Yes but they weren't used to talk about usage, they were used in the context of performance. In my opinion it's simply a case where there needs more discussion surrounding all those stats.

Hilarious. Perhaps the depth chart was made in such a way as "well we've seen Terry Wilson for a bunch of preseason now, we haven't seen the new guy so he needs more reps to see what he's got. " But no disrespect for not just being handed the job... which he probably would have got anyway based on experience and familiarity.

Because I don't think you can throw out things like yards per target and yac, and catch % in a vacuum without giving at least some context to a players usage. Might not change the interpretation, but it needs to be addressed IMO.

I don't think your stats all mean exactly what you say they do... think there is a lot of context missing.... Now I'm not saying Lawler is the best or any of that, just that I think your interpretation of statistics could use some refinement.

In the same way that anyone could go line up at DE... just because they put him there doesn't mean he's any good at it. As a linebacker and special teamer he's good, to very good... but he's not a DE and that's a horrible justification for keeping him around. My opinion on building a roster: start with your best Canadians in starting positions and fill in everything else around them ensuring that you have sufficient depth at all positions to account for rotations and the event of in game injuries.

Remember when a qb getting a million dollar contract was scandalous? Jeepers that's a lot of money for a receiver. Dude is good no question but.... it's not like he's a Stegall or Simon type receiver.

Seems to me this is a linebacker who is thinking about it in terms of who is going to be more elusive. Brady isn't that elusive, he'll just run you over.

Absolutely. Just now room for it and it handicaps the roster

No I don't think we can, especially when they've invested heavily into Canadians at linebacker. It's not the best use of a roster spot to have that many american linebackers. Better off beefing up the roster on the DL imo.

Zach threw the guy a touchdown pass that he wanted no part of. Then I am pretty sure he dropped elgersmas first pass attempt. Not impressed based on 1 game.

That's how I see it too. Think Perkins is the guy you go to as the #2 option now, how long depends on how quickly (assuming he does) Elgersma develops.

All I ever see from Smith is making plays. Be criminal not to give him reps. Do you not want Canadian play makers?

Let's be honest, you're so invested in the argument that Eli hasn't played before because he's not good enough you're not budging off that position any time soon. I am not sure if Perkins has a better command of the offense, but what he has is more pro experience and is more comfortable out there at game speed. Just a shame the guys arm is meh.

Speak for yourself

Amen

Stuart was picked on, but he was around the play just a few steps behind. As a rookie probably should expect that. The key will be processing faster and reacting without thinking.

Honestly the faj comparison ain't bad... just gotta hope he's not a raging douchebag like faj.

I'm not as down on the qb play as some. For elgersma he's got such limited pro experience, if he's got a decent head on his shoulders he can learn and improve. Rourke was pretty **** his first season in BC too. Perkins has some limitations but you can probably come up with a gameplan he was execute. If the Bombers can't establish a run game won't really matter who is at qb.

The law firm of Macleod, Bethel and Thompson.

Agree witg these. Smith needs ti get reps cause all he does is make plays. Singer seems like the best option at receiver. Perkins you're going to have to work around his limited arm but he's got decent awareness out there.

That's the thing, after this long Wilson has had some opportunity and he's never seized it. Got no-one to blame but himself. Bailing without even giving it a go in preseason is just 10 ply soft.

it's not exactly a high bar... I mean who else is in the conversation? The sex pest?

Just like Noeller

Gross.
