BTW, this isn't meant to be an attack on your post.... I agree on the points you've made as to why they might not overturn some stuff... this was just not one of those moments. I agree, and I was not trying to defend the call. This was not ticky-tack, I am saying the mindset of both sides is “defer to the other party” so no one stands up and makes the call that needs to be made. Sorry if my post was not clear enough there. It was absolutely a blown call, and command centre has been really bad at many calls this year. An overhaul is due.

It’s incredibly concerning that the refs and the command center both look at that and say “Yep. Good to go.” That hurts the reputation of the league.

It's rarely called. I've always felt offense gets a huge advantage when it comes to what one can and can't do when fighting for the ball.

Arnold_Palmer Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 I’m surprised how enamoured they are with CF on rider fans. They think he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread.

blue_gold_84 Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Already anointed as a franchise QB in Riderville. He'll be 30 by the time the 2022 season kicks off, so I have my doubts and I think his ceiling is well known. He's got the skillset to be an effective QB in the CFL. However, what's between his ears will continue to hinder him unless he learns to not be bothered by external factors like fan opinion on social media.

I'd say that depends on what a team's expectations are...in terms of a downfield passing game But he will be employed...somewhere. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted December 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Yup the comparisons are laughable..his completion percentage is a funny one...if he can't make all those 2 to 5 yard passes to offset the 6% efficiency on deep balls over 20 yards then u really suck...and 20 yards isn't deep . That's the funny part...and thing they don't see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Mike Reilly in 2013 4207 passing yards, 25 td passes, 18 interceptions, 709 yards rushing, 1 td, 8.4 yards per carry Cody Fajardo in 2021 if you take his 13 games and make it 18 using averages 4112passing yads, 19 tds, 15 interceptions, 648 rushing yards, 6 yards a carry. I mean its somewhat close but that was Reilly's first year as a starter and he had thrown 75 passes in the CFL going into the season. It was Fajardo's second season as a starter and he had thrown 541 passes going into this year. Plus you know MR can complete a 20 yard pass and has more arm talent.
