It'll be interesting to compare Winnipeg vs BC offenses this Thursday. It's no coincidence that the most dynamic offences in the CFL are run by scambler style QBs: Collaros, Mitchell, Lulay, Harris. Guys who can make plays with their feet as well as via the toss. It's exciting to watch. These teams: Calgary, Ham, BC and Argos also all are coached by ex-QBs. Meanwhile in Winnipeg, (where our coaching and management braintrust comes from the D side of the ball) we are plodding along with an offence designed around a pair of 3-step drop pocket passers in Willy and Brohm. Fans are calling for a more dynamic QB such as Robert Marve because our offensive structure, built around a limited style of QB, has basically failed. Now is the time to re-design the offence to accommodate more of a Bo-Levi or Collaros-Lulay type of QB so Marve can play a bit and give the fans some excitement. I say go for it now even if it means abandoning an offensive structure that's better suited for our #1 and #2 QBs. After all, this is the wide-open CFL. Why should we have to wait til next year and the inevitable changes that will come from another losing season, because Bomber brass were too stubborn to switch away from an old-school offence that's designed around a style of QB that's essentially ill-suited for the CFL?

No potatoes, no perogies. End of discussion.

That's not my Manitoba.....that's not even my Canada....

Holy smokes, I touched a nerve on that one! I've got Irish on one side and Mennonites on the other so it was potatoes 15 times a week for me. I guess I just passed the threshold early. I'll still eat perogies and hashbrowns now and again, but it's few and far between.

Also, my comparison was not to run down Glenn. He's fine, a solid QB, and the Bombers would've won in '07 if he was healthy, but he never got me confident and excited like Willy does now.
