A new thread for who can best handle starting QB in game 1 when Zach serves his suspension.
Never go full Rider!

My personal thoughts:

I think if Strev is 90%+ it'll be Strev.  If not then surely Wilson.

I don't think Patterson will be anywhere near up to speed on the book by then.

Depending on how much Dolegala learned last season, it may be really sucking about now that we just released him like a few days ago.  He may have been the best bet if Strev is not good to go.

If it's Wilson, this'll be a great "second chance" for him to redeem himself from the deflation that was the GC.

Yes, clearly that is what will happen.  However, there has got to be favorites already.  MOS probably has a hunch of what 1 or 2 guys have a shot at starting week 1.

This poll is for "based on what we know now" and/or who would you personally like to see get a shot at shining.

Agree. Someone could shine in limited game reps but that does not make them #2 on an MOS team. 

I would guess Strev if able then Patterson, him being the only other that has started a game at this level.

If Strev can walk, it's him. There's not a competition.

not a bad thing, he would'nt have seen much action here, this way he gets some coaching and experience without it costing us a year on his contract. Chances are we may see him later in the year or next similar to Nathan Rourke

Please review games Strev. played in last season, past performance suggests he could never beat a decent Lions team.

Or maybe he never comes. An article I read says they hope he can be #2 in Green Bay in 2026. He will compete for #3 this year and if he doesn't get that he will get PR'ed. They consider him raw but has all the tools they want. Live arm impressed as does arm length, hand size etc., things you don't hear about in the CFL.

where have we heard that before... he gets pr'ed then sits, they then draft a qb high  and he gets waived to another pr who again would rather roster a player they used a high draft pick on etc etc

Lions gonna be decent?   ;)  ;)  :D  :D

We usually win games vs BC via superior D anyhow, so maybe it won't matter as much if we start a weaker QB.  Well, that's my dream anyhow.

The question is if Buck shows us anything we don't already know about.

Wilson for me.  He has the tools and some experience with us.  But Strev if healthy a good option or maybe a little combo platter.  Camp and preseason will be very telling.  My preference is Wilson as I like his tool kit.

Thanks for making the thread and nice work on the poll, it's horse race with a photo finish!
