The state of CFL QBing. 😭

Barring an absolute collapse we are going to host a playoff game this year. The only question is which one.

One of the things the producers need to work with Lapo on is ending so many statements with "....right...?" It's a bad crutch that he needs to be broken of. It's really bad.

hey if we've learned anything from Lapo it's that he won't change and will remain flawed. 

Lapo's pretty good... RIGHT. He has an interesting take... RIGHT. He knows what he's talking about... RIGHT. It's incredibly annoying to hear right at the end of each sentence... RIGHT.

I'd say nerves.

I didn't watch the game tonight, but when LaPo joined the game a few weeks back with Forde and whoever for a few series.     He was absolutely awful and incredibly uncomfortable doing the color.  He was also quiet and kind of monotone and boring.   Towards the end it was less awkward but for the first 80% he was bad.    Hopefully it's all nerves and after getting comfortable he does better.   What he wants to say is quality,  his delivery was just really bad.   

 

Lapo was very good tonight. He will get better. Definitely his niche.

The Stamps are in trouble …

I would listen to Lapo over Suits any game.

Dicky threatened changes would come...well that didn't work I guess he will make changes 

Funny that Faj is a top QB in the East...I mean Kelly is running away with the top for now, but who would thought that

Makes decent reads and delivers, but serves up a terrible throw about 1 out of 4. With a lesser receiving corps, he would have more incompletions. Begelton made some superb grabs.

Yup...Lapo once he polishes it up...goes over the film on his first time doing it...will get better....he explained things well...what players/coaches see, and how they try...or should try to attack was really good and easy for even the new fan to grasp...as opposed to Suitors ramblings...incorrect info....totally wrong explanations and almost zero worthwhile insight....I think Lapo may have found his true calling now...he should stick with it

as for the bolded part...the dumber...slightly less hate-able brother made change threats last yr too...I think with the discipline issues and then reneged on it...lets see what younger whiny bro does....the shots of him on the sidelines all cranky/confused and irritated was just glorious tho haha

Somewhat enjoyed watching receivers make chicken salad out of chicken excrement.

Definitely enjoyed LaPo in the booth. Nice to hear some insights on what teams are doing vs. whatever random crap comes from Suitor. 

Man FAJ and Maier looked bad.

The best thing about Lapo is he is probably going to be watching just as much film every week prepping for his calls as he did as a coach.

Most likely...as opposed to whatever Suitor does to prep......

Well if it's a Rider game he's prepping for...

 

Working for TSN can’t be Lapo’s dream job. 

money wise, has to be a significant drop in pay from coordinator or head coach.

plus, he probably really enjoys coaching.  Maybe.

I know you dislike him but Lapo, or anyone else from outside the big rectangle, going there instantly raises the province's collective IQ by 6 points.
