August 22, 20186 yr comment_349571 Duron was released from Montreal and Saskatchewan......two teams with what I read a lot about here....have krappy management. Maybe with good management he works out, or it's his last last last chance ever.

August 22, 20186 yr comment_349594 I think one of his college QB's is on video saying any NFL team would be making the greatest mistake ever if they drafted him.

Hmmm.... a coach who has won the Grey Cup in his last 3 seasons in the CFL had no issues sitting down an underperforming QB in lieu of a complete CFL rookie. I didn't think anyone did that....😲

Depending how the season plays out, Nichols will be in a battle in training camp. A tough decision will be coming Edited August 22, 20186 yr by Ripper

A tough decision will coming shouldn't be a tough decision if this level of play continues.... our highest paid player can't be performing at a mediocre level if we're going to be a contender. Maybe we need to get Mike Kelly back in here for a midseason contract re-structuring discussion? still can't believe that ever happened!

And let’s remember that this regime has been there before. Not too long ago Winnipeg was “Willypeg”. They’re loyal, but not stupid (maybe about WR’s ...) I trust they see what we do - Nichols is good, not elite; and Streveler could be something special. My only fear is Streveler gets an NFL look in the next year or two.
August 22, 20186 yr comment_349627 And what if Streveler doesn't take that next step? Then what? Let's not make a change until streveler has shown he is clearly better, which ha hasn't yet.

And at some point soon management has to decide whether it’s worth paying $400K plus per year for the sixth best starting QB in the league, or roll the dice on $200K or so for Streveler, who might end up being better.
August 22, 20186 yr comment_349630 Nichols has injuries in his past, streveler will get his playing time.
August 22, 20186 yr comment_349631 IMO Strevelr looked better just based on the games he started for us this year. Yes be loyal to Matt for a bit...... but it's almost time to give Streveler some meaningful reps when Matt isn't moving the offence efficiently enough. Especially when losing by three scores or more...... QB controversy be damned ! We want a cup now ! Go Bombers

I would rather Streveler gets to play when Matt isn't doing well....maybe light a fire under matts butt. If you are insinuating Streveler will get to play once Matty is hurt again, well that seems like an odd way to go about it.

Do you come from an alternate universe? You should go back there as the Cleveland Browns have just won their 4th straight Super Bowl.
August 22, 20186 yr comment_349637 Let us not forget that streveler last start was that ugly loss in Hamilton. People are too reactionary here.

August 22, 20186 yr comment_349648 Streveler gives the fans a sense of hope for a Grey Cup win as much as what Matt does at this point. Edited August 22, 20186 yr by NorthernSkunk Forgot two words

Ahem ... this is a public service announcement from the voice of reason regarding other quarterback "changes" we have made in the last decade: 2008 - Kevin Glenn / Ryan Dinwiddie 2009 - Michael Bishop / Stefan LeFors 2010 - 2012 - Steven Jyles / Joey Elliot / Alex Brink / Buck Pierce 2013 - Max Hall / Justin Goltz 2014 - Drew Willy / Brian Brohm 2015 - Robert Marve / Dominique Davis / Matt Nichols I've highlighted quarterbacks that have actually done something relevant (at least when they played with us) in bold. Grass isn't always greener on the other side ladies and gentlemen.

Matt is our hope right now, these next two games are gonna be huge for fans to start wondering if the grass might be greener this time....

Don’t include me as one of the fans that have a sense of hope with Steveler. Do you honestly expect that Streveler will win a Grey Cup before the venerable BLM?
