PJ Walker stunk the joint out in his first start with the league's best team (IMHO) behind him at the time on Jul 31 -- losing to OTT(!!) 11-31.  "Sucky" Strev beat the same team 26-18.  Even backing out the Vaval TD, Strev's O still wins with 19 points on the board.

Is Wilson behind our OL better than PJ Walker behind CGY's OL?  Would you bet money on it?

I'd bet money on Wilson being able to throw better than Strevy..that's for sure.  I've seen it in practice.  Sadly there's this weird thing where fans remember CS from Grey Cups and how he played then. He's not that player anymore. 

We do win in spite of him. The D and the ST won last game, not the offense and def not the QB play.  Any QB would have won that game. 54 yards.  Sad. 

I'm hopeful Zach is back, it'll be nice to have options for plays.

I'd love to see Wilson in and not have a running back in as a QB.

Wilson does throw a nice ball, and has a good strong arm. In practice he has thrown a few picks. However, our D knows what play is coming and usually jumps the route. I also believe that if Wilson played a entire game, he would have more then 54 yards passing.

The big question for me is, can either of these guy win a playoff game.???
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Not a big Streveler fan, but I'll say this, when he plays it seems the ST and D rally around him and play unbelieveable football, get interceptions and return missed FG for TD's as they KNOW they have to do something to help the offense out. So it seems everybody knows and accepts his short comings and just buckles down and plays hard for him. And you're right, you don't hear anybody complaining in pressers afterwards, that's having very good team mates, and if Wilson showed anything in practice, his team mates would let it be known, but they aren't so that tells me its Strev or nobody, as much as that sucks!!

You're expecting too much, their main job is too hold down the fort till the starter returns.  Very few backup QB's are going to win a playoff game, that exceeds all expectations.
