It doesn't have to raise his profile, it has to maintain it. The premise is that he would come here if he can't catch on anywhere. Being rostered in the CFL and getting some live action is far better than sitting on his thumbs. Not sure why this concept is hard to understand? A ton of guys come back to the CFL with exactly this in mind. A lot end up staying, but rarely do you see guys coming back from the NFL and signing multi-year deals when they come back.
cause some people like to arue for the sake of arguing...and some people don't know how things work, or how teams/agents/players work and feel....and some people are both....

I expect Streveler to stay in the NFL this year, but if he comes to the CFL, he'd be best to sign with BC. He'd make them instantly competitive again.
I agree...I dont expect him here this yr...and if so prob not till late sept/early Oct....that being said...It's here or nowhere

I heard all about loyalty and the FIFO/team guy stuff with Kenny Lawler and Andrew Harris as well, how’d that turn out? Players go where the best money and opportunity to play lies, not where the fan base will jerk them off the most. Streveler’s best opportunity for cash and playing time is pretty much anywhere but here. We have more “legit starter money” tied up in our QB than any other CFL team, if that is your reasoning for why he wouldn’t sign elsewhere.
You are exactly describing the way he was used before, and want a return to it now as “change of pace”. How loving his skill set and how he was used and saying his game was ruined in the same breath makes zero logical sense (although I know that where LaPo criticism is concerned, a lot of it is overblown emotion and over exaggerating certain flaws and ignoring positive factors). I have a hunch Streveler doesn’t feel he was “ruined”, showcasing the skills he had in LaPo’s “change of pace” playbook landed him an NFL gig, after all.
As for better than we have, what has Dru Brown done to be cast aside this year? His one appearance under duress in the last minute led to a well-executed, game winning drive, and he knows the playbook here. When Streveler got his shot as a starter in 2019 with all the pressure on him, he failed, especially when forced to rely on him arm alone. That’s why LaPo tailored a game plan to his bull running skill set (to much more success) and why Walters went and got Collaros instead of staying with Streveler. Both those decisions won us a Grey Cup.
Streveler has shown great strides in his passing oven his 3 years of maturing and practice at the NFL level. Would love to see him back, but it’s a pipe dream at this moment while he still has any NFL options open to him. Had he crapped out in New York instead of performing as he did, I could see him giving up the dream, but the exposure he got has extended his NFL window for at least another year. Returning to the CFL would probably be a signal to NFL teams that he is no longer interested in staying down there. But if he comes back now, Winnipeg will not be where he lands. It would make no sense compared to his other options in terms of maximizing his opportunity to ply and get paid well.
He aint replacing ZC....So yes he would be used as short yardage and 2QB sets...call it a gimmick if u want, but he would be the back-up QB used in plays while ZC is upright...If he was hurt...He would become the frigin QB...Not a gimmick....but continue spinning stuff to suit yer fancy....good god...He wouldnt be signed to park ZC on bench.
And apparently there was a rift with team and Harris about the FIFO culture.....so spin that how u wish too....Lawler went for $$....so guess he didnt fit in eh?...same with Harris....and to be honest we havn't really missed either as our record show...and their respective ones do....go for money..sacrifice wins...culture and stability....to each their own...others stayed for less...and will again next yr....as with Strev I have it on pretty good sources that if he were to come back to Canada for a pro-rated season (as thats all he is signing for this yr) that it will be in Winnipeg...or nowhere...take it for what its worth and spin it how you wish....But I will ride and die with what I know and have heard...and not on fan forum boards

Hilarious that certain posters here continually rip LaPo for making Streveler a “gimmick QB” and ruining his pass game (a dumb take, BTW), and now people are clamouring to get him back up here to join the Bombers - to be a gimmick QB in the 2QB or tight end formation and play special teams.
not a gimmick...he is not supplanting ZC unless he is hurt....but if he was to sign...you use him where and how you can....I stand firm in Lapo basically neutering and basically almost ruining him here....So use him as short yardage/change of pace...2 QB sets and whatever else the team see's him doing well....and god forbid if ZC goes down for the Yr...I'd feel much better rolling into playoffs with Strev than anything we have on roster right now

Would’ve also said no way the jets cut him lol. He sure should get another shot. Idk how much eligibility he has for the nfl pr left either.
Idk he’d roster and he’d get some action. For sure a game or two at the end of the season. But he wouldn’t start.
It’s a tough position for him. And not fair given what he’s done and his skills. I don’t envy the decision he has to make. He is young enough though to come back here and go back down south with more leverage. I hope what ever he chooses works out well for him.yup...thats the NFL for ya...I'm sure he will gets some calls...some looks/workouts and likely a PR spot....but if thats as far as he gets....he may tire of it...and he only has so much PR eligibility left...he uses that up...along with his actual roster time in ARZ...he severely reduces his window of opp too..

