I feel confident that a 35 year old QB, who has played about a decade as a pro and who has suited up for 4 CFL teams is not suddenly going to develop the ability to be a consistent passer.

Davis being 35 is not something I remotely expected, I thought he was 29 at the oldest

He's been kicking around the CFL since the Stamps brought him north in 2015.

With Harris back, it diminishes the chance the Bomber have of winning the LDC, which is a win I was counting on if they started Patterson.

For me it depends what kind of defense shows up.  If its the same one that came to play against BC, then Trevor Harris is not to be feared.

Idk. Harris is one of the guys who worries me the least at qb in the league. 
 I could see the road teams winning the ldc/bjb. This is the stretch where we need to win and be splitting or above. especially after the last week we gotta find games to steal.

Harris isn't the most talented or prolific QB, but he does know how to read a cfl defense - can't under estimate experience.

[Noeller]

If our offense gets on track, it won't matter one iota what Trevor Harris does...

He is a third string qb only. Short yardage only.

Second retirement for the team in 2 weeks.

lol seems to happen more to the riders then every other team combined. 

[Noeller]

One week in that province is far more than enough.....

[JohnnyAbonny]

To me Harris is the quintessential average CFL QB. He only worries me if we’re trading FGs all game. Guy’s great at putting together drives up to the redzone. 

[rebusrankin]

That's weird a guy retiring in mid season.

Both Riders retirees are OL as well. Might be some dissension amongst the hogs over there. When Harrison was a player in Calgary he wasn't exactly a popular guy amongst his OL team mates apparently.

He threw some nice balls to contestants on the Amazing Race Canada last week.

Mid-season for the team but only a couple weeks for him.  He was on their suspended list until recently as he was pursuing a job opportunity so he was already looking at walking away.

Didnt Councl just kinda show up to help with injury issues?...and wasn't necessarily planning on a full yr...I may be wrong but that the impression I got

I believe so yea, he's been working with Auburn (his alma matter) and likely is getting well compensated there. 

The Riders signed a couple OL, I'm guessing it was a "I can come help for one game but that's all I can do" situation, or maybe he thought he'd give it a shot.

The Riders foresaw this possibility and drafted a traffic pylon.

[greenrider55]

As @Booch once called him and had me lol’ing… Jake Dole Banana will be starting for BC this week, VA is week to week.

[kelownabomberfan]

I'd be more scared of Andrew Harris coming in to QB the Riders than Trevor Harris...
