Bomber_fanaddict Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Yeah I was a little confused after reading how excited they were. And listening to the Piffles crew in the background on the feed. Our third stringers bust through the line and are all over Harker and he has to ditch the ball and the comment was "good toss away"....🤔 MOBomberFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Oh, it mattered,” said Bombers quarterback Sean McGuire, who scored the game-winning touchdown on a one-yard sneak with 2:15 left in the game. “There are a lot of rookies in this room and it was an opportunity to prove what they have and just get an opportunity to play football. “I don’t care if we were playing in the parking lot or somebody’s backyard… this is the best game in the world. To be able to come out and play in this environment, I don’t care if it was preseason or not, we all wanted to win. I’m glad we got it.” O’Shea said the team will gather Friday afternoon to watch the game film and then the staff will spend the evening working on the roster before they make their decisions. https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/06/07/gane-recap-wpg-35-ssk-29/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Mark F, Wideleft, 17to85 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 I would lean the same way honestly. He's come in as a young raw rookie and looked poised and accurate with his throws. Bennett has been real good too though so I don't know if there is a wrong answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with Bennett as the 3rd string. I'm not sure if it will play into the decision but Bennett would be a FA next year if he's not extended while McGuire is signed for next year.

Booch Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Best scenario is to keep it as status quo...and put McGuire on the PR as we normally have a QB there so that would be the obvious choice..Bennet offers more at this point not just as a QB and is also more familiar with the league..teams..and offence Tracker, MOBomberFan, Eternal optimist and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-F-F-C Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 It might come down to dollars and cents. With things being as close as they are. The decision might go to the player with the lower contract. I assume McGuire probably is at the league minimum or close to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 19 hours ago, Atomic said: What are your thoughts on the Riders going into this season? From the outside it looks like lots of question marks, especially regarding Collaros, Craig Dickenson, and whether the defence can continue to be as dominant as they were under Chris Jones. I haven't been following their camp too closely though so I'm curious what the fans are saying. Defense will more or less the same and for the most part the strength of team. Adding Powell is a big plus for us. I don't mind our team, we will do ok Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think given another year or two he could be a starter in the league. Just depends on his development really. Has all the tools.

Didn't seem to be worried as pocket collapsed, stuck with his reads and delivered the ball. Our young qb Harker was very good also, this kid looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choudja was on the DL too at that time. So he looked good against our C squad. Whoop De Doo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 even the starting lineup was lean with guys with any experience...a Reilly...BLM...even Harris and Nichols would have carved that up working with their projected offensive starters..wins and losses mean jack in the pre-season but losing at home...with most your starters against bubble guys and never were gonna make it guys...has to be troublesome. I know if that was reversed and we lost a similar game..I'd be very bothered and not too optimistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 McGuire. Simply for the fact we are sitting here debating who to keep... 1 is a RAW rookie... 1 has been around a few years now. The rookie is my choice cuz both him and the 3rd string "vet" looked similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKAChip Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 McGuire certainly looks more like a QB than Bennett. I don't hate Bennett but he's always felt more like a chucker than a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
