No one is THAT high on brown, just that he's shown some things. Honestly I think his upside is a Kevin Glenn type if he reaches it.

Not that you ever want to see a green win but man I would laugh if the mighty argos lost to that sad sack group

But what if they aren't better off without him? Such is the state of quarterbacks in the cfl right now.

I told him to do that.

Yeah the sneak up the middle makes sense. Having your starter do it is just dumb

Joe Montford just looked like a football player.

Yeah 100% BLM isn't much right now

Well no offense but what Danny Maciocia doesn't know could fill a warehouse.

Smocking

Cause some of the most significant changes happened very late in the year? The secondary gave up gobs of yards until those late season changes. By the time post season rolled around they had the right people in the right spots.

Take that to the folks bemoaning not getting him.

You ever seen a championship team with a bad defense?

Bullshit, he put the hard miles on his busted ankle and kept going because he was that kind of warrior.

Streveler wasn't a rookie and had already won games in the cfl before... AND did more to win in calgary than collaros did anyway. The way the D was playing that post season no doubt in my mind they could have won if they had to go with just streveler. If they hadn't improved the D though no way collaros would have won. Would have been no difference than the years Nichols was good in the post season and lost anyway because the D couldn't seal the deal.

Hell let's throw in "breaking" faj too.

Streveler played and played well significant portions of the playoffs including that game in Regina. It wasn't all collaros. You said initially he was the big difference maker, I disagree, it was the changes to the D that were the big difference maker because those guys were straight up dominant in that 2019 run. They ruined Dane Evans career they were so good.

I always expected that kola would start the year, but 100% expect that by the end of the year Eli would have the job.

Except the D was so much better in 2019. Nichols was very good in a lot of playoff games for winnipeg but the D let him down. Let us not forget the team was 7-1 when he got hurt. So yes I absolutely believe that a tandem of Nichols and streveler with as good as the D was playing can win that cup.

You don't have to agree with me, but you're wrong if you think the changes on D didn't have more to do with elevating the team considering how much streveler actually played in the post season. Collaros was part of it, but his impact was more the following season. He and streveler both were big parts of the qb picture, it was solidifying the secondary that unleashed the defense to be an ungodly terror.

Lapo problems

We might not have got passed the stamps in the semi final if streveler hadn't decided to run all over the calgary defence in the 2nd half. So i reject your premise that collaros was the difference. Here are some other extremely key things that improved the 2019 team for the playoffs: Mason at SAM, Alexander at safety, Taylor at halfback. Jones at db as well. And yes collaros in for injured Nichols was part but they mare a lot of changes to the D leading into the playoffs that set the tone for what was to come, and make no mistake the 2019 playoffs the defense was lights out and a way bigger factor than the offense.

See and watching even just the highlight pack I thought Dobson had some issues. The int for example he was pushed right into collaros' lap as the throw was going out.

Oliveira is a guy built to wear down a defense. Yeah it will be less effective early on, but keep at it and will pay off late. Just need to string together a few more first downs than they have been.

They used a lot of Eli in the 4th quarter when the run game took over. I believe they had extra OL in but perhaps if the guy is good enough to make that much difference he should get more reps.
