Mark F Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 listened to a podcast on CKRM with someone named Derek Taylor, who said that Nichols is playing over his head, and if they get pressure on him he folds. Hard to grasp what it is that these people can't understand about Nichols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pretty weird - Nichols was on his way to being one of the next top CFL QBs until his injury then he really looked done... sure looks like the old Nichols now Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to grasp what it is that these people can't understand about Nichols. I think it comes down to them not being able to distinguish between Glenn and Nichols' records. Being as how they're from Saskatchewan, its understandable. Rod Black and Mark F 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKAChip Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Derek Taylor is from Winnipeg and one of the more knowledgable CFL guys out there. He has an opinion of Nichols based on the data he collects. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has an opinion of Nichols based on the data he collects. what data indicates Nichols "folds" under pressure? I base my opinion on games I've watched. This season, and much of last, Nichols does very well under pressure. Pretty sure there are stats that support that. there was an overtime game quite recently where he drove the team for the score and win. Close games where he did the same thing. leading quarterback in the league statistically. 108 straight pass attempts no int, 9 td passes one int. folding is the opposite of what he's done this year. He's clutch. seems once these authorities state their opinion, they are reluctant to change it. No matter what transpires on the field. Problem with not having thorpe is that he is good at fighting for and getting tough yards after a catch. Which helps with our offence and our short of the first down marker passing game.

Guest J5V Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 2 hours ago, tracker said: We know that we have as good a place-kicker as has ever played in the CFL, and if the Bombers could cash in more than half their red-zone chances, they would be near-unbeatable. I hope that Walters, O'Shea and LaPolice are going to tweak something to make that happen. We need to see Lapo evolve into a mad scientist, brilliant O coordinator with a killer instinct. After Mosaic's comment about the 13th man thing being Lapo's fault I hope he takes it personally and has cooked up a very special set of voodoo dolls for our Rider friends today.

I believe that he is referring to pressure in the sense of defenses pressuring the QB, not in the sense of high-pressure situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good at collecting data, but he makes up obscure ways of synthesizing and analyzing it that aren't recognized or used by anyone else and are often missing some key information or context. I like it when he sticks to more core stats with controls that but still stuff the CFL doesn't necessarily publish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolby Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Man, they're talking a lot of **** over on Riderfans about how scared we should be.

Brandon Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Before the season started Taylor was not a fan of the Blue at all, he was a huge Riders fan saying that they would compete near the top of the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublezero Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 They brought in the Dalai Lama or Archbishop of Sask to lay a curse on Jones, so Bombers should be good today. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Not thrilled that Poop is sitting... would way rather see Santos-Knox in the box and Briggs backing up WIL Need to get at Kevin Glenn early, Loffler needs a big game at safety and our de facto MLB... he'll be the one stopping Marshall Target Denmark in the redzone please, like to see Dressler take one punt back to the endzone too please Going to be a great game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
