JuranBoldenRules Posted August 27, 2023 Report Posted August 27, 2023 Powell's major weakness is low mobility/athleticism. If he gets moved off his first couple reads and has to get out the play is basically dead. He is really ideal for the more "West Coast" style scheme which is what Milanovich will fall toward schematically anyways, drop and fire. Shiltz will be a nice complement as a role player to run more of an option package.

Brown has another year of experience in a high powered offense but right now, both have about the same anount of actual game experience. You look at the qb situation in the CFL & where could they both end up? Ottawa looks like they'll stick with Crum. Argos have Kelly. Hamilton will probably try to lock Powell up long term as I can't see Bo levi coming back & is Matthew Schilz the real deal? Don't know as he's not playing. Fajardo is actually playing well in Montreal. I think they stick with him. In the West, BC has Adams, Calgary has Maier & I think Dickenson & Hufnagel see him as their long term qb going forward. Saskatchewan is definitely a place where either Powell or Dru Brown could land. Especially if Trevor Harris retires. However, Mason Fine has shown some potential as well. Zach Collaros is entrenched here so if Brown wants to start he then has to leave. Edmonton is a wasteland. It may be where qbs go to die. Especially if Chris Jones stays on after this season. But we know if these 2 don't re-sign with their respective teams that the Elks will go hard after both. Ottawa, Montreal, BC, Calgary, Hamilton, Edmonton and Sask will all be in the QB market next off-season. There's no chance Crum or Powell are taken into next season as franchise QB's. Both are on rookie deals, those teams will have money to spend on another QB. Fajardo cannot score points at all. They've scored 3 offensive TD's in a game once with Fajardo starting. Their braintrust might be stupid enough to think he's their franchise QB, but they'd be stupid for sure. Maier has been mostly terrible and frustration from Dickenson is palpable in his post-game scrums. If there was a viable move for them to make today to move Maier to the sideline I believe they'd take it. They will be in the market, and they don't have to worry about $$$ because they'll have a trade market for Maier among the teams that don't get Brown if they were able to sign him. Adams is just good enough to lose. I think BC will quite likely be disappointed at the end of this season and will be tempted to make a change at QB to someone with more consistency as a passer. Adams will get ugly like Fajardo as his mobility wanes with age. He can't play from the pocket.

Especially when we see them repeated over & over during a game. All it proves is just how stupid advertisers think consumers are. They obviously made a bad attempt to copy all of our 'jargon', intimating that that's supposed to be the way 'real Canadians' talk....especially when ordering a pizza...LOL.....IF the intent was to sell pizza's ,I think they missed the mark and they can take a couple of those piping pies and shove them up the ol' wazoo....They have to quit embarrassing us and themselves with that junk AND as far as the Save On Foods commercial goes....for cripes sake can't they change the theme up a bit....I'm getting tired of watching that little girl and her family running the aisles of the store.....I'm sure Jimmy Pattison , the trillion air' ,who owns the grocery chain, can afford to get some new faces in his ads........unless that little girl is his grand daughter and he just can't let that ad go....

Rourke will get a good 2 yrs worth of looks first just based on his appearance alone...as he physically looks like a NFL gm's wet dream...then we may see him up here

Just speculating, I’d imagine the Lions would want the fan and media interest of having another Canadian/Rourke at QB. Older Rourke was kind of the catalyst for their attendance turnaround. Also, the kid is really fing good. Jesse and Wanna-B-Fanboy 2

The "little" brother is listed at 6'5, 231 lbs... that alone (along with solid college numbers) will keep him in the NFL for a least a few years
