Allen had the benefit of playing for good teams, and Glenn did not, but Allen could extend plays with his legs and improvisations.

If the Bomber bird-dogs cannot find either a good QB prospect or a good MLB prospect, the lot ought to be half-hanged. drawn, quartered and replaced with nutless monkeys

Maybe, but Bridge has some battlefield experience- Adams is still unknown for the most part.

But if it comes down to either having Bond on the O-line with Hurl at MLB, or Neufeld or another NI on the O-line with a good import MLB, I would go with option "B".

With some misgivings, I would be interested in Bridge as a project QB, but only if he was willing to work on the deficits in his game. God knows, he couldn't be worse than LeFevour or Davis.

Ummm...no. Even if our backups were zeros, Nichols is ten or close, and none of the QBs under contract in Regina rate higher than a 3, we are waaay ahead.

Isn't disgruntlement what happens when a pig retires?

Since when is the salary cap a consideration in Regina?

Damn. Once again, they didn't take my advice.

Talk about damning with faint praise.

Sooo....you're saying I don't get a vote?

Straughan and Bauman looked very interesting, but we will see.

I will be disappointed but not shocked if either or both are still here at training camp. Even in his dotage, McManus would be a better option.

Then Bomber fans need to have barf bags passed out at every home game.

Re: the Bond vs Randall debate. We have one very good quarterback on hand two ..umm...questionable ones to protect and Bond has been a valuable and solidifying presence on the O-line. On the other hand, despite Randall's efforts, our backfield got lit up a lot once again. So, close as it might seem, my vote goes to keeping Bond.

Is this sort of like slowly eating a live toad first thing in the morning? 'Cause then nothing worse will happen for the rest of the day?

Only if that would get Drew Willy back.

God. Picking through Rider leftovers- are the Bombers that desperate/inept?

Sorry, all. Don't know how that happened- it wouldn't post, then posted 4x.

I wouldn't rule that possibility out.

I am also a fan of a QB who can scare the opposition as a threat to run and run well, if that is the best option. I suspect that the door is closing for Bridge to sow that he can be a legitimate starter. Its now or never for him.

That will be interesting to watch. God knows, he has the talent but horrible throwing mechanics- is he resistant to coaching?

The difference to me is that Durant, although well-paid, played for a team that was fortunate to win any games at all, what with the gong show going on in Montreal. Davis and LeFevour did not have that millstone around their necks. If the Bombers come up with a really promising quarterback prospect and he beats out Durant or anyone else in training camp, so be it. Our track record of recruiting finding quarterbacks over the past oh, 20 years, does not inspire confidence.

Good arm and size, seems to ad lib well, accurate and protects the ball- what's not to like?

If you had an employee who was in training for 3 years and still felt he/she could not step into the breech and showed he/she could not, you would fire that person and look elsewhere for someone who could. This is not rocket surgery.
