We need a backup quarterback!

I would be okay with BLM, but I am a little concerned with Wilson on the short yardage. He did a good job yesterday, but at 6'3", 207, not sure how long he will last. I think if Strev is gone for awhile, we look at a little bigger QB that can and has run the short yardage package in the CFL.

Jake Dolegala 6'7" 242 lbs....big enough for ya??

I'd be on the phone right now calling this guy.

If Strev down long term sure. Jake more realistic.

Pipkin is available.

Strevler was on crutches following the game so that looks like it will be awhile that he is out.

Dolegala

Long shot
BLM
Maier

Maybe?
Matthew Shiltz
Chase Brice (was with BC)
NFL cut, neg. list, US college guy

Taylor Cornelius is who they should go after, he can run and decent passer, with better coaching he will be good

Sir Blue and Gold · September 08, 2024, 06:09:04 PM

Get Dolegala in here.

Austin85 · September 08, 2024, 06:17:56 PM

Cornelius will be less on the SMS.

There's only 5 games left. The savings will be minimal.

Austin85 · September 08, 2024, 06:45:48 PM

True good point

Quote from: DM83 on September 08, 2024, 06:31:04 PMTrade for Dakota. He knows what he is doing in the sneaks and is a decent QB.

Not sure the trade would be worth it but hard to argue with you.

Waffler · September 08, 2024, 07:35:59 PM

Prukop would be a trade to a division rival. Never happening as long as Edm has a shot at the playoffs.

Put Augustine in for short yardage plunge.
