Runs an awesome slant pattern. Too bad we never run slants.

Howdy J5.  Maybe we would if we had a good slant runner?!  Especially if he can take abuse.

Looks like a great possession receiver with really good size, should compliment Pokey well.  Not much for YAC or creating separation but has some serious mitts and he's playing big league football in Nebraska. Wish Clercius could fill this function.

The beauty of this is that if the D line struggles, and gets no pressure, people can still blame Jake!

No way we go with Strev as #2 this year, no way.

... 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.

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.)

Loved SCTV, don't remember ever seeing that one, thanks techno

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

[anti Rider bias is showing Techie, he's a pretty decent reciever]

Your anti Rider bias is showing Techie, he's a pretty decent reciever

I never hide my Rider bias.  But your statement proved my point: "pretty decent".  Why is "pretty decent" getting a spot on an NFL team?  I thought the NFL only sniped the best of the best of the best (... and, uh, Strevie).

So I thought, maybe Meyers is 6'2, NFL loves giants... nope, only 5'10.

Sometimes I really don't understand the NFL.  BC's Carter going down, that makes sense.  Zylstra & Walker when they went, that made sense.  Singleton, makes sense.

There are about 15-20 RECs in the CFL I'd take before Meyers.  So why him?  The only other thing I can think of is he's still super young (25).

Houston never lost his job for performance.  Once cleared, he was back

CGY seemed perfectly happy to let him go.  I think it was more than just injury.  $$ and age worked against him.  And he never lit it up in CGY like he did here.  M.Sayles has been the poster child for sustained success after leaving WFC.
