And Alexander will be paid $600k+ on his next contract.  And thus there are the 3 guys I said would be the best proven and/or future GC winners to pick up.  (And are you sure VAJ isn't earning close to $600?)

Quote from: TecnoGenius on September 21, 2025, 01:20:58 AMHoly smokes people.  Don't you understand when hyperbole and estimation are used for dramatic effect?

In any event, I don't care a bit if they are 5 or 3 years short of 40.  They are "old" in QB terms, positively geriatric (as is Trevor).

Just because the CFL is hard up for quality QBs doesn't negate the truth of the matter.


Again maybe do some research instead of analyzing microseconds of offsides instead of swallowing your shoe and claiming it was intentional

Calvillo s best years were in his late 30s

Damon Allen's best years were in his late 30s

Ricky Rays best years were in his mid 30s

Bo is just hitting his second stride

Of course I was being hyperbolic and generalizing because I and everyone else here knows that not a single starting QB in the CFL right now is 40 or over.  Do you really think that I don't know Zach, our QB, isn't 40?

Even Trevor, the oldest, is only 39.

Eat your shoe.  You're being pedantic, and the point went completely over your head.  I guess next time I'll have to say 70 so it's a little more obvious to the peanut gallery.

Hey, I'm all for this 1919 style football offense as long as it wins.

Oshea gaslighting/trolling the media that 54 yards passing is great because we won will be hilarious

If this team is in the grey cup and wins I'll gladly  eat my jersey

Let's be realistic and admit that Streveler isn't in our future plans for next year. The BB needs backup plans quick and it's can't wait.

I'm not convinced of that.  Sometimes I'm like "he's gone", sometimes I'm like "we'll keep him".

If Strev stays over .500 in his 2025 starts, AND if Wilson gets dropped (very possible) as a never-will-be-legit-starter, then almost guaranteed we'll keep Strev.  He adds vet experience and is a high-percentage SYer.  And we can hope his knee keeps improving.  If he ever gets that brace off, his speed will double.

Alexander proved last night that he will be worth that.

VA3 is proving that he may not be.

MTL has 4 QB's on the AR, and Dukes on the PR.  Any of the 5 have proven to be much better than Streveler as a QB, statistically.

Having Cavillo as your OC might be a pretty big advantage.
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

Makes you realize the difficulty the Bombers face, they got lucky once plucking Zach off the tree at the height of his game to propel them over the top. The few candidates that will be available to replace him are not of the same quality, so the transition is likely to be rough and unsatisfactory. Won't worry about the rule change much, if the Bombers suck!

Cruel reality when the ticking clock on the starting QB nears expiration and they realize they haven't planted a single seed in their garden to replace the old vine.  Much time has been wasted with no succession plan, are they hoping to get lucky twice?
