Brown is also getting a fraction the support in offence Alexander is. If you swapped places I think brown would look insane and while Alexander would run for more yards he’d struggle more. But at that, it’s great to finally see the next crop of young QBs stepping up in the league. Brown and Alexander are well above rourke imo in every thing but hype. But still that’s the best 3 young starting QBs we’ve seen in the league in a long time.

With that stache and mullet he looks like every guy attending a social in Manitoba in 1987...

Fact we lost to a team QB'd by Arbuckle watching him tonight is pretty sad..

Lapo gives twice what Suitor offers.

This kid Alexander looked pretty good....laser type passing and he can run...what's not to like....On the other hand the real Arbuckle showed up ....you know the one who beat us in the Cup....Bluto is now gone into a depression of sorts, with the thought that Arbuckle might have to suit up again, if Kelly is still out....and that they may have bigger problems on the club than their missing starter

Side note. Luke Willson is already better than Madani and Brit Dort in his first few minutes.

Nice to see their entire fan base travels with the club.

Nielsen has gotten much better compared to his first year.

It’s the topic we not allowed to talk about related or something even more sinister really for them to just sweep Matty under the rug with no mention of him at all.

Carter Brooks from the Hockey News posted this…

He first broke into head coaching in 2015 as the interim hc of ssk. He’s been the rbs hc since 22. Two full seasons plus almost a half. We are way way past learning quickly on the job. I love bobby dyce. Great football mind, excellent talent evaluator, tremendous guy. He’s been coaching in the league for 22 years and he’s already 2.5 into this hc job. The leash is gonna be real short on him, and if it doesn’t work out he doesn’t likely get another hc shot short of some thing miraculous.

You may be right but I hope you’re wrong. BD is just a guy who is so easy to cheer for. I just hope he ends up where he best contributes.

NHL players must prefer guys. One of the best young qbs to come into the league. His OL almost took him out by blocking his man into his knee. Dumb OL.

Ottawa's secondary was 100% bad last year, and this year too. Might not be personnel.

hello, let me introduce you to TBurg....

100% turnover in the secondary from last season might not be the way to go.

Shitty game plan, went away from rushing, tunnel vision from O'Shea.

Havnt heard that lol...I'd rather hear that than anything outta Kate's yap

Als fans learned how to do the wave!! See there are other things to do than honking a Fkn horn!

Sanchez is horrendous, his NFL analysis as well may be the worst/bland ive ever seen.

Fletcher would be a natural for the Stamps offense.

Big time And sure nice not hearing them stupid horns!

Classic Kenny Lawler catch there... He still looks good

Source.....trust me bro

I like to think that I know a litle bit about quarterbacking as I followed my son's progress all the way from pee wee to high school in Calgary to Junior with the Rifles to JUCO in Northern California to D2 SFU. I also follow about a dozen qb coaches on Instagram, including my son & see what they're teaching youngsters today. I really, really really like the skill set & toolbox Davis Alexander has. He has everything he needs to be a breakout star in this league. (If his Left Tackle doesn't kill him first). Is Dru Brown #2 or 3 on the list of great young qbs coming up? It's between him & Rourke & time will tell. Rourke is bigger & stronger than Brown & can run if he has to. That's Brown's weakness. He can't scramble & run. Or at least he hasn't shown that he can.

I think they are both good QBs. Put a good team/system around them, and they will do well. Pass the Crown Royal - errrrrr Five Star

Yup, that was his 50th game as a CFL HC... If he hasn't figured it out yet, I don't think he's going to.

We were talking about Dru Brown's Thursday night performance yesterday before the Als game. Compared to Davis Alexander, you can see Brown's deficiencies as a qb. Even healthy, he can't run. He also has a hard time avoiding the rush from the pocket. Yeah, he's accurate for sure & made some nice throws but he just seems to be missing something. Like the Big Play when the RedBlacks need it. Brown put up huge numbers inside the 20's but when he had to score to win, he couldn't. Alexander meanwhile is athletic, something Brown doesn't seem to be. I remember that one play when Alexander was flushed out of the pocket & took off with the ball & showed great speed to pick up the first down. Just a terrific play.

I think he will have a job up here as long as he wants. Be it scouting/player development, or one of many position coaching spots. He might just not be cut out of be a hc though. Having him as a position coach like wr, and an extra scout in the off season, while being able to assist a CO, is one of the best values you could want under the coaching cap.

He'd be hired as a STC somewhere in the CFL. He'd land on his feet.

Lots of nice guy head coaches get fired. He's Canadian with experience & is a competent STC so even if he's fired he'd get on a staff somewhere.

yup and when the food came out at midnight that usually entailed crackers, meet, cheese, pickles etc that did wonders on everyone’s breath and sharing of gas.

Actually not just Canada..that was also something a lot of players would say as well about wpg

your pop's is a good man! 🤘 its 25 isnt it?

QBs have had 5000 yard seasons but their team missed the playoffs. Playing on a team that's missing other pieces, does not make Dru Brown a bad QB.

Yeah it's weird now.

Not a word. He was fired.

You could’ve saved a bit of typing and just said “I don’t wanna learn”

Mcmanis with a huge play there.

Arbuckle is still the same guy he always was. An underachieving Matt nichols.

Interception and a fumble leading to a TD. In the first half. Think we have our answer

Lapo and Nielsen are so refreshing. Nielsen could tone his high school girl shriek down a bit but other than that they make a good duo.

In another thread somebody has said the first 2 games may as well be preseason games and that's not wrong from what we've seen so far.

just let me know who u are ....lo....u will be safe

I'm more curious in MTL effed up handing the reigns over to a largely unproven guy at QB

Not agreeing necessarily with PD’s approach in calling out JO but lets hope it wasn’t just because a players fees fees were hurt. Im sure there’s multiple reasons to why a coach with his record gets released?

Yeah if SSK was smart, they'd immediately sign fletcher and let AJ go when he's healthy.

If you want to sip on the resin from a 2x4, go to Home Depot.....

I like Luke Wilson. He’s funny and knows the game. I’d rather see him on the panel than the sideline, but this still gets a thumbs up from me.
