Faj does a random spinorama. https://twitter.com/eddie_steele97/status/1678990491667546113?s=61&t=_stQ2xKaj3IiEFd7rNK7jg

For as much as people rag on Faj, I found this from John Hodge interesting:

Jake Maier has attempted 14 passes of 20+ yards this season with two completions, a rate of 14%.

Leaders in the category (min. 10 atttempts):

🐦 Fajardo (10/20, 50%)
🦁 Adams (20/46, 44%)
🍉 Harris (10/26), 39%)
💣 Collaros (11/29, 38%)
🐯 Shiltz (6/17, 35%)

Ive been told by an ancestor close to the situation that MBT will infact not be easing his way into Ottawa.

[Booch]

from what I hear...Quite likely MBT won't be going to Ottawa....for what its worth

So he takes 5 deep shots a game and hits 2 of them.

it's the fact that he can't sustain drives and consistently hit receiver's beyond the line of scrimmage and about 15 to 20 yards out....or has any awareness in the pocket

[Geebrr]

I hear MBT won’t go to Ottawa. 

[Mike]

Breaking news: MBT to Ottawa

[Noeller]

He's just gotta be eased into the idea....

[Mark H.]

Good thing MBT is going Ottawa.  He will be a great help in easing the fears of the next convoy.

OH Hell no...he's ancient as an NFL guy now...and had multiple shots before....he's coming back to Canada

I am not sure what kind of dream world MBT is living in where he thinks he has NFL hope. Maybe if several teams around the NFL were to lose their entire QB stable to injury they might want an old vet presence to teach youngsters how to be pros, but even that is an extreme longshot and would never happen before the NFL season.

Henoc said on a Podcast that he spoke to MBT this morning and he is not coming to Ottawa. 

Did Henoc use ancestral spirit guides to mediate this conversation?

That's probably exactly it. He spent quite a few years in the NFL, probably thinks he can add value to a room. 

But it may just be that he's on the verge of retiring and is just telling himself, if that opportunity came up, then I will give it another go.

And isn't there a new rule in the NFL that adds an extra QB? That makes it easier to have a journeyman QB around and not always feel pressured to have an heir apparent receiving on-the-job-training. Might benefit MBT's chances?

3 QBs on the game roster so yep it does in theory.

Your regular Ballsy is a moron post.

Collaros, Kelly and honestly you can make a case for Adams have been better. Best my ass.

TBH - he has been better than I thought he’d be so far. 
 

But, as usual, Ball is insane.

He has been who everyone thought he was. Lots of stats that amount to not a lot. 

[JuranBoldenRules]

Hamilton’s raw rookie pro QB came off the bench and scored more points vs Edmonton on the road than Harris did in an entire game at home playing in Regina.

I thought it would be even worse than normal TBH. 
 

He has actually shown some mobility as well. And I say this as someone who considers Harris to be  on the all-time overrated team.

I can’t stand Trevor Harris.

in all reality....he should be 1 and 4 at best....couldnt salt away the esk...in either game...and lucky to have had the stamps early in the yr with Maier having zero clue
