  1. It's been said here before by other posters but sometimes OC's outsmart themselves. We see that with LaPo & with Chapdelaine. Plus in meetings, Jacques can be condescending & intimidating which makes learning even more difficult. Expecting qbs to be PHD level smart to master a playbook isn't the best idea, I believe. An OC will neuter any talent his qbs have by having them think too much out on the field. Or suffer from a lack of confidence which leads to sacks & turnovers. It takes longer for them to completely understand the playbook & have their natural abilities start to take over. Posters here can say what they want about Dave Dickenson as a HC but he does foster a much more positive atmosphere for his qbs to learn & grow. Being a former qb he knows what it takes to play well in the CFL & he has a lot of success grooming young qbs.
  2. Maybe. I've seen great passers play on bad teams. So, not necessarily true. Jacques offense is not a qb friendly offense. He was never a qb. He was a receiver so he built his offense from a receiver perspective & not a qb. He tries to create matchup problems for the defense. It's a complex offense to learn & terminology is different from other offenses. My son played in it for a year at SFU. Jacques rejigged it for American football. All the qbs had a hard time learning it but they did. He would have liked to have played in it the following season as he felt he was beginning to master it by the end of that season. He uses the same offense in the CFL, rejigged back to 3 down football though. No surprise that MBT is playing better now than he did at the beginning of the year as he's feeling more comfortable with Jacques offense. Not surprised Franklin hasn't played well. Some qbs really struggle trying to understand it. Saw the same thing at SFU.
  3. He just killed it. Not with his wrestling ability but his career in WWE. Maybe I'm clueless but I really had to look at that & say the shirt promotes blackface. I mean, after I was told why Myles hated the tee, I went... okay.... I think?? Really?? Certainly wasn't obvious to me.
  4. I had a classmate who did **** like that... in grade NINE!!! LOL.
  5. As a HC he's been living off that one GC year in 2013. He may be a very good DC (debateable) but terrible as a HC.
  6. Just like Nichols & Streveler, put MBT in another offense with a different OC, better qb coaching & he will do a lot better.
  7. Hopefully a starting Canadian safety is available in free agency.
  8. That seems to be the problem.
  9. Hey, we now got home & away uniforms for next season out of the deal. Make it happen, Mark Chipman!
  10. I envy you. Having a knee replacement this summer really screwed up going to a Bomber game this season.
  11. Maas will be done after this season. How does a coach take 2 seasons to get his team disciplined?
  12. Why would a team trade for Evans? How many first rounders & starters you willing to give up? Masoli will cost money but not starters or draft picks.
  13. Free agent. He won't re-sign in Calgary where all he'll do behind Mitchell is short yardage.
  14. That RedBlack team is disgustingly bad.
  15. Sigh. For about the hundredth time Evans is going nowhere. He is under contract to the Ti Cats. It's Masoli who will sign elsewhere.
  16. More like 3.
  17. Khari & all coaches on every team are very busy. They don't have the time to be teachers & can only do so much. These qbs attend film sessions & are at practice everyday. They are expected to know the playbook cold. But the coaches priorities are to win games. They can't spoon feed young players & they need to put in the time to get better. Which means hours of work off & on the practice field. Yeah, they can develop qbs to a point but it's also up to a player to pick things up on his own. Just like a teacher in school can only bring their students along so much. Work ethic, intelligence, studying & talent also come into play as well. In the end, they have to make it on their own.
  18. I know it was like 1948 & 49 but how could they not keep stats?
  19. Rod Black doing figure skating this weekend. There is a God, after all.
  20. Second game of the TSN triple header @ BMO. Played in front of the players families & closest friends.
  21. Okay, you got me. You win the Prize.
  22. Name me one game where Pipkin has played well or actually went in & won a game on his own? Remember his fumble on the goal line in BC where he cost the Als the game? I get he was nervous but he had to make that play. Other qbs thrive under pressure. Forget Streveler, I won't get into it with you.
  23. Schilz sliding gets a hit to the head by Rico Murray who plays up the crowd. This shouldn't have to be challenged. This should be an automatic review by The Eye In The Sky. Not a challenge.
