You come here and you take your lumps and you manage to be more than tolerable, which is waaaay more than I can say for most other Rider fans. But I've seen this story before. Lots. Letting go of Durant wasn't the mistake. Letting go of him this year was. If Jones was going to cast off Durant without a proper replacement, he should've done it right from the get go year one. This is going to be the second year wasted because of that decision. Your defense might be great. I have my doubts, but one never really knows. That being said, I've seen a lot of great Bomber defenses on 6-12 or 7-11 teams because they didn't have a QB. And you don't have a QB. And that about sums it up.

You do realize that the word giddy means more than just using the word before the word "up" don't you. From your own site... Would you support the Riders bringing Justin Cox back to the team? Yesterday, 05:28 PM Yes. 85.07% And then you read the comments in the Cox thread...yes giddy, and I'm being polite. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that movie... Twice You're right it's not in the balance.... you have no Durant at all period and no Kevin Glenn isn't going to be the saviour. He didn't do crap in Montreal last year, guy is just about done and there is a reason he's been the backup most places lately. Durant was the franchise in Saskatchewan, he was there and playing they won he wasn't playing and they were an embarrassment, it truly does blow my mind that Rider fans are so willing to accept moving Durant in favour of Kevin Glenn, Vince Young and a bunch of young qbs. We've seen this movie in the CFL before and it's a recipe for disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nichols did a great job last year not turning the ball over and playing within himself. No question about it. But Matt has had his troubles with untimely INT's in his career, in fact that's what made him expendable in Edmonton. I like where the Bombers are at and am happy for you guys, but to say Nichols is night and day better that Glenn is simply not true and the numbers show it. if the 2016 Nichols shows up you will have a good season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) The numbers show that Kevin Glenn was 3 and 5 as a starter last season and Matt Nichols was 10-3. In my opinion, this shows Nichols was better than Glenn. Nichols averaged 275 yards per games in his starts.

Look at the numbers and tell me Nichols is night and day better. YPG isnt a good metric to judge a qb by on a bad team. You get behind and suddenly the run play goes out the window. Glenn had flashes last year. When he plays, with those WRs i think we will do well. How ever the chances he can stay healthy for 12 or more games is very slim. With out glenn the riders go from an entertaining offense keeping them in games to right back in the toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to hang Nichols with past performance issues. He has overcome the issues and learned how to be successful. He wins more than than Glenn. Glenn can't get better and is in decline.
