He's going to the NFL. Even before that he was going to the NFL. They missed him and they are kicking themselves for it. He has a place on a NFL team as a football player. They don't need him to be a passer. He will get some looks but what position is he gonna play down there? And I know you’ll say wherever they want to put him like taysom hill, but hill is listed as a qb, and I can’t see a team willing to take strev on as a backup qb.

Hill isn't really a qb either with the Saints. He also lines up at FB & Slot. The Saints just try to find ways to get him the ball.

I could be wrong in that though.
Brandon Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 I didn't say the guy wasn't a good athlete or a warrior.... but I'm skeptical that he out shines a tonne of talent who are much further ahead at other positions then he is. It's great for us (the CFL) bad for him.

Jeff Garcia? Farhan Lalji says as many at 8 NFL teams interested in Chris Streveler, sounds like he's as good as gone: https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/video/nfl-workout-watch-qb-chris-streveler~1873125 Answering my own question ....

Mr Dee Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 A stroll thru Blue Bomber Free Agency with John Hodge... 5 players re-signed..17 more to go. There are the must signs and hopefuls. 👁🗨 Top 3 1) Stanley Bryant - absolute must sign. Can’t believe we’ve had such a quality player for so long. Started 90 consecutive games over 5 years. 2) Willie Jefferson - I’ll do the back flip should we be able to get him back. i won’t soon forget his powerful performance in the Grey Cup game. 3) Chris Streveler - hopefully can keep this multi-tooled weapon in a QB package. Next: Darvin Adams - he’s worth keeping Zach Collaros - well, we have to keep one of he or Matt Nichols. Only the Bombers know how far Nichols has recovered from his injury. Nichols - still part of the equation? Michael Couture - I think we’re loaded at the O-Line but developing one and letting them walk away doesn’t seem like a good idea. Nic Taylor - Taylor’s stock just went up after the departure of Sayles and Rose. Sign him. Derek Jones and Thomas Miles. - Valuable Canadian back ups and Special Teamers. Drake Nevis - Can we squeeze him into the lineup one more time? Craig Roh - For the right price.. Jake Thomas - new career highs in tackles and sacks make us take a deeper look at the DL Bye, bye - Hecht, Korey Jones, Fenner?, Charles Nelson. Not a bad list but doable? Do you agree with him?https://3downnation.com/2020/01/13/winnipegs-free-agents-who-should-stay-and-who-should-go/
Brandon Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 Bryant is a must sign.... no question about it. Wanna-B-Fanboy, blue_gold_84 and Bigblue204 1 2
TBURGESS Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 Bryant's a must sign. Jefferson too, if he doesn't get an NFL contract. Streveler and one of Nichols or Collaros are needed. The rest are replaceable.
NorthernSkunk Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 So Big Chris is the top QB in the eyes of some now....... very interesting....

Just doing my daily Bomber reading and I am beginning to notice Big Chris is being viewed as being really valuable to the team moving forward. It refreshing compared to when many want to stick with the status quo at the position.

As a backup used in certain packages he's valuable. But that's it. I don't see the Bombers eyeing him as a starter. Bigblue204 and NorthernSkunk 1 1
Mike Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 Streveler is almost definitely gone, he doesn't need to be a quarterback in the NFL, he can be an athlete and teams will find ways to use him. Noeller and Bigblue204 2

As much as I don't like it. I completely agree. The NFL is seeing a new trend of athletes being used anyway they can be. Streveler fits that bill. Maybe he won't stick, but he most definitely will get a shot. Noeller 1

And in the CFL having 2 qbs on the field simultaneously playing for one team is illegal which makes no sense to me when Streveler could have lined up as a slot or running back & be fed the ball. The Grand Poobahs in this league who make the rules need their heads examined for not allowing talent to come to the fore. Edited January 13, 2020 by SpeedFlex27 Fred C Dobbs, BomberBall and J5V 1 2

Streveler can't continue to take the punishment he absorbed last year if he wants his career to last longer than 2-3 more years, NFL or CFL. It's up to him to decide what his career will look like but it would be both reckless and dumb for him to continue smashing through brick walls thinking there will be no lasting effect. Hopefully he sees the light. Mark F and Stickem 2

Hopefully he sees the light. I completely disagree. Streveler isn't a pocket passing QB. He's a football player. He can take those hits, just the same way any receiver/running back could. And he proved it when he was running over linemen and linebackers. Could he get hurt? Sure. But that's football. Blueandgold and NorthernSkunk 2

As well,,,does Streveler want to play another position orrrr is/was his dream always to be the guy behind centre ...I know some will say ...hey it's the money man BUT what is going on in Chris's mind ..especially if it means his dream of being a no 1 quarterback will most likely elude him down south...If the nfl looks at him as nothing more than a glorified running back, maybe that's something he will have to come to grips with...Could he become a very well paid qb. in our league eventually (reilly money) or is the draw of mega money down south just too strong...His decision and one I'm sure that has crossed his mind Edited January 13, 2020 by Stickem GCJenks 1
