If it was Streveler you would have gone on and on about how great Streveler is for donating. If it's not a big deal like you say, then don't comment. We all know you're a jerk, no need to confirm it every chance you get.

Hey I was checking this thread An seen this again lol........ if we are going to call each other jerks or any names that are not nice.... can we all agree to meet and to do it face to face ? Just an idea I had.

Some of us have the opportunity to go to every home game. A luxury, no doubt, and a privilege. It's also nice to go see the team win and have confidence.

I'm not going to dump on the team for going 8-1 at home.

The O still had similar total yards to when strev played. Just more passing this game, less running. We won the sp teams portion and our D made enough plays but our O wasn't great. In the 3rd Q we had 7 total yards, just after half so obviously theres a problem there that still exists. ZC played well, thought the game was exciting, playoff style... But our O isnt gonna be the reason we win, we need help from the D and sp teams.

Let's face it, if Nichols puts up 221 yards, despite the win, this board loses it mind.  

Fact is, we need a manager. And Manager Collaros is on duty.

Most reasonable people on this board (that excludes some), just want to win -stats are secondary to us. Nichols was a winner - he wasn't flashy, but he often got the job done. He was the best option we had at the time.

Collaros' stats weren't flashy, but we need to remember he hasn't played a whole game in about a season and a half...and he had only 2-3 practices where he ran our offense. He likely has a higher ceiling than Nichols (i.e. makes some plays out of nothing). Let's hope he stays healthy for 3 playoff games!

Fewer turnovers - Hopefully Strev puts some serious work into his accuracy over the off-season (I'd say probably half of his turnovers were from underthrowing/bad placement on his balls)

Why St vital? The stadium is like 10 minutes away. Should have done Garden City or Polo park.

Yeah, not sure why St. Vital but the space must have been available at a good price. You also hit up a different demographic at a mall.

And I would add that it's probably going to be easier supporting a store that's relatively close versus one that is on the other side of the city.

Well we already have a restaurant for the QB. McCants' only feat int hat video clip was to drag a defender 10 yards- big deal.  Wolitarsky has already done that a couple of times, once with two defenders draped all over him.

Hes more like 6'4 and the nfl doesnt lack for big and tall qbs. His college production wasnt impressive, 18 starts over 3 years between 2 teams. Never seemed to be able to be the locked in starter for a team. 

His raw tools are impressive. Good accuracy and touch, he can really hit some tight windows. Good arm strength, varies his release position and length some times to get more on the deep ball or get it out quick. Release time is good. He isnt streveler, but he is a solid qb athlete. 

Seems too inclined to take big risks, struggles when coverage shifts hard from his pre snap read. Was working as a QC coach for central Michigan. Good bit of talk about his football IQ.

People here can't spell a chain restaurants name properly so you can hardly fault anyone for misspelling a persons names lol.
