JJ looks fantastic in Blue and Gold. Welcome. ps its a Grey Cup win or bust this year so time to get to work.

also, I think Streveler gets a lot of shine from the fanbase because he's got a backup QB halo on him, and we will definitely see how that halo fits on Thursday. Back in 2018-2019 he was making plays from the pocket just like a "real qb" .... but that was a long time ago. me personally I'm rooting for Ford to take that next step because the CFL always needs more young QBs. We got a few real promising ones right now with Rourke, Alexander, and Brown ... would be happy to see Ford on that list too.

Ford was drafted in 2022, 4 games into his rookie season Chris Jones moved him ahead of Nik Arbuckle as the Elks starting QB, he's been up and down ever since, but 3 years later he still plays like a rookie.

Chris Jones and his madness is significantly less then almost anything else in the league

With VA in Calgary, it just makes the West more competitive overall.

If a QB is a threat to run for good yardage 2-4 times per game, it causes so many problems for the defence, but it has to be done effectively and intelligently with the receivers blocking aggressively. If a defensive back has to worry about a Clercius coming downhill to lay him out, suddenly tackling a running back or quarterback becomes a lower priority.

I mean...just watch the games? I don't know. Strevs game against OTT last year....there is generally this thing called "game plans". Against ott it was pretty clearly...run and run and run and pass no further than 20yards. Then run some more. If that doesn't work...we're gonna run. Ford has never been given that game plan in any game. His coaches have never put him in a position where he was EXPECTED to run over a LB. I'm not even debating this...it's clear as day (not this year though cause of all the smoke...like a clear day in 2003). Saying that...this is very much a make it or break it season for Strev. He needs to prove people wrong, starting Thursday. And Ford if given the opportunity will develop into a solid CFL qb imo.

I think the MBB answer to this question is that Strevy didn't have significantly better coaching -- particularly last year when Buck mistook him for a snowplow and got him hurt early in the season. We'll see if that take is for real on Thursday night.

The Tre Ford bandwagon of saying he's not CFL QB material needs to stop right now. People are way over reacting on how good/bad he is. If he's not a CFL QB and garbage then what does that make Strevy? Why are people on here not equally outraged that we kept Strev despite him having crappier stats while playing on a significantly better team with way better coaching? Tre is still a work in progress and has had rough moments, but to suggest that he will never be anything all while being confident that Strev is the man is hypocritical. Money/contracts being ignored the Blue Bombers would be in a way better position if they had a much more athletic and younger QB then what they currently have as a back up.

Streveler

Million dollar talent with 2 cent attitude. Too bad, he has a ton of talent.

Yep

Betts vs. Ford was kind of the perfect storm of Suitor hype. Two massively talented Canadians who get by on their athleticism chasing each other around the field...

He’s just straight up not a starting QB in this league. Par that with an average st best receiving core, I think offensively the Elks are going to be in tough again this season.

Caleb Evans

Bottom line Ford was serving up suicide passes to his receivers... he better figure his **** out before he gets someone killed.