Aside from fulfilling the wishes of the Streveler worshippers, why in the world would his best CFL option be Winnipeg? So he could sit on the bench doing nothing while Collaros gets every game rep? BC needs a QB right now, Edmonton would easily upgrade with him there, as would Ottawa, and Hamilton and even Saskatchewan might take a look. About the only teams not looking for a QB upgrade are Winnipeg and Calgary. Toronto and Montreal likely to run with what they have now but he would be competitive there. Streveler will do what’s best for him, not what Bomber fans want him to do for them. Don’t see him coming here at all if he is looking to play. And If he just wants to sit and wait for the next NFL gig, he would be better served sniffing around there rather than tying himself to a CFL contract until November.
dont fool yourself...every team would take an upgrade regardless of their situation....and loyalty is a real thing....and so is familiarity....friends...and team....and Strev is total team/FIFO...If he comes back...it would be here...chance to win....not a shitshow tire fire...the list goes on....All the teams u mentioned save for B.C has legit starter money tied up in their QB's...well Mtl is on the cheap now as well...but with issues there...why bother?...and you can tie yourself to a contract, with agreement to be released if you get an opp....players can get let go at any point in season

Zero chance he ends up back here this season IMO. No way he doesnt get another look from a different NFL team after his pre-season performance. Or at the very least lands on a practice roster.
Maybe he just wants to play tho?....and coming up here and lighting it up, then getting released at end of season allows him to land somewhere again this yr, as well as stay sharp actually playing..and getting paid...Won't blame him for trying to land on a PR, and he will prob take a good month to do so..but unless it's the perfect landing with actual chance to play...or get on the roster....why....
-
he would for sure bump off Prukop....who could be dealt for a pick...Strev could run the short yardage....I would like to see him come in for the tight end set instead of Miller....2 QB at same time set....he said he would play teams...so why wouldn't he here...lots of options, and lots of actual play time as well....he won't be on the bench thats for sure.
He's plug and play...as would be Kongbo if cut free...any one else new to the team...or CFL for that matter likely wont be immediately....I don't see us picking up an import RB...No real need as we have Mcrae, and BO/JA are the starter anyway...Don't think BO will miss anytime...maybe one game, but lets deal with that if it happens

Strev may have extended his NFL hopes with his pre-season play. Might be a team that will PR him, and almost definitely one will pick him up in the offseason for TC if he doesn't land now. Therefore, I would say that because of his TC performance our chances of getting Strev back for a stretch run have increased exponentially. If he doesn't land somewhere in the next 10 days, his very best option would likely be to come back to the Bombers for a stretch run on a prorated one year deal and then set his sights on the NFL in the offseason again.
I would say the chances of him coming back to the CFL on a multiyear deal are between slim and none this season. If he is coming back just to stay sharp until the end of the season it would almost certainly be with us.
agreed....he should leave his TC play as a statement for now....sign up to close season here for a playoff run...and have major eyes on him and then see who wants him when CFL season is done for a look see, or come next NFL TC season...that would be the best scenario for him...bouncing around for some workouts...trying to get a PR spot...doesn't get you paid, and really....you don't get live reps in a game....Is that the likely scenario....prob not...but one can hope....The reality is right now teams are kinda gonna go with what they have for first month or so...barring some catastrophic injury somewhere...so to get playtime....get film....get paid an equivalent amount right now the CFL has to look appealing...Plus he has had a lot of PR time already, and roster time...so his window is shrinking and why waste it right now when likely he wont see the field immediately

It's not that he forgot how to pee, he was dehydrated and couldn't regain hydration in the 11 hours they waited for him to do so. Poor guy would have crumbled to dust if someone had touched him at that time.
Only on Riderfans would "I couldn't pee" be a legit excuse for REFUSING a drug test, but Andrew suggesting he got a tainted supplement was clearly a lie by a chronic drug abuser.
and Harris was one of the most tested guy on the Bombers for 2 yrs leading up to that...was almost a running joke how much he was tested....and based on my experience, what I know of that culture (as was involved back in the day) and my experience training athletes...in and during off-seasons I stand by and believe it was some tainted something or other....but lets not get back into this
Riderfans like to ignore their warts all the time....Thigpen...and another guy in last few yrs which escapes me...not even a murmor from them that it was AndroidHarrissesque....and thats typical narrative from that pathetic fan base

