Quote from: kkc60 on May 31, 2025, 04:53:24 AMIt's just so bad that a second year QB is essentially only being trusted to do jet sweeps and handoffs against third and fourth stringers. Absolutely no promise at all

Well, we are in run-mostly mode now, as booth guys have said 20X.  But you are correct in general because every time we dial up a mid/long pass for Wilson he takes a sack.  Same as PS1.  He needs to adjust the plan to an outlet route if he feels the collapse.  But he doesn't feel it and he doesn't adjust.  Maybe just take a page out of the Nichols throw-it-away playbook?
Never go full Rider!

I'm disappointed SSK didn't try harder to win this.  Throw Trevor in there a bit and get some scores like we did with Zach.  Mace trying something new?  Ridernation ain't gonna be happy, even though it's a PS.
Not worth risk of injury

Qbs take 2-3 years

He's going to be on the roster so no worries.

Watch Coan vs Wilson. Sure, QBs take time but the fact Hogan isn't even giving Wilson the chance to push the ball downfield is telling

Ya but now WPG has all the momo and morale going into game 1, and SSK has a deflated balloon.  A win is a win in terms of warm fuzzies.  Doesn't have to make sense!

Doesn't make sense to hurt your best player for little gain
1-0 each week

Ya, I'm not one to pile on, but Wilson really needed to shine in the GC... didn't.  Really needed to shine in these PS's... didn't.

With Strev fully healthy (apparently), might we take a huge gamble and take a flier on Chase instead of Wilson?  Man, that would be a huge gamble as we saw so little of Chase.  Too bad we don't have any other options.

Quote from: barbk on May 31, 2025, 03:35:43 AMSure appreciate Doug Brown and Derrick Taylor for blue bombers broadcasters, at least they know the names of our players.  I switched to CJOB couldn't listen to these goofs any longer.  Brutal.

That was terrible.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.
