Throw Long Bannatyne

Quote from: Blue In BC on September 07, 2024, 03:42:17 PMHe completed 25 of 32 in the 2 games for about 200 yards total. He showed a strong arm and some good athleticism and elusiveness.

Keeping in mind nearly all our offensive starters didn't play including on the OL.

So, he did ok. Of course the opponents were using rookies across the board, but all things considered I though he did ok. I think some people that went to TC thought he showed some level of skill. Obviously that's a very small sample.


As we all know a good QB has to have more than great physical tools, with Wilson it's the mental tools that are the big unknown, does he have the ability to process information quickly and react in an effective matter?  Impossible to determine without considerable playing time.

I agree and we've gone through many many QB's over the years with little success. Brown was the 1st one that showed the mental aspect of understanding the game early.

Looking forward to watching the Redblacks today to see if they rebound. Also looking forward to seeing if Kelly does a few face plants.
One game at a time.

With Strevy hurt, wonder if we pick up Dolegala?
Just gimme the rock.

The Zipp

Well now this discussion becomes more realistic..if Strevy is hurt as bad as it looks we will need someone:

Fine ?
Dolegala ?
Cornelius ?

A trade??

Wait to see how bad / length of recovery is for Strev and go from there.  Intersting twist to be sure.

Bomber Diehard

Looking at next year I would sure like Vernon Adams in a Bomber uniform.

Pass, good QB not personally interested

Zach is my man.

He was on my wish list when he was younger. But not at this point in time. Maybe 2026.

Here's what will be a wildly unpopular idea.  Milanovich will move on from BLM in the off season.  Trade a draft pick for him.  BLM with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove in a playoff run (even as a backup) is not a bad insurance policy

We re saying we need a good 2nd string Qb, poor Calgary needs a Qb period!!

I don't think BLM continues playing in a back-up role.

He'd be a rental but I am sure he would finish this season here with the chance to get one more ring.

He's the best available assuming Hammy would like a future asset for him. He'd do well here, lots of offensive potential.

Mitchell as a rental for the balance of the season and playoffs isn't all that bad of an idea - for the right price.
