Willie for Premier of Manitoba and Supreme Overlord of Morning Big Blue.

It's gonna be CJOB from the HSC for me............. go bombers

Gameday! Get ready for action!
I still get more excited about this game than almost any other one on the schedule, even though we get our asses kicked pretty much every year. The prospect of going into Regina and beating them on Labour Day just makes it feel like Christmas morning.
The Bombers have had 7 starting quarterbacks for the LDC in the last decade, including Chris Streveler today. Let's see what the kid can do.

I hope to see a lot of Bomber fans out here today! Our hotel is packed with them. 
Have fun, be safe and don't, under any circumstances, drink Pilsner. 
Go Bombers! 

I'm not surprised with this in the least. Seemed disinterested when playing, and we just can't have that from a top money player.

Yes I get that....what I meant was that it was risky to have only 2 quarterbacks available period. I felt we needed to have a 3rd qb here to be learning the system just in case. Dressing 2 is fine, but I wanted another here as insurance, and lo and behold, they've brought in another guy. If Streveler leads with his head again this weekend we shall need another guy!

If he had held onto the ball, he would have had more yards. A few other Bombers too. 

Well....Bailey did look like our best most polished guy in camp...silky smooth great route runner and fast with ball in his mitts..and thick strong body type...and biding his time on the P.R working hard...so let's see him get the chance now...he'd be another unknown for the Sask defense to contend with...

This whole thing has been going on for over a month now....I believe what Andrew has been saying, simply because the tests were so close together. I know nothing about the science involved, but I thank those who have posted. It just seems to me that he has a clean test, and then, if he thinks he's in the clear and away we go, he wouldn't have "trace amounts", he'd have the full-on high score. 
So I believe what he's telling us, and I hope he has had the supplement tested as well. 
I think this has ended his MOP chances for sure.

Dbol...an older steroid if masked..the masking agent is detectable...newer drugs though not so much...and a trace amount showing after a clean test...10 days later would do nothing for an athlete..and even if he took what would be the required 10-20 mg dose orally at the very very least to get any benefit would have been 5 days of dosing and would have showed up as a full concentration as that oral would take a minimum of 14 days from last dose and the liver filtering it to be undetected other than maybe trace amounts still in fat cells...and the fat cell test is never done
 
I believe him...as I as well as many others knew how to circumvent the NCAA testing back in the day...because you knew when you would be tested, so I have a good handle on time lines and doses

My Question... if he is taking PE supplements- why metandienone? it is not even one of the good ones available now... it has been out of circulation in the PE "choice of PE drug for at least a decade. I would expect that if he was usuing.. it would be the newer better stuff. Couple that with the trace amounts found and the fact supplement contamination is a real thing and there are extensive studies on it- I am inclined to believe AH33. I would even believe him if he was still playing with BC.  I mean FFS, vitamin C, multivitamin and magnesium tablets were confiscated, which contained cross-contaminations of stanozolol and metandienone.

No way... no crossover team has ever won a Grey Cup.
As for the game Friday, if they lose, I just hope its by 6 points or less - we don't play Edmonton again, so a loss by 7+ points would give EDM the tiebreaker over us.

There is absolutely no reason why this team with Streveler cannot compete with, even beat the Riders.  We have injuries but we still ought to be able to out-talent and out-work them.We shouldn't be out-coached, either.

Also a bit of a reality check...
Could you imagine any other bombers season where our injury list includes two starting LGs, boundary WR, two starting DEs, four starting DBs, starting KR and our starting QB...
And we're not in panic mode (most of us anyway...)

It's generally considered to be bad form if the patient croaks.

Did some pruning in this topic. Let’s not get too personal about our starting QB’s injury and do try to keep things civil. 

It's generally considered to be bad form if the patient croaks.

Streveler hasn’t played a traditional QB role for us yet this year. You’re confusing change of pace gimmick QB for actual QB. He hasn’t been asked to sit in the pocket and go through progressions in a traditional sense, there’s a reason he operates the way he does when he comes in the game.
The coaching staff believes Nichols is a better player, why would they bring Streveler in for a different look if they wanted him to play the same way?

But if Lapo is as smart as he is claimed to be..then he will add misdirection..lots of motion pre snap to see what the defense does..if they choose to just stay in the box to snuff Harris and Streveler draws.. then they will get roasted with bootlegs... Outside swing/screen passes to a speedster like Whitehead or Demski...and a lot of one on ones with Matthew's and Lawler (tho he might be out in think with lower body injury..Hello Bailey) and I like our odds there against the schmoe secondary and Hoover who blows.
They react and spread the defense out to cover the motion..like they should then there will be the usual outlets to use..
We need to run tempo tho throughout game..or to start game...Strevler excels in this and it will eff up the Scmoe gameplan right outta the gate

Holy over reaction batman! 
It's not about bringing in Glenn to replace Streveler. It's about bringing in a veteran as a backup cause let's be honest the way Streveler runs he could very well get hurt too and then you're left with just a rookie quarterback. 
There is no way that anyone other than Streveler was going to be the next man up for this team at quarterback. 

Guy behind me at Thursday's game: They should really just let Streveler run the offense, sure he makes more mistakes, but he's so much more exciting than Nichols.
Me: So is Russian Roulette.

If, in fact, Nichols is unable to answer the bell or is held out as a precaution, and the offence looks the same and as bad under Streveler as it did before, that would be proof that whatever is wrong with the offence lies at the feet of LaPolice. The strange thing is that LaPolice is praised by all and sundry in the CFL. If the offence blossoms under Streveler, that would indicate that the limiting factor has been Nichols.

There are several youtube videos of Streveller that clearly show that he can pass. There may be an ideal throwing motion, but it seems unlikely that there's only one that works.
If Matt is out Streveller will do fine. I agree, the team is good enough now to deal with this.
Hope common sense prevails, and Nichols doesn't play when he shouldn't as did Drew Willy.

When I saw the injury I thought "oh no he just got Lulay'd.". I wonder if he'll ever be able to get back to where he was.
All the best to him in his rehab/recovery and I'll always be a fan whatever happens and wherever he plays ... No one should ever forget that he was the QB1 who brought the Bombers back to contender status.
