Booch Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 1 hour ago, Bombertown said: Parker was a projected starter at corner due to injuries. Holm was projected starter at half. We haven’t seen Parker on field in nearly a year against a real team so saying he’s better than holm who has improved immensely in the last year isn’t a possible comparison. 2023 holm is better than 2022 parker. I can remember parker having more than a bit to work on last season. No...Rose and Lawrence were projected corners...like Grey Cup...west final and last few games of yr Parker had 7 starts last yr...and more games overall compared to Holms 4....so not sure what u were watching to determine Parker hadn't played a "real" team in over a year..nice try tho And 2023 Parker is better than 2022 Parker too...Parker is also one best pure tacklers on team...and showed it a lot last yr...again...not sure what you were watching...also...do u not think other players have improved immensely?? Have you been to practice to watch? I have...also have talked with coaches in the spring and were looking forward to Parker's continuation...and he also played lights out in preseason until hurt....

Edit: my bad, I do believe he did rotate at halfback in preseason, but corner was likely going to be his spot due to rose injury. When I said a year, I mean he has not played a non preseason game on D since 2022, I still stand by that.

I wouldn’t have mentioned Holm’s name as a projected starter pre-preseason this year either. His rookie year was just ok. I could attach some articles of during preseason about holm…but I think those were shared enough 😂 The sun using Parker’s name in the same sentence as Alford and Nichols to me is so laughable. Parker is good for sure, but not legend like them omfg. MrFreakzilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCJenks Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Anyone heard from @kelownabomberfan today? He was concerned about ash falling this morning and more evacuation orders in West Kelowna by the hour it seems. Pictures I am being sent look pretty nasty, very fast growing fire.

Do I remember correctly, that the Bombers during Mike Kelly era actually had one game where all three of their QBs went down? I don't think so.... I remember a home game against Toronto where we played all three - LeFors, Bryan Randall, and Richie Williams. And they were all terrible, though that wasn't really their fault. Michael Bishop was signed shortly thereafter. Joe Mack era I recall we had a game where Pierce and Brink both got hurt and Joey Elliott had to play. Next game after that I believe they dressed Joey Elliott, Justin Goltz, and Zac Champion at QB as a result.

JuranBoldenRules Posted August 18, 2023 Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 Collaros should wear his jersey and a pair of golf shorts, sit in the front row behind the Bomber bench downing beer and crunching peanuts. rebusrankin, Bigblue204, Pepper_Brooks and 4 others 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted August 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2023 no, but there's no reason to believe it's false. It was the same situation with VAJ a couple weeks back. He didn't dress, but was listed as QB3, then when Evans got hurt, VAJ dressed at half time and came out to hold the clipboard the rest of the way. I expect similar for Collaros tonight.
