    I am beginning to have doubts about Davis. He certainly didn't look anything like a starting QB last game, and he has been in the league for SIX years. It seems to me that if a player has been in the league for six years and hasn't shown enough to challenge for a starting or look good in relief, you're probably never going to.

    Davis has been in the league since 2015. I'm not willing to declare him a dud yet after one half of football.

    I was suggesting the opposite regarding Davis. His job maybe be safe but he could end up elsewhere next season if he thinks he has a better chance to actually play.

    I think he's on the outside looking in no mater where her goes with Collaros, and Franklin soon to be on the market. I think back up QB is probably his ceiling right now but if he stinks in Winnipeg he may get a chance someday and continue to get familiar with the system and the receivers.

    Let's be honest, the team knows the hunt for 1000/1000 is on and Harris is going to be getting the ball as a pass catcher as often as he has to in situations where he may typically not. 

    They want him to get the record. Personally, I think he gets it either way.

    Meh good things happen when he gets the ball in his hands. He was always going to be a crucial part of our passing game, especially with Dressler out of the lineup.

    The greatest of all times of all time? ;) GOAT = Greatest Of All Time... if you weren't aware...

    joking aside, the real issue I have with this statement is "one of".... Milt is the greatest receiver to ever play in the CFL... end of conversation...

    Well there's the GOAT then there's the goats GOAT! Big difference :lol:

    Do we think that the tackling form has improved since Roberts played and that the defensive backs have been coached up better for committing and taking the correct angles on getting the running back? I mean from watching the replay it looked like Roberts did a good job of jumping around people and getting them to miss but I wonder if in this day and age if those moves would even work?  

    Yeah the games changed a lot. Now most teams run a zone option out of pistol or shotgun which I think when done properly usually allows a running back for a better opportunity because the QB should be making the proper read on the play compared to when you used to see the QB under center on almost every play. On a side note It's so awkward seeing older videos of QB's dropping back far enough under center so that they could throw the ball. No wonder completion percentage has gone up as a whole. Shot gun/pistol allows for a quicker release.

    Harris is doing this at the age of 30 Charles Roberts had been out of football  for 2 years by the time he was 30. 

    That's a little unfair considering Charles Roberts played 8 years in the CFL and this is Harris's 8th season... Roberts also had about 800 more carries then Harris has in his career. The wear and tear the 5'6 running back took over the years there's no wonder he was done by 30.

  7. With our offense I think Harris is just so much more valuable because of him being so good catching out of the back field, and obviously he's a good blocker, but Roberts running the football was just special. The fact that he has over 1600 yards rushing with no offensive line, and Tee Martin as his starting QB in 2005 is amazing.
