With all the attention on our injuries, and the hype surrounding Rourke, I really believe that the real key to this game is going to be scoring more points than BC.  If we can do that, I think we're going to be fine.

hmmm....wonder if he could be lured back....that would be a huge addition

He’s still young with lots of tread on the tire. But he hasn’t played in what 4 years? At this point I’d roll with the young guys we saw in camp and pre season.

And to think how much people **** on Matt Nichols..... 

 

but yeah Collaros is gonna climb that list quickly if he stays healthy. 

How does it make sense that we played two games in 5 days, no bye this week, but Toronto has already had 2 byes in 5 weeks? Absolutely a jumbled mess of a schedule.

And to think how much people **** on Khari Jones during his last years....   

And to think how much people **** on Michael Bishop despite going 11 - 1 with the Argos in 2007.   

Maybe just maybe.... people did not  **** on Matt Nichols pre injuries.     Also what was his winning % last year in Ottawa?

Are you suggesting, pre-2019, that people didn't **** on Nichols? That was the favourite pastime of some.

Michael Bishop never won anywhere else, the difference between a 12 game sample size and a 60 game sample size is huge.

That run in Toronto, was mostly done on the back of their D and special teams....

Even then they got exposed against the Bombers in the playoffs. It was apparent they were never going to win anything with a QB who can’t complete half his passes.

Maaaaaaan

That would be huge

Kinda wonder how Nichols would've done under Bucks offense instead of Lapos Marcus Sayles offense with 5 yard hooks.

Lapo is an offensive passing master........horizontally.

My point exactly on why Nichols win loss record towards the end is more indicative of the team play then his own play.

I also wonder what Drew Willy would've looked like if you imported him (prime aged) into the existing offense (or last years)

Still wouldn't work, look how much Zach uses his legs to find space and time, Willy was basically immobile.

What makes Zach so great is how cool and calm he is in the pocket, his pocket awareness is second to none in the CFL, he’s not the quickest QB by far but the way he can move around the pocket, keep his eyes down field, and not let the heat get to him while he throws makes him special, and unique from anything or anyone the CFL has to offer at the QB position right now.

I agree with that... not saying he would necessarily be a superstar... just a curious "what if" about a player that showed potential but was in a bad situation.

I dont know, but I am really liking how our bye weeks are set up this year...

The entire league has changed in the past 5 years, with ferocious defensive play the days of the planted pocket passer are over.

Until a Kent Austin-type passer comes along.

If you click on the sort tab for win percentage... Zach is king of that hill...
