A better comparison is Drew Willy.  Looked like a world beater for 6-9 games?  Then...

Alexander could be the next Willy.  Or he could be the next Rourke... I wouldn't bet either way at the moment!!

Who other than him thought Maas/Fajardo was a winning combination.

I think what he's done with USA scouting has been too good to be sheer luck.  However, betting the farm on Maas/Cody may have been a big gamble with a large degree of luck.  They could have easily gone the other way and stunk it up like when they wore green.  Ya, I bet he some some glimmers of good, but by no means was it a slam dunk they were going to be GC material.

Dancing Danny Machoka!! Will never forget when he thought Esks won the GC when the game was still not over in a GC overtime game some 20+ years ago! :)

Alexander has been impressive. Athletic, good arm strength and accuracy. Seems to have have football IQ and can read defences. I'm impressed.
