We need a backup quarterback!

Quote from: BlueInCgy on September 02, 2024, 09:20:55 PMExcept the BB are on the hook for a quarter mill minimum in guaranteed to ZC because of the last contract he signed.

Yeah, so we have Collaros for another year. I'm hoping they can re-work his contract.

2025 starting QBs

BC - Rourke
EDM - Ford
Cal
SSK
WPG - Collaros
OTT - Brown
HAM
TOR - Kelly
MTL - Fajardo

Alexander (MTL) will be a free agent, Adams, Maier, Bo Levi, MBT, Trevor Harris will be available. Might be able to grab a decent back-up.

I don't think Ford is under contract with Edmonton.

Throwing ability aside, Streveler has also struggled running the ball which is his main claim to fame. I dont recall him breaking through a tackle yet this season. Has he had a run more than 5 yards?

Quote from: Bomber Diehard on September 02, 2024, 09:04:43 PMI just looked in the crystal ball and it said the bombers next year will have these two quarterbacks.
1 Adams
2 Dustin Crum

Love these QBs but I don't see either happening

Has he had the same Oline he had in 2019?

Yes vs. Ott his average was 6.1

Quote from: Blueforlife on September 02, 2024, 07:49:43 PMPeople been complaining and piling on about Strev all year. To be honest I see no value in continuing this convo. We don't see eye to eye on this. Your said your piece and I said mine.

Zach for the time being isn't out long term. I believe in Strev, you don't.

Time will tell and I think Strev has a happy ending for us.

The title of the thread states we need a backup QB, I strongly disagree. Let's judge Strev at the end of the season, not after a half.

You don't know what I believe. Having said that I do believe you are a strong and loyal Bomber fan and there is nothing wrong with that. However also realize it makes it difficult to have a constructive discussion when that fan believes everything is and will be okay even in face of opposite evidence on the field. I'm not against Streveler at all
I simply feel his skill package is limited.

Ford will be a free agent.

Neither of the Fords will be under contract next year.

Yes I don't know what you believe. But your post helped me understand you position.

I am allowed to state my opinions on players,coaches and management, good, bad and ugly and will continue to do so. I have been on here for over a decade? Having plenty of discussions doing just that. You are over generalizing imo.

Goldie,

Were you anywhere near the fight in the stands?

My last post on this - I promise. My thoughts on Chris Streveler and you are pretty specific not generalized. But you are absolutely entitled to your opinions.

not far at all based on the camera angle but I did not notice anything from view point. Saw the video though.

You were over generalizing that I only provide positive opinions. That is over generalizing and not true. I have a run of being positive yes, but that's not my only mode or role on here.
