Booch

Hence why he made it out as the West nominee for MODP and not Hughes..the one trick pony who fades out...Jefferson is the more complete player and does things that be benefits the defense in multiple ways

We are peaking at right time..and regardless of if Fartado is hurt or not. He hasnt really did squat against us this yr..or any good defence for that matter..this cgy game was gonna be our toughest portion of the playoffs I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar type large margin of victory against the riders

Probably was his swan song this yr. Cant see him back anywhere next yr

Ahh...sometimes life gets in the way..work..in Cali doin stuff fir a bit had no time to post.. back now tho

If in the West Khari would not be in playoffs at moment or hosting a play-off game...also if it was just one division, again he would be on the outside looking in..sure he did a decent job there but Montreal is steps behind where Winnipeg is at..and that team truth be told had the right pieces already there actually just a putz leading them. I personally don't even factor in the first 2 and a bit season's here for this regime, and to lump that into success/failure rate of them is pointless...They inherited a right mess, and not just with on-field product/coaching...but over the last 3 years plus this one, have won a lot of games, and have made this Organization successful on all fronts, and a place guys want to be. Play-offs 9 times out of 10 is a crap shoot and basically a situation where the hot team coming in, or the lucky/opportunistic ones win...look how many times the West dominates all year only to loose to the hot hand coming out of the East..players play, and the in game moments/conditions/situations/flow determine who wins, not who is wearing the HC Headset. That being said that coach needs to see when he needs to make changes with offensive or defensive philosophies and when to play the meanie and make the tough decisins based on staff/personel...Osh has advanced in that regard bigtime from when he started and you can see on his face and his manerisms in some games this year that he is fed up with certain aspects and if he is back regardless of how this season ends that there will be change...you have to evolve, or you die..He's not and idiot...stubborn and loyal but not an idiot..Same can be said even more strongly with Miller...if he thiks enough is enough he is the kind of guy who will clean house if he sees the need

for sure 100%....we can't sit and stand pat, have to improve whatever way we can, and even if we win the Cup with Streveler a lot of it would be to do with great defense, some luck and quite likely Strev playing over his head and doing it on the ground, moreso than finally having it all click. I want to see him back, but not as the defacto starter, but earn it with his play in camp and showing more progression...which I am certain he will. I think rolling with him as your cemented number 1 going into camp can go really well as he has realized that potential, or it will be a season of highs and lows...more highs than lows and still successful but lots of growing pains...but by years end in that scenario he may have become seasoned and a legit number 1 too...be very interesting off-season and the last 2 games this year and whatever happens in play-offs will be big factors in it

Have to disagree there..Moon was barely a 50% passer his first 3 years with 54.7% being his best year...double digit INT's 2 of 3 years as well...Clements as well his first 2 years was a under 60% as a passer...threw INT's in the teens his first 4 years..never eclipsed 2900 yards his first 5 seasoned and that was playing 16 games as well, Flutie came into league with 5 years of pro experience with USFL and NFL so can hardly even put him in that conversation...Reilly had 2 seasons in league backing up before he became a starter with middling numbers and save for a last chance pre-seaso game was almost cut..Bo levi was a 3rd stringer for his first year and a half before he got his chance to start....learning this game and the position. So looking back none of the mentioned other than Ricky Ray came in with zero experience as a pro and was thrust into a starter role and took off with their feet running...especially with only 2 years experience at the college level prior to turning pro..so his learning curve is waaayyyy bigger than the norm and his advancement is rather spectacular when you look at it all things considered, especially with pressures of a team on a 29 yr drought and in a bigtime playoff battle Reilly...Bo..all served several years as a back-up and Clements and Moon didn't light the world on fire until 3-4 years into their starting career

THE WHOLE LEAGUE WAS DOOFUS... in one particular instance...not multiple times all on their own due to apathy and no fan support...

