Training Camp is over, the roster has been set, and the biggest Q is who should MOS start at QB.

The Bomber Brass are comparing notes on that and have yet to decide so its not clear cut by any means. The default is Ross by a nose but we could have 3 legit thoroughbreds in our stable all at once.

I personally believe Steveler has the most upside based on pure talent, scrambling pizzazz, and the ability to see the whole field. He is also the most likely to turn the ball over and make gigantically good plays. Ross will protect the ball best and run the short game well.

Ross may have played the most regular season downs but Bennett has the most experience especially in the Bomber system. I can see us saying later in the year "why didn't we start using Bennett earlier?" He is my pick for short yardage QB but I would be happy with Steveler in that role too.  My best guess: Ross starts but Steveler comes in as soon as Ross has two or three bad series in a row.

As much as we all hate him, this team could really use the talent infusion that Duron Carter would add to the table.

Sure, but his "zero work ethic" wouldn't play well around this club. 

 

I'm not sure how it's going to go over in TO and how long it will be before he wears out his welcome.

is work ethic really the problem with him? I wouldnt suspect so. I would think its selfishness. Which also wouldnt fly. If he had his head on right he could be in the nfl easily. instead he is a mid season free agent in the cfl.

With the right person mentoring him he might be okay. Kind of like Mike Tyson and Cus D'Amato. Probably too late though.

Work ethic is what causes the problem. He doesn't practice "hard", he takes plays off and generally seems aloof.

If you're out there busting your ass, you expect everyone else to. It's about accountability. 

Most people think he's a good guy, just too damn selfish and lazy to be a good teammate.

Oh please the "whining" by Nichols is nothing. That's just frustration from a losing effort coming through. Guy isn't like that, just a heat of the moment lapse in his usual attitude. 

Watch when Matty gets hit tomorrow......last game he did not like it. I am really curious to see how tough he is going to be tomorrow in order to get that win and get us closer to second place in the west.

Got hit and didn’t like it?

That’s perplexing..

He really really didn't like it.... like he was surprised it even happened.   He did not look impressed,  he did not just pop up like it was nothing and it is a part of the game..... really watch tomorrow for it, I will be.

Brandin Bryant on the roster this week and the Sun speculated team isn't happy with Cory Johnson. So Bryant in tomorrow?

Oh stop. Just stop. Stop.  Just Stop.  Blah, blah, blah, blah.  Is this some kind of Red Badge Of Courage thing for you? Is Matt supposed to jump up & laugh at the Stampeders defense everytime he gets hit? Is he supposed to scream, "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT???" Then thump his chest & call another play?  No qb likes to get hit. Stop talking such crazy s h i t.

That would be nuts if Cory Johnson ended up as the latest scapegoat for Richie Hall...

I'm thinking stupid penalties are what could potentially have him in the doghouse. He's taken a few of them this season.

There were roughly 6 second and long situations where the Bombers were called on a penalty which extended the drives. Over 20pts were scored as a result of it. Please don't give all that credit to Trevor Harris nor blame the scheme because I can guarantee the defense didn't scheme all those penalties. It was a complete disaster on the penalty side of the game....whether they were warranted or not. 

And yet he still had nearly 400 yards passing. Let’s not blame penalties for the fact that we were softer than baby **** on second down all night.

Well if the Sun said so....Bryant is just getting a game cheque. Cory will be playing.

 

Edit: Well this didn't age well.
