Sometimes a coach can show all the patience in the world but it doesn't make a difference. I think if you're an American qb, you either get it or you don't. wbbfan and Booch 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Bomber QB goes down they can always pick up a temp. like Arbuckle or Cornelius hot off the couch. Barriere may suddenly develop a mysterious but lingering ailment. Its been known to happen. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is doing the same level of work... Some just catch on quicker than others. IC Khari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Barriere had been here more than 10 days I'd really consider him a bust. Right now I'd love to see the guy get until the end of camp and maybe some PR time before deciding he doesn't get it. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might but if he’s on the ir the can’t practice and I don’t think can be in film/meetings.

17to85 Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 And really both ints that the guy threw were identical. Right to a player he obviously didn't account for. That's learning the game with an extra body. wbbfan and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stylistically he reminds me a bit of ZC, but scrambles a bit like Reilly. Jury is absolutely out on him, he could be the next Mike Reilly, or the next Nick Arbuckle. wbbfan, Booch and TBURGESS 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Brown lights it up all year in every game except against us. Then we crush Ottawa in the Grey Cup, and see them driven before us, while we listen to the lamentations of their media...

I wish Brown well but I think he may turn into this year's Nick Arbuckle. Ottawa is desprate for a legit CFL starting qb. They'll throw money to any player tnhey think can become one.

Maybe I'm wrong?? I mean mbt came back, ancestral spirits and all. But yeah brown is the only blue chip in league next guy we’ve seen in a while. Last couple flopped hard. Personally, I’d go heavy sets with a really good running qb and pound with some option and simple passing package. Play some bully football. Wils and macs are smaller than ever. Athletic big tes are more available than ever and don’t have a real market value up here. Run 21 and 22 form sets and make a bunch of 200 lbs guys try to get off the blocks of 250+ lbs guys.

Ottawa also has amassed quite a bit of talent around the qb and could be a force in a weak East division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
