blue85gold Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 10 hours ago, 17to85 said: worth bearing in mind that Rourke washed out of the NFL in less time and with much less fanfare than Streveler did... surely he meant to say top 20 qb in the CFL. It's definitely a click bait take. He can't believe Rourke is better than 1/3 of the starting QBs in the NFL (not to mention all of the back ups, all CFL QBs, all college QBs).

He has proved he can throw the football if given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voodoochylde Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 I asked the question prior to the first game of the year: will they let Streveler be anything more than a gadget QB? So far the answer is no and that's just wild to me. I don't know if it's a trust thing, managing Zach's confidence or whether they simply had no plan for Streveler beyond "Hey, fans love this guy and he's going to help us sell tickets." It's a complete failure on Buck's part to not only integrate him into the offence as a passer (when needed) but also in not doing anything to disguise intent or provide any creative looks when Streveler is behind center. It's a shame. Piggy 1, WildPath, coach17 and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCn20 Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 17 hours ago, wbbfan said: To ensure you get him. On the free market you have to compete for his services, with really no second guy available. Same reason ott gave us a low pick for browns rights before free agency. I think it’s a question of how much value do you give up? You don't give up much. It should be noted that VA's contract isn't terrible either and likely lower than what he gets if a bidding war starts. 1 hour ago, bluto said: Rourke is the low hanging fruit story of the week.

They shouldn't let him back at all, but if the Argos want this type of scum in their dressing room I guess that's up to them. Hope he gets booed out of every stadium including his own.
