February 14, 201510 yr comment_108520 What *if* Willy continues his trend downwards from last year? What do we do then? The only downward trend for Willy, was the downward direction he took after being sacked because of a poor o line. I think we have started correcting that in a big way. See our moves in fa and other O Line acquisitions.(wink)

I think we have started correcting that in a big way. See our moves in fa and other O Line acquisitions.(wink) It wasn't all on the O-line. For a pro QB Willy takes way too long with pre- and post-snap reads and putting the ball in play. You only get so many steamboats. If he doesn't correct that, then even a better line won't help. I agree with those who don't want KG5 around here but at least he usually disposes of the ball quickly, often to the wrong team at the worst possible time, but that is another matter.
February 14, 201510 yr comment_108528 I'd personally rather start Robert Marve over Kevin Glenn in a do or die game.
February 14, 201510 yr comment_108542 I'd personally rather start Robert Marve over Kevin Glenn in a do or die game. And what do you base that on? Marve's Grey Cup appearances with 2 different teams? Oh wait...
February 14, 201510 yr comment_108543 Bombers back in on the bidding as per Kirk Penton Just re-watched the second half of the Winnipeg-Calgary game - the one in the snow. I'll take Marve, thank you - and 17to85 - I'm not just hot for Marve, I'm Troypod on Marve.
February 14, 201510 yr comment_108545 And what do you base that on? Marve's Grey Cup appearances with 2 different teams? Oh wait... What are you basing your Glenn love on? His performance in the BC - Montreal playoff game? Oh wait... Glenn has lost it. Time to go sell doughnuts in Detroit full time.
February 14, 201510 yr comment_108546 Experience only KBF. Insurance. Marve has done nothing in this league. I don't want him getting the keys to the franchise yet.
February 14, 201510 yr comment_108548 iso you do understand that Glenn does not provide "insurance" if he plays like he so often does. You also realize that he's now a year older and that "experience" is such that BC, a team that could really use a quality backup, had Glenn and cut Glenn. What does that say about him? You're simply hoping, nothing more, that Glenn will give us more that Marve, but you have no way of knowing if that's the case. None at all. And yes, Glenn has two Cup appearances. Remind me again what his record is as a Cup starter, would you?
February 15, 201510 yr comment_108551 I wouldn't knock the BC experience... The coaching was clueless with all the talent they had.

February 15, 201510 yr comment_108562 word from #cfl source is #bombers are closing in on a contract with QB Brian Brohm — gary lawless (@garylawless) February 15, 2015 Looks like Glenn won't be coming to Winnipeg

He was injured in 2007...otherwise that game wouldn't have been close. I would take 2007 Glenn every day of the week.
February 15, 201510 yr comment_108569 Experience only KBF. Insurance. Marve has done nothing in this league. I don't want him getting the keys to the franchise yet.Marve got us our first win in Calgary since Khari Jones. How many games did Glenn actually win for BC last year? I was at the game at BC Place last year and I watched Glenn get hit by Bryant Turner a few times and just crumple and give up. I've seen that movie too many times. No thanks.
February 15, 201510 yr comment_108575 The Stamps were in cruise mode that game. They were thinking ahead to the Western Final. #ripeforthepicking
February 15, 201510 yr comment_108584 The Stamps were in cruise mode that game. They were thinking ahead to the Western Final. #ripeforthepicking wh But if Glenn had won it, it would have been one of the greatest exhibitions of quarterbacking in the history of football. Ya, I know how this drill works.
February 15, 201510 yr comment_108612 Now now, that game in Calgary was an ass ugly game in the snow. Sloppy sloppy sloppy. It was a good effort by the Bombers and Marve but it's not like they went and beat a team in great conditions that was firing on all cylinders. This board has a real problem with blowing things out of proportion.
February 15, 201510 yr comment_108613 This board has a real problem with blowing things out of proportion. It's the offseason. We need something exciting to pass the time.
February 15, 201510 yr comment_108618 I know he started for Calgary in 2012 but what was his other Cup appearance? He was injured in 2007...otherwise that game wouldn't have been close. I would take 2007 Glenn every day of the week. This. 9 year ago he was a decent QB. He has been downhill ever since and turtles at either the first hit or if he sees his breath. I get that it's Wpg hosting the GC and want the best chance to win, I just don't see this re-tread who has been cut by most teams in the league, being the answer and am simply stunned that others still do. Glenn is done. Let's move on.
February 15, 201510 yr Author comment_108636 Does anybody know Glenn's all time passing yardage and where he ranks on the CFL all-time list?
February 15, 201510 yr comment_108642 Does anybody know Glenn's all time passing yardage and where he ranks on the CFL all-time list? 43336 total yards and he's 8th in all time passing yards.
February 15, 201510 yr comment_108668 It's funny people here are so anti-Glenn, he did get this team as close to a Grey Cup championship as it's been in a long long time. Long long time? Six years one way and four the other is not a long long time.

It was a good effort by the Bombers and Marve but it's not like they went and beat a team in great conditions that was firing on all cylinders. This board has a real problem with blowing things out of proportion. Yeah it was an ugly-ass win, but one that the Stamps definitely wanted, if for nothing else for Huff's ego to go 16-2 and be considered one of the best teams of all time. Bo Levi played the entire game. Why if it was a "nothing" game? What I took away from that game was that the Bombers played a completely error-free second half with Marve not turning over the ball once. He even had a few really good completions and excellent throws on the run, while Bo Levi looked like a clone of Jason Boltus. Anyway, not saying Marve is the next Tom Clements, but he's got the tools to be one of the most exciting QB I've seen in a Bomber uniform in a long time.
