So what steps can the club take towards fixing this mess/rebuilding? One that comes to mind to me is giving Shay and Smith reps on D to allow them to develop.

OH Mitchell wasn't lights out by any means but he was more productive than Case. I'll concede I am making a petty point.

So Mitchell 3 catches for 22 yards, caught all his targets. Case 2 catches, 10 yards, 1TD, caught 2 of 5 targets. I'd say Mitchell is at least an upgrade.

Carol in the Bomber office is a gem

Hogan should be fired but won't be

If we had a viable option sure but we don't.

So Wheatfall are teams taking him away because he runs a limited route tree or is there another reason for his lack of production?

Playcalling, lack of WR talent, Bad C, so many offensive issues.

So Cam Allen next week?

I had that memory erased, eternal sunshine style

A 10th string linebacker you say?

Anybody else hope Mitchell has a big day in part so MOS and Hogan have to answer repeated questions about why he was benched?

What Rory Kolhert doing?

NFL cutdown and guys coming in doesn't really exist anymore

Seriously somebody actually tweeted that Calgary having VA+Philpott+Barnes is a huge boost? What's his next scoop, water is wet?

We keep Ayers to play teams instead of putting on Woods and we have Fatboi and Schmek manning at DT spot? That is shitty roster management.

Zach makes 600k, the only two other QBs who make that are Kelly (hurt but he's been on the six so they get some savings) and Rourke, who has played well. Adams is at 465k and Harris at 453k, both have played better and elevated their teams. BLM has been excellent and he's at 375k. Zach has not played well and his salary being 150k more than most starting QBs has hurt us.

I am in the ride it out this year with Zach and hope he retires in the off season and sign Taylor Powell camp.

That's interesting just because it rarely happens with the team. Last time I can think of it happening was 2022 with Tyquan Glass.

2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, parts of 2024 and 2025, I think its fair to say he is a starter.

Rather than magically assume that Streveler is suddenly going to develop at the age of 31 next year, why not sign Taylor Powell who is scheduled to be a free agent and who looked good when he had the chance to start?

3D had an article about how the Riders have sold out Labour Day and that its their first sell out of the year. Meanwhile we are at all 4 sold out this year with 9 in a row. I'm just saying us fans have brought it this year. Flowers to all of us.

Oh I'm not advocating that Collaros is a great option, I just don't see it with Streveler. Its the same issues we've discussed since 2018. Can he pass well enough consistently? Is he progressing through his reads? Etc. This is now the same thing and people here have blamed Lapo, Buck and now Hogan and cite the well he lasted in the NFL, where the same questions were raised. Perhaps a guy who is 30 and in his eighth pro season is who he is going to be.

Nichols also had a 3-1 TD/INT ratio in 2019, Streveler has thrown more Interceptions than TDs in his two starts. Not the same. We had the same discussion in 2019 about Streveler and whether he could be a starting QB, nothing has changed. BTW in 2019, 8 games started, 1482 passing yards, 7 TD passes, 11 Interceptions, 3-5 record as a starting. Not that much different is it?

In the last three games, 28 out of Streveler's 44 completions were for 9 yards or less. Another 5 were for 10-12 yards. I'm not sure that you can be a successful starting QB when almost two thirds of your completions are short passes and 75% are for 12 yards or less.
