Ray can't run, Willy can't run, Harris can't run, Mitchell can't run, Collaros used to be able to run but he's damaged now and turtles when he feels pressure... Jennings can run but seems more interested in just trying to throw it as far downfield as possible, Reilly could and does run, but again, he mostly just runs to get himself time to find one of his play makers on a pass. It's that whole mentality in the CFL that has changed. Guys are discouraged from running rather than being unable to.

Lots of guys were dual threats back in the day, problem is that the NFL realized these guys are good qbs too and started bring them in leaving the CFL to adapt. CFL has become way way more of a pocket passing league as a result but go back to the 90s and earlier and it was rare to not see the qbs that can run as well as pass. Even the guys that could be running more recently have been turned into pocket passers, the only thing unique about Streveler is that Lapo seems to be willing to let him be that dual threat guy where more coordinators these days just want them to pass first and only run to escape pressure and still wind up passing.

Collaros and Willy, a sad tale of two promising qbs taking too many shots and being broken husks of what they were a few years ago.

I think it's pretty universally accepted that Saskatchewan has the most expensive staff, if only cause there's more coaches than players there.

Oh the league has seen it, just been a while and perhaps people have forgotten just what it looks like.

Alternate theory: this is the cfl keeping costs down for the poor teams, like with the cap on coaches coming in. Can't have Toronto or Montreal having to pay money they don't have. ******* eastern Canada, get your **** together.

Plus, at half time Matt Dunigan said the exact same things about what a smart play it was by the qb to put it behind the receiver, so regardless of whether or not Suitor is an idiot, I'll take Matt Dunigans word on a qbs choice of throw any day.

To me the best part is that if Nichols gets dinged up later in the season we don't need to put him out there to have a chance. Can let the guy be healthy for the late season/playoffs. Bottom line there is nothing wrong with having 2 qbs on the roster that you can win with.

Who are we kidding, the Bombers will never get respect.

I think the real comparable situation is Edmonton when they had Jason Maas and a hot shot rookie Ricky Ray.

I don't think it was a dirty play, Ray got caught in a bad situation of a guy chasing him down from behind and a guy coming in to get him from the front. Unlucky and unfortunate but not dirty.

If he throws that deep it's out the chopped off corner of the endzone, he put the ball where the receiver had a chance to make a play on it and Demski did. It's what good quarterbacks do, they give their receivers a chance to make good plays.

I think with the Argos it's a matter of the rest of the league believing they were better than they actually were. I was out on Saturday and didn't see their game against Calgary, but they were god awful against the Riders in week one and based on the results were as bad against the Stamps. That team is not looking like a danger to repeat as champs.

I bet Jones has a deal in his drawer for him.

There are marker stones all along the border in that part of BC. Yes it is easy to miss but there are markers. But let's be real. The reason this incident escalated the way it did is because it was an undocumented French citizen crossing from Canada into the United states.

As a result goosen and chung were in the ear of everyone after every play. I love our oline

The turn around in Canadian receivers this year to last is just insane. Walter's nailed this years draft.

This is why you don't fire coaches and gms every 2 years. Give a group a chance to actually build something. Where are all the people who wanted to fire everyone a couple years aho5now? Would love to hear from them.

I for one love the fact that every receiver on the field needs to be accounted for by the defence.

Streveler and wolitarsky keep scoring touchdowns like this I may have to change my name to 17to82.

Willy got no help from his team, but the guy is still shell shocked. Too easy to defend a guy that incapable of mentally handling pressure

Knew the Al's were done when westerman was trying to roll on someone's ankle on the first drive. Go ahead, piss off the offensive line, see what happens. Als acted like clowns all night and got their asses handed to em.

Streveler and Nichols have one shared trait and it's the most important one... they are leaders on the field and everything flows from there. They have that confidence and the team plays with the same confidence.

I mean they keep bringing up dunigan as a comparison and yeah.... which is great for us. Those true dual threat qbs are so hard to defend.

What else can you say? Everyone played well and it was a total thrashing from start to finish.
