Booth/panel talking about why Cody can't get no respect.  I'll take a stab at guessing / explaining.  I'm qualified, because I can't stand the guy and want to see him lose, and lose badly, constantly.

1. The 2 biggest/best fan bases SSK & WPG both (historically) hate him.  Why?  Because he got fired (yes, "released") from SSK, so the SSK fans would have to admit they made a horrible mistake if/when Cody does really well.  After all, they could have kept Cody as the franchise guy all this time if they had wanted.

2. And (a lot of) WPG fans hate him because he was the evil green QB.  He was like a little buzzing hornet that causes you annoyance and bother, something you want to swat away while we're going for our great 2018-2022 runs.  And he stole the '23 GC from us on a fluke luck 3rd & 3.

3. He's whiny sounding.  He doesn't actually whine, but he sounds like he's whining.  Just an awful/annoying voice.  Yes, that's not his fault.

4. Obliques: one of the lamest 4 weeks in CFL history, as everyone tracks his dumb obliques going into the playoffs.  Turns out he was 100% fine most of the time.  Heard about another QB's obliques since then?  Ya, didn't think so.

5. He's not too smart.  He's like the dim cousin you don't like to be forced to spend time with.  Yes, that's not his fault either (probably).

6. Add your own!


Yes, he's not all bad.

a) He consistently outperforms expectations.

b) He's tough.  Except for the oblique thing he basically is the Energizer Bunny.

c) He wins more than he should.

d) He goes to bad or middling teams and gets them winning.

e) Apparently he's also the most accurate QB in CFL history... although that's an easy stat when your game is 90% short (see also: T.Harris).

Overall, ya, he's probably the Rodney Dangerfield of the CFL.  I still hate him though!!
