Strev started a regular season game for the Arizona Cardinals... He destroyed during pre season... I have lots of faith in him if he gets a chance to be a QB. 

yeah I came here to say, dude didn't get all those NFL chances just because he could run from the qb spot and be a gimmick. He accomplished far more in the NFL than Rourke did as an example. 

Free Streveler and don't run him into a brick ******* wall head first every down and see what happens.

Not sure how anyone can say they like Doege over Streveler.  And I'm not even in the Streveler is the future camp. I am however, very high on Wilson.

Being worried about winning games and then saying you'd take Fajardo or MBT...is...certainly an interesting take.

Seth Doege has played 2 quarters in 4 years... or something ridiculous like that. Is he even still playing?

"Free Streveler! Free Streveler! Free Streveler! Free Streveler! NOW!!"

I think he means Jarrett Doege who played with Edmonton a few games over the last 2 years.

Never heard of them, sounds like a baseball team.  I'd bet you a doughnut the Bombers don't put their future in Strev's hands.

It would be typical O'Shea to trot Collaros out there come Hell or high water so long as Collaros can make it out to behind center in under 20 minutes.

What kind of doughnut? Tim Hortons? Oh Doughnuts? Vital info is missing for this bet.

Grand Donuts on Grassie/Lag is good.  They use the old Robin's recipes.

If they make the old cinnamon bun I may move back to Winnipeg.

Collaros could still have a couple good years left in him. CFL is weird. Not the greatest year for Zach last year but maybe he’s on fire this year. I’m not completely convinced Zach is cooked, I mean the west final vs Sask he was on fire. Grey cup? Not so much but the game was close until he couldn’t grip the ball. So yeah maybe Zach has a couple years in him and we develop the next guy (Wilson) or he’s done and we go with the obvious Streveler as a transition to Wilson. 
 

As for Robins, ghostbusters were tremendous

Collaros needs too much help at this point. The issue though he's paid like a guy who can carry the team which means he gets less help.

I fully expect him to contend for MOP this year.

I personally expect him to be up and down all season. We shall see which one of us is disappointed at year end.

I don't expect him to even be team MOP. That is clearly Brady.

I see a hard time for him even on just our team getting MOP....Especially when he gonna be getting use to a whol new set of offensive weapons for the most part...we have seen how he struggls with unfamiliarity and guys he doesnt know....I see a lot of forced throws early on ...and many turnovers...again

yup...hopefully we dont over use him and pulverize him to a less than optimal version of himself...I think having Logan here is key as he should get a lot of work....or he better get a lot

[rebusrankin]

I hope we do a good job using Logan and Brady as a tandem. I think our offense will do best with a focus on a strong running game. I don't see us being successful with an offense focused on ZC throwing a ton. Too many new pieces and he's not the guy that he used to be.

He did pretty well in 2019 with, new to him wr. He also benefitted from an OC who knew what he had in a RB. Collaros will do as well as Brady does. Collaros can't be the guy the Offense runs through.

I don't think Zach will have any problem with vet receivers familiar with CFL playbooks as most teams run the same plays, it's the confused rookies he lacks patience with.
