I think that was a failed attempt at bashing Walters for signing Keeping....who I'm not sure ever actually played a down for us. Either way our Centre held his own very well.

This is funny too.... from @sskroughriders GM Chris Jones on report of working out Manziel: "No one from our club worked him out. We're considering legal action." — gary lawless (@garylawless) February 9, 2017

spoke to @sskroughriders GM Chris Jones about reports Riders worked out Manziel: "Of course not. He's on Hamilton's neg list." @cfl #cfl — gary lawless (@garylawless) February 9, 2017

the 3rd down nation link no longer works...I'm thinking they may have jumped the gun on that report. Hope it's true though!

I just watched that game a few days ago. Beauty catch.

I love that we have the week one bye. Simply because they get to watch the riders play week one and then prepare for them. And the riders will still be watching tape from last year on the bombers.

I'm not ignoring their careers. In fact one of the reasons I don't want to compare them is because of the lack of careers on both sides. I don't understand how you don't see what I'm saying. You can't honestly compare these two in any meaningful way at all using stats. Only opinion. In my opinion, Davis would have a very very slight edge, as he's currently has a better understand of the BB play book. That's right now at this exact moment Feb 7th at 10:38am. That would change slightly during TC if both were there. And you should know that mediocre stats don't mean jack when switching teams. There are plenty of examples both ways, where a QB looked decent in one system and like totally shit in another and vise versa. So again, Cato's very slight advantage in experience doesn't mean a whole lot when he's going to be playing in a new system. You don't want an inexperienced back up. Ok that's fine. But Cato hasn't shown anything to immediately make him #2 here. He's legit had what 2 good games? He's played a hand full of starts. How is he experienced? He's not as green as Davis, but he certainly has a lot of green left on him.

No I'm saying there's no way to tell which is better at this time, and comparing their stats total is useless when you consider the situation both were in. I'd be fine with comparing Levour and Cato, or Tate and Cato. There's some things there to actually compare. But on these two specific QB due to the way their clubs have operated, comparing stats isn't a fair evaluation...so there is no way to actually tell who is better. If I had to give an edge, I'd give it to Davis due to his familiarity with the BB system...but even then it wouldn't be a very big edge.

While you're comparison is obviously flawed, you're point is correct. Having more playing time while being on two separate teams, means exactly nothing. Had they both been on the same team, that would actually show the difference in how they've understood the game. But Davis was "unlucky" enough to be behind two "vets" in this system. One young and lots of upside in Willy. And the other a known commodity brought in for the Back up role while Davis was still learning. Had it been a depth chart of Willy, Davis, Cato or Cato, Davis. Then you could compare them. But Cato was behind the perpetual interception thrower of KG and benefited from some injuries. That's why he was playing. He didn't beat anyone out in camp. And as soon as teams figured him out (after his first game) they were able to shut him down. I don't understand how that makes him obviously better. I'm not saying he isn't, I'm just saying there's no tangible way to tell at this point. EDIT : Come on Tburg, you're not seriously going to use College stats as a reasonable reason why someone will be a better pro player than another....that's some weak sauce, even for you.

I really wish people would stop talking about the rod, and start treating him like the twitter troll that he is. As in ignore ignore ignore.

If I remember correctly, didn't he completely blow his knee up? I would totally bet against him returning to form.

Was also his first year. Teams had a full year of tape on him in 2016. I still tend to agree with you, but as a first year player you have an opportunity to show somethings early and other things later that can lead to success. In his second year, most if not all of his tricks/skills etc etc where out of the bag and tackles knew what they were getting.

oh right...totally am.

Didn't he start that game at CGY in the snow?

Davis also started a won a game against a team that wasn't forced to play their 3rd string QB lol.

Thought I read he was working out down south for a team.

"Name the last team to win a championship without a top level QB leading the way" ******....Marcus....*******.....Crandell....motherffukcsoijsmdamlsalfks

I don't think Davis resigns with us if he wasn't told he'd be #2 going into camp. He's been here what 3 years now? I don't think the Bombers will be signing any vet QB's until they have too...ie Nichols goes down for an extended period.

Bombers have signed Kenny Stafford....

This, and even if they did I don't see Nichols wanting to play for Jones

No Carter hasn't signed anywhere. There was a story released earlier this week that Kavis had spoken to him though as apparently the two of them have a good relationship

Does Glenn go Green again?

Didn't we already go over this in another thread?

That's amazing! Keep em going Jones!!!!

I think the CFL or TSN or something did a special on him. Really interesting story.
