Bombers agree to terms with Chris Streveler

[Waffler]

Jeff Hamilton in Free Press:

"Streveler said his rehab is way ahead of schedule; when he first got
injured, doctors were projecting almost a year to reach full health,
but Streveler said he is well on track to be ready for training camp
in May. He's already able to run and jump and has been throwing the
ball three or four days per week, all while showcasing a positive
attitude."

Smart of the Bombers to have extra arms here. You don't know if he tests the knee and it really isn't game ready. At least we will have guys in our system from day one.

Sure if he is working out with 500 pounds on his back when he runs and cuts, ok.  If not the physical forces in his knee and surrounding ligaments,tendons and whatever else is working to get the range of motion, and stability needs testing under that kind of pressure. Actually it's probably more, for a pro athlete.

Use the time rehabbing, and learn the game so you can share your enthusiasm coaching.

Streveler should be converted to a FB. He is not QB material.

What a bad take.

What a bad take.

The wrong move was bringing him back and using a QB roster spot for someone who can throw.  Strev is a good guy but not a good QB.

He can throw. He just struggles to go through his reads and remain in the pocket, IMO. His default setting seems to be run first.

If used in a tandem, he's proven his effectiveness. For whatever reason, Pierce chose not to explore that option last season. Hopefully, Hogan (and Jackson) don't make the same mistake.

Not sure what was going on last year, no indication Strev had a package designed for him and zero use beyond SY smash and bash.  Not sad Buck move on.

Guy could play for me anytime. He's part Viking Berserker and part Roman Gladiator, throws a decent ball, is a load to bring down, and has an indefatigable positive attitude that exudes winner! He's a leader and the locker room loves him. We're lucky to have him and his bond with the city of Winnipeg is very strong.

The single time he was given a real chance to play, he played well, had a good arm, completed passes, did not appear to have a problem reading the D, did not look out of place running the offence, and won games.

I think Since then he has been been treated pretty badly, here, and the NFL. Outstanding performance for the N.Y. jets in preseason, praised by head coach....cut.
Bombers is not a great team for developing a quarterback. Outside of the limited playing time Brown got, who has gotten some experience here, since the arrival of Collaros. Even in blowouts.

Then we get what we got last grey cup.

Yeah, I kind of see it that way too yet you never, ever heard a peep of complaint out of Streveler. The guy fits my mold of a Bomber perfectly.

Terrible idea imo

If ever there was a guy who you wanted to see succeed, who's paid the price, its Strevy. Beauty of a teammate, got busted up last year, hope he's recovered for this year. It makes total sense to have him as a SY Qb, and once we get the first down, go into a tempo/no huddle offense where you can take advantage of the heavy D brought on for SY, to run plays that attack the D, run play action/RPO, boot Strevy outside and let him kill some DB's. I don't recall seeing that last year, just get the 1st down, and get off.

You didn't see it, cause in 87 carries last season he didn't get outside and never broke a long one running over a DB in the process. He broke a rib in his first game against the RB's, he might be a hard luck story but maybe smashing into people with the intent to punish them isn't the best way to run the ball or a good way to sustain a football career.  Have we ever witnessed a player accumulate more serious injuries in a shorter period of time?  Everything about Strev is legendary.

People forget Strev was winning .500 for us as a rookie and sophomore in '18 and '19.  And that's against an extremely good West division back then.

I think he's easily still a .500 QB in-season.  If Zach goes down for a few weeks, you could do worse than .500.  And certainly you can't beat .500 for the price of Strev!

'19 Strev was also pivotal in winning the '19 WSF and GC.

I agree Strev really isn't the best choice as heir to Zach for '26 and beyond.  We need to find other solutions.  I suppose if we really had to we could roll in '26 with Strev, but we'd then be loooong shots for the GC.
