Jon Jennings starting is incredible news for the Bombers. 

Maybe....maybe not.

My concern is threefold.

1. A change at QB can be a spark for the team, so if they had some doubts creeping in about Davis on the team, an early start by the Bombers and it could turn into another Argo blowout. But with Jennings, the team may have more patience and rally rather than folding up the tents.

2. A new QB means we have no game film on him this year to see how he fits into their offence, so tougher to predict his tendencies and game plan for them. Have seen this countless times, when a new QB comes in and lights it up early before game film on them leads to a more solid defensive game plan that brings them back to earth (Fajardo, Adams Jr., Dinwiddie for us a few years back, Rocky Butler, etc. Even Arbuckle.)

3. Although Davis can be a scrambler, the only game he really relied on his legs a lot was the Calgary upset. And his INT numbers have shown what happens when he relies on his arm as a pocket passer. Jennings has never been afraid to use the QB sneak as a weapon, and may be harder to defend against as a result, especially if he is not yet comfortable with the pass offence in Ottawa and decides to ad lib his way through the game.

Bombers' run D is exceptional so far, but they have not faced a true scrambling QB yet, so hopefully it won't throw them off. Having Bighill back as a spy on the QB would be a great benefit.

Honestly, does it matter? Neither he nor Davis is very good, and the Bombers D *should* be able to handle either without much trouble...

Jennings has not looked that great the last couple times he played the Bombers.

because he's not a very good QB.....he an DD are extremely similar players, IMO. The only concern is if the RBs get some kinda "Dead Cat Bounce" from this...

Nope, doesnt matter which one they start.

I mean in the sense that as bad as Davis is at protecting the ball, Jennings is markedly worse. Lots of opportunities for turnovers.

That's your opinion but do you have proof? I don't know one way or the other since there has been nothing in any of the reports that this was happening during Reed's first year in Montreal.

Jacquie, this is a fan forum website where we give our opinions & take part in discussions.  This is not the Winnipeg Free Press & you're not Bill Bradlee so [please stop demanding things you know none of us can provide. Tell you what, if you want proof then why don't you do some journalistic digging yourself & come up with the facts.

Jennings over the course of a season isn't very good as he has shown that he can't string a series of good games together but in a one game scenario he could get hot.
