    I still think with a different OC, Streveler could be a top tier QB in this league.

    I don't get this argument as people flip flop and waver...some say "look how many play-off wins he has"...not looking at the craptcular defensive performance in the losses and it's all on him...other side say he won one..and only cause the defense....some say he was reason we won. Last 4 years has the best winning percentage save for BLM...But it's all because the defense many will say....yet even though he has been top of league those years in offensive points produced (excluding ST and Defensive scores) as well as being T.O.P winner in games more times than not ...how does the defense factor in with that? Many forget for a good portion of those wins, he had to put up 30+ points to get those wins as the "defense" was giving up 30+ a game...a lot! And many a game was lost when we scored 30+ points..I guess that because Nichols sucks and we can't win with him but in spite of him?? Many be,oan that we stalled and had to settle for a FG...well those 3 points each time count, and are a reullt of the QB getting the team in a position to score them...and the wins that resulted came because the opponent's QB failed to do so...Again I guess it's all on the defense for those wins eh? You can twist and contort stats..wins..losses...whatever you wish all you want but fact of tha matter since 2016 ol Matt Nichols..Game Manager has managed to get us the most wins of any team next to CGY and last time I checked it was a team game and a team is only as good as it's collective parts... Reilly and BLM are obviously top tier but their grip there isn't iron clad...Next tier has to be fancy Stats Harris, Nichols, Masoli and Collaros..similar results will be achieved in different ways...pick your poison I guess in how you want to achieve them, tho not sold 100 percent on Collaros "health" yet and think we dodged a bullet and kept him clean...hopefully I am wrong, but concussion problems don't go away after time..once your in that dance, you never leave it and why I would steer away from him. Evan's isn't in the next tier yet..as was super evident in the Grey Cup but has upside, tho needs an attitude makeover to get there..wouldn't want that pouter as my field general..when going got tough..he checked out Arbuckle and Strev are at the cusp and both guys who teams should be priority signing and grooming, as they will be a teams future...they just need to marinade a bit more before being the defacto starter, and I think Adams is there now, and ready to be lumped in the top...he's paid his dues...been around and is finally in a good spot...for him The rest are just a middling group of you get what you see...you'll get a game here or there to make you go "wow" but for most part are what they are and that's it...back-up's and emergency starter but not a guy to hitch your wagon to

    First time in 29 years where the off season is a not a time to be bemoaning a missed Grey Cup- how sweet it is. Figured we can park all Blue Bomber going ons for this off-season here in this thread. Starting with this: Let's get this guy Locked up for the foreseeable future...

    Well, nice to see that the Grey Cup win has stopped the 29 years of pent up over-reactionary bickering around here. I'm not a mod, but if I were this thread would have been locked pages ago for all the pointless back and forth. So I'll just keep my opinions about the merits of the QBs (well known to most I'm sure) to myself at this time and offer a few quotes that either side of the debate can throw out if they feel the need to bash the other side for their counter-opinion. 1. "There are lies, there are damn lies, and then there are statistics" - Mark Twain 2. "Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are much more pliable" - Mark Twain 3. "No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot" - Mark Twain 4. "Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience" - Mark Twain

    Yeah a guy like Sayles..Bailey and Lawler on a entry level deal..and a guy say like Kyrie Wilson who prob wasnt making a lot basically got a 1/3 or possibly a bit more of his total salary in that 3 weeks..for a team to say to a free agent/prospect that guys in 2019 made an additional 23k in bonus money from.being successful goes a long way

    Collaros plays a different game than Matt..he actually sucks at the check down and short pass..look how many times he missed Harris in his starts..and other short ones too..and ones he made were not pretty..he's more an intermediate to long passer Even is Sask his short game sucked Matt can make those throws too..when asked to but wasnt alot because we were very successful in the short game..and it allowed us to control the ball and clock.. so why deviate But...we deviated with Zack because we game planned to his strengths.. and it worked out..If Matt hadnt got hurt we woulda hosted WF...and won...and we also woulda won the cup as Hamilton had no answer to our defense..and Nichols/Strev combo with Harris in beast mode would have scored the same..if not more

    I would hope we can extend Jefferson..Bryant..Hardrick..Rose..Sayles..Nevis..Woli and one of Neuf and Couture prior to official free agency...or right at beginning if/when they wanted to just see what market was....a scenario I likely see happening...that would be a successful off-season in regards to our own guys.....the others if any can be re-upped is gravy, but we may already have in house guys thee to step in, or are looking at a specific free-agent from elsewhere As for QB...we need to lock up Strev and whoever the vet is (Matt..Zack) either or will do us just fine while Strev develops. A pretty doable and realistic free-agency if you ask me

    As Grey Cup Champions, I would expect that them to lock up their Grey Cup Champion Coaches. I bet Grey Cup winning Head Coach, MOS, has already agreed and Grey Cup Champion President & CEO, Miller, is working on extending Grey Cup Champion General Manager, Walters.

    Hey guys - just returned to Base camp after spending the last two weeks climbing Everest. My Sherpa just handed me his phone and I haven't had time to look at the results yet, but I just wanted to say that it was another great effort this year, good to see the guys fight, and I know while we came up short yet again, I believe in the team, in O'Shea, Lapo, Hall etc. and I think all the ingredients are there, and if Kyle can have another great draft we're definitely going to be in the fight again and have a chance next year to end the drought etc.....wait what's that Lapsang??? Hold on, he's trying to tell me something.... What??? We won???? We won????????????? Ok, I'm just going to need a moment.... Time to get back to Canada!

    Honestly, who our OC is next year will dictate what our offense will look like more than anything. I believe that with Lapo as OC, our offense will look exactly the same next year whether it's Nichols or Collaros.

    based on their career they both throw a pick in 2.5% of their pass attempts....so they throw the same amount of pics Whereas Nichols throws a TD in 4.6%and Collaros does in 4.5% of his passes...DO the stats say then that Matt is better then..because if the numbers were flipped I sure people would say the same

    For the record, saying the Bombers would be better off moving on from Nichols =\= Nichols is a bad teammate. I actually believe he provided value to Collaros and Streveler as part of the QB room. It’s more like he’s a declining asset coming off a major injury with a number of younger, cheaper and likely better options available this offseason. Don’t confuse the two.

    The whole team was more pumped with Collaros/Streveler as the QB's .....you could tell they weren't going to give up with Big Chris running over people all over the place....., and you could tell the receivers were running harder knowing that Collaros could extend plays longer than Nichols, thus giving them all more opportunities for a reception.

    Jesus christ, all this bellyaching. Goalie has mentioned it but most seem to have forgotten. The Offense didnt win **** all. That playoff drive had basically nothing to do with the QB. You want to go through numbers. Go take a look see at the amount of points given up by Willie and company. That was and will forever be the deciding factor in the playoffs. Collaros, Nichols, Streveler....hell I could've been taking the snaps and they would have still won. I'm also disappointed in people who are comparing regular season games to playoff games. They're different beasts all together and comparing them is useless.

    For Reilly to be that high surely you must be basing it off his pedigree over the last few seasons, in which I’d certainly rank Nichols above the likes of Adams, Fajardo, possibly Collaros and even Dane Evans—who looked terrified and whiny in the Big game, lost all composure.

    The fact that MOS has managed four straight seasons of double digit wins in a ruthless West Division without a star QB says a lot about the team and culture he has built here. You can feel the difference in attitude and approach all over the place. There is always an urgency to win the next play, but they aren't looking past that or stuck in bullshit pissing contests like some of the players/units on Hamilton and Sask are.