9500 per week. So 171k ish per season us. So 222k a year up here with exchange. In reality probably more buying power here. Living expense in New England probably higher. Idk the nuance of the taxes but I’m sure Uncle Sam and uncle Trudeau would take more than just taxes up here.
With our question id offer him 250k range per year for 1 year or up to 6+. He’s worth more than Kenny lawler.yeah...being Canadian...Living here...he's make out better...and 171k...give or take is being on a PR for 16 games...hoping to land on one...or going from team to team for workouts, and waiting for an offer....doesn't get you paid....Desjarlais comes up here...he is easily the highest paid...or one of the highest paid O-Lineman..and will be for a good 8 to 10 years sve for some serious career ending injury, or he loses it fast....the latter I dont see happening

How much of this soap opera does the management allow? It's one thing to be an ass clown on the field, but when you are being an ass clown to the club's own employees wouldn't/shouldn't that be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I can tell you with 100% certainty that a player would not disrespect the Bomber staffers without getting his walking papers minutes after.
yup....guy would be gone in minutes.....Sask has serious issues all around.....calling them a trash organization is being kind....tho I sure the denizens of RF are backing it...Cause Marino is NFL talent....and being hard done by....

MAN....what a complete joke....Guy is a total moron and clown....and if thats how the culture is there I dont even know what to say...I would hope a leader...if they even have any worth a can of piss would step in, and sit that clown down...And really...does Dicklesson...or is it Gutlesson have any control there...is he scared to sit him?...All I know is if a player cause a issue with staff like that here...he would be gone.....What a shitshow organization....nothiung there to make it even seem remotely legit or professional....wonder how many guys want out when their contracts expire in feb

as it sounds he is not able to run it as per his and Speigals vision now that his estate is being figured out....so would assume who ever is in charge just is paying the bare minimum required....so really he has no real purpose and pull....so was kind of hand-cuffed.....he still is leaving his 25% ownership in place, but is stepping back as a active role....I kinda don't blame him. Too bad cause I thought he was good for league and Montreal, and am very confident that a new ownership group will fill the void....it's not like there were no bidders before...and if they can keep some wins going, and butts in seats...they will be fine

Osh in cjob interview said they been calling that all yr..so didnt wanna challenge...that being said I dont think they saw a clear replay as to where willie hit him...or they did and had no faith in the CC doing the right thing...but as per rules..it was not an infraction.
Also...Osh isnt like one of the Dicklesson bros and wont say anything negative or challenging to a ref..player..team..etc in the media...or use anything as an excuse...

Likely Kongbo makes it back with us......
Desjarlis at 200K plus a year would do the trick AND man the years service we could get for that, would be well worth the coin...guy is a
And it's about earning money when u can...desjarlais could make more as a starter here than PR money there...especially if he is bouncing from and on and off a PR ...U only get paid if you on one.
Like to see all our guys make a roster but right from get go figured Kongbo would be most likely to be back this yr...for him I hope not..and he still may stick..but he would be a welcome addition and I sure this is where he would want to be

I see the CGY defense over all as better....Sask has a top notch LB group...if nobody goes down, but their secondary is bad....Dline is okay but I also think overated...they on filed lots...so get sexy stats, but also feasted on the slum dwellers early in the yr, and since then havnt been so stellar...and the biggest thing is discipline, and the selfishness..Sask has too many issues in both those areas
Maier is 10x QB that the Vajardo is...CGY recieveing corp beats the Sask one hands down....and the return of Shaq..Moore and that Canadian kid still doesnt make them elite...Sask Oline is worst in league by far....if we lose it will be cause we make 4..5..6 turnovers and play totally undisciplined....and that prob wont be enough as we made 6 turnovers in west final...when SASK was as healthy and good as they have ever been, and still they didnt get it done...my opinion is it will take a colossal and epic screw up by us in all facets of the game...And I just cant see that happening

we may have clinched to...3..4..5 weeks from end of year..so would be tons of opportunity....plus....even before with Collaros....he ran short yardage, as well as stayed in for extending the drive....as well as within the 10 yard line a lot of times he ran the offence....and I know u keep going back to the gimmick thing....but he would be on field a lot
also....he would take 2..3 weeks to be a viable starter elsewhere as would be a whole new playbook...all new teammates here he has familiarity, a similar play book and would be so easy to integrate some of what we ran before he left...also...the Dude I'm sure just wants to be part of something, and do whatever is asked....he has stated that....so why not do it from where u know and love?...theres no team right now that can throw buckets of cash at him moreso than us...and u know Walters has $$ kicking around...been running things for 9 yrs...always has...so this yr is no diff
