Management picked all these players..... they must believe each one of them has something to offer the team. So if this is what we do and we win...... great !

Streveler really hasn't had that opportunity in any meaningful way (like the game is on the line) since the beginning of last season. This is a good opportunity for him and the Bombers to see what he's actually learned since then, because I don't think Lapo's done him any favours in his spot duty. Streveler had almost a full half against the RB's to show his stuff when Nichols went down, in the time allotted he did not move the team within Medlock's 50 yard range. The only way he got near the endzone was when Lankford fumbled the punt inside the RB's 10. I don't blame Streveler, it's LaPo who has turned him into a knockoff of Dan LeFevour.
August 16, 20195 yr comment_417565 Here’s the thing. It wouldn’t surprise me at all to see Lapo institute a gimmicky gameplan with minimal downfield passing but what would be the point? Streveler has four starts and is in his second season, if he can’t run the full playbook with a few extra plays mixed in to highlight his legs then we have bigger problems than just the next 6-8 weeks. If you don’t have confidence the guy can run that offence, then what’s the point in having him as your backup QB? Granted, this is all jumping to conclusions without any evidence that it will be a condensed playbook but it’s far from out of the realm of possibility. Beyond that, I can’t see this scenario as anything other than a win-win. If Streveler either struggles or puts up similar numbers to Nichols, you put Nichols back in and you reevaluate the QB spot after the season. If he excels, you have to at least assume that the struggles of the offence had at least something to do with Nichols and you consider moving on after the season. While you don’t want to give games away, the team has a cushion to play with and getting Streveler meaningful reps now could come in VERY handy late in the year.

August 16, 20195 yr comment_417575 The one thing our receivers are going to have to adjust to is the velocity of Streveler's passes vs. Nichols. Streveler's are going to be coming in hot and the receivers need to be ready. We might see some passes go right thru the hands until the receivers can adjust. Edited August 16, 20195 yr by B-F-F-C

Exactly...we know the Schmoes are gonna stack the box..prob have any where from 5-8 guys in the box and bring the heat..make Strev beat them with his arm while trying to neutralize Harris. How we combat that is lots of misdirection..moving the pocket..and roll outs..that's how u spread that scheme and nullify their pass rush..they wont ignore it or they will get burned...a healthy mix of that..some in the pocket work and use and then threat of wildcat..will leave room for a lot of options. With Strev in there just run an offence with no gimmicks..they aren't needed with a Srrev style QB..his freaky ability and knack for getting yards himself is gimmick enough.
August 16, 20195 yr comment_417585 Be a different scenario with Strev in all the way, running a full (we hope) O package. At least we can figure out, what we actually have with him. OL blocks for runs, pretty well...if we can maintain a two headed run threat.....then play action, options, hybrid motion sets, and some other change ups may work. All in the hands of the guy pulling the trigger, though.

The good news is there's lots of room for improvement with the right coaching. FLASH SCOUTING REPORT: Chris Streveler is a player’s QB; one of the guys... strong, thick build... solid frame... still learning the QB position... lacks the nuances of smooth QB, but has come far in last 2 seasons... strong arm... LORD, what a trigger! ... ball is out with flick of the wrist, with steam... rapid delivery using compact motion and high release point... lacks finesse at this point... very shallow reads; 1-n-done... still, makes good on his early reads... worked from shot-gun in a tempo offense... confident and enthusiastic play... pocket presence needs seasoning as he is late to recognize the rush... sets platform quickly but uneven footwork causes uncoordinated throwing motion... platform is good, but fails to drove off back leg for power... arm-thrower... still, ball comes out with fire and in a hurry... accuracy is there but flawed within the window... ball-placement is not his priority, but he hits the receiver’s catch radius accurately and timely... not a shy passer and will give his receivers a chance to “win” the football... deep ball is hit-n-miss, but plenty of distance... could improve downfield juice and accuracy with better footwork from the platform... shows signs of throwing his receivers open rather than waiting for a clean jersey... still, no evidence of fluency on comebacks, back-shoulder throws or fades... Streveler is darn mobile and a dangerous runner... very effective on QB draws, boots and picking up chunky gains from a broken pocket... not a creative runner, but very effective... rushed for over 1500 yards and scored 20 ground TDs combined last 2 seasons... makes a terrific RPO pro prospect but needs quality NFL QB coaching... a good coach can create a winner here using that lightning release and athletic make-up. Aye, there's the rub.

August 16, 20195 yr comment_417613 2 hours ago, JCon said: It's Streveler's chance now. He's got more than a year under his belt and knows the playbook. Let's hope Lapo puts him in a position to succeed. Now, it's about his reads and his arm. Does he? His performance yesterday would say otherwise.
August 16, 20195 yr comment_417616 Just now, SpeedFlex27 said: Does he? His performance yesterday would say otherwise. Benefit of the doubt. He hasn't had regular first team reps for almost a year. I would say he knows the playbook but Lapo is going to need to put some faith into him to let him throw. Geez, even let him throw screens and we should be okay.
August 16, 20195 yr comment_417626 I am not worried about streveler. He can play the game. What worries me is Lapo. Is he going to handcuff him trying to outsmart everyone?

August 18, 20195 yr comment_418017 Streveler has regressed based on barely playing at all and running short yardage and trick plays? WTF?
August 18, 20195 yr comment_418078 Zero chance we bring in someone with zero knowledge of the offense and who has not been staying active. Maybe they bring in Kevin Glenn as a 3rd stringer for veteran presence for the two young guys. No way he would start.

God knows, he would have the protection of the best O-line in the CFL and the best he has had since he came into the league.
