    In McKee's 3 seasons as a Blue Bomber his success rate as a kicker was a dreadful 39.1%.

    That's crazy!! I think even I could have hit 40% ( as long as the kicks were from 15 yards or closer).

    No, wait - Don Jonas.  No idea who held for him.  I think it might have be the person who was then known as Ralph Brock.

    I believe Jonas got traded in 1974 when Brock arrived so he wouldn't held for him.

    The only regular QB/kicker that I remember was Sonny Wade.  But I think he was just a punter.

    I know Danny White was the kicker for the Cowboys many years ago (he later became the starting QB).

  4. Okay, I got another question. Why couldn't the Bombers list their back-up running back as the 3rd QB (besides Collaros and McGuire) and then list Streveler as a running back? It would only be an issue if we had an injury, but otherwise it might work. Am I correct??

    Let's face it, if Nichols puts up 221 yards, despite the win, this board loses it mind.  

    Fact is, we need a manager. And Manager Collaros is on duty. 

    Most reasonable people on this board (that excludes some), just want to win -stats are secondary to us. Nichols was a winner - he wasn't flashy, but he often got the job done. He was the best option we had at the time.

    Collaros' stats weren't flashy, but we need to remember he hasn't played a whole game in about a season and a half...and he had only 2-3 practices where he ran our offense. He likely has a higher ceiling than Nichols (i.e. makes some plays out of nothing). Let's hope he stays healthy for 3 playoff games!

    Anything is better than Lapo but nothing (other than Khari, which isn't happening) would be better than Osh.

    If O Shea moved on I wonder if they'd reach out to Mike Riley...he's an offensive coordinator in the XFL (in their upcoming season, so they'd have to pry him away before the season starts). It would be worth the price of a phone call anyways...

    Two issues with bringing back Zac next year: the injury concerns and the fact that it would cost us a first rounder. I'm hoping Zac helps us win the cup and then retires so that he has a better quality of life for the rest of his life.

    He hopes to play for 5 more years...

    I remember him never winning a cup either.  And I remember him not really liking signing a picture for my son at a rifles game many years ago.  

    Shame on Milt for not being perfect...

     

    On a related note I remember when he signed and gave my 3 year old his playing gloves (I later stole those gloves from my 3 year old).

  9. Yeah, well those Bomber teams from around '88 to '91 had a great defense. In fact the Bombers MAY have had the best defense of all time in the CFL during those years (our offense sucked between the Clements and Dunigan years, but we still managed 2 Grey Cups).

    That's why I am so sad about this year. Our defense is good, our offense has some good players...weakness is at QB and with Nichols going down it is even weaker. Maybe we can still pull it off...

    As much as rider fans like to complain about mcadoo the guy does put in a system that helps mask his qbs deficiencies. 

    Interesting comment. Macadoo was nearly run out of town last year. Rider fans, seemingly in unison, blamed him for the offense's woes. This year not so much. I wonder what changed?!?!
