BigBlue Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Does anybody know about QB Bo Levi Mitchell's injury status? Anybody can see he played most of the season hurt .... wondering if he had any off season corrective surgery or if he is just resting his bo-bo ... SPuDS 1

Yes, he has tendon tears in his right shoulder & elbow. Will have or has already had surgery. Facing rehab afterwards to be ready for training camp.
DR. CFL Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Rotator cuff surgery for a QB, similar to Ray’s situation. Not likely ready for the start of the regular season. Not something you want to screw around with for your franchise QB. SPuDS 1

There is no such thing as a short-yardage threat. To not acknowledge how good LeFevour is at it is to be deliberately obtuse. He makes it look easy, and it isn't easy. It's also not enough of a reason to keep him on the roster. Spell-check does not appreciate your old-timey spelling of plough, but I do. If you don't come here for trivia, then why are you here at all? LeFevour did it well, but I suggest we do a lot better for less than a one-trick pony.

Fatty Liver Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 I'd take LeFevour over Durant or Glenn based solely on their sideline demeanor. Durant Glenn LeFevour Wanna-B-Fanboy, Stickem, Tracker and 11 others 5 9

The Fever sucks.... You want a backup who CAN win you games... The Fever cant. Noodle armed max hall clone. Funny thing is, he's won games for way worse teams than the Bombers. He was never a great passer, but he could get the ball there ... until last year, when suddenly he couldn't hit a hangar door. Edited January 5, 2018 by johnzo SPuDS, HardCoreBlue and Goalie 1 2
Blueandgold Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 Our receivers didn’t really adjust well to the Fevers scrambling either. I watched Denmark stand there doing nothing on broken plays repeatedly. SPuDS and Bigblue204 2

I'm assuming its more so hes a square peg, round hole scenario here.. Would it be worthwhile to tool a portion of the offense to cater to his skillset? debatable but I think thats what made him look as bad as he did. Fatty Liver 1

I agree, I've seen LeFevour move the ball effectively in the past and believe he has the skill-set and brain power to be an effective #2 QB. Almost every passing play he ran last year was designed to throw the ball at full gallop to surprise the defender, I think if they expanded his responsibilities and options and let him settle down they could get decent results from him.

Floyd Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 LeFevour has never been a winner... he's a scrambling QB because he doesn't make quick reads. He has always thrown as many interceptions as TDs Never really liked this signing - doubt he lands on another team... SPuDS and JCon 2

I agree on Lefevour, his arm is garbage BUT you can tailor a package together that limits his throws to completely open targets only, short passes only and lots of motion, misdirection and heavy running. I think thats how he thrived (at times.. he had zero consistency) in Hamilton and montreal. Davis's arm is not a question. its his ability to use it. guys got a bazooka. He just panics and loses all accuracy when rushed. the game has to slow down for him or else he will never find success.. game only slows down for players after they get into a groove with their team mates and the offense. 1 hour ago, Goalie said: His inability to throw the ball played more of a role. in the offense designed as is? for sure. We could have given him a vanilla run heavy concept to use though.. 37 minutes ago, Throw Long Bannatyne said: I agree, I've seen LeFevour move the ball effectively in the past and believe he has the skill-set and brain power to be an effective #2 QB.

If put into a position to be successful, he has been. if put into an offense catered to other QBs, hes struggled. Hes too niche of a QB to be slotted into a regular offense unfortunately.

WBBFanWest Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 55 minutes ago, HardCoreBlue said: Have we given up on Dom Davis? Yes. He had an outing and did not immediately look like the second coming of Matt Dunnigan, which is the only reasonable standard for incoming quarterbacks. He is therefore a total write-off and needs to be kicked to the curb johnzo 1
johnzo Posted January 5, 2018 Report Posted January 5, 2018 It sure seems like the Bombers have. The biggest game of the season and they don't start the guy they've been grooming for years to be the next QB? What's going to happen in the next year that didn't happen in the last two? I'd be surprised to see him back. SPuDS, Tracker and Mark F 2 1
