Trouble For Vernon Adams

[TBURGESS]

BC says bone bruise & no ligament damage. I thought it was a hyper extended knee from the replay. Both take a couple of weeks so he could be back to play us.

This time the roles will be reversed. We will be coming off the bye and they will have had another game against the Elks. It'll be interesting to see how they perform. The Elks will no doubt try to take a page or two from our defensive playbook.

oh ya? Is that a medical opinion? Maybe so, but what shape would he be in for that game if he was to play?

I agree with brown as  Adams is emotionally very weak. When the going gets tough, Adams is the first to bail on his team. Lions are going nowhere with him under centre

Overstated on the negative imo

He has shown he has improved and evolved

I believe he is a good qb.  Certainly not my favorite but he is a winner.  Need to win in playoffs to take next step.

That is why I'm so very happy to have Zach taking snaps for us. Yes he has struggled at times this year but he has proven that he is a winner that can win on the biggest stage unlike VA, Harris, MBT, Maier, etc.

I could see him back wearing a brace in a couple of weeks although he was hobbling badly on the sidelines. I'm not sure something like that will heal quickly. Looked like an MCL/ACL strain, maybe both. If there has been any tearing of either ligament it's going to be more than a couple of weeks.

In the end I think V.A. will not be able to play the full season, that's means Dolegala is their starter, hard to say how directly that will lead to wins or losses. I wouldn't predict anything this season but with so many starting QB's going down, Zach may be one of the few that survives to the end, which should be an advantage.

I still say this looks bad. Certainly more than a couple of weeks.

Bomber players showing a lot of class to VA by wishing him a speedy recovery. Good sportsmanship. Hate to see anyone hurting.

The fact that so many said he was done was telling in how some posters approach the way they post.  A few wrinkles and they throw out the ironing board lol.

Very true and as we've seen with many players that go through struggles it doesn't mean they are finished. BLM doesn't have the arm he once did but is getting by with smarts and experience and can still play well enough to attain a personal high of five TDs against the Elks. I believe Zach has many good games left in his tank also and I would never bet against him. That man has pulled himself up off the mat too many times for this fan to ever doubt him.

Nathan Rourke signs with the Atlanta Falcons ...

If VA goes to the 1 game, do they just dress Dolegala and Brice? Are there any FA QB's on the couch?

He'll stay on the roster but not dress for the game. Same as Collaros did for a game. If they feel he'll only miss a game or two, there is no advantage in finding another QB as a # 3.

OTOH, if they do bring in another QB, that may be evidence they are not sure when Adams will be back.

[Tiger]

Harsh assessments of Adams.  you may recall we lost the Grey Cup to Cody 5- yardo.

VA's issue is consistency, when hes on hes been the mop so far this year. Based on info coming out of bc his injury week to week so they are not gonna panic into another trade.

No way does BC roll into the playoffs with Dolegala starting, if VAJ can't make it that long.

They will have to somehow get Masoli or MBT or something.  They need a slinger.  MBT would be perfect, he's good behind a top OL.  If there's any whiff of VAJ having anything lingering (or even if he doesn't), expect some fireworks at/before the trade deadline.

BC cannot afford to not have a viable backup in their home GC year.  Their QB is a mobile scrawn, and those guys are the ones who get hurt.
