I watched practice with Drew on the Thursday before the Banjo Bowl from the press box and he told me at that time that he was about 3 weeks away from returning. Told me his knee is healing well. I asked him what the chances were that he returns this season...he said 100% and it'll be sooner rather than later.

It's poorly thought out because there would be no GM in the free world faced with this dilemma. There are your QBs, your NIs, that must be protected then every other 30 or so imports would be targets for release before this would ever happen. It's not a plausible situation.
The Bombers have at least a dozen people they would release or trade that would provide the SMS savings needed before this situation would ever occur.
In what world would a football team have to sacrifice it's backup QB to sign a star NI. NO WORLD, thus it's poorly thought out because although hypothetical it is not a question any GM would ever have to answer.
It's like asking, " If you could only have one, would you choose a GM or a HC?"
The answer that everyone not willing to partake in farfetched hypotheticals is trying to tell you is that they would sign both and make cuts to the SMS elsewhere.

I agree with 17to85, this is not an either or question. Not in any way shape or form. It makes no sense. If you want to ask an either or question about Muamba then it should be Henoc or Hurl? In that scenario one could make the argument the Bombers could only realistically keep one. Muamba or backup QB makes no sense.

I agree that incompetence can do all the things you have stated. However, in my 20+ years as a business owner, I can count exactly zero times where a customer with no experience in my line of business correctly identified incompetence by a member of my staff.

The availability to run straight ahead is indeed a scheme problem. On Demski's run, there was a gap vacated. It was a brain fart on the part of the player, and these brain farts have been happening far too often.
If a returner gets the edge that's more of a personnel problem. A PR should never go straight up the middle.

What people aren't understanding is that a QB must have the fundamentals to play the game at the pro level. Just because some QBs took years to develop, it wasn't because of their fundamentals. They were working on their understanding of the game and ability to manage it. Durant, Reilly, Burris, Glenn, Calvillo all have one thing in common. A good accurate arm with a quick release. This is why they rose to the top. In pro sports you can't teach a player how to throw. He either knows that by now, or he's gone. Marve struggles with his accuracy, and he is a fundamentally poor thrower of the ball.

Here we go with the "Anthony Calvillo" nugget about how he took years to develop. For every AC there are a hundred QBs that legitimately wash out of this league. Not all can be coddled and brought along for years waiting for them to emerge. The reason AC, and I watched his early career, lasted as long as he did was because his fundamentals were off the charts. He just struggled making his reads early in his career. Completely different story, from Marve, who has many fundamental problems with his game.

A lot. Just the terminology alone would make it impossible for him to start this week. Even starting the LDC on anything more than a skeleton playbook will be highly optimistic. He needs reps with the first team offence, and some deep immersion in the playbook. He will not have anywhere close to the full offence at his command within the next 3 weeks.
It is laughable to think he could play this weekend unless we go sandlot and reduce our passing playbook to a few plays. There is zero chance he would have half the playbook at his command by this weekend.

I think this is the 2nd time in the last couple weeks that Kpt Krunch has made this assertion. So I will confirm your post above. CFL TEAMS HOLD THE RIGHTS OF ALL DRAFT PICKS INDEFINITELY THAT DON'T SIGN WITH THEM.

Please release Brohm immediately and this will be the best QBing news in a while.

Sounds about right to me. 150k would put him on par with what Hall is making with the Riders and would still be 50k a year cheaper than John Chick.

I think that Simmons is being over rated by many on this forum. Last year in Orrawa he was the best of a very bad lot, but it's pretty obvious that on a team with talent he is depth. Hopefully, he can play himself onto the 44 man and help us down the stretch, but people shouldn't be crying foul because he hasn't done so in his first week.

Found this video on Youtube. It is our former scout Ken Moll giving a lecture to sports agents about what scouts look for in players, and how they do recruitment in the CFL/NFL.
Some pretty interesting stuff in this video. I recommend anyone interested in what scouts do and what they look for to give it a listen. Takes a couple pretty good jabs at his former CFL employer, and talks a bit about some of the players he recruited for us.

Unlike the Riders in their close losses, we actually looked like the better team in both these games on offence and defence. Both games, STs let us down big time.

No kidding. SMH. The logic shown by some in this thread is disturbing. The fact that the Riders lost some close games makes them better than us, but they fail to recollect that we have 3 games this year that we lost in the final minute of the game. How you can give an 0-8 team more credit for close losses than a 3-5 team is beyond me.

We haven't had a great running back since early in Fred Reid's time here. In a way I don't mind the RB carousel going around until we find one.
