In fact, I didn't want us to trade for him in the first place because of his health. It's turned out great so far, but I'm still worried about a big hit taking him out yet again. this is the only thing that still really worries me about Zach... and I fear the opponent we're playing on Sunday will not hesitate to take a cheap shot if it's available...

Noeller Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 that's the biggest issue with trotting Fajardo out there. Their OL is going to get him killed...or at least crippled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Im sure if Fajardo got crippled he would thank God and continue to be a messenger of the JC gospel. He seems like a good dude so hopefully hes not permanently injured.. Just a wee bit be enough. 66 Chevelle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, having him and the way he played basically sealed it and left no doubt. We were a better team because of him. I don't know about that, Streveler created a lot of first downs they would not have made otherwise, he helped keep the offence on the field throughout the game. voodoochylde, J5V, 66 Chevelle and 6 others 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a good team with a nice compliment of weapons he is excellent and a guy who will win you more than you lose, but he is what he is...won't become anything more now and isn't a guy who will consistently out a team on his back and carry/will/inspire them to win by himself. He may make the odd spectacular play but it will be rare and it's not in his DNA Strev is a different beast at this time...smart and young/inexperienced and learning the game...He is fire and determination and a outright beast who can..and has taken a game in his hands and just powered his way to succeed at any cost, its more so one dimensional to this point, but is leaps and bounds better than when he first got here...he can and has done he spectacular and sticking with him over the longterm will do it over and over and he WILL start doing it in the air...for all the detractors out there he is not just a runner....he's just been more of a runner while here than a passer, and thats due to his limited experience as a starting qb at any level. The special thing with Strev is the team already has his respect and see's his commitment to the team and what he will do...and they will go through a wall for him, on both sides of the ball because they see him doing it on every play..and that is huge..he has that unique ability to raise the level of play of everyone..defense included and players have already said as much. What Streveler achieved against the Stamps was an incredible display of athleticism and brute will, but taking that amount of punishment is totally unsustainable on a game to game basis IMO, as it is I'm not all that confident he can get through two more games playing with such reckless abandon. If Fajardo is absent or less than 80% I think Collaros can beat the Riders with limited assistance from Streveler, using him sparingly would be wise, saving his beast mode for the big day. Against the Stamps Streveler did not attempt a single pass, he either ran or handed off every time he touched the ball, it was a freak show.

Strev’s reckless abandon could be sustainable with spinerama type moves and getting scintillating blocks. He could be helped with additional paraphenalia allowing a dipsy doodle for another glorious scoring opportunity sustaining canonading drives. Looking forward to his runs causing hair raising reaction to the enemy coach.

I've been to Oakland four times & was glad I never had to get off the freeway except where our destination was. Just hoping I didn't have car trouble.

Cops were arresting homeless people living under the stands at the football stadium everyday as the practices were going on. Each day as the camp ended as the sun was going down the head coach urged us to get to our cars & GTFOH as soon as we can.

Too much risk with an injury to justify a 1st round draft choice. Nichols I'm on the fence over. And it has to do with his shoulder. That could possibly be a career threatening injury. Streveler is getting significant raise and he's back. I really don't think he gets an NFL look. Mcguire is back because he's under contract. So, those are our 2 QB's for next season? Because we can only have 2... McGuire can't go on the PR without voiding the contract you are quoting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, a Canadian white boy from the arctic flatlands will have a unique experience understanding life on the streets in Oakland. We might have agreed until we found out there are no dorms at Laney. That my son would have to live in that war zone off campus. Uh uh. Never happened. He ended up playing JUCO at College Of The Siskiyous.

The loss of a first round pick makes signing collaros to an extension a lot less likely. (i wonder what happens if we sign him after the draft?) Hes got a better skill set then nichols. Better arms and touch on the deep ball by a lot. But hes still a guy youre on pins and needles with. No way could I see relying on him as the starter for a whole season. Im sure both guys will have deals next year with some role if they desire it. I dont think either goes into a camp as the go to qb for a team though.
