We need a QB for the be future and a good backup!

[Austin85]

The management has to wake up it's time. We need to have a future QB. Why we signed Collaros next year I do not understand. Thank you number 8 for all your play but father time is here. I mean really come on we have to develop a QB. Not sure if Elgersma is the guy or we give Wilson a shot or we sign a young free agent. Not only that we have some old players and god bless them, I love what they have done for the blue and gold and they will never be forgotten. You know i do not want the blue to go into a cycle like edmonton. We must improve and it starts behind centre.

I d go after MBT or fajardo, both playing better than anything we ve seen this year, but then again, their O lines are much better than ours.

I don't know why we haven't brought in suk Chung to help out our pathetic line. He's sitting on th couch at home, all star lineman, bring him in for the remaining games and sit Wallace the heck down. Do something, staying out with that line is insane, just insane. And for all Walters has done for us, he's failed brutally this year—never replaced the all star CB we lost, never replaced the all star NAT guard we lost and never came close to replacing Kenny Lawler. You get like for like replacements for those 3 players, the majority of our problems ar solved.

WFC can't dev a QB.  It's not happening.  And the once every 20 years you do (Dru Brown) the timing is all messed up so you have to let him walk.  Murphy's law.  And Dru hasn't shown he'd be a GC-caliber QB anyhow (yet?).

Nope, you do what we've always done and bring in a top FA for top QB $.  That's why I don't worry too much.  Find a way to steal Alexander away, though yes you'll probably have to wait for a contract year.  CGY finally stole VAJ away, from a West rival even: it is doable.

Or try to guess the "next big thing", which may be Powell (my guess), or maybe Crum (a long shot).  That's what we did with Nichols.

[Austin85]

Your right we probably cannot develop one, but we need to scout better QB's. I'm not saying Wilson isn't a prospect but there are ones out there. Streveler is not a starter or back up. There are other teams in our league that are in the same boat as far as developing a QB. Hopefully we can find the one that stays with us and doesn't leave for the $ of the NFL. I'm old I'm 65 I remember when players came to the CFL from USA colleges cause the NFL passed them over. God lots of the NFL players could not play in our league cause if our great field dimensions and style of play.

Is Elgersma not an option? He has the advantage of familiarity with cdn football. There may be growing pains but if you have a Fajardo/BT, or even Collaros it will be mitigated
 The biggest challenge would be OShea giving him an opportunity. Maybe thats a factor in Elgersma not having signed 

[TecnoGenius]

I think scouting/dev'ing a guy who can win you .500 is much more realistic, and something that should be aimed for.  You get him on ELC for 2 years, and then very cheap in year 3 (and maybe 4) because he hasn't proven much yet.

In that time you get a guy that can keep you winning some if/when your #1 goes down.  Strev has actually been that guy!  Dru was kind of that guy too, but showed a much higher ceiling.  Wilson does not appear to be that guy.

Stumbling upon a Kelly or Alexander is like finding unicorn farts.  Happens for maybe 1 team in the whole CFL every 1-3 years.  We're a top team with tons of real money, offer top $, make better use of MMM, and spend it to get the best QB.

No he's not. I saw him play in the Vanier Cup and he stunk in the big game, and if you can't perform at the college level, forget the pros.

[TecnoGenius]

Could have just been a bad game, though.  Any given Sunday.  Zach has had horrible post-season games before, too.

[tlf]

Fajardo please.. make the trade Kyle!  Remember the Zach trade? Do it.

That's not a reason to count a QB out.  Look at the whole resume.

Ya, i know what you're saying, but if you can't produce in the big game in college ball, you mean to tell me he's ready to make the jump to the pros?? I don't think so.

I for one, like that idea!!

[Blue In BC]

I don't think I'd want MBT in Winnipeg. At best he'd be a short term answer and he can be both hot and cold. Fajardo or Ford might be available in free agency or trade, but at what cost? Ford is not a starter yet and might never be. He might be an interesting # 2 QB for the right price if we were solid at # 1.

I don't think with Collaros age and injury history we can say that. We might squeeze one more season out of him?

Hopefully we have a great one on our PR that we bring in for TC 2026 that will develop quickly!!! Maybe it's Elgersma?

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Ford might be the only QB in the country worse at reading a defense and running through progressions than Streveler lol.

Agreed!! Enough talk about bringing him here, that would be a colossal mistake
