Just wondering whether whether he might be a candidate as a QB coach? We don't seem to have one at the moment and Chris has both NFL and CFL experience.
It would be a significant drop in salary but his injury history will make it difficult to find a spot as a player IMO.

God no, can't think of a worse candidate to teach young QB's. "If you don't see nuthin', tuck it and run!"
Streveler as a QB coach...?

I'm not sure why people relate a player's career with their ability to understand and teach the game.
Strev does run QB camps and I think that is his post-career plan.
Dinwiddie wasn't a very good QB but he is now a very good HC and QB developer. There are many QB's that weren't great QB's but became good coaches.

The difference is, when a player fails because of physical inability, but still gets looks because he's smart, you can consider him coaching material.
When a player gets continued looks because of a physical ability but "can't read a defence" or the like, maybe he isn't the first guy to consider as a caoch.

Dinwiddie had a very strong arm so I don't think he failed due to physical inability. The ability to read a defence and make very quick reads, have the arm strength and accuracy to compete as a pro are all different things.
I don't think every good QB coach has played the position. Being able to teach fundamentals and assess problems, dictate work ethic etc are part of coaching.
Do you realize that Streveler runs a QB camp?
There are many examples of average and worse players who become good coaches,
And there are plenty of great players who made bad coaches. Matt Dunigan didn't have much of a career as a coach.
And there are guys who didn't play at all who became great coaches.
Terrible idea, love the guy but not the time to experiment
He'd make a great strength and conditioning coach and if he did it in the NFL would get paid too.
He is also extremely smart. And highly educated.
Streveler received his undergraduate degree from University of Minnesota in the spring of 2016. He has completed a master's degree in kinesiology and sport management at USD and is currently working on a second master's degree.
Reminds me of an SCTV skit where Ricardo Montalban runs an acting school. Everyone he teaches ends up sounding/acting just like him (including the ladies).
Imagine Strevie coaching every QB under him to throw with Strevie-style mechanics. LOL. (Love Strevie's unique style, but that would be total disaster for others to try to emulate.)

We still can't rule out Strevie as QB2 or QB3... Seems like Mafia is doing a shakeup -- but I wouldn't put money on this aspect just yet.

No way we go with Strev as #2 this year, no way. The 6 pass attempt game he did this year was a joke

... and yet...
Pretty sure everyone said the same thing in FA25...
We'll need legit options in-house before they rule out Strevie. Or he rules himself out first... but Masoli has proven you can bust your knee 3 times in a row and finally have an injury-free year.
I don't think it's a bad idea, but we really have no clue if he'd be good or bad as a coach. Career backups have a pretty good history of coaching.

Would that be last season when Masoli barely played? Can't see the Lions continuing on with him as their backup, he didn't look capable of taking over if Rourke went down.
Don't think Strev would be healthy until halfway through next season at best, in that time Zach would have been knocked out of 3 games. Anyone aware if Strev is documenting his rehab online again? That would be a good indication of his intentions and mood, just can't see that dawg ever giving up.

Agree, Masoli might have stayed health, but he wasn't very productive.

His performance ruled him out.
Some posts in this thread seem to imply that a QB coach in a professional league is teaching basic fundamentals like arm mechanics, drop back and how to read a defense. That's pretty funny. The guys he'd be coaching have been playing their entire lives at an elite level and most will have received NCAA coaching and some will have NFL camp experience. Assistants at the professional level are entirely different.
It would be like thinking a goalie coach in the NHL shows up to practice and "coaches" the netminder, "if the puck gets shot on your right side down the middle, use that pad that's on your right hand - it's called a blocker and you can use it to stop the puck! ...Yeah! Just like that!"

I'm pretty sure all of Strevie's QB coaches have been trying to fix his arm mechanics since 2019... AND his ability to read a D.
What pray tell are the QB coaches coaching them on if not improving their football IQ?
Quote from: Blue In BC on January 08, 2026, 08:18:06 PMHis performance ruled him out.
And yet we started him instead of Wilson or The Greek in that game he blew his knee out. Put another way: it took him blowing out his knee before we gave up on him...
The question is, does that last sentence end in "temporarily" or not...

Pretty sure he did a lot of BC SY duty (yes, Rourke does some/much too). And his knee held up for the whole season of that.
Never said he did much, just that the knee survived, which is, frankly, quite shocking.
