sweep the leg Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm glad we have a QB coach, but I'd have prefered one who is a little younger and who has some CFL experience. Just curious ... who did you have in mind? I didn't have anyone in particular in mind. I just assume there will be a CFL learning curve for Dahlquist and I wonder if a guy, who would be the players great grandfathers age, will be able to connect with our young QB's. Somebody needs to check the math on this one... iso_55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Look past his age, this is a great hire. Well at 71 I wouldn't want a coach to run the team, but for monitoring 3 guys I don't think the age is an issue. iso_55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 My son goes down to San Francisco a couple of times a year to work with a qb coach in the Bay Area named Roger Theder. He is the same age as Dahlquist & has been coaching for just as long. Roger is the former HC of the University of California at Berkley. Roger has worked with NFL qbs like Steve Bartkowski, has coached NCAA qbs in the past, up until last year he also worked in Atlanta for 2 months prepping players like RG 3, Brandon Wheedon & Russell Wilson for the NFL Combine. He coached Colin Kaepernick privately in the Bay Area when he was growing up & in an article I read recently he is credited from changing Kaepernick from a classic drop back stay in the pocket passer in high school to the style of qb he is now. Like Dahlquist, his resume is a who's who of qbs past & present in the NCAA & NFL. Roger is a man of high energy. Never stands in one place more than a few seconds, always moving around, talking, clapping his hands & critiquing throws. My son is 23 & he loves working with the guy. They get along great & the 50 years in age difference doesn't mean anything. He told me he gets more out of a 2 hour session with Roger than any other qb coach he's ever had before. That's why he keeps going back. Roger coaches qbs in the Bay Area 3 or 4 times a week year round. You'd never know he's in his 70's. I think working with young qbs helps to keep him young at heart. He is still passionate about football He gets everyone else around him fired up. That's why I'm not concerned about Dahlquist relating to our qbs. If they respect him & he is a good communicator, which I think he is, the age difference shouldn't mean too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan007 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I think most of us don't really care about his age. Our concern is if he's going to be good at coaching CFL QB's instead of the NCAA/NFL type QB's. I don't care who our QBC is, as long as he's good and can teach them some things to help them progress, I'm all for him. ...and as long as Boltus was just some fluke that he couldn't teach...I'm good.

holoman Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 We have an experienced qb coach. I think he will be fine. He's not an OC like Crowton was so it's all good. I think this says it best. He has experience with QBs and Marcel's system. He's not running running an offence just coaching young QBs within the system. iso_55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbill2004 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Friesen can't be serious, can he? @friesensunmedia: I agree 100%. Any QB coach is better than no QB coach. But wasn't someone like, say, Mike Kelly, available? #bombers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
