Also, all that game manager stuff that people hang on Nichols is unfair because his OC was always Lapo, and Lapo would turn Doug Flutie into a game manager if he got the chance.

When given the chance, he could definitely pitch...

College numbers: 12,616 passing yards (6th in NCAA history) and 96 touchdowns over 47 games

He was a game manager when his arm was shot in his last few years with the club. Purely because he was unable to throw a 15+ yard pass. His first two years with us he was a gunslinger and was able to take chances. Truly unfortunate that his injuries derailed him.

His arm wasn't shot until he went to Ottawa. He could still make all the throws in 2019 when he last played for us.

Yeah but i think the last game he played with us he got sacked ( DE landed full on him from the side) and that was the final straw for him..

Yeah, he got injured in 2019, hence bringing in Zach and re-signing him as opposed to Nichols.

Idk, wasn't his last game played here when he got booed off the field at home and whined about it in the interview after? I think that stuff impacted Nichols more than most qbs, but his wife did do a great job of helping him try to spin it.

Not his last game - that was in 2018 after getting smoked by Ottawa. He tried spinning it by saying it was a heat of the moment thing and that he was over it 10 minutes later & also said it wasn't the first time and wouldn't be the last time he got booed, .but yeah he definitely cared.

2019 was the game manager thing, with the hats, so by that point he was definitely leaning more into it than the year before. He had the club winning while not looking spectacular - a winning record goes a long way to help lessen the impact of criticism!

Shawn Lemon. We may have been able to win in 2019 with Nichols but who knows. That one sack completely turned the franchise around.

It did turn the QBing around for sure. Look at Nichols record and stats in 2019 before going down, he was in MOP discussion at that point.
