His ability to absorb a shot is the same. If streveler is the benchmark for a strong qb then there aren't many QBs in this league who aren't weak.

Line up all the QB's in the league and ask someone off the street to point to which guy in the group is secretly an accountant while the rest are football players... guarantee you Nichols would be picked out each time

He is however physically weak compared to most of the other qbs. Once he comes back from this injury I think he's on borrowed time and his career won't last that much longer. The guy goes down way to easily. How would you hold up if you got hit by a truck? Would the fact that some bones may break from the impact somehow define your physical toughness?

Both are still short of the god of all work out qbs, michael bishop. But then Tee martin had monstrous strength as well. (youd think he was a DL watching him hit weights) Nichols is physically tougher then most qbs. Nichols has never been a well polished athlete, if he wasnt a qb he wouldnt be a pro athlete. But with his mobility and being on the wrong side of 30 I dont see him gaining much use from refining much more.

The best QB's are smart, success rarely has anything to do with their physical assets, in fact a lack of brains is why the majority of QB's fail. Luckily Streveler is also smart.

August 19, 20195 yr comment_418346 Is there some sort of "who can say the most douchy thing about Nichols" competition going on? I must have missed the announcement.

Both physically and mentally tough.
August 19, 20195 yr comment_418350 the people with an irrational hate for Nichols are bordering on insane right now....Christ almighty.

Luckily Streveler is also smart. lack of brains... Also, I think being composed, staying calm while ignoring the mayhem and chaos around you, and the chance of a terrible injury on each play. The crazy canucks were able to do that. also, jockeys, race car drivers. another one is the equestrian sport eventing. completely insane sport, in which you might literally die at any point.

I'm sorry if I offended your sense of better judgement. When I see Matt's arms I don't think "gunslinger quarterback". When I see her arms I think "she spends some time in the gym". P.S. I do think their daughter Elliot is an adorable cutey.

Don be sorry for offending our sense of better judgement (what ever that means). Maybe just be sorry for saying something asinine.

But there's a difference between criticizing his play VS criticizing him as a person.
August 19, 20195 yr comment_418367 Wow some people go overboard .... I simply was suggesting that Nichols is a guy who cannot take a lot of punishment based on his size.

August 19, 20195 yr comment_418459 Being physically strong has nothing to do with how well your parts stay together. Louis Cyr, the Montreal policeman who was undoubtedly one of the strongest men in the world, had to sleep sitting up because of his COPD. Some of us are just brittle.

If only he was big and strong like Doug Flutie, Damon Allen and Kevin Glenn he would be able to handle rigors of being a CFL quarterback. Biggest arms on a QB I can think of were attached to Matt Dunnigan, and how much time did he spend on the IR?

August 19, 20195 yr comment_418470 Id love to see us route some one and be able to get mcguire a few reps. He could be a good one.
