Rod Black doing figure skating this weekend. There is a God, after all.

I’m absolutely disgusted knowing that us blowing a game against the Argos is what (likely) cost us a home playoff game. 

More like 3. 

Sincere apology to Redblacks. Said losing to BC was rock bottom. I was wrong. So, so wrong.

That RedBlack team is disgustingly bad.

They could do worse, but unless they have a much better coach, Argos will still go nowhere.

I often cannot choose between crunchy and smooth peanut butter, so no.

I would say they go hard for Arbuckle. They would prefer him over MBT, IMO.

The Argos don’t even want MBT.  

Why on earth is MBT being discussed as a possible starting QB?

Probably people who watched his 2nd half vs the bombers and no other argos games and assume that's who he always is.

Yeah, he does have some receivers to throw to -- Posie, Green, Walker ... they made him look good at times.

He had a decent season. An all time bad defense overshadowed that.

Just like Nichols & Streveler, put MBT in another offense with a different OC, better qb coaching & he will do a lot better.

Chamblin is an expensive albatross around the neck of every player on that team.

As a HC he's been living off that one GC year in 2013. He may be a very good DC (debateable) but terrible as a HC.

The team would do better.

Maybe. I've seen great passers play on bad teams. So, not necessarily true. Jacques offense is not a qb friendly offense. He was never a qb. He was a receiver so he built his offense from a receiver perspective & not a qb. He tries to create matchup problems for the defense. It's a complex offense to learn & terminology is different from other offenses. My son played in it for a year at SFU. Jacques rejigged it for American football. All the qbs had a hard time learning it but they did. He would have liked to have played in it the following season as he felt he was beginning to master it by the end of that season. He uses the same offense in the CFL, rejigged back to 3 down football though. No surprise that MBT is playing better now than he did at the beginning of the year as he's feeling more comfortable with Jacques offense. Not surprised Franklin hasn't played well. Some qbs really struggle trying to understand it. Saw the same thing at SFU.

A different oc and better QB coaching would make the team better.....not just one guy....

It's been said here before by other posters but sometimes OC's outsmart themselves. We see that with LaPo & with Chapdelaine. Plus in meetings, Jacques can be condescending & intimidating which makes learning even more difficult. Expecting qbs to be PHD level smart to master a playbook isn't the best idea, I believe. An OC will neuter any talent his qbs have by having them think too much out on the field. Or suffer from a lack of confidence which leads to sacks & turnovers. It takes longer for them to completely understand the playbook & have their natural abilities start to take over. Posters here can say what they want about Dave Dickenson as a HC but he does foster a much more positive atmosphere for his qbs to learn & grow. Being a former qb he knows what it takes to play well in the CFL & he has a lot of success grooming young qbs.
