BigBlue Posted March 9, 2017 Report Posted March 9, 2017 I am sure the biggest concern is not whether he can get into football shape by June My biggest personal concern is how much of his compensation is off book - - being paid by some sask' business as a "marketing consultant" .... disrespecting the cap can only be bad for the league. My greatest hope is he is western all star in 2017 ... it will bring more NFL pllayers up here So is Chris Jones an incredible mad professor or delusionally brilliant?

bb1 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Posted March 9, 2017 Seen way too many former NFL Qbs crash and burn here...and Vince doesn't look in great shape at all. Have to say if he looks good in TC might sell some tickets but if he doesn't it's gonna be a tough year if they force Young in to start....but it will be fun to watch ethier way.??

Spurgeon lose and purolator pat barnes etc. The cfl just takes a different mentality, mind set, and speed of play then the NFL. Its a rare thing that a qb goes one way or the other with success having had success in the other. Even the great old examples of flutie and garcia etc, those were a long time ago when teams still ran traditional american form offenses. Before the default being single back pistol offense.

BigBlue Posted March 10, 2017 Author Report Posted March 10, 2017 Having watched the news conference and followed the threads I have seen nothing to change my mind that Jones is desperate meaning going off book for his QB isn't helping .... might even be retarding progress .... Jones is putting a lot of stock in Brandon Bridge as his QB of the future and who knows if GJ Kinne can do anything ... I guess Jake Waters and Bryan Bennett may not even make it to main camp with Young & Glenn nudging each other for the season's initial starting role Trying to live up to former glories can make you do strange things and going with long shots isn't the step by step matter of fact way to build your ball club Strike one for pressure Strike two for a horrific offensive line to suppport QB development & confidence building Strike three for ego & narcissism Where is the next strike coming from?

BigBlue Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Posted March 12, 2017 I guess the big question is when do the Sask natives start to become restless .... if Young makes the team disappointment is sure to follow .... if not disrespect is going to show up in the biggest way possible .... even if the Riders had accumulated great talent in this off season, the so very many changes means its going to take time & patience for the club to gel .... what's going to happen 4 or 5 games in when there is almost nothing in the victory column? Will we see panic?

wpgchris Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 I doubt he'll even get to Preseason. He's going to get confused by the waggle or lose track of the extra DB. Either way, it'll be Keven Glenn starting for the Riders. Heck, whether it's Young or Glenn, neither of them will be able to through the wide-side out, so... Or, that wacky little fire hydrant of a HC/GM/DC/LMNOP is going to go with Young just to prove he's right and we can all be treated to another dumpster fire out west... which will make none of us sad.
ALuCsRED Posted March 13, 2017 Report Posted March 13, 2017 Vince is the lytmus test for RG3 in 2018. Calling it now.

Expand LMNOP??? I was chatting with a Rider fan friend of mine (a very reasonable guy btw, they actually do exist) over the weekend... I was joking with him saying if you put a head shot of VY next to Derek Dennis, which one will look in better shape?... he just laughed and said, probably Dennis... He's probably in that frustrated, but patient group... he doesn't love the direction of the team but he'll wait til game play before passing judgement...
