B-F-F-C

I think Collaros goes to Ottawa now and Arbuckle ends up in Toronto for $600k

Spending that much on a QB, then not providing him with competent pass pro, was total incompetence......

we dont win those play off games with streveler starting though. 

Because his reading of a defense even just in terms of reading the end to hand off or keep is not near ready.  His arm talent is there, his heart is more then you can expect from any player, Its his ability to manage the clock, read the defense and make decisions that is the issue.  Wagering a season on him taking a step he hasnt shown yet, in a new system / under a new oc and qb coach is a big risk. 
To be fair, a washed up qb just won us the grey cup. 

As of today, my choices would be
1. Collaros/Streveler
2. Nichols/Streveler
3. Streveler/McGuire

You seriously recommending they go with streveler and McGuire as our QB combo next season?  
 
That’s a bold move that could cost someone their job. 

The longer we go without signing either Nichols or ZC it will be pretty clear we will go after one of the other FA qb's
Im cool with either JM or MBT

I wonder if we’ll hear the new OC announcement next week? I would think if it’s Buck there’s no reason to wait any longer.   

This Is why Huff is thinking seriously about moving on from BLM.  They like Arbuckle and see him as the future QB and don’t want to lose him.  Don’t be surprised if BLM is traded to a team in the east. 

I wonder if BLM is still the better QB?  It may be the injury but BLM just didn’t look right this year.  

Cause Lapo likes his slot backs to be guys like Demski or Dressler who can do more rushing/misdirection type plays. He wants a speed guy in the slot. 

This thread needs to be cleaned up - it’s garbage
start a word defnintion and smurfs thread on the general discussion forum

Hot damn! Yesss! I was worried about his lack of production recently (and limited  throws) would mean that he would look elsewhere. 

Drew is Blue for another two!

Bluto, MOS can stay for another 6 years and after helping us win a few more cups can go to the Argos and  hand the reigns to future superstar OC Buck Pierce.

Huge gamble by the Argos.  I like Dinwiddie but this is a huge jump up the coaching ladder.   Osh was a similar type of hire I know but the Argos are in a different situation where they need to get better fast.  I'm not a big fan of recycling the same old coaches so I hope it works out for the Argos.  Because lets face it the CFL is stronger when the Argos are stable and a winning franchise.  

If we announce Oshea Extended, Buck promoted and extended, Hall back along with all the other Assistants then it will be a very good off-season, Lapo loss won't be hard to over come, same with Rigmaden...that one hurts but not end of world, and a lot of his work the last 2 years will come to fruition this and next year anyway..so we good

just like the RBs did this past year......IT CAN'T FAIL!    (......you need a proven vet......)

Mechanics are not terrible..he is an arm thrower, or what is refereed to in Draft profiles/classifications as unorthodox..but isn't viewed as a flaw or negative mark. Watch Phillip Rivers as an example..same mechanics and an 18 year vet with no arm issues over career and very successful.
Strevelers report was a strong arm with a quick trigger and ball is gone with a flick of the wrist with steam/heat. He needed work on his platform..which has gotten way better, because his un-even footwork caused uncoordinated throwing at times, but still he was able to get ball away in a hurry and with power.
Was also viewed as a QB who hits a receiver's catch radius accurately and timely and gives his receivers a chance to win the ball and has plenty of distance on deep throws but is hit and miss...but that (hit and miss)  can be said about any QB. But with work on his set-up and footwork it can/will improve...we have seen that already.
Also from my work at camps, we have improved QB's deep ball accuracy and downfield power with correcting footwork and improving their platform...so if we can do it with guys preparing for combines and drafts, it can be done with a Pro..he hasn't had the 10 years of QB training like most college graduates...so he is progressing on the fly as a pro
Was viewed as a terrific pro RPO prospect just needed quality coaching and a program to show patience for a couple of seasons, (something being done here right now) as his athleticism and lightening release will create a winner, and a team should fit his style into there system...interestingly enough a lot of his pre-draft analysis seems to be coming to fruition and I bet next year, he makes a huge step forward. 
At minnesotta he played some qb..total attempts in 2 years was 11 as well as RB, TE and WR...but when he switche to South Dakota, in his final season was 316 for 481 for 4134 yards (a 8.6 td per attempt avg) for 32 TD's and 8 INT's...surely a passing QB considering he also had 720 yards on the ground for 11 more scores..a run first/only QB with an inferior arm doesn't put up those kind of numbers...And as his scouting report says..team that puts in the patience and coaching...will be rewarded...no point in giving up on that now

Whatever way you slice it, you need a vet and a Strev, or a vet and and Arbuckle...an Arbuckle and Strev is too risky, and they don't have vet leadership to watch/learn from or ask questions...and thats huge. Arbuckle has shown well...but so did Evans and when it got time to play in the nitty gritty...he wilted...and Evans is a better QB than Arbuckle at moment.
So a smart man will say it will be Strev and.....Nichols or Collaros with whomever we don't sign in Ottawa..and If Collaros does end up in T.O then one of MBT or Franklin is in Ottawa with Lapo
This notion in people minds that Streveler can't pass is ludicrous, and of Nichols..Collaros and Arbuckle has the stronger arm...and put back in a conventional QB scheme where he uses his legs to buy time..escape pocket or take off if need be...and not as his main use...he will surprise many,
 

Dickenson and Hufnagel both touched him - thus he was golden immediately. 

I also remember when people were super excited about Dom Davis when he came out of Calgary......  
 

Does anyone think we should go with  Arbuckle (starter salary) and McGuire as our tandem? 
Cut ties with the rest?

ZC will have to think hard.   Here he has stable organization, good team, a players HC, in MOS and I think he also enjoyed his time behind the Bomber OL.
