Zontar Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) He could flame out in camp and story evapourates by opening day. But if he doesnt.... how on earth does he get the reps to progress without robbing Masoli ? As a fan im not against him in theory but I want to know what the plan is.

Blueandgold Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Masoli isn’t great. I’m sure he’s also going to have a very short leash now and the circus will be in town sooner rather than later with Manziel at the helm. From a Bombers perspective, id like us to make a deal for Vernon Adams. He’s relegated to third string in Hamilton now, and he showed he could play when he was in Montreal. bb1 and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Masoli is really good, Montreal would take him in a flash. Masolli holds the league record for consecutive completions. Manziel.... from what I've read, has never shown that he can master a playbook. Edited May 19, 2018 by Mark F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue204 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Doesn't deserve it's own thread. We have an off season thread for other teams. Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 I think it deserves a thread.... it's quite significant media wise for the team and the league, locally, across Canada, and in the US. Goalie, Blue-urns, Atomic and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 So how many American reporters are going to be covering Ticats camp now? It's going to be a zoo over there all season. I'm excited to see what Johnny Football can do in the CFL. Whether he dominates, fizzles out, or fails spectacularly I'm sure it will be fun to watch.

Brandon Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 It definitely will bring eyeballs to the CFL Manziel if focused could be a good cfl qb.... I think his chances of NFL are pretty much toast. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Manziel will be good for the CFL's name recognition in the US of A. I'm looking forward to see what he can do, but I'm not expecting much, especially in the first year while he scrapes the rust off and learns the differences in the CFL game.

I think his chances of NFL are pretty much toast. quite a few American media people think that if he does well in the CFL for a couple of years, he'll be back in the NFL. Think I heard Rodney Harrison said that. Edited May 19, 2018 by Mark F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 I hope that if he gets into a peep of trouble, the Ticats and/or the CFL ship his ass home. Dude's got some bad stuff on his rap sheet. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold_Palmer Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 His partnership with Barstool sports is EQUALLY important to him playing pro football so that just shows where his mindsets at. Talented and exciting player but I didn’t see guys like Troy Smith who won the Heisman light up the CFL. He’s going to have to put the work in and compete against Masoli who has slowly gotten better and better each year. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I'm ok with it, but if I were a ticat fan/coach I'd be concerned. Barstool is huge, and will bring a lot of distraction for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCJenks Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Maybe I haven’t been following along closely enough but what is Barstool sports and why is this partnership a big deal? johnzo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpan85 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Manziel has all the abilities to be a top level QB in this league it's just on him if he wants to put the work in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
