Downtown Dru Browns 1st game back predictions

[Blueforlife]

Can he still sling nasty downtown?

I will say yes but needs seasoning and his success is based more on:
1. OL
2.Bbb

[Tecno]

If he gets 250 and D & Brady steps up, we can win.  He'll have a couple of mid & deep options from Condell at times.  If he can connect on one early that will really help things out.

Sting Nasty, lol.

Well, if Dru comes out and does a decent job and wins, Dinwiddie is going to look pretty stupid.

MBT actually got snaps, which is a troubling fact for Maier...

To the layman, sure.  But we know that a good QB might still be a bad match for a team.  Dinwiddie knows what he wants.  Dru can't do it.  That's that.

For example, would Mafia want to have Kelly?  Personal issues aside.  Do we want a devil-may-care slinger?  Even if he's the #1 QB, I'm not sure that type fits with the WPG way.  Mafia has always wanted the more cerebral QB.

Of course, no matter how much Dinwiddie explains that, casual fans will just think he's stupid anyhow.  Can't win situation for him!  Luckily for him, at least 50/50 chance Dru sucks mediocrity.

I'm in the 250 yard crowd. Argos defence is not very good. The real question is how does our defence play against Kelly?

If Oliveria gets going we can win this game.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

I'll be optimistic. Give me 403 passing yards for Brown tonight.

Corrected was funny yes

Dinwiddie will take a bit hit this year for his credibility regardless of what Brown does. Maier can't throw a deep ball consistently unless its to the wrong team.  MBT is a 500 QB at best.  Brown will have his ups and downs but will be fine if healthy.

[LXTSN]

Calgary just put up 59 points against this team, along with 7 passing TD's from VAJ.
Our expectations should be higher today than it typically would be for a first start of the season.
325 passing yards 3 touchdowns.
Toronto has a ton of firepower on offense so we need to score at least 30 today!

[blue_or_die]

I chose 200. Not because I'm not a Dru believer, I just have a hard time expecting Condell and Osh to give him a long leash in game 1. I think we will play dink and dunk (which gets lots of yards overall I suppose) and to sling it up at unexpected moments with some success. I'm cautiously optimistic on how Dru will do in these specific circumstances. If he gets better protection than I expect then I'm sure it'll be closer to 250/300.

It also depends on if our gameplan is centred around Brady, which it probably will be (and should). If he's putting us in 2nd and medium every time, then it's probably 50% chance max that we're passing on second down. Only if our run game is failing and we're down early (sadly, I've come to expect that) that we begin to go throw-first and even then it'll probably be conservative.

Hope I'm wrong and it's 450 tho

[bunker]

I said 250. I think it will be lower for much of the game, but we will fall behind and have to open up the offence in the second half.

Dinwiddie does what's good for Dinwiddie, that's why we have Brown.  That's my opinion.  Happy to have him.

I picked 325.  I'd give him more but that OL won't allow it. I like Brown's scrambling ability and he can see the field decently.  It depends on how much of a playbook we give him. 

Love to see us take down the Boatmean. Tackle Kelly hard and often. He deserves it.

I expect him to come out a bit rusty, seeing as how he hasn't played in a long while--hurt last year and didn't play this year. Plus he has new personnel to work with. But once he gets on track, he'll be fine. He'll hit 300 yds
