Noeller Posted August 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Al, you're our resident Stamps guy around here... What do you know about O'Connor? Can he pick up where Rourke left off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can he pick up where Rourke left off? O'Connor has a strong arm & he's a tall lanky qb. He can run but not like Rourke. I can't see him making some of the throws Rourke did but he has motivated receivers who will work hard to get open for him. He won't be putting up the numbers Rourke did but I could see him throwing for 200-250 yard a game. I think teams will blitz the **** out of him trying to rough him up. That OL benefitted from Rourke's ability to get away from pressure & throw laser beam accurate passes. O'Connor can't do that. If the Lions go 50% the rest of the way they'll be hosting the Western Semi Final. JCon, rebusrankin, Tracker and 3 others 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its solely a ratio reason then sure...but if it's not.. it will eventually be Pipkin I bet Don't think ratio would be the case as QBs are non-counters aren't they?

JuranBoldenRules Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Back to high school O’Connor is what the NCAA types dub a “pro-style” QB meaning he has limited mobility. It’ll certainly be an adjustment for that offense. Rourke is a 4.7 40 guy, O’Connor is a 5.2 40 guy. He won’t be running by any DL. wbbfan and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 O'Conor can make most throws...but has no elusiveness, and no threat to kill you around the edge, also he isn't even close to Rourke at processing , and reading, and Rourke was still learning too...he was just being pin point on his first read and hot routes, and had ability to scramble away to ake the deep shot when a receiver got in behind someone....so BC is going to look way different now, and possibly flounder a bit....and I know they "claim" O'Connor is the guy moving forward, but the switch to Pipkin is just a matter of time. Their defense is going to have to be lights out now, and I dont think they have the horses to do that...especially with now prob being on the field more, and not having a 3 score cushion to work behind Piggy 1 and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Yeah that's an awful injury for Rourke and the Lions. You don't just next man up when your starter is having that kind of season. BC isn't a good enough team overall to absorb that loss IMO. Noeller and Stickem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Any chance Reilly comes out of retirement for the play off run? Maybe Strev comes back to the CFL if he gets cut? I don't think this is the end of the Lions but it definitely is a major blow. Next weeks game against Saskatchewan may answer a lot of the questions on O'Connor/Pipkin.

Even if he did, do you think he'd play for Rourke's pro-rated 65K for the rest of the season? How would the Lion's manage that cap mess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a firefighting career he’s pursuing. A career that pays 50% more than Rourke is making. Wideleft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 If anything that may help them...Hickson is the better true back...every down type....and with reps would get even better...Morrow is not a true every down back....and doesn't wow me one bit...heck he barely ahead of BO now and he did nothing for 2/3 of his season.....and Duke is just trash, not a difference maker...out of shape and injury prone and sucking up more than we paying Schoen and Ellingson combined...which is soooo funny Bigblue204 and GCJenks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipkin has all the tools but appears to be highly resistant to coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Morrow was the better back of the two, that has been one of the few bright spots they have had. Bigblue204 and Tracker 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
