TrueBlue Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 This is indeed a good move. He's the best backup we've had around here for sometime now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

do or die Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Sage move. Say what you want about the guy....but he is far and away better than any of our "recruits" lately. Which, of course is a root problem round these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voodoochylde Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Happy to see Walters locking down a serviceable backup and a guy who has won a few games in the CFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBURGESS Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hopefully this contract was done last year so the bonus is in the 2015 SMS. Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Solid. Gives us a nice 1 2 and basically is the end of Brohm. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Sucks Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Good job Kyle. Getting this done before FA starts is a nice bonus too. Now on to the next hole to fill. Edited January 5, 2016 by Westy Sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickem Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 A great insurance signing that we definitely need, considering our plight over the last two years..We know Nichols can get it done if called upon and although not spectacular he is more than competent...One year deal works for me.

Atomic Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Good signing, glad to hear it. Better QB depth than we've had since KJ/Glenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Bringing back Nichols is a good move. I'm not his biggest fan but he is a viable option coming off the bench. Also has enough experience to start a few games if need be. Rookies sometimes do ok off the bench but struggle when they have to become a emergency starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Wow, this forum is woefully over-estimating Matt Nichols... If this signing is under the 2015 cap and a very modest amount, I'm fine with it... if it means Walters is signalling that he's not shopping for another backup then we're in for another long season.

bustamente Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Praying already that Willy doesn't get hurt next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Good move. Gives us a quality backup QB. Think of it this way, would you rather be the Riders with Brett Smith? Hamilton with Matthews? Montreal with no real starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline_x Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 He almost did as much as willy with the same horrible offence and had us in games into the dying seconds. I'm not sure what else you can ask from a backup? Maybe if we could land a starting qb like Ray to be a backup here that would be awesome. But I don't see any other starters that are better willing to become a backup. Recruiting the the next starting star qb should still be on the pressing to do list, but the combo of will and Nichols should show a lot better with lapo then it did with Brohm and marve.

No, this is a good signing. Name me another qb who can backup Willy & be effective? A free agent qb from another team not coming here to be the starter that would have been a better signing than this? Don't say Harris as he would never sign here to be the backup.
