June 12, 20196 yr comment_396497 Congrats -- sincerely wish he'd have been able to get his ring in 2007. Shame he never got the opportunity to play in that GC.
June 12, 20196 yr comment_396500 Do what’s best for you Kevin. You deserve it. Still think you should be on the Rider roster..
June 12, 20196 yr comment_396505 surprising because I was certain that someone would air lift him in as an emergency at some point in the season. Perhaps that's still a plan?
June 12, 20196 yr comment_396519 he had played for every team in the league, nothing more to do. Thanks KG for the memories, 2007 was a wonderful year.
June 12, 20196 yr comment_396520 Kevin and I have come a long way together. Spent better part of 2 decades, defending this guy, on various sites...
June 12, 20196 yr comment_396523 What’s Kevin Eiben up to these days anyway? Screw that guy. Congrats, KG! Hell of a career. Not a HOFer in my books.. but that’s OK.

He could be the qb2/3 for 3/4s of the league if not more.
June 12, 20196 yr comment_396530 I was just saying the other day that I didn't think he'd retire, ever. So obviously this comes as a surprise to me. Had his best years here as a Bomber (and probably should retire a Bomber). Thanks KG.
June 12, 20196 yr comment_396532 I still know if that f*ck Kevin Eiben hadn't broke his arm that we would have won the grey cup in 2007.congrats KG! Edited June 12, 20196 yr by Nolby

Correct me if I'm wrong but: Wpg- minimal, Sask-50% of snaps, Edm-Zero.

Big gaps in play and still produce a lot better then guys who have never been pro starters. The gap between Experienced starting qbs and ones with minimal pro experience is one of the biggest in sports.
June 12, 20196 yr comment_396540 I am surprised because he could really help some teams and stands to make some money by being an emergency replacement for a team that loses a QB and believes they are in the hunt. There really is no reason for him to announce his retirement unless he wants to make it clear that he is not going to consider that option. He has had a hell of a career and should leave the game with no regrets. He has conducted himself with a lot more class than several of he situations deserved.

Injuries nothing, he could walk into Ottawa or Montreal right now and be the unquestioned starter, Saskatchewan too probably.
June 12, 20196 yr comment_396543 He'll be back. Needs that Halifax jersey to round out the set once they join as an expansion franchise. Edited June 12, 20196 yr by TrueBlue4ever

He might physically be able to put a few series together, but for a QB who was notorious for folding with the yips when he was in his prime....well. I don't know of any athlete who becomes less anxious with age.

Though I think montreal will be alright with development. I bet he would be the starter by LD in To as well. 1 hour ago, Pete Catan's Ghost said: He might physically be able to put a few series together, but for a QB who was notorious for folding with the yips when he was in his prime....well.

Im not saying he would be a great option, but a whooole lot better then the alternative.
