wise since being starter here 14-5...pretty elite numbers Guy leads by example and his team will kill for him..exactly what u want..U won't admit it but you would love to have him leading that green mess right now

figured it was the Lions...I just knew it happened and was a western team...just wasn't sure which one...thought it might have been Edm too