I agree for most part, but with the bolded parts thats what gets resolved with experience...reps...time in the league and chemistry with your receivers and having that connection where you speak and do things on the filed without basically speaking...and these are the things that with reps and time...he will get...he is bascally still a baby in the grand scheme of things considering his limited QB experience coming into the league...and from what he has done and accomplished already based on that it's pretty impressive and encouraging

back in the day a lot of that though was due to propping up the weaker sisters...and save for EDM all teams were in same boat

Rider's did it soley to pay their bills, and really to when you look at it fleece their fans...as really they are not worth the paper they are printed on...so saying the Packers did the "same" as the Rider's infers that the Packers did it for the same reason...are you a highschool graduate?...or are you still some lil fella living in yer mama's basement waiting for breakfast to be brought down after you make your bed and put your clothes away??...I truly hope it's the latter

You seriously can't even think to use the Packers and Rider's in the same breath...and the Packers didn't do that to save their buts from irrelevance...several times....you get funnier as the posts go on I have seen the Rider's new facilities...very nice...same as other new ones in the CFL...whats the point?? they built it on fake share money and telethons??..haha....you are something else...

most phoney "rider shares" to save their team

You compare him to all Hall OF Famers...future Hall of Famers?...thats pretty heady comparison...save for Reilly right now nobody else in the league is at that level, or most likely will ever get to that level so thats a pretty poor comparison. All scouting reports, past coaches, draft profile...current coaching staff and people I have talked to have all stated his intelligence, and how quickly he can absorb things...picking out 1 or 2 or 3 errors he has made as reason to say he doesn't possess superior intelligence is kind of laughable...almost like cherry picking stats to prop a guy up versus someone else. What other new QB who has ever laced up in the league starting out hasn't been prone to throwing a pick, or forcing a ball...even the aforementioned guys you stated did that and also late in their careers...faulting a guy for trying is hardly an indication of "not" having it. He came into the league as a fresh rookie..with 3 weeks exposure to Canadian ball after barely 2 years experience as a College QB and should have won his season opener against EDM...and won his second start, and should have 2 more wins this year as a starter if not for the defensive collapses, so I would say as a 24 year old he is picking the game up pretty damn well and fast....tho it seems here opinions will vary amoung the masses and the less informed/experienced I will take what has been said by coaching staffs, draft analysis and scouting report people and teamates, as well as my own observation anytime over forum analysts..sure he may not be ready for primetime but saying he is average at picking up Canadian game is a real reach, and your opinion soley...based on what I am not sure...same question can be asked that you asked me...you base his trouble grasping the game based on what??..Nine starts? and cause he has thrown some forced picks?..a couple of which no real fault of his

Salsbury was brutal...I believe he was an under 50 percent or just at 50 percent passer...and no escapability whatsoever...Crandell was prone to dumb mistakes..over and over and wasn't deemed "too intelligent" from what I know and have talked to...Burgess very pedestrian and lack luster....those three don't have skillset or intelligence that Strev has, all they have on him is experience...and that's what he is learning now.

I did a post a long while ago about attendances..with figures...and overall other than recently..and the early 2000's the avg attendance was in the mid to low 20k area...a few years were under 20k for average attendance....you seem very intrigued by me and my posts...spend some time and effort and search them out and see for your self...or are you capable of doing that...it's either here or on the other Bomber site...I am too busy with important grown up things to go back and find it for you, and don't have the time to re-hash some things that are known as fact...but have at er...pretty sure when you find it though you still won't shut yer dickhole TV ratings are hardly subjective and linked to just a team...may get more eyes on a rider game outside of that cruddy province but thats mainly due to the mass exodus of "former" Sask residents...and it's not as Rod Balck likes to yammer on about that Rider Fans travel well...those ugly green uni's in the crowd are worn by defectors

only recently when they have been marginally successful...when they aren't...the support was laughable...quit cherry picking things and base things on a whole...over the course of the franchise...

good luck with that...even when cold hard facts or actual history hit them square in the face they argue or dispute it...

