Albertabomberguy Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Just read on twitter that the bombers are about to add Mitchell Gale to the practice roster Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 👁🗨Yes, apparently, Gale approached the Bombers and showed them his CFL card. He has 5 holes punched in that card, and would the Bombers mind making them his 6th team? Walters and LaPo, always accommodating, granted his request, and he now has joined 6 Teams in the CFL. That card we are talking about is becoming known as the Glenn Card (GC for short) and is accepted in all CFL cities. Truly an honour to have one of these GCs, and nobody can say different. G.P. Comp.

Atomic Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 I thought they'd sign Gale as soon as Nichols got injured. Nice to have a little experience behind Streveler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanoT Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Bombers need a QB on the active roster that actually has some CFL experience and Gale fits the bill, having played in several different offensive systems. Too bad for the Bombers that they didn't sign him once Durant retired so he could have attended TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 God what a season for Alex Ross eh? Guy has an opportunity to be a week one starter but loses out then gets hurt on the one play he actually gets to run which was a clusterfuck of a play to start with. Some guys must be just cursed.

I never inferred that Gale was better than Durant. Edit: Actually Bombers didn't do anything re: a CFL experienced backup until 3rd string QB Ross got injured so it took 2 injured QBs to actually do anything...weird.

The issue then and now was the availability of experienced veteran QBs. Does Gale really offer that much more than Alex Ross? I'm not so sure.

johnzo Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) Gale has a start and a win on his resume, so he's got a tiny edge over Ross there ... though you could say the same of the Fever (actually, several starts and wins for him) Weird thing about Gale is how many teams have moved on from him, in a league starved for backup QBs.

BigBlue Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) I believe Bennett has high potential and real stuff (but not as talented as Streveler) ... I Brian can be a good starter one day ... he is one play away from being the only QB that knows our play book Edited June 18, 2018 by BigBlue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueingreenland Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Gale is a warm body anyway. That's what we need right now. The rules don't allow us to dress an extra import instead of that 3rd QB so Gale is here. Hopefully Shreveler and Bennet can do the job until Nicholls gets back.

17to85 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Yeah this is just an extra arm to have around since we are down to only 2 healthy bodies at qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALuCsRED Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 According to CBC, the Bombers brought in Gale because Nichols was hurt. This is the worst story ever. It doesn't even mention the injury to Ross. Why does the CBC even try? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/blue-bombers-cfl-football-quarterback-mitchell-gale-1.4710775 Mark F and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe how ridiculous the Rider propaganda machine is. According to their fans, Bond looked great and everyone had him written into the lineup in ink. But as soon as he gets cut, well he showed up out of shape and looked awful. They are so pathetic over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
