Throw Long Bannatyne

Time to move on from the Zach era and there's no sense delaying it, he's inconsistent and unreliable, can't build a team or another season around those variables. If he played like he did yesterday most of the time I'd hold a different opinion, but that performance has become the exception not the norm.

Ya, looked like the bigger helmet, like dru wears. Probably a good idea.
Never go full Johnston!

Noticed he was popping back up much quicker than he normally does and he wasn't waiting for assistance. Strange behaviour on a few fronts, he may be in negotiation for next year's contract.

Unfortunately, Zach seems to have just enough good games to justify continuing.

Until the position is settled long term like they have in other cities with Rourke, Adams, Kelly, Alexander..

Fajardo 34, is doing his best Ricky Ray impersonation, how long it works, who knows

Zach 38, Harris 40...  need future planned replacements.

Ott, Ham, not looking good. Maybe we should have traded Dru at the deadline...
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

Don't know if that's what the Bombers were attempting when they acquired Brown but he's only the first step in replacing Zach.  Hoping they attack this problem with a full out blitz and keep bringing in QB prospects until they find the right candidate worthy of developing. 

It's quite possible this process could take 3-4 years, which is better than the decades it took previous regimes to produce a good QB.

I don't know how long the Dru experiment will take.  I was hopeful it would go better, but even with his knowledge working with Condell, it seems on a different team with different personnel, the results are the same.

I hope that the next training camp is an open tryout.  Elgersma and Perkins needs chances...

I think Dru is exactly as he's always been since he started shining here.  It's just that now teams have like 2-3 years of film on him with a ton of starts.  I also think he's very limited in what he's good at, and he doesn't see the pictures well and is easily baited/fooled.

He also has no fire whatsoever.  I bet it's this last point that cheesed off Dinwiddie the most.  He's probably like "what's wrong with you, man".

Anyone still thinking Dru is the man, ask yourself if Dru starting would have won that CGY game.  Good luck with that.
