Does anyone think we should go with Arbuckle (starter salary) and McGuire as our tandem?
Cut ties with the rest?
I'd take Masoli as option 1 then Arbuckle.
Assuming ZC is gone to TO.

While reading some of these posts in a year end type of review, it’s a bloody wonder we made the playoffs with such bad QB performances..
We can still do better. I don't think we were great, this group has the leadership and potential to be great. With the current situation at QB I don't think we had the potential to win multiple Grey Cups.

I didn't start this fire internet tuff guy. If you know more about football than I do you sure don't demonstrate it with your content very well because not much of what you state is anything more than misinformation. Whether that is intentional or not, I won't speculate but dude I can honestly tell you that you have everyone's bullshit meter redlining right now. Now go run along and hide behind your keyboard.
Don't try to condescend to people who know more than you, it makes you look stupid not us.
I've supplied my opinion with facts as to why Collaros is a better QB than Nichols and you just keep talking about Collaroses concussions while disregarding Nichols history with season ending injuries and surgically repaired body.

Lamar Jackson is a very good pocket passer he is just not a runner.
Look at guys like Rodgers, not a scrambling qb but has good enough mobility to get out of the pocket and make some extra time for his receivers.
Collaros is a similar style player where Nichols is not as mobile.

Coming from someone who thinks you're full of crap, I can confirm that it is you who does not know what the hell you're yapping about. There are many different types of should injury and you have zero clue as to what MN's injury was. Not sure how you could equate the recovery of an elite athlete with what they have at their disposal, to that of a keyboard warrior who strained his shoulder reaching for a donut.
If this isn't a direct personal attack I don't know what is.
Coming from someone who thinks you know nothing about football, I don't think you could possibly name one reason Nichols is better than Collaros. Should change your name to internet MD.

Agreed, here are the Bomber play-offs of days past... before we were ******* GREY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!! 😂
2016 CFL West 3rd 11 7 0 Lost West Semi-Final (Lions) 32-31 2017 CFL West 2nd 12 6 0 Lost West Semi-Final (Eskimos) 39-32 Those are two very winnable games if the defense didn't play like a sieve...
I will however acknowledge that 2019 Nichols... is not the same player as end of 2016 and all of 2017 Nichols... Back then, I would have faith that he could put the team on his back and win... that last minute TD drive needed to win... I fully had faith.
Not so much now. I don't have nearly the same level of confidence as I did back then.
I feel we need to go in a different direction, we need a better QB.
I still feel like he was never a mobile enough QB even in those years. I like Matt Nichols, just don't think he can make plays when the pocket is less than perfect.

I honestly cant believe someone would argue this point. Collaros can get a season ending concussion from falling at this point. I mean so could anyone really, but the chances on Collaros are much higher. And it's going to be that way for the rest of his life. Nichols has at the very least an opportunity to completely heal.
On top of that, the way you're responding to posters makes you seem like a giant ****** bag. Maybe take some time to review what you're saying/trying to say before you post.
I'll take a QB with a few concussions over one who just came off season ending shoulder surgery on his throwing shoulder, the season before he also had a non-contact knee injury as well. The guy can't stay healthy either so it's a moot point.
Won't comment on how you view my posts as it's irrelevant.

When I hear guys dismiss Collaros's concussion history and then suggest that MN's injury is just as problematic only one word comes to mind.
Clueless.
I loved what Collaros did for us, I really do, and if he ends ups back here next year I wouldn't shed a tear. However, one has to acknowledge that it would be a massive gamble on our season.
Coming from someone with a shoulder injury I can confirm you don't know what you're talking about.

Collaros threw for 193 yards in the WSF.
And what "massively depleted" defense...? Take a look at the depth charts. Same secondary, mostly the same front 7. The one major difference is Law played in week 9 but not in the playoffs.

Buddy it was like -15, nobody could throw the ball.
Clueless.

One aspect is a comparison of concussion histories. I would take ZC over Nichols any day of the week based on play but you have to factor in ZC's concussion history. You seem to be ignoring that and that is extremely short sighted.
The problem is that at this stage of his concussions he is extremely prone to getting another one and missing significant time and unlike other injuries that heal over time this never will
Grasping for straws when you know you've lost the argument lol. Shoulder injuries don't just "go away". You do realize Nichols is coming off a season ending shoulder injury right? 😂

I still think with a different OC, Streveler could be a top tier QB in this league.
The book definitely isn't closed on his career. I don't think he's a great passer right now but I'm pretty sure we said the same about Masoli and Adams. This would be the optimal result in my books.

