Well, 2 against Colorado WILL be telling.

And I don't mean win or lose...we are obviously not on their level in any way, shape or form, but if we win one of them and put up a good fight in another, that's a very encouraging signal. If they stink in both...well, that's actually the expectation.

Hoping they keep things interesting during these last 3 weeks.

Telling?  If you haven't noticed we aren't good.  We should be losing these games and many others prior to this to improve our draft position

Sure hope the QBs have a good year and stay healthy across the board.

[I still contend the successor to ZC is currently playing in the league somewhere, and we'll get him via FA.]

I watched Perkins highligh reel and he ain't the saviour by any stretch. He's an athletic Qb who can run, similar to Ford, and completed a bunch of curl passes on his highlight reel, decent but nothing jaw dropping, especially given its USFL talent he's getting these highlights on.

Hervey gambled a year early on Taylor Powell, could turn out to be the smartest move in free agency, only time will tell.

I agree Zach's successor is currently playing somehwere in the league, most likely tangled up in the Argo/RedBlack triangle, between Chad Kelly, Nick Arbuckle and Dru Brown. With Dinwiddie now in charge of the RB's I'm guessing if they don't do well this season, Dru Brown will be the QB that pops out the side door.

Can't say Brown will ever bring the Bombers more GC's, but know he will make the team competitive if he can stay healthy.

What team has 2 starters that the will allow one of to escape via FA?

We had Zach and Dru, and made the tough decision.  What duo is at that level right now?  Especially with starters aging out all over the place?  Will a different team facing the Zach Dru question make the same decision we did?

[would they be as cheap as a rookie now that they have proven not to be starters, or do they carry a premium for their "CFL experience"? If they do, that's another reason not to have them on the roster.]

Perkins seems to have a far better UFL resume than MBT... so I'm hopeful.

And who know what other arms come into camp, and what Zach has done in the off season to be ready for 2026. 

With Zach eating up so much $SMS, we need QB2 and QB3 to be affordable.  For those asking for a Masoli or MBT type, would they be as cheap as a rookie now that they have proven not to be starters, or do they carry a premium for their "CFL experience"?  If they do, that's another reason not to have them on the roster.

They 100% carry a premium for being a known quantity. You pay that price to offset the risk.

If you have a rookie QB who is exciting on paper and plays for ELC QB money, you get to roll the dice that they show well and have potential or are a complete dud. That dice roll ain't 50/50, btw. More like 95/5.

I am all for responsible planet stewardship, and it is a noble effort to try and do it all by ourselves, but without more international buy in, we're bailing the ocean with a teaspoon.

And we can increase our oil output and revenue in a responsible way.  As Carney continues to say on his trade missions, we have the lowest carbon oil on the planet.  So, increasing our global share of the oil industry by displacing dirty oil is making a carbon difference.

You've made numerous claims in this thread but have yet to substantiate them with evidence of any kind. This most recent post above is no exception.

Kelley/Arbuckle
Mitchell/Ford
Alexander/Crum
Fajardo/Powell
Rourke/Brice
Adams/Walker
Harris/Coan
Brown/Maier
Collaros/Wilson.

Eastern teams have decent backups. In the west, other than in Edmonton, all the number 2's are unproven.

That's just straight up misinformation.

Do better.
