I think you only have to look as far as what happened in Ottawa this year when both designated QB's were injured and a non designated QB came in to play. Pretty sure this ends the argument.

Sometimes the best playbook is the one drawn up in the sand. It would be a defensive nightmare to scheme for the possibilities of that with an athletic quarterback like Strevler. The only good defense would be to go blitz crazy and with someone as mobile as Strev that strategy could even burn a defense big time.

There is talk in Saskatchewan about going after Strev if he clears NFL waivers. Harker got nicked last game. Also McGuire hurt his groin in practice last week and who knows if he will be healthy enough for those short yardage plays by the final. I’d sure enough rather want to have Strevler under center, even if he wasn’t able to grasp the new playbook than Dru Brown for a backup role in the WF.

Im Lit, Youre Lit!!!!!!!! Lets Get This Done!!!!!!

That would be epic!!!!!!

I think both teams will be keeping things simple today. It's going to be mostly basic football with a lot of players subbing in that normally wouldn't. This is going to be a great tune up for the games that count.

There were a lot of things going on that made McGuire look worse than he might in a game that would have some meaning. The play calling and game plan would have been way different if this game was a WSF and McGuire was playing. Cooper worked his way out of town with his performance on specials that cost at least an 8 point swing and tons of field position. Just having even McKnight in there who at least secures the ball would have made a big difference in the field position battle. Then the play calling can be more controlled and McGuire is not made to force things. Even though he avoided sacks McGuire was hurried lots and often throwing off his back foot into eight man coverages many times. So I wouldn’t give up on him yet.

When it's put that way, Collaros and Stanback would be a lot closer. Nobody else should be in contention.

After watching the Packers go down this afternoon, I’m now convinced of the value of a great quarterback even with all stars all around him. For sure Collaros has to be this years MVP no one else is even close.

Lions have a new kicker though!

Lets just win the cup first. One game at a time. After that it will all work out. Don't sweat the small stuff!

George Reed, Terry Evanshan, Russ Jackson, Hugh Campbell, Gene Gaines, Tony Gabriel

Cats are not even that good. Elks mistakes making them look like champs

Elks are a tire fire!

One man that makes the most , if he got it together this becomes a game

I'll say it again, Derel Walker looks like crap

Derel Walker looks like crap

Should move all the paid lower when it's this sparce , better looking and the cheap seaters really appreciate it

There are a lot of empty seats in Edmonton tonight

Must be a slow day at the office when I read the last page of a game day thread and all there is is a fashion discussion

I think Taylor probably retires after this year, way on the wrong side of 30, but he has earned every right to stay on the roster and at worst rotate out a bit. That's more than likely the move unless someone gets hurt the next three games. Rose will be on the roster for sure also.

I think Reinbold was the GM or at least was given the keys to everything. Was all show but no go. He was one of those who makes a good impression but can't follow through. I'll take a Mike O'shea type, quiet, not craving attention, gives others the credit, and very humble, any day.

I unfrickin believable !

I don’t care what you say , Reilly’s a warrior, that man is hurtin

Swervin Mervin was a great player but didn't get the same reaction that Peanut Butter Kapp did back in the day. Kapp drove people to the stadiums of opposing teams just for their hate of his arrogance. He was a showman for sure that is somewhat lacking in some respects today.
