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

Last post by blue_or_die - March 25, 2026, 07:57:50 PMWell, 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.

Last post by blue_or_die - March 25, 2026, 07:47:43 PMQuote from: theaardvark on March 25, 2026, 04:20:32 PMPerkins 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.

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.

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

We can product the lowest carbon petrochemicals in the world, and we can provide a lower cost alternative to the Mid East, which it looks like will be an issue going forward. For all we know, tomorrow, 20% of the entire supply of oil could disappear. And much as we'd all like oil use to drop to zero, its not going to happen.
So, as a country, we need to take advantage of this resource while we can. And we can build the best refineries to do it the best way, we have the technology, the resources and the manpower.
Oil is going to be sold, no matter what we do in protest. Not being one of the ones selling it doesn't mean less will be sold, only that we won't have the resources to make if less impactful, and to have the money to help the world wean off it.
Is there a 50 year window of opportunity at present levels to recoup investment on oil? Nope. But there is at least 25 years. Instead of leaving 200 years worth in the ground, and shipping what we do remove in its raw form for others to profit from, we need to do it all here. And there's no reason we can't get to it quickly.

A solid win against a playoff team. Almost makes you think they have a chance at the playoffs...
The Knights, Oilers, and Ducks would be fighting for a wild card in every other division. The Knights are really not a great team.
