He was throwing the ball & completing passes all over the place & pushing the ball vertically downfield. Now, with Rourke, Hatcher can't get any separation because of his achilles injury. The other receivers suddenly can't block & they're suddenly a sub par group. Nothing about Rourke playing like ****. Campbell is coaching like he wants to be elsewhere next season.

Booch Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 yeah TSN is totally playing the excuse and blame game with their great Canadian hope Rourke BC effectively screwed their season bringing him in...If they felt the need to, they should have signed him to a pro-rated deal for this yr.....and had him as back-up to Vaj if/when he faltered...or got hurt....but nope....they went polar opposite route....and you can see the fractions on that team now....there were guys loyal to VAJ who had zero relationship to Rourkie...and you can see it If you want a text book lesson on how to screw your room...season....look at BC Happiest guy in all this has gotta be the Banana...he gets to leave that scene and very likely play for the Grey Cup right back there....and quite possibly get a ring out of the deal Tracker, Piggy 1, Bigblue204 and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real dumb thing bc did was throwing Rourke right in. They should’ve held him back a month easily while he built chemistry with the team again, learned the play book etc. even vaj missing shouldn’t have been met with instant Rourke play. He’s going into his sophomore play in the worst way possible. WildPath, rebusrankin, Piggy 1 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuranBoldenRules Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 BC was struggling with Adams too. They were on a 3 game losing streak when Rourke came in. They had games against Edmonton and Calgary where Adams was hit more than a dozen times in each game. His last start was the one against us where they couldn't get a first down.

I will say this that attendance was better with Vaj. The guy was having a helluva season before it was snatched away from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bit different for QBs since they generally sit for 1-2 years or some times more. QBs have a bit of an advantage when they first break out. It takes until their 2nd year for teams to have game film from playing them, with a game plan well built around them. That’s why the Sophmore jinx at qb is a thing. The team has built the offence around them and isn’t experimenting with installs week to week. Teams prepare for that qb and that offence, with film from playing them and other teams playing with that prep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even little things like tendencies and physical read give-aways take some time to find but once you've got them you've got them. Every QB has his tells, you just gotta figure them out. When a rookie comes in they are unpredictable because you just can't read off their eyes or physical tendencies and that's a big advantage for them. Once opposing defences are able to decipher that he (eg.) drops his shoulder, or points his toes a certain direction before doing this or that....the field shrinks big time for them. Just adding to your point...I know you are aware of this. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but why tf would anyone want to go to CGY right now? POS stadium, zero fans, owner who doesn't care, coach who looks like he's past his best before date....I just don't see the appeal outside of $$. If SSK or Ham drop their current starters and rebuild their QB rooms they'll have the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary needs to make a huge push for VA, they need to show the team/fans that they do care and want to become relevant again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Edmonton doing the same - the new owner may want to make a big push especially if the Ford refusing to play thing is legit as he wouldn't be back next season. MBT is a FA so he's not a guarantee to be back either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For QBs like Fajardo, getting their timing down on timing routes is huge. Cody is a perfect example of film study shutting down a QB. He is a creature of habit. For the first 10 starts of his career in Regina he was on fire, until defences studied the film and figured out that he defaulted to retreating and spin-o-rama when under pressure and then he was awful until he re-invented his game. Now defences have figured out his new tendencies and he has been pretty average to below average as this season has gone on.

I know it would ne funny if Sask ends up with the worst QB in this shuffle... but I just don't see that happening...

Maier has dropped big time, I can't imagine him starting next season. I'd imagine his next contract/team is a prove it deal where he is a veteran backup.

Stickem Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 Vaj to Cal....Dickie boy trying to save his bacon....Maier to Ham as I think Bo Levi is getting ready to pull the pin....Ford???who knows where...anyones guess ...I doubt he remains in Edm and a few teams including us might kick the tires...Should be some interesting qb movement in 25' Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
