Yourface reacted to trueBlue83 in Matt Nichols Discredited Too Much? Passing Yards Are Meaningless
I'm sorry, but the guy is in his 7th (1 full season lost to injury in 2013) season as a pro. At what point do you say "maybe this is as good as it gets?".
His play has largely regressed since halfway through the 2017 season, and I know the wins are there... but why do we as a fan base continue to celebrate mediocrity!? This team has so much potential this season, and if they are going to stand by mediocre QB play like they did last season, unfortunately I think we're all in for a disappointing end to the season.
That said, it's still very early, and maybe Matt does turn it on. I'd love to see it. However, I just don't believe it's going to happen, because his play has been mediocre at best for the last season and a half! I predicted pre-season that Streveler would be our starter by mid August, and after last night, I stand by that prediction! And if I'm wrong, and the Blue keep winning, well then even better! I don't mind being wrong if I'm watching our team win with good QB play!

WTF?
have you checked the bomber history of QBs that have won greycups? a few of them were "game managers" and some of them pretty ****, but the defence carried the day.
Is Nichols better then Bo? No. Better then Colaros, Davis, Adams, Pipkin, Masoli and HArris.. yes.
Sorry,. I wouldn't replace Nichols withone other then Bo, and i'm not sure i would take the Cap Hit of 700k for him either.

Are you saying MATT NICHOLS is a championship calibre quarterback?? Sorry to break it to you but a Grey Cup will never be within reach with Mr. Game Manager at the helm.

Nichols is BAD -- definitely not a championship calibre QB. One of the most immobile QBs to have ever walked the face of the Earth.
Some of the throws he makes, I wonder how he ever made it pro.

Agreed. How many times do you win when the other team doubles you in first downs and over 10+ minutes in TOP. Moving forward, Nichols needs to hit open guys, Harris needs to stop fumbling, Alexander + Fenner need to stop playing 10 yards off receivers and taking penalties. Ugly game but were 2-0 and that's all that matters.......Until next week.

THC is not cannabis. It is a single aspect of it. Which is why synthetic forms of THC have a long list of side effects that aren't always associated with whole plant treatments. Doing experiments with only THC is misleading at best and often flat out false, as the other cannabinoids as well as the terpenes present in the plant can alter the effects of THC as well as the ability of THC to properly bind to the cannabinoid cell receptors. The study your quoting did not take other lifestyle choices into consideration. Diet, exercise, careers etc etc etc. It may have also let the participants source their own cannabis, which brings on a whole other list of problems. This is unfortunately extremely common in cannabis studies, maybe false isn't the right word, but these studies are often done with a result already in mind. IE - "Cannabis lowers sperm count" Instead of "Does cannabis lower sperm count?"
Also, the original post talked about altering the DNA of sperm, not lowering the overall sperm count.
I really shouldn't discount these types of studies, and I'm certainly not trying to point out that cannabis is a miracle etc etc. But the vast majority of the studies done on it are trying to find out why its bad for us, not just conducting proper research and letting the results speak for themselves. Again, nothing against the people who did this study...these types of results are legitimately the only way you can continue to get funding to study cannabis in most countries. It's a fairly broken system.. The legalization of cannabis in Canada will bring about some very accurate results for better or worse.

Yourface reacted to JCon in Needs for next year
Really? Streveler was at 63% completion percentage for the first three games, then only 56% for the rest of the season.
For me, right now, Streveler not hitting the receivers is the biggest concern I have with him.
I see Streveler starting for us in 2020, regularly, if he continues to develop but not before that (barring injury to Nichols).

Yourface reacted to Mark H. in 3 stars plus hh long cold winter edition
Does not compute. Calgary passing game was not that great - BLM threw for only 60 yards more than Nichols. No D in the CFL will ever shut him down entirely.
The OL protection was ok but Nichols left the pocket as soon as there was a hint of pressure.

Nichols just said, "I thought I played pretty good"
HH to him for his delusions

I'm not a Friesen fan in the least but he's not wrong if you read the full quote from MOS. They are both right but neither gives full context.

It’s the hit to the head that is the issue. I’m sure all of us would be infuriated had that happened to Nichols.

Yourface reacted to JuranBoldenRules in Matt Nichols is the worst starting QB in the CFL
Cut and paste any number of QB names in there, Buck Pierce, Alex Brink, Drew Willy, Kevin Glenn. Bob loves the QB's. It's rarely their fault. Great PBP man, and has a great historical perspective, not an analyst.

The way the run game was working last game, there should have been receivers open downfield.

True but literally anyone could have scored that. Don’t think Lankford has broken a tackle in his life
