Is this ever a guy we should take a run at? I really like Pokey as a receiver but not sure he's a 1A Superstar guy... Would you ever take a run at Hatcher as your #1 and then have Pokey and Demski as 2/3?

 

 

Nobody left out there is really worth bringing in. Wilson at least has two years of practice reps and some starters reps... I'd just as soon go with him as "experience" over what's out there....

You'll be the first to complain if we lose a season because we threw a rookie to the wolves. I've seen teams do that & the backup is the most popular player in town with the fans until he plays & stinks,Then he isn't & gets pretty ugly. You want examples of teams that crapped out after their starter went down?? I can give you plenty. If you disagree, then let's talk. Come on, you can do better.

I’m just yanking your chain.

I agree with you.

It could be a lot of things. The system, coaching or just not fitting in. I'd still take my chances as a 1 year backup with the guy.

Fair comment. Seems like management wants to win now, so maybe they're looking in that direction.

Two years of LIMITED practice reps bouncing between 2nd & 3rd string with the knee injuries to Streveler the past 2 seasons. Wilson with a bit of game experience certainly didn't light it up when he did play. Artoepus one season of virtually no reps as the third & fourth stringer. The other 2 qbs have nver set foot on a CFL practice field let alone a game field. All of them behind Collaros could be cut & never missed. Yeah... okay. Great take said no one ever.

Artopeous is an interesting signing....He's been hanging around year after year but never really getting a shot at any kind of action....We don't hear about his practice time much....Is he some sort of secret weapon we're keeping under wraps?? I think we're either going to fish or cut bait with the guy in tc this year UNLESS the other qb we've signed this offseason,Perkins, turns out to be a bum.....Quarterbacking definitely has to be a high priority considering it's current state...We shall see in tc

the only experience wilson has is holding a clipboard and taking coffee orders. that’s the point. Plenty of value in bringing in a guy with actual experience like I listed. i’d be as inclined to not bring wilson back at all

I expect us to bring in a retread with experience. Retread vs. Perkins to be our #2 and SY guy.

The other 3 will compete for the chance to join the PR. I would not be surprised if one of Wilson and/or Artopeous didn't even make it to camp.

Live shot of me waiting for @SpeedFlex27 to react:

Speaking for myself....MBT has a fairly good arm and that's about it....His penchant for drifting into some 'other world' in his conversations is quite amusing ...The only trouble with that is he seems dead serious in that world...His latest about talking to former players who have left us, has an 'occult' ring to it...If he would just stick to football and the 'living,' he might be acceptable...otherwise I don't know how he would fit in here

I'm just gonna say that would be up to Osh. Other than that, if they think Bethell-Thompson can still play then sign him. If not, find somebody else. We need a veteran. Someone who gives us a chance if Collaros goes down.

He's been hanging around year.
