Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
Strev is perceived as having a weak arm only because of his throwing style...which is a bit unusual, but effective...He is a short armer...so to speak, and a wrist thrower...go watch Phillip Rivers tape...same style Just because you are unorthodox doesnt mean u are flawed, and he will prob also never wreck his shoulder throwing The day he first came up here..I was at Stadium...watched his workout after practice...went through the gambit of QB throws and nailed them all...and then when throwing to live recievers...was on the money, and could air it out more than fine Dude cant develop without consistent play time...but looks night and day ahead of where he was here, and even when he was here...it was only his 3rd and 4th yr as a full-time QB...People forget that...he was as raw as raw could be coming into 2019 pro camp...the fact he did what he did was amazing..4 points

yeah...Suitor is clueless and just babbles crap cause he has man crushes and wants it to be so KSB...Is a putrid receiver technical and route running wise...just bad...and doesnt have the where with all to make it as a TE or blocking guy down south..He was over rated and way over hyped up here with due to a few flashes...and cause he is a bigger bodied guy....You must have noticed all he basically did was hitches and screens...a few wheel route type things and eventually was worked out of back field...It's cause his receiving acumen is butt arsed bad...Prob even worse than Lenius, another over hyped guy with limited skills...but an NFL looking body... That Sorrels interview...guess he just wanted to "protect"??..his guys?...I dunno....but that was a bizzare, and odd interview...being turnstiles...bowled over....lacking strength....and a lot of times looking lost...is a talent thing...At this level, if that stuff is happening...well....u suck...plain and simple3 points

NFL politics..plain and some...there's nothing invested in him other than min salary ..and the fact he only played 2 season in NCAA as a QB...and up here..as much as people wanna dispute it..Lapo almost ruined him Yup..Lapo neutered him...and when u don't get to practice things in practice a QB should be...then expect in games for him to switch over from the stupidity Lapo had drawn up..well u get misfires2 points

1 pointYou know there's far more than being able to make all the throws to starting in the NFL. Can you give an example of his time here where he didn't have the arm strength to complete a pass? I can think of numerous deep passes he hit on the money. I find it hard to believe a guy who could make all the throws in the CFL, is suddenly unable to make all the throws on a smaller field.1 point- 2022/2023 Off-Season (League/Non-Bombers-specific News)

1 pointThat's the thing, it's not that I think Streveler is a super polished passer with no room for improvement.... but this idea that he can't make all the throws is just laughable. He's got enough arm to do everything on the field in addition to the ability to just flat out run over a defence too.1 point- Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news

1 pointChris Streveler is not nearly as bad as SpeedFlex makes him out to be, and not nearly as good as Wbbfan is suggesting imo. I think Strev is a guy with average arm strength, that lacks some touch and accuracy. I think Strev could be a solid but not spectacular number one QB in the CFL but is highly unlikely to ever break any passing records. That's his top end. His low end would be as a really good number two QB, and package QB that any CFL team would consider an upgrade. Strev needs to work on his passing to ever be elite in the CFL. Speedflex is right on that. He could be effective as is though and WBBfan is right about that. His passing needs work but he could get by with it given all the tools he has. For sure. Strev isn't an elite passer, I think that if you look around the CFL starting QBs few can be called that. I think he could be an upgrade to a number of teams.1 point- Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news

1 pointCalling Chris Streveler the second best CFL qb (if he played up here today) is a huge stretch. I know what he can & can't do as like all of you I've watched him for the past 5 seasons. His throwing isn't what kept him in the NFL & before that the CFL but his guile, athleticism & leadership abilities have. To say I have a hate on for the guy because I believe he has deficiencies throwing the ball is both ludicrous & unfair. He has always had quirky footwork which affects the rest of his throwing mechanics on his platform. He had a hard time feeling pressure in the pocket when he played for the Bombers so LaPo took away that problem. Used his running ability to work wonders making plays. One would hope his pocket awareness has improved with his time in the NFL but it's hard to tell with his lack of playing time down there. A good NFL qb today has to develop different arm slots. To be able to position his arm in different slots to throw over & around oncoming defenders in his face. I haven't seen that from him. He does have a high arm slot so he would be at a disadvantage over other NFL qbs in certain situations. Streveler can throw with authority when he has to & can hit a receiver within his catch radius but I haven't seen him make the accurate "small window only open for a few seconds" throws during his time in the NFL or with the Jets. It's hard to tell how much he's improved since 2019 as his playing time has been so limited. You mentioned his 61% completion average & I believe you. I think it's so because he has a set number of packaged plays that he can use in a game that suits his style of play. Historcally, that seems to be his story as a Bomber, Cardinal & Jet. However, if he had to use the entire playbook where would he be? He might be in trouble. He can't play the way Zach Collaros does for example. When Jets HC Robert Saleh said he put him in to provide a spark that's exactly what he was talking about. He wanted a change up. Like a relief pitcher in baseball, Streveler can be effective in that kind of a role. If he was destined to be a starter he'd be on a team somewhere now pushing the Number 1 qb for playing time but that isn't the case. Hell, if Saleh thought he could be a legit NFL starter don't you think he'd have elevated him already?? Saleh wants to win to keep his job. He sees Streveler throw everyday & it's obvious he doesn't believe he's a starter. Streveler is continually fighting just to be a number two guy on the qb depth chart & usually Number 3 on every NFL team he's been on. Sometimes even #4. And to be clear, just because I think Streveler has deficiencies throwing the ball doesn't mean I don't like him. I do as he's exciting to watch. Strev got his pension & good for him. That's awesome. However, the reality of the situation is that if he was a legit NFL starter or a serious #2 he'd have been one by now. He isn't. I admire what Streveler's done & hope that his career in the NFL continues. I just don't think he'll ever be a starter. But poor guy making $2 mill a year backing up some NFL hotshot.... What a life as he's still won the lottery, so to speak. Once again, he worked hard to get to the NFL & stay. I hope it continues. Not every pro qb can be a starter.1 point- Canadian Politics