Crandell...Salsbury...just off top of my head without even thinking much..I'd say Burgess too as he was limited skillwise but relied on smarts..

as mentioned before...a lot of things Streveler is learning/gaining on the fly are things most back-ups/new guys have had 3 or 4 years of more than him..being a QB all through college...Streveler is learning a lot of these things, as well as a totally different game all at once...not making excuses for him, but that is a huge thing, and a lot of the instinctive reactions that a QB has and does without even thinking due to reps...game play and practice he is just getting...and he has been getting better....even an untrained eye can see it. His overall body of work for a fresh faced rookie new to Canada in his first 2 years (with only 2 years of College experience as a starter) and a lot of it in a neutered offence is pretty impressive...he has generated 40 td's basically...not sure how many were result of coming in for 1 play after Nichols got us to goaline, but even then it's probably not more than 10...and even in some of those instances he was brought in when ball was outside the 5 yeard line, and threw some TD's to end Nichols drives, as well as ran them in. Show me the TD total for any of the now "elite" QB's in the league in their first 30 games or so and I bet few if any come remotely close. He is gonna have ups and downs for sure...but there are more ups then downs, and what rookie/second year QB hasn't had them..save for Ricky Ray?

Adams I don't think is 100 percent..you can see it in his running and just the fact he still is wearing a brace. Bailey though is an excellent blocker so the drop off there prob wont be noticeable...bigger body bulkwise as well

yeah it was done more mockingly than anything...and where do you think the rider's got it from..copied it from kids basically...me first guys based on their play..selfish penalties..and the fact they are are on their 3rd and 4th teams in the league after being dumped for various reasons...not all having to do with their play...though Edam is a lot to do with his play as he is sub par You need to stop posting about things you have no clue about...especially when you are constantly belittled for it...or perhaps you are just dumb enough to actually not even realize it...the latter to which I lean toward....though reading your drivel is entertaining at the least and your fascination with what I have to say, and disputing it all is i'm not sure weird..creepy...sad...flattering,..or a combination of them all... Oh and BLM is not what I would call whiney...that's the Rider fanbase...he's outspoken and cocky and has backed it up...the Stamps culture is leaps and bounds ahead of the Rider's...on all levels..for decades now...and sad that you basically just called your DT whiney....Is that your excuse for his sub par play?...or is it sub par as he is second guessing going to the Riuder's and it shows in his play, like others before him?

Strevler can throw..not sure why people are on this cant throw train..but when u have minimal practice reps with deeper balls..and chemistry with your receivers.. u get ups and downs...as the game has slowed for him and he has been less panicky and high strong.. his passing gas improved and he has a pretty good completion percentage last several games..give it time..he is basically gaining experience and instinctive reaction tendancies now as most other guys have gathered throughout 4 years of college and first year or 2 of pro..his only being a true QB and a starter at that for basically 3 years now has him behind the curve a bit..and this is huge..all things considered he is developing pretty good in this bizzare offence..and really should have a winning record as a starter this year if we didnt give 2 of his starts away

That's the crux of that team..all me first guys..Purifoy..Edam..Gainey..Evan's.. Hughes..I bet Michah Johnson Hope's to get the heck outta there as that's not the culture he is accustomed to..prob reason why he has done Jack **** there this yr..hoping he gets released in offseason as not earning his cheque..prob go back to Cgy and be dominant again..just like Dennis who hated it in Sask I hope we actually grab second..host a playoff game for the fan base then waltz onto Sask again like last year and end their season..again..and continue to be undefeated in playoffs in their toilet bowl stadium..

Yeah that fan base loves to crap on Winnipeg.. and why I am.not sure as their 2 major cities are crap holes with nothing..and all the sask youth leave the province now as soon as they are old enough..tells u a lot..no? The funniest part is they revel in the dude crapping in the flower pot that went viral..and dont even realize..or acknowledge it was a visiting Saskatchewsn resident who did it..that's the funniest part of it and obviously a Saskatchewan thing moreso than Winnipeg. The second funniest is their #1990..maybe they should focus more on the #4cupsinover100yrs If anything that is the essence of ineptitude..or #2saveustelethons....