Uses ad hominem attack to attack ad hominem attack...
Awesome- we are only a week from winning the championship and now we're entering the long cold off-season.
Ah you see, I have supplied reasoning to my disposition, whereas I have yet to hear one reason as to why Nichols is better than Collaros except he throws less picks which is a complete lie.
Context doesn't seem to matter around here.

Hes better at not turning the ball over.
Collaros threw 1 INT for us and none in the playoffs. Also every team has dropped interceptions. That's not bad, I guess for you it was cause you had to cheer against the bombers.

Man, the richness of this reply.
You and a few others here have done basically nothing but **** on a QB who hasn't played since the summer, insinuating he's a bad teammate and that the Bombers will be better off without him.
Sorry, but passing off one's opinion as fact does not make it so. I also don't understand what's accomplished by kicking someone when he's down, especially after his contributions to the success of this team - all from behind the anonymity of a keyboard, no less. That's about as childish as it gets, so I'd refrain from calling others immature if I were you. I also wouldn't lecture anyone here about "fandom" or objective discussion, BTW.
I've put it out there, name to me one tangible facet of the game of football he's better than Zach Collaros.
I'll wait.
Also I don't care about anything other than football I don't have favourite players unless they're from Winnipeg. Everyone else is replaceable.
-
Just now, Goalie said:
So much for that grown up discussion then.
Don't recall 3 dropped interceptions, you should send me come clips of those.
Never called Collaros perfect but his intangibles are much better. In every category.

Just now, Goalie said:
I wonder what your opinion of Collaros would be if Calgary didnt drop like 3 interceptions.
Nice cherry pick, didn' 'appen.
Next.

If u think a pro athlete is gonna not give it his all... Then you are kidding yourself. This is their job not some game with friends at the park.
I was more talking about their confused react on my post comparing the skills of Nichols and Collaros, where they seem unable to have a grown up conversation.
I think the team plays hard for all 3 QBs but there may be intangibles that change the "buy in".
Didn't realize we changed subjects but still disagree to some extent.

Strev definitely brings energy and excitement to the huddle but.. These guys are Pros not dudes playing around at the beach. If any player put more effort cuz Strev played.. They should be let go. Cuz thats not being a pro, that's being a pro blem.
MOS Wade Kyle.. They wouldn't put up with that ****. Those players would be as Mike Commodore says.. "Packing their ****"
Nichols is fine when he has tons of time and a clean pocket, however as soon as something breaks down he's throwing the ball away or is sacked, Strev and Collaros can both make plays with their feet. Collaros is the happy medium.

No, no. It isn't. You and others passing off your bullshit opinions as facts doesn't make anything true.
I take it you weren't at last Tuesday's parade - which explains a lot as far as your lame comments go.
You seem really confused these days
Unfortunately you may be a little too immature to look objectively at a quarterback because your own bias gets in the way. Really unfortunate you have nothing of substance to offer besides personal attacks.

I don't expect him to get either of those jobs. I'm expecting that he'll be the WBB OC next year.
Little concerned he may go to Edmonton, could do some nice things with Trevor Harris.

The O with Nichols put up similar numbers against the crappiest teams.
The O with Collaros put up similar numbers against the best teams.
And how many times was Collaros sacked by some of the best D-Lines in the CFL? Almost none. You'd think that the QB might have something to do with helping protection.
People saying Nichols is the same as Collaros don't know what they're talking about.
-
Just now, trueBlue83 said:
Oh, the difference is huge. And that makes all the difference. When Nichols feels the pressure, he can't escape and chucks it away or goes to his bread and butter, the check down. Zach showed a capability to escape pressure, and maneuver around buying time for receivers to get open. You never saw that with Nichols.
completely agree.

My basic question about Streveler is
...has he been found yet?
He said he will be at the Grey Cup social at the convention centre apparently.

4 minutes ago, Bigblue204 said:
Add me to the list of people who think ZC and MN are basically interchangeable. Outside of his ability to scramble a bit better then Nichols they're basically the same. I don't by the Collaros has a stronger arm, Nichols was 2nd in the league for deep passes when he was playing. Our game plans and half time adjustments were more to blame with the lack of O then the person behind centre for the most part.
Saying that, I wouldn't mind if they signed ZC and Streveler. I also wouldn't mind if they went with Matt and Streveler. I would be very disappointed if they weren't able to re-sign Streveler though.It's not even scrambling ability, it's pocket awareness, mobility, ability to know what's happening down field when things break down.
Those things you can't teach and are essential. ZC checks all the boxes whereas MN does not.

Wow who would have thought football players want to win football games. Good job with all your projections.
Speaking of bullshit meter 😂
