From 3rdDownNation...

...The B.C. Lions (5-3) will visit the Edmonton Elks (1-7) on Sunday, August 11 at 7:00 p.m. EDT. They will be without franchise quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. for that game and potentially the next several weeks due to a knee injury, with Jake Dolegala getting the start and Chase Brice backing up...

a) didn't know that, but makes sense

b) maybe it's easier for left-handed receivers?  :D  :D  :D

I remember hearing this about Ken Stabler who was a great left handed NFL QB. The receivers had to get used to the reverse spin on the football.

Reverse spin really does mess with your eyes. It is more noticeable with a striped (CFL) ball vs. an unstriped (NFL) ball.


Back to the topic at hand:

Vernon Adams is listed as the 3rd string QB on the depth chart. I don't expect him to dress.
