I never understood why they kept Marsh over Nieswander.... the guy had horse shoes in a few games and nothing much since then.  It's not like he's moving the ball and making bad mistakes by forcing the balls down field... he just simply sucks ass.

Popp likes saying "Marsh Madness".

I guess the fact that Alex Brink had beat him for a spot last year should of been an indication.  

 

So will Montreal fans riot since Marsh is on pace for something like 130 yards passing and 3 picks?

Beck getting props from the panel...

Yep. Every team seems to recruit/develop good backup QBs except for us.

 

 

You're jealous of BC having a 34 year old QB who threw for 114 yards, threw 2 INT and has a total of 75 pass attempts (including tonight) in 2 seasons in the CFL.

Popp is the problem. Only Wettenhall can't or refuses to acknowledge it.

You mean the guy that's taken them to the playoffs for 20 straight years? Shocking that the owner wouldn't get rid of him at the first sign of trouble...

I think the problem in Montreal is when they had Cavillo - especially towards the end o fhis career - they had no 'succession' plan. At one point everyone was thinking McPherson but he showed to be no good. Remember the Eskimos who dominated for so long in the 70's, 80', and 90's? They dominated because they always had a succession plan at QB. It wasn't until the 90's started and they started bringing in bums like Archer that the mighty Eskimo's fell to earth, and didn't really turn it around until they got Ricky Ray. 

 

Montreal (and Popp) lived in the here and now. Heel - I get what you're saying but when you have one of the greatest QB's of all time playing for you and are able to hire a decent coach(es), in an 8 team league (mostly) it's kind of hard not to miss the playoffs. Not saying Popp is a Joe Mack - and not saying at one point at time he wasn't good - but everyone eventually gets 'comfortable' and that looks like Popp to me. Yes, he has taken them to the playoffs many times, but his shelf life in Montreal is bast the best before date now and that franchise won't dominate again until he's gone.
