And they looked like ass for most of it which was nice. They had a nothing major in the last 30 seconds, otherwise were useless most of the afternoon. I'll take it.

It's an exhibition game for crissakes. Losing/winning means nothing.

Bruce deserved more. That's an insult. But it's the best he's going to get.

Means nothing....but still nice to watch the RIders look like ass.

No amount of money is going to restore a quality of life to him.

It does but the Riders are the team to beat in the West until someone else does. Watch out for the Lions. That passing offense is going to be something.

Lions gotta be the team to beat.

No question. **** the riders. They lost a **** ton of talent. AJ Allen alone is going to kill their D.

Davis Alexander is already hurt again.

I sincerely believe he's 1a/1b with Rourke for beat QB in the league..... When healthy. But man that guy is like Dunigan... No luck at all

Dunigan had injury problems the longer his career went on. Not at the beginning. Mostly concussions.

With his career 16 TD over 4 seasons you are declaring him the best QB in the league with Rourke?

it's not exactly a high bar... I mean who else is in the conversation? The sex pest?

Yes. I’d also put him at 2.

I'd rank BLM, Vernon Adams & Trevor Harris over him easily at this point. Depends on how this season goes Dru Brown & ZC may also rank higher.

The sample size of Alexander is much too small at this point. Lots of potential... needs to prove it on the field for more then 2 - 3 games at a time.

I agree. I’m not a Bo Levi fan, but you have to show you’re capable of being successful over a full season before you can be ranked ahead of the proven all stars.

as much as the pest is..well a pest...He has to be in the convo of top 3 QB's in league. He been inactive for 2 yrs now so interesting to see what he has this yr when he is playing, but based on what we saw prior....and if he has actually matured and become a legit quality pro...in personality and demeanor....He likely is at the top this yr

Rourke is the best QB and it's not close... But if you watched the CFL at all last year, you know that Alexander is right behind him. All he does is win... (And get hurt, unfortunately...)

VAJ is summertime only

BLM is a rollercoaster

Harris is dink n dunk and has had one healthy season

Collaros TBD

Dru keeps getting hurt but CAN be lethal...

Kelly can get ******...

Faj is Faj... Weak armed and relies on Jesus sprinkles.

Alexander appears to be an injury waiting to happen....The guy obviously has a big problem and IF Montreal had any sense they'd be shoring up their qb. stable ...It's too bad they hadn't addressed this sooner, as there seems to be a lot of disgruntled fans in Mont., who are seriously questioning some of the teams moves...

That's a pretty spare list of good quarterbacks, and finding a backup who has the potential to grow into a starter is equally difficult. The mortality rate among QBs who come to the CFL and do not stick has to be upwards of 90%. Always has been and likely always will be. Maybe the answer is for the CFL to work with universities to help groom Canadian quarterbacks who have potential rather than ignore them or bury them on the PR until they age out.

Now that Rourke’s broken the glass veiling, we’ve seen Ford and Ermergerdsma. Things are moving.
