wbbfan Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Brady is on track for almost 2k Demski is on track for almost 1200 combined Willy is on track to flirt with the first ever 20 sack 20 knock down season. Guarantee two of those guys are finalists if they stay close to on track. GCJenks, Tracker, JCon and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have a legit QB...they could be all right in all honesty, so really they not that far off....get rid of a few of those aging vets who aren't gonna do anything for their future....free up some coin to get some in their prime and it's a huge upgrade there. I say end of season if we know Brown is gonna look for a starter gig...we trade his and his rights to the Elks for something we need...Hello Ceresna and a pick...we know Zack is starting here until 2025 anyway, so unlikely Brown is gonna wait that out, and we can't pay him starter cash to stay and basically hamstring us elsewhere on the roster.....such is life but sometimes u just gotta do what u gotta do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think he could be a good one for them. That'll dictate how much interest they have in dealing for a QB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Tre Ford is awful. QB's need that ability to hit a window 8-10-15-20 yards downfield on time. He can't do anything with his arm but heave deep balls and throw screens. Even the screens if the Bombers didn't take the bait likely go nowhere. Tre Ford is Canadian Tebow IMO.

Can you have a coach/player? I mean have x count towards player cap and y count towards coach cap?

Trade with him once and like a junkie he'll come back for more. I'm not trading anyone or anything for draft picks.

Ideally for us is he plays for us right to the moment where now he will be a detriment to us, knows it’s time to pack it in regardless of other teams interest and shifts nicely into coaching or whatever makes him happy.

Booch Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 I think he hangs em up after 2025... especially if we win...but...if he still performing at a high level and not dealing with injury after injury...and we have strung a few together after 2025...why would he...and why would we move on?

Only way it would happen is if we repeat 2019. Zach is injured to the point where he will never be the same and Dru takes us to a Grey Cup win. The most likely scenario this year is Zach comes back in short order, takes us to a Grey Cup win, and Dru moves onto a new team next season (Perhaps with Buck as his head coach) - hopefully to great success. I know I'll be cheering for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also need to point out that he is playing behind the best o line with the best rb and best set of receivers in the league. I'd only get rid of ZC if he gets so banged up that he becomes a liability or a shell of his former self like the last season we had Khari or the last two years of Matt Nichols.

Until Maier McCheese, when was the last time they had a mediocre starting QB? Since the early 90's they''ve only had to suffer through Drew Tate and Marcus Crandell for a bit.

Typical rookie qb. Thinks with his legs & runs. He got lucky on some of his deep throws & the dumb 11 man blitz leaving Houston iso'd on the Elks receiver.
