Walker and Thomas can rotate. Edited February 9, 2023 by JohnnyAbonny wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work to be done, if they roll with the leftovers from last year, they will be worse off this year. The D-line needs an influx of talent inside and on the end.

Count me as tickled pink that the Riders went with Harris instead of Evans. Evans still has some upside and is young. Evans/Fajardo/Harris are all the same guy right now. 6 of one, half a dozen of another, in so far as effectiveness. Only thing is one of them is young and can improve. I don't see the Riders being any better, or the Als being any worse with their switch of QBs. IMO, the Riders best and only option should have been Dane Evans possibly finding his game again. Harris is a loser who can't score points, Fajardo is a loser who can't score points, but at least Evans has demonstrated he can win (2 consecutive GC appearances) and can score so long as he has a decent lineup around him. Everyone was ragging on Evans play last year, but it really wasn't so bad. The first few games he had a TERRIBLE OL, and then when the TiCats fixed that up their defence went to crap. Over the last 2/3 of the season the Ticats were scoring points though and finishing drives. Some bad interceptions last year by Evans for sure, but a lot of those were chucked in garbage time too when he was trying to force the ball downfield because the time clock said he had to do so. At the very least Evans, and Harris are about the same calibre of QB with similar styles. Evans has upside, Harris is who he is.

Evans imo needs some time behind a guy like collaros. Low expectations, no pressure, just let him hard reset his brain and confidence. He has the talent and he can play very well. It’s just one of the risks of skipping a young guy far a head so quickly. BigBlueFanatic and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. Lost in everything is that he really is a young QB. He's done a lot at his age already so it is tough to view him as such, but I think he would have been the Riders best bet at potentially securing a franchise guy. Harris is old, and will be lucky if he survives the season behind their OL. 4 minutes ago, Bubba Zanetti said: Yeah but where is he going to find that in Sask?

Evans is far and away the better option. Faj is a complete and total mess. Even at his best he was MAYBE a 3rd string guy. Now he's beat up and has nothing left physically. I wouldn't want that anywhere near a lockerroom where he can make everything about himself. Evans is young, and while his brain is wonky, he's got time to fix it. I think he'd be a WAY better teammate than the Faj. Evans and Maier in Calgary would be quite the combo, I think.... Evans works better in that 1a/1b situation....
