Well that loss stung last night. Not happy with the decision to kick the FG but that can be discussed elsewhere  All in all there was a lot of improvement this year over last year and looking like they are trending upwards. If Walters can pull off another great draft and some more key FAs this offseason I like our chances going into 2017. Who is on the FA watch list and what areas are we in desperate need of fixing?

Does Glenn go Green again?

I think if Jones believes he has a stud QB in the stable, he'll pick up Glenn.

Maybe Jones brings in Burris and Carter. Goes for the quick turnaround.

 

(Has Carter signed yet? I feel out of the loop.)

This should be a very interesting season in Regina. Spectacularly implosive.

No kidding. I wonder what they have planned if he signs. Werent they previously asking a fortune for him this off season?

 

Drew Willy nets us a first overall pick and a divisional all-star defensive back

Darian Durant nets Chris Jones two middle round picks, one of which is conditional

...

 

hehe

No Carter hasn't signed anywhere. There was a story released earlier this week that Kavis had spoken to him though as apparently the two of them have a good relationship

Durante to the ALS has an awful lot of SK fans cheesed at Jones. Now even less hope for the hopeless.

Lawless says Burris will not be going to Saskatchewan.

 

I've read a few tweets from rider fans that everything is going to be okay, and that next year either Franklin or Reilly will be a rider.

My question is... Does Jones make it that far if the team struggles terribly without a number 1 QB this year?

jones apparently sees Bridge as the a dave dickenson QB, and Kinne grew up around BLM whatever that has to do with anything.  

 

he's definitely not set at QB, once FA starts I think who ever is still available will likely get a phone call

I was hoping they'd lose him for nothing.

This might give Nichols more leverage, but if Jones wasn't willing to pay for Durant, why would he open the wallet for Nichols?

Imagine the opening game at their brand new stadium and the last guy out of the tunnel during player introductions is ...

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAND YOUR STARTING QUARTERBACK

No way Jones makes a move like this without having some kind of realistic plan  for the immediate future. Now, having said that, until I see a legitimate QB sign his name to a contract with them, I'll continue to hope and pray for the most epic of tire fires over there...

TBH I think at this point in their careers Bridge is the incumbent #1 with his 2 career starts

My guess is that he overpays for Franklin...  signs Glenn as veteran insurance. 

 

 

i guess Bridge would be the safer bet... of their current QBs bridge is light years ahead of the rest in career #s

Bridge: 37/53 for 445 yards, 2 tds 1 int  (2016: 11/13 for 163 yards)

G.J. Kinne:  4/11  24 yards  0 tds 0 ints

Jake Waters: 3/5 40 yards 0 tds 0 ints (broke his collar bone)

Bryan Bennett: 0/0 0TDs 0 ints

 

noooo way that is who they are rolling with come june

I would think that Hervey's asking price from Jones for Franklin just went up too.

mr nichols will be a wanted qb now, maybe the riders will take a run at him, will be very interesting next few weeks

I don't see it...  if they are not willing to pay big cash for Durant then why would they spend more for Nichols?

Jones didn't have a lot of confidence in Nichols in Edmonton, so I don't see the fit.

This, and even if they did I don't see Nichols wanting to play for Jones

The Durant trade is about getting something for a QB that Regina wasn't going to sign anyway. It's about removing all doubt that Durant is going to be 'the guy' to turn Regina around. In Montreal it's about getting a vet QB to go with the youngsters. I doubt that it helps or hurts Nichols as Regina wasn't in the cards anyway and Montreal wanted a vet QB not a guy with a year as a starter under his belt.

Nichols won't sign with the Riders as long as he has a functioning brain in his head and a veto.

Why do I picture Jones in a sombrero right now saying

" QBS we don't need no stinking QBs"

Doubt Durant is going to Mtl. to mentor anyone, expect he will play every snap as long as he remains healthy.  Cato may end up in Sask. eventually.
