that would be a big surprise to see. Dude lets players play through their struggles and doesn't even like to take out Collaros when the Bombers are on the good side of a blowout. Not pulling struggling Zach doesn't bother me so much -- Zach's upside is far far far greater than that of a Terry Wilson or even a Streveler. Multiple times over his career he's gone from zero in one quarter to hero in another. If it was someone like Taylor Powell or MBT or Brown on the bench behind Zach, someone who's proven he belongs in the CFL, I might feel different. So unless MOS abruptly changes his ways, only a ZC8 injury will result in significant backup reps. Zach has been actually been pretty durable the past few years -- started all 18 games in 2022-2024 and started 13 last year, and one of his missed games was the BS piss test one.

I wonder how what his snap count would have been if Strevy doesn't blow out his knee? The only game Wilson saw action beyond short yardage was the last game of the regular season when ZC was sitting and then Strevy went down early. Took a worst case scenario to see what he could do (to be expected for QB3 though) and what we saw wasn't good.

And don't forget the Seahawks punter, he had a real good game. And I really dig the Puerto Rican and Caribbean culture especially after the half time show.

His highlights remind me a lot of what Streveler looked like pre injury but maybe not quite as quick. He has a great ability to escape from pressure but he doesn’t look comfortable at all in the pocket.

For sure, our #2 reps are going to have to be paramount if we go with a rookie, last year they were paramount with Strev because he was struggling and that unfortunately probably kept Wilson off the field.

Or in swapping if we are late in a blow out

Regardless of who takes our #2 spot this coming season, my hope is MOS and company have a little less anxiety in using QB2 when/if ZC consistently struggles during the game.

Thanks Wbb, so what we are seeing is that the Bombers QB 3rd string usage, except for QBs playing up the depth chart due to injury, is actually right on pace with the rest of the league. A couple of outliers in Walker and Morgan who both ended up in 2nd string and made starts prior to any drop back snaps so it really was more a case of a couple guys who either weren't really third string (Walker) and another who was on a team with a rash of QB injuries. Rest of the numbers are all within the same relative range as Wilson.

I kind of saw it as a live Music Video.

Sure. These are the drop-back snaps for QBs who were the QB3 overall or at some point. BC, Masoli had 91, Brice had 4. Cal, walker 66, vaughn 32, love 8 Edm, snider 0 Ham, Dole 0, powell 9 Mtl, Morgan 98, Evans 37, Dukes 2 Ott, Adams 69, Shiltz 57 Sask, Coan 9 To, Duggan 20, Horn 14 Again, Wilson had 26. Pretty bad for sure. Bellefeuille was a chunk better than hogan still imo. Wr core, bit of a push imo.

I forgot about that... the pain of losing him has forced me to take that memory away :) I think he was given his play time based on injuries to the other qbs.

Jason Boltus... that was the lowest that I can ever remember. Guy fumbled snaps and tossed ints in his extremely limited time.

Then please compare to every other 3rd string QB, while in 3rd QB status, across the league for context. Just drop backs not SY.

According to PFF, 68 snaps last year, 28 drop-back snaps. 24 of his snaps were designed run, keeper, kneel, etc. It also lists him as having 2 "big time" throws and 3 turnover-worthy plays. In 24, he had 6 drop-backs, 24 designed runs, on 40 total snaps with 1 turnover-worthy play. I don't put any value other than crude entertainment on their own metrics, but as a fun fact, Wilson was their worst rated qb and worst-rated passer in the whole league last year. They had Wilson as a 42.2 overall and 29.9 as a passer vs strevy at 62.2 and 57.4. They only had strev as the 9th-worst passer and 15th worst qb. Which seems wildly inaccurate, and deeply depressing at the same time. Im not sure a clear downgrade exists from Hogan, strev, those wrs/ol.

He'd be an enormous upgrade over Steveler.....thats not saying much but Id kick tires.

Ricky Martin was singing live same with Gaga, it's not all lip synched. I just thought the show was boring and cheaply made. I also LOL'd at the fools who paid big bucks for prime seats only to see this:

Half time show absolutely disgusting ,never seen such garbage in forever.

I keep thinking about a few years back when the Riders brought in guys like Patterson/Dolegala/Fine and those guys were able to hop right in and play. They weren't running a dink and dunk 5 yard check down game either, they ran the complete O with varying levels of success and failure. It feels like the Blue haven't done anything like this in years. It's always a back up QB comes in and it's just flat.

I thought it was quite the dance show, as for the elaborate sets i think that had a lot to do with it being open air. Rhianna couldnt do her act in this stadium. It's been lip synced for decades now(NFL rules) but i found this year to be off like an old Japanese movie

Where's a stat guy when you need him. How many meaningful game speed reps has Terry Wilson been given since arriving here? I'm not suggesting anything with this question, just curious.

Wilson got reps, Wilson sucked when given them. Surprised he is still here. Hard to get your 3rd string reps when for the past two seasons we have not been in very many games that is traditional put in your 3rd string guy time. Gotta remember that Streveler also need the reps. Lotsa, he should have got reps posts but very little thought expressed as to when we could have given them.

If you watch Perkins in the UFL the offense is basically zone read or a fire drill every snap (there's tons of UFL stuff on YouTube, you can basically find every snap he took). I don't think he'll be able to do much from the pocket in the CFL. The ball doesn't move quick and he never sets his feet so the ball doesn't get anywhere on time or accurate. He's a fadeaway passer, lobs the ball. He is a complete run/scramble style QB. So he's not going to be able to function in an offense anything like the base offense we will be running around a guy like Collaros. But you could build something around him as a backup that relies on Zone Read, either hand it off, run it or chuck it up hope someone runs under it. The intermediate pass game will not exist for him at this level.
