No love for Lefors or Bishop? 2009 was lit! 

Sad thing is bishop was the best of a bunch of bad back ups forced to start.  I think its too easy to point the finger at QBs though. Especially when most played  behind awful ols and lacked weapons / systems.

He was fun to watch. Gunslinger. 

Sammy Garza really should be our starting deadbeat...

I give you TJ Rubley and the 1998 Blue Bombers. Dude didn't win a game that year.

Spurgeon Wynn with Durant as backup 

deadbeat QB would be tough competition 

Oh f*** yeah. Tee Martin. Kerwin Bell, and he could get all time gold medal blooper award.

"Kall The Kopps: Blue Find New QB!"

Ah I remember the days when I actually thought that Huff was a bad QB in blue and gold... little did I know what was coming

Its amazing to watch any athlete with such an overpowering singular tool. But especially an incredible arm. Probably my favorite of our bad/not good players.

 I remember him with the argos nearly being sacked in the endzone, but throwing the ball off one leg falling back onto his butt (not a 45 degree angle but close in my memory) and it flying 70ish yards in a perfect spiral. I think he was just trying to throw it away too. 

Easily the greatest all around athlete ive ever seen play qb. He wasnt the fastest qb by any means, but he was still fleet a foot. (more straight line speed then quicks imo) Phyiscal strength on par with any qb, including the 270-300 lbs biguns that ran through college and pro football a few years back, and could jump like mad. I wonder if Kerry joseph was similar at a younger age. Though he was a better runner and not as insanely strong. (still preternaturally strong for a qb, and athlete of that size.) 

He lacked most all the refined QB skills and tools. Too much to ever over come and be even a second tier starter in the cfl. But fun to watch. A quicker version of him would be my perfect QB3.

well, the one "pick" (I believe it was that James Johnson guy...) skipped off the turf, but was ruled an INT. Because it was pre-instant replay, there was no overturning things...

There was replay by then.  Not automatic though.  Remember Bombers challenged 3rd and short.

Bombers must have their eye on this guy.

Or an injury is more serious then expected. Really interesting considering hes a T, and we have Mcgloster as well. 

At what point is the Bomber depth chart due? 

Within the next couple hours 

According to the Lions depth chart they've got Boyko starting at right tackle in his first CFL game.  Reilly's really going to have to have a quick release in this game.

The Jeffs are smiling this morning! 

No Matthews or Neufeld in week 1.  According to Bob Irving the bombers just made this official.

Reilly will do what he always does, run around avoiding tackles and heave the ball downfield. 

The thing that worries me is when O'Shea goes dark on a Pat Neufeld injury who knows how long the guy could be out.  He could be week to week for the whole season.  I guess Winnipeg is gonna use this game to evaluate Gray, Speller, Couture and if need be start an american guard in week 3 after the bye.

Love it. Juran Bolden, #21 who was all "GTFO here".

“My competitiveness and the way I played the game  got the best of me at that moment,” Bell remembered in an interview with For The Win this week. “I was just sort of playing around and talking trash. But it didn’t turn out quite the way I expected it.”

Instead, Bell nailed himself in the groin and Bolden gave him a push, with the QB landing on another opponent. Bell’s only thought at that moment?

“I was upset that I got a flag,” he said. “I actually got hit with the ball and by Juran. They got me for taunting or whatever it was for.”

Back then, there was no YouTube or Twitter to make the clip instantaneously go viral. But there was TSN, which Bell said ran the highlight “night and day for a week.”

“I realized that it was something that was going to last the rest of my life,” he said."

Bombers make it official, Chris Mathews and Pat Neufeld won’t play in BC. Rookie receivers Lucky Whitehead and Kenny Lawler both start.

I'm ok with that.

Same here. Interesting to see who would be the 4th DI. Could be Nelson (if healthy) or Bailey.

Bye week in week 2.

Smarter to take care of it now.
