Vote for your three favourite Blue Bomber quarterbacks of all-time!

 8)

No Matt Dunigan. 713 yard signal game passing record. That game was a beauty.

Whoops!!! Fixed. You'll have to revote now though.

 :-[

Zach for being the best QB that I've seen.

Khari for being part of the team that got me watching football.

Kenny for legend status.

Honourary mention to Dieter, who my dad still talks about and compares every QB to.

You said favorite, not best. I didn't vote Dunigan because I don't think of him strictly as a Bomber. Clements wasn't either though I did vote for him, that was kind of a package deal, him and the Huffer (Hufnagel) were used like one weapon and I loved that.

Ploen because he's a legend. He got it done.

Nichols made me happy because we got him for almost nothing and he gave us a smart ball control offense that took us out of the wilderness and back into the playoffs. Is MOS still here without the Nichols trade? He was probably going to play Drew Willy forever, he is like that.

Yes. I chose the word "favourite" deliberately.

 :)

I included Jonas and Brock as 2 of my choices.

Jonas because he also punted and did place kicking. He was a load to knock down.

Brock because he was built like a LB and usually won the strong man arm wrestling against the bigger OL or DL in the off season league wide contests they used to have. He also had the strongest arm of any QB at the time and many since.

Tee Martin

Had to go with Dieter! He is the reason I met my wife (but I still like him ;D ) 1971 and I saw him and the Canadian game first hand (and met my wife - thanks Bill Franks!) :D

Tommy Clements will be my all time favourite as he quietly came in here during troubled times, and won us some cups. Loved his role out style and throwing on the run. Kenny Ploen although I never saw him play, is revered in these parts for good reason. And Zach, a string of 5 Grey Cup appearances, in an era of 1 year contracts and massive turnover, that won't be duplicated during the rest of my lifetime.

One of my favorite Bomber games of all time, tied with Milt's "Miracle" catch game.

Why not Sammy Garza?  LOL  ;D

Kenny Ploen won 4 Grey Cups. It funny how this team wins GCs. 1935, 1939/1941. 1958/1959, 1961/1962, 1984,1988 2019/2021.

Who else is old enough to remember when his name was Ralph Brock ? LOL Early in his career he would throw a shot put over and over. Hence the cannon arm.

Well, we were bound to get a good QB eventually.  The team was improving with Biggie & AH onboard.  Nichols was pivotal, and arrived at exactly the right time.

His game was far ahead of Fajardo's by '18-'19 (his last years here).  And Cody went on to get that cup, etc.

I remember he would challenge new QB's to a throwing contest from one knee. Don't think anyone beat him.
