Romby just isn't making it happen. Zero chemistry with Drew Willy.
 
If Aaron Kelly could learn how to be a better route runner, he'd be an amazing receiver. He just can't get open to save his life.
 
I actually happen to think our arsenal on offense is pretty damn good. We just need those final one or two pieces to replace the weak links.

The biggest thing with Romby is that he and Willy just don't have any chemistry at all. Seems when they try and stretch the field deep with him the ball is never close because they just don't know how to play with each other. I think this team needs more weapons on offense bottom line. We have a lot of guys who can make a catch at receiver but we don't have a lot of guys who can put the fear of god into a defense and I think we need a game breaker like that. Especially when we go in without Moore our receivers are not a scary group. 

Let's be honest with ourselves here, we needed Moore on this team. If we went into the year with just Denmark as a top option we'd be in trouble. I like Denmark, but he's not a #1 guy, Moore adds balance to that. Just a shame he has missed some games here.

I like them.

The chat room does't do it for me ... I miss the 15 page game day threads from yesteryear

I really wonder why Goltz' contract was that big. (whatever that means really) 
He's a terrible QB that should have been cut earlier than this.  Not even a one trick pony... Division 3 or 4 or 5 or wherever he came from is just too much of a jump to make it to the pros as a QB

I'm a Drew Willy fan. The guy has it. He will be a great QB in this league.

the key to our success this year will be making sure that our Willy is adequately protected. Ironically he was getting good protection from Labatte in Saskatchewan, who didn't seem to use protection.

Willy is the quiet choice hidden behind the hoopla of the Collaros sweepstakes, but really, if you looked at it, he would be the smarter choice for us.
To me, his QB mechanics are much better than Collaros and he carries himself rather well. 
I'm not disappointed that we missed out on Collaros, but I would be if we lose out on a chance for Willy.

Willy would be the better choice IMO.

Don't sign a QB that might be better behind a weak line because he can escape, but sign the right QB and improve the Oline.

Collaros is the guy WPG will be gunning for - if they get him, I'll be excited. He will win a lot of games in Blue & Gold - I just think Willy will win that many more.

Maybe we sign both.

 

Drew Willy would be a very, very good free agent signing for the Bombers.

It's funny how so often you see a team struggling because the talent surrounding their QB is adequate.
If this team had a QB that was even slightly above average, it could be special. Buck gifts the Als a 7 point lead, finishes the game by handing them the ball again. No drives, just a quick score generated by a huge Demond play and then one big play to Etienne to set up another score. Not going to cut it. What was our longest offensive possession tonight? 4 minutes?
If we're going to rely on playing aggressive with a long field, this offense is going to be atrocious. It literally seems as if Buck has lost almost all the ability to make an intermediate read. His passes were either short, deep or on a bailout. If this is the guy that is supposed to have an offense based on middle of the field quick hitters designed specifically for him then I hope he's just a slow learner.
