#3 QB up for grabs

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Not a fair comment, it's embarrassing the limited time they gave Josh Jones and a few others to perform, maybe the last 2 min. of game one, and under 4 mins. in this game. 

Understandable that the decision has already been made, but Jones deserved a fair opportunity to demonstrate his abilities in a game, which he did not receive.  I don't understand why they didn't give him a fair chance to compete, Piggie got the 3rd Q in Edm. and got to show what he could do, why wouldn't they reverse the order and give Jones the 3rd Q in this game?

For starters, football training camp is not fair. Secondly, the order would have been decided by training camp where major evaluation takes place. Pre-season games are a useful tool and another way to grade a player, but it isn't the only one (or even main one) especially for two rookie QBs like that.

Same with the kickers. Liegghio had a pretty good game. But the 100 or more kicks and punts in training camp will probably go a long way to deciding it for them. No football player comes into camp thinking they are going to necessarily get equal time in pre-season.

For the record, Josh Jones is really young, and they probably had him pegged for the PR when they signed him unless something crazy happened, which it didn't.

The Riders won the TOP in the 4th Q taking away more time for Jones to play. Can't change the fact the Bomber defence couldn't get them off the field.

If they plan to move Jones to the PR no problem, but I somehow doubt they'll retain 4 QB's.  Real game action is always the litmus test, especially for QB's, just can't predict how they'll respond to pressure until put under fire.

Pre-season games are not the be all end all, especially for first year QBs. The game hasn't slowed down. They are getting used to 100 new things and they are often playing with guys who will never play in the CFL. It's nice when a young QB pops, but no, it's not the "litmus" test. Year two and three is where it matters for those guys and to get there it's largely earned in training camp.

#3  :Dhas been decided.  More experienced, and certainly on more production from training camp and previous teams.
Young kid given an opportunity to pursue his career.
He has.
He isn?t on par with the other theee.
He got time at a pro camp
Now go build on it.

Being cut on the way to a pro career happens to most guys.
Life especially as a wanna be pro football QB us a journey.

Wpg is a great place to be on. The practice roster.
The incumbent can  play another couple years.
The second stringer was challenged
Piggie is a novelty.

It sucks not to go play, but everyone goes through it.  and if you are 21 years old, my God you have 19 more years at least ahead of you of ya want it.

Let?s go!
