Jake Dolegala

[Austin85]

Why wouldn't they use Dolegala instead of Wilson as Jake has thrown many passes and been starting some games. He has more experience than Wilson , this is a head scratcher....

[ModAdmin]

I'm sure they would say Wilson was more experienced with the offence but in hindsight.....

Well, who knows hey? Dolegala didn't throw a pass all year so could have gone either way.

Dolegala was brought in 2024-09-16, so Buck had 60 days to get him up to speed on the offence.  No excuse not to use him over Wilson.

My question would be why wasn't our MOP,MOC not given the ball on that drive!

[Blueforlife]

He was #3 on the depth chart.  Wilson has best arm.  Just needs time.

You're 100% right. Another strike against our OC!! Brutal game planning isn't his strong suit either

I don't think Dolegala would've made a difference. The Argonauts' defense was dialed in.

[Austin85]

Doesn't matter what you  think or I think or anyone thinks but our coaches. He threw for 2600 yards in Saskatchewan. That isn't even close to Wilson who based on pre season was lucky to be on the team IMO.

Lots of QB's with strong arms have failed. It's too early to know if he will succeed. Maybe posters that have been to some practices might have some insight.

The problem with developing the next QB is that they seldom get to play unless the starter is injured. Few will come off the bench and immediately show signs of developing. His football IQ and command of the offence can be assess to some degree in practice. Ability to make progress as well. In effect having shown progress and how will be his test in TC.  I like that he's athletic but we see lots of QB's like that don't survive.

I don't know if he signed a 2 year deal or 3 year deal. He should be at TC 2025 but even that is not guaranteed. There are going to be some QB movement during free agency. That might include the Bombers upgrading at the position.

Wilson might just need time but time is a luxury. He has a marginal advantage of a year under his belt. Surviving his 2nd season is a TBD.

Yup too early to tell but has the tools

Dolegala did play this year, just not for us. In BC, 15 for 26, 158 yds.

I wanted to see him too in that situation. I wonder what he was here for? Wilson has no experience, the coach said go in and win the game kid? Dolegala at least knows what it feels like to play in and win a CFL game. The 2 times I saw him in practice he looked like he should be the #2 if we are going by readiness instead of loyalty.

Not sure if you remember a guy named Dru Brown, who was subbed in for Collaros even though we had a much more experienced and veteran QB in Prukop, and Dru did great.  Kinda the way you run things... looking for that spark and ignition in the new guy rather than the safer play with the vet. At least that's the way the WFC seems to play it.

Wouldn't likely go 4 and 0, to his credit Dolegala beat a strong Bomber team in the '23 LDC.

In overtime. Dolegala's stat line of 22 passes for 326 yards was not exactly a performance for the ages; he stunk a week later in the Banjo Bowl.

I still maintain putting him in instead of Wilson wouldn't have made a difference, and certainly not enough to change the result of GC111.
