Streveler

[jdrattops]

Streveler is a back up QB who has proven time and time again that he can win football games.  What more do you want out of your backup?  Shiltz looked like garbage last night in Ottawa.  For backups, Streveler is in the top 3-4.  I'd almost put him at the top of the list just because of the one intangible he has over the other 8.... Players love playing for him!!  I don't think you can say this about any other back up out there, maybe MBT?  He's also takes charge of his offensive and is "The" leader when he's on the field.

Fair enough but a back up has a chance to do better when surrounded by a good team. Alexander was an example of that last year in Montreal. He advanced to a legit starter.

Dru Brown advanced from back up to a CFL starter very quickly.

Streveler has some skills, that can't be discounted.

this was a very good to great game by Strev - very happy for him.  i hope he doesn't start another game this season...we have seen the not so great strev in the past. i am not crowning him as a legit starter in the CFL based on one game. 

i am more confident if he does have to play but still would be concerned with his ability to throw. 

There were plenty of naysayers for a reason...cautiously optimistic is my current view.

Streveler outplayed Rourke and Masoli. He had a better game than Arbuckle is having today.

Strev played great last night. But the guy who will really benefit from finally having Jarious Jackson around is Terry Wilson.

Thought Experiment: Rourke played for the Bombers on Thursday and Strev played for the Lions. Do the Bombers win by more or less or lose?

Here's another thought...Strevy clearly outplayed Rourke by a mile, anyone know what the difference in salary is between the 2?? BC is in salary management hell with Rourke!!!

He will earn his money, not worried about that.  A star and will help them win and sell tickets and merch.  Helps bring more fans to watch on TV.  I don't see it as hell at all, I see it as a very good position to be in, with a franchise QB in place.  Yes Strev is great value.

With the OCs as they were?  If Hogan/Jarious had all that time to prep for Rourke, maybe Rourke does better, and Rourke/Bombers win by a little less.

That game was largely won by the game plan.  Remember, it was Rourke's 40-50Y passes and 30-40Y scrambles that had BC even in the game.  That's far and away more deep completions and scramble yards than Strev had.

However, I think Strev was calmer and smarter in the pocket.  Rourke still seems to have issues on reads.  He's a tough one to figure out.  Good for our sake he still hasn't put it all together!

Also: WPG RECs way better than BC.
