Jake Dolegala

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

I always forget he was on the PR back in 2016. Thanks for the helpful reminder.

MBT spent precisely one month on the PR in Oct. 2016, I believe he would have been backing up Drew Willy at that time before Nichols was acquired. Again, failure to recognize potential in a QB as he'd already been through 10 NFL camps, many with the same teams, so he obviously had the physical and mental skills to eventually succeed. 

I hate to point fingers but Danny McManus has not helped identify or develop QB's in his tenure with the Bombers.

Nichols was acquired in 2015. He was already QB1 by the time Bethel-Thompson was put on the PR in late September 2016.

Willy had already been traded, too.

Kyle Walters just stated that Jake is under contract for 2025.

I'll send the link asap.

All 3 Grey Cup QB's back next year....what happens with Strev?

Can he coach? Sounds like Buck might be gone.

Strev. won't be fully recovered until mid-season, by then I suspect they'll no longer require his services.

Strev shouldn't even be on the Qb radar. Nice guy, just not a great Qb, can get you the short yardage runs but nothing more. I think we go fishing for someone else as our #2 next season, with Dolegala challenging for the position, but not a shoe in

If Walters wants to attract a half decent vet. QB like MBT, Mazoli or Maier he needs to find a way to pay them at least $200k.  Shiltz could be a reasonablaly cheap alternative if Calgary doesn't want him.

Please no.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Dolegala is both a developing QB and about as good Maier, Shiltz or Masoli probably. Masoli might be slightly better but he might also crumble into dust on any play.

Are we sure about that? He injured three (!) knee ligaments. One is bad enough to recover from, but three?

I'd put Dolegala near the bottom of the list of available QB's, he's not mobile and he's too tall to handle the short yardage role. I don't expect him to survive 2025 TC.

I'm surprised he got a 2 year deal when he joined the team in 2024. That said, I don't see him as either the future # 2 or the short yardage specialist.

Also not expecting Streveler back either for the same reasons.

We've got Dolegala, I wouldn't be bringing in any re-tread Qb like Davis, Evans, Schiltz, Maier, etc, as we know their upside, there isn't any, they are what they are. I'd be bringing in new blood like Wilson, and seeing what he's got and look to uncover the next Dru Brown.

Dru Brown was not uncovered, he was allowed to develop.  Maybe they can do the same with Wilson, but if they do not have an adequate backup solution in place next season, there's no reason to believe the bad results witnessed a few weeks ago could not be repeated. I trust this regime learns from their mistakes.

Were we ever told why Dolegala was not dressed for the GC and why we chose to go with Wilson as our #2 when he had no meaningful reps ??
