We need a backup quarterback!

[TecnoGenius]

Dom Davis is the perfect example of a backup QB kept in a broom closet for years, it wasn't till he moved to Ottawa that he was actually given any playing time.  While a Bomber he was used strictly for 3rd down sneaks, can't recall if  they had anyone else as a developmental QB during his time.  I'd have to check but I think Dom Davis was here behind Willy and Nichols.

He got all the usual PS and garbage-season games, as well as in-game injury replacement and probably some Nichols-injured starts.

And it's a good thing we kept him in the broom closet because except for 1-2 decent high-yardage games when he was "brand new" in OTT (i.e. no film), he stunk the joint out and lost his job in short order.

Wilson looked good in pre-season but that can be deceptive. He seems to have the physical tools. Posters that go to practice may have some additional insight.

Did he look good? I thought the consensus was he just didn't look at bad as Barriere.

He 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.

With Strevy hurt, wonder if we pick up Dolegala?

Makes sense

[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??

[Blueforlife]

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

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!!
