Guys, keep politics out of the thread.  
We’ve been so good for so long, please continue to abide by Rich’s wishes and forum rules.
I’ve pruned a few posts to get us back on track.

I don't see why Willie Jefferson wouldn't be the 8th as a naturalized.  Him or Bryant.

Nobody looked good in the return dept. last year ...We need to stop screwing around with the returner position...Why the hell we ever parted ways with Grant still boggles my mind....Whitehead showed **** all last year and there was literally nobody behind him...Preseason better show we've turned up a decent prospect OR Case shows he belongs...Tired of watching a  guy field a punt and literally fall down...disheartening to say the least ...We can't give up field position continually and be successful.....Here's hopin we 'find' OR have found the guy

Ah training camp, the time of the year where we see a bunch of exciting stuff from some promising rookies, only to see them released in favour of aging slugs.
Seriously though, excited for the season to start. 

has to take them when they are there...and/or if defence is cheating up....If he is allowed to run a diversified spread style offence...non-telegraphed play action/RPO stuff and moves the pocket to give threat of taking off...he will be just fine taking whats there and things will open up....Why Buck never did that was beyond me

If game 1 drive 1 starts with strev in an empty back set followed by him running QB power for 1 yard, it's gonna be a long season. If he drops back to pass with a deep route as much as he runs, it's gonna be a gooder. 

The silver lining of the suspension - is that it forces the club to put the other QBs into a game, which is vital for the future.

Zach suspended for the first game is perfect. Now his complete collapse at the end of the season will be delayed by one week! That means he'll dominate the Grey Cup and then crumble at the parade. He'll cut his thumb shotgunning beers, fumble the cup, fall off the back of the truck.

what absolute BS.

I agree - Buck really, really miss-used Strev - and he deserves a chance in camp to secure a spot.

Elgersma if he does attend camp wouldn't cost a roster spot.  I agree there's a limit to how many qb's make sense for training camp but the value I see to having someone like Patterson there even if he's hard pressed to make the team is that when injuries happen later in the season its nice to have a couple of experienced QB's out there who can come in and help the team quickly if need be because they are already familiar with what you're doing.

U think thats how it works?...Then he gets labeled a bad actor...same reason why u never heard a player(s) publicly speak out against not getting dline reps in lieu of inferior teamates....thats a ticket out the door especially with a coach who is loyal to his fav's to a fault
Strev did that inquiring you mentioned tho before he signed this off-season...And I know as 100 percent certainty that if he didnt get the assurance and commitment that he is gonna be able to compete as a actual QB he wasnt signing here
Dru Brown also wasn't sho horned into what they made Strev do...Flip the roles around...and you would all be asking...who's Dru Brown??....Yet Strev even with all the misuse...and abuse...is still relevant...Dru Brown had an alright season in Ottawa...not earth shattering by any means and looked better here than he did there...was he a benefactor of his environment...guess we shall see how he does in 2025...same with Strev if afforded the chance to play QB like he was promised
Yeah I think both were insurance with not knowing if Strev be ready....that being said if they keep one...I think Dolegala wou;d have been the better one to keep tho...
 
Buck didnt know how to use half his assets...One the bigger signings is Jarius...even tho not the O.C he definitely knows how to utilize players, and am sure he will have a big input in the playbook and game day offensive quality control...and I bet we see lotsa Logan....and Demski back to being more diversified...Can see Clercius being an important piece too

You can't gain anything from that observation based on what we gave him to work with...scheme...and not running anything in practice in that BB...
Lots of games last yr as well ZC accomplished nothing other than giving ball away...and that was an offence tailored to him...and taking all the reps
Drew brown looked like hot garbage a lot in the beginning but was allowed to grow as an actual QB..Strev was never afforded that here...ever
Cherry picking one game when have no clue whatsoever of what all the circumstances involved were proves nothing..and was pretty obvious all yr..last 2 really that we couldn't make any adjustments on the fly or in game for the most part it our life depended on it...or how to best use our personelle 
He was only a SY specialist here in his late part of first tenure and the idiotic role we had him play last yr...if Brown was all that and a sac of plums he'd have been on a 4 yr nfl journey ...was he? 
 
Strev was failed by Bomber coaching...plain and simple...almost ruined
Getting looks...or no looks in NFL at times is an odd experience.. some is political..some is black listed...some is just pass the visual "appeaeance" Lenius..KSB and that wr from last yr wave and say hi
If a QB gets significant preseason play..gets on roster and in actual games...and bounces around for 4 yrs...there is a reason for it...especially a CFL detector as sadly they are victims of politics and bias' moreso than any other positional player who was in Canada first...

Very happy for the Viebert pick!

Just my perspective but we could be transitioning to being a team that generally starts 3 american offensive lineman. The amount of money canadian offensive lineman are getting paid it outrageous in free agency. Desjarlais and Dobson come to mind. And Canadian offensive linemen tend do prefer to return home and play in Ontario. Perhaps we're better off starting a stud American guard for sub 100k and draft more canadians with starting ability elsewhere.  Also this seemed like a weak draft for OL.

Very happy for the Viebert pick!

Although, I would have picked Pyle instead.

c'mon Pyle

c'mon Pyle

It is pretty funny the panel talking their crappy picks. Piling on Lapo for drafting Jade Etiene haha 
Barker saying he got fired for trading for Drew Willy

Tachinski lol then we convert him to lber! 

I’d love to see us take Pyle 

Phew we drafted a LBer in round 5.  Thought we weren't going to be able to grab any LBs
