Nickthesizz Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I think this team gets complacent when coming in to back to backs or after a big win, hopefully they learned an important lesson in BC and never take the foot off the gas again this season.

You can't be serious if you think that is the strength of his game, I'm sorry! I think he meant that Nichols is better than Shreveler at going deep. Another plus of having Nichols back is that our best receiver - Adams - has been busier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it isn't the strength of his game but he has struggled less with it than streveler has. I say again, love the upside of Streveler but Nichols is way, way more polished. Give Streveler another year or two and see where he is at. Nickthesizz and blue85gold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSkunk Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Streveler looked like he could do it all. He was very exciting to watch play when he started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has the potential to make any pass, but still tossed up some that showed he still needed to get used to the game up here a bit. He also had the massive advantage of other teams not have footage or enough on him. Having that + being a running qb is deadily. Dont get me wrong, he is the best rookie cfl qb ive seen in ages. And I think he will eventually be a star in the league. But he isnt as ready as he seemed. He is however the most ready guy not starting already. What a great position to be in. And a new one for us. Idr the last time we had it this good. A very good qb, just under the elite tier with the best youngest back up and guy who looks like he will be a star. 1 hour ago, Brandon said: Edit...

I suspect a good part of that is the running threat. If the MLBer sticks on streveler that opens up the middle. If he doesnt that opens up lanes for streveler. In the first game edm did a pretty masterful job of using the mlber against him but he still played great. ddanger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Blue&Gold Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Nichols...Streveler...Harris. Damn fine players who wouldn't be nearly as effective without a monster O-line leading the way. Not taking away from the QBs or Harris of course but our O-line has been dominant so far this season. Fun to watch those boys work every game. wbbfan, Albertabomberguy, Mark H. and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddanger Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 We are very fortunate to have a back-up QB that really is an option should something happen to Nichols. Haven't had this luxury in years! Right now we are totally winning in the battle of the trenches, and that is having an amazing effect on 33. And as long as he keeps buying the boys double cheeseburgers, we should be just fine! White Out and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
