I can't name another QB who would be #3.
I'm trying not to be a homer, but I'm not putting any of the East QBs ahead of Matt. You can't rate Ray up there just because of the legacy. Harris can't finish games. Who else is potentially there?
True.
Mike Reilly got his shot late in life (He was 28 first season in Edmonton) and is really coming into his own. No reason why Matt, who is in his first season as a starter, can't continue to grow his game the way Reilly has.
He's not on the same level as Mitchell and Reilly, so no, I can't call him elite.
As others have said though, he's playing more than well enough to win us games and if the rest of our team can raise their level of play, he could be a Grey Cup winning QB, no question.
The post I quoted was talking about Glenn in his prime.
I can't put any QB who hasn't played a full season ahead of a guy who brought us to the Grey Cup.
That said, I do really like Matt Nichols, but we can't use what we think he might do to put him ahead of a guy who has already done it.
Nichols has also never started a full season...
Never passed for 20 TDs...
Never won us a play off game...
Maybe let him be our starter for one full season before you anoint him over Glenn, who did a lot of good things while a Bomber.
I remember Charlie Roberts was all offended when we brought in Onterrio Smith. Thought it was disrespectful when we brought in competition for him.
I really liked Henri Childs when he was here though.
My dad too! I try to watch away games with my parents to get in some family time (and ease my guilt of not visiting enough), but it's honestly horrible. Flips out on every play call that doesn't go for a TD and always tries to turn the game off early if we're behind.
