    blue_or_die got a reaction from Jesse in Bombers acquire Zach Collaros   
    Couple thoughts, and I'm sure I will be posting this opinion (although likely evolving) through out the off-season as we sort this out.
    I think that after this year we are going to need to start thinking about the future.
    Collaros, even if he wins a championship for us, will not be here next year IMO. There are a few factors: health, desire to be in GTA, TO's desire to have him there (I believe Pinball said as much), first round pick, and Bombers' vision for the QB position both short- and long-term.
    I think we win a championship and everyone is happy, and ZC and th WFC shake hands and part ways early and in the most amicably way possible. So what do we do for QB. Personally, I think we re-sign Streveler who has proven both his worth and, at the same time, his lack of readiness to be a starter in this league. I think that's ok and he would happily accept a backup role at a higher salary than he ELC. He will spend next year getting lots of time on the field, no doubt pounding the ball with his legs but also learning more about the pass-heavy CFL game. Not at all sure he will ever be a starter but there is no doubt he is a huge weapon for us, especially in the absence of a premier "well-rounded" CFL QB.
    As our starter, I think it's Nichols again. I admit I think he is the devil we know, which is one capable of doing enough to win games. He will not be elite but he will get the job done, and when you throw that in with his age (not old but not getting any younger) and his growing history of injury, he can only be good when complemented by Strev to complete our QB attack. I think it will be largely similar to this year in the way we deploy our QBs, albeit likely with Strev having a more prominent role given his gained experience.
    All that said, that's just my prediction and not necessarily my desire. I'm 100% ok exploring available QBs if brass thinks there's something better. Could be a proven retread, could be a young gun looking to be a franchise guy (Arbuckle). We will need to believe they are better than Nichols in order for that to happen, though.
    Aside from getting a young QB, if we are stuck with an older guy as our QB then I think we start to take the development spot (McGuire) more seriously. Too bad about the 2 QB rule beginning next year, given our possible situation.

    helmet to helmet, I don't care what team this happens to, I am sick of it, and want it gone.
    I want the league to make a warning statement about helmet to helmet.
    Helmet to helmet, should be ejection from the Grey cup game.
    Randy needs to tell the refs to do this, or they won't do it.
    He Needs to tell both teams, that this is what's going to happen.
    Maybe Collaros should have his lawyer send a letter to the ticats saying that if he's injured by helmet to helmet, he will sue whoever did it, and the team too.
    seriously. If the league won't protect him, the player needs to protect himself.
    Player association what are you going to do?
    NFL started ejecting players for this this season, and guess what? It stopped.

    I was ignoring this thread because I thought it was unnecessarily crude and childish. I thought we could take the high road.
    Just lurked for 3 mins on riderfans and saw what they were talking about.
    Carry on, my friends. The Rider fans proving time and time again that they are complete classless trash.
    EDIT: They post a ton of memes making fun of Winnipeg for being cold? lol wtf, it's the same climate you idiots.

    It's now "BEL13VER".
    It's spelled with a 13 now. You know, to commemorate that time when they had 13 players on the field at an inopportune time.
    Just FYI to Rider fans who are too too busy browning up their noses to take note of the basic nuances of football, in the CFL you are supposed to have 12 players on the field.
    Just FYI.

    Hamilton beat us in our two regular season meetings, including the game where Masoli got injured for the year and the Great Dane took over. That game also ended our undefeated title.
    It's tough to sweep a team in 3 of 3 meetings.
    Just sayin'.

    Well it's a huge #storyline, obviously. Like can you imagine? A father...being proud of his son? Or his hot wife...attending a game in which he is playing.
    Just crazy stuff right there. Who needs a game when you have those #storylines? Nowhere else does this sort of thing happen in the CFL. Truly heartwarming and inspirational.
