My fave from the last game was he somehow thought the best play was to run into the back of the Olineman holding the BC player. Watching the game live, I rarely saw open receivers. They just seemed inept out there. Not to say Davis didn't hold the ball too long, a rookie mistake, but the receivers were not helping him whatsoever. ddanger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of agree here.. He knows his limitations and that is arguably the hardest throw to make in CFL football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted October 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 @DarrinBauming Reading between the lines here, I would bet Dan LeFevour gets the start Friday in Calgary. #Bombers Andrew Harris "ran around" today, and Timothy Flanders practiced, so that's another critical position on O still to be determined for Friday Travis Bond did not practice today, and I would think he's doubtful for Friday. Pat Neufeld has filled-in extremely well at LG. #Bombers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Why on earth would they start the fever when he threw two of the worst ints I have seen... it's the complete antithesis of the offense Lapo runs here. Low risk avoid turn overs at all costs. Davis turtling and eating the sack makes more sense in that offense than Lefevour using his noodle arm to throw right to the other team.

Having said that he's got better arm IMHO then LeFevour though LeF is smarter. The evidence for either conclusion is sadly lacking, alas. aalgernon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget the hospital balls he chucked up to Harris. I would start Davis, and it's not even close.

He took over a game plan that was not suited for his skill set and he wasn't able to adjust. See, I'm not sold that those sacks were because of his indecision. He had no problem getting the ball out of previous drives. He is certainly slower getting the ball out than Nichols, be it going through reads or with his release, but attributing those sacks to indecision automatically is like saying Nichols' sacks come from indecision. I don't buy it. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start LeFevour and give LaPo the day off, it might get ugly but Dan will do better on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Starting LeFevour would be absolutely asinine. He has no arm strength, continually makes poor decisions in the pass game (well documented in previous stops too) and is prone to turnovers. Its the opposite of how the Bombers want their QB to play. Sure Davis took some sacks (against a few blitzes, I might add) but he easily looked better than LeFevour. Davis or LeFevour may not change the outcome of the game Friday night, but it certainly makes me concerned they're so willing to by-pass Davis after one game.

Amongst my many disappointments with the game was the ridiculous decisions to keep DD in the pocket when he clearly has the legs to roll out and run if needed. Really surprised they didn't adjust the offence to suit his style. blue_gold_84 and BigBlueFanatic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I think starting Lefevour is a smart move- the last thing we want to do is throw Davis to the wolves. That Calgary D is relentless and could easily break a new QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddanger Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Davis has been here for a couple of years, and I think 6 total in the league. It's time he proves one way or another that he's worth the $$. Honestly I can see the Bombers letting both LeFevour and Davis go in the off-season if they can't get something going this weekend.

Cut that number in half and you're correct. He signed with the Stampeders in Feb. 2015, was released in June during TC, and then picked up by the Bombers at the end of that month.

Mr Dee Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I don’t think it’s ridiculous either. We should start Davis. All year, and last, we were waiting for the opportunity to play Davis...to see what he can provide. There is no better chance than now. Is he worth keeping? Why would we keep Davis as a backup when we don’t trust him to play? We need that information. Our history of not finding that backup QB, who can step in, is checkered at best. But now is not the time to play checkers. Think ahead. Plan accordingly. Davis has been around long enough. Play him. bb1, blue_gold_84, JCon and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether or not a bunch of backups play, this is a game that can very well determine the fate of both DD and Fever. We're trying to win this game I assume, and get second place. If the offence can't move the ball against back up players, then they will have to answer for that. I know we let a PR QB go a week or so, but we've signed him to a "futures" contract for next year. Maybe we have something there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddanger Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 A friend of mine works at the arena, and Harris was there on Sunday night watching the Jets Philly game. If he can watch a hockey game his head is fine. Watching the puck and the players will tell you right away about the status of your head and whether you have a concussion or not. But like Westwood said on the Big Show this morning, I too will say a little prayer for #33 if he takes the field in Calgary. Get him to his 1000 and get him out.
