Who is to say drew wont be too, he hasnt learned from his previous mistakes once yet. Same old same old. Gotta be smarter than forcing the ball into an obviously poor location.

Gtfo with this crap. Its his first season for crying out loud.. Cut the kid some slack..

There are darned few QBs in this league who have lit it up in their first year as starters- probably a half-dozen in the 100+ years, so let's let Willy grow into the job. Besides, we have one of the worst O-lines in the league, and that has to be hampering his development.

Except it's not tough mistakes he is making, tiles are mistakes you shouldn't make in college let alone pros. It's bad when I'm yelling what the heck are you doing before the ball even leaves his hand. I sure hope he starts learning from them.

People are not looking around at how hard it is to play offence in the CFL this year. There are lots of teams that struggle to score and score TDs. Scores under 20 have been very common this year.

Looking at the QBs league-wide, one would think offenses should be better.  Outside of Montreal, everyone has a decent - excellent starting QB.  

 

IMO, OL play is the biggest factor.  There are far too many plays where QB's are getting harassed and hit.  There aren't any rushing stats that jump out at you either.

Wally Buono was talking about is on tsn when they had him in the booth, his assessment was the extra DI spots help the defenses a lot allowing them more different looks. Seems like it could be a valid assessment. Get more specialized players on D whereas the offense is pretty much static with the players on it. 

Football seems to go in cycles as the game changes with different players and new schemes.  Throw in the Ottawa expansion draft to really jumble things up and offences need time to adjust.   The higher scoring offences will come back eventually.

 

If you've watched the trends for 20 years, you can see that offences always take longer to adjust.  It's worth noting that more Canadians start on offense, so it may take longer to find new talent.
