Strev is done, time to move on after this season.

The prairies all lost this week

Judging by his actions previously I think he truly believes what he says.

Reading that Elks HC Mark Killam Elks Asst Demetrius Maxie nearly got into fisticuffs af the end of the game with Dinwiddie. Maxie was beaking off all game, apparently at Dinwiddie who took ofefnse. Reports say that Killam charged Dinwiddie but stopped when he got close. These guys were all besties in Calgary with the Stamps. Maybe no more. Having both teams on the same sideline in the East is stupid. Any day is a good day when the Riders & their fanbase lose.

He knows better. So, he thinks.

I do have an education. A knee replacement in 2023 from the same injury Schoen has suffered. All you do is talk ****.

We give up on our guys too soon. Walters doesn't want to pay so they leave after their rookie deals are over. . We only pay & play them on cheap rookie deals. Yet, we pay to keep a useless Center around Like Kolankwski.

I'll be shocked if there's a change at qb if Zach can't play. C'mon, this is Osh we're talking about. Just like Winnipeg was in 2001. Same outcome, too.

I don't know what people are hoping for with Streveler. He's been here pretty much 4 complete seasons, he's had 8 career games with more TDs than interceptions, 1 career game over 300 (304!) yards passing, 7-9 as a starter. The only QBS this year with a worse efficiency than him that have taken any significant snaps are Morgan, Masoli, Walker and Shiltz. If you want him here as that QB Sneak guy... sure I guess but that seems expensive and tbh Wilson seemed stronger in that role last year... but he absolutely should not be the guy you have out there throwing passes. I can't think of any one who has had the start he has had to his career and then put it together, past 31, post ACL Surgery.

He also has a one tracked mind; run the ball is all he thinks

Riders really laid an egg at home. Yeah the Riders were on back up corners but the Als were starting 2025 MBT... coming into the game 1/20 on passes deeper than 20 yards. I just breezed through the highlights and he must have hit on a half dozen of those tonight

I'm really hoping we go full spend mode this offseason... Buy as much as you can on th OL/DL...

If Winnipeg went against Exume & Sapp they probably would’ve faired better like Montreal did. Tevaughn Campbell would’ve been on Philpot duty today and likely held him down significantly better.

Why not? Look at what we are paying for Mitchell or Jones.

Better question: how are they in first place? Both games games against a Winnipeg could have easily been Bomber wins...the Als took note

Cause our offense is LOL bad.

That’s a great point. That’s one area MOS could show a bit more willingness to flex a bit.

Mace doing another thing MOS never does… Give his back up a chance to play

Ugh how did we lose to those plugs from the West…. Twice.

Yeah...imagine...signed Dobson...dumped Kolo and his salary...figured out the best 3 to start out of neuf..Dobson.. Eli.. Wallace...all 4 really could essentially be your center...we'd be worlds better

Educated Riders fans should know that Horse Collar Tackles go both ways

Wanna give a HH shout-out to Brady for soloing our O. Vintage performance, no quit. He was the only thing we had and they still couldn't stop him for the most part.

Yeah, broxton was here for a bit. Plus dobson who is killing it this year. Yeah, I dont see a lot of teams pursuing our FAs this year though. hope fully we go back into buy/build mode.

Fajardos base deal this year was 180k, mbt 185k. Patterson in the off season was 88k. Iirc strev was in the 100-150k range with incentives that could’ve brought him up to 300k range. Given all that, I think you will usually spend about 900k on your 3 qbs in the cfl right now. With starters in the 400-600 range including starting incentives. I think established vets, high value qb2s market is in the 175k-250k range. with fringe starters in the 200-350 range. Obviously how much you budget for qbs 3 will trickle down. for us, i could see elgersma getting 150-200 with incentives and opt out. While what will happen depends a lot on zachs health, I think we will likely be in a position where we want to pay for a vet qb3. So for streveler, i could see 150k, if he’s bringing enough value. which would be fairly easy if you can take the kids gloves off and use him as a full on battering ram. That said, I think one of he and zach needs to go. so if zach doesnt retire due to injury, id rather go in another direction.

Oh I know. It's not like some magical coaching is gonna give him the gift or reading defences or improve the amount of time it takes him to process that info and turn him into a franchise #1. But...with the right coach I could see him improving his mechanics, even at his age. He's the kinda guy that would/could commit to putting in the work to make the change...and wind up as a serviceable backup somewhere. If I'm not mistaken it's been mentioned here more than once that The Blue aren't really known for finding and developing QBs
