 Who is out there? MBT? 

Easily a guy that would be a "Kevin Glenn" back up kind of guy.  He is/was better then Kevin Glenn ever was.

This is just patently false.

MBT never had an MOP runner up season so let's go with he's no Kevin Glenn.

Glenn was over rated,  MBT might be over rated also.    It's not hard to get nice stats when you have Charles Roberts and Milt Stegall doing all the leg work.   

Glenn was good at dumping the ball off,  but faltered terribly if he had to put the team on his own back.

At this point in his career MBT is far more effective than Glenn was later in his career.  Glenn bounced around alot but was not very good at winning games, he always came up short.

There is some serious revisionist history going on here....

[Brandon]

That being said... with our current talent with Brady and "hopefully" Lawler....  I don't see why we can't have a safe gameplan that someone like Wilson could run where the ball gets into our star players hands and they make the big plays.       

 

Hand the damn ball off to Brady...  if only they did this last Grey Cup

It seems everything after his stint in Calgary was down hill for Glenn, remember his second stop with the Bombers when he didn't take a single snap?

Hated when he put on that pucky green color but c'mon man, always? Little bit more complex than how you're presenting it.

Meh...it's probably a wash. Both are qb journeymen.

I'm not sure if I just forgot about this, or never knew in the first place. But apparently in 2019 after Nichols went down the bombers tried to get Glenn out of retirement. But he declined.

apparently he did. Stats say he was 2 for 4 for 16yrds.

Came up short... yeah best reason why people look down on Glenn... his physical stature.

He was a good solid player. The OG game manager.

not really. By the end of his career, that was his MO. Solid QB but not someone who is going to lead you to a GC victory.

Imagine, Walters brings Glenn back and Collaros never signs and the streak is still alive!

 

Ok, I knew he was close to nothing.

I'm looking at his full body of work as a whole, from start to finish, not just near the end of his career.

With this lens to say he always fell short is debatable depending on the KPI's one is using.

I think it's abundantly clear after the past few years that Zach collaros isn't the reason the drought ended. 

Thank Andrew Harris, thank the defense.

I mean you can just say he is one of the reasons we broke the drought. We weren't winning in 2019 with just Strev on one leg at QB.

That's because there's no one singular reason/player... he was one piece of the puzzle ....

You think they're winning in 2019 and 2021 with Kevin Glenn?  Highly unlikely but I guess anything is possible.

sure. His full body of work will show you that he comes up short in almost every big game he's ever played in (in the CFL).

That's a solid amount. But with him and Rose on the DL they'll be very good.

[TBURGESS]

Without Collaros, we don't even make it to the first GC that we won.

I think that if Kevin Glenn hadn't broken his arm back in the 2007 East Final, the drought would have ended 10 years earlier than it did.

changed year because I got it wrong

I don't see us winning with a guy who was 40 and then 42, so I agree its unlikely.

agreed. That pass to Darvin Adams down the sideline just over top of Robertson was a thing of beauty!
