September 15, 20159 yr comment_152719 In a perfect world, we don't see Tajh Boyd throw a pass for us until sometime in 2017. Sure would be nice to have an extended period of stability at QB. Would that be before or after they cart Willy off the field for the last time? Kidding ...
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152720 Please God, don't allow Marcel to be the one to guide this kids destiny.
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152733 Their oc really liked the fake end-around. Hey I'd use it. it works. Especially at college level where defence has to be superhyped on every game and not pro level personnnel. Mind you we aren't going to see the play where the linebacker knifed through and broke up the play. Thanks for the highlights Fanboy. Holy smokes, kid has a rifle for an arm, a nice touch, a gorgeous pump-fake, and can run the ball. However, the offense he was running had all kinds of mis-direction, slants, reverses, etc. We don't do any of that here.

Like all coaches get fired, all quarterbacks get injured ; but for the love of all things blue please don't joke about it.
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152740 WINNIPEG, MB., September 15, 2015 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announce today the club has acquired the negotiation list rights to quarterback Tajh Boyd, in exchange for a conditional pick in the 2017 CFL Draft. Boyd has also been added to the club’s practice roster. Boyd (6-0, 225, Clemson, September 25, 1990 in Hampton, Virginia) played four seasons at Clemson, his final three as the starter. As a senior he led the Tigers to an Orange Bowl victory, where he threw for five touchdowns and ran for another. He holds school records for passing yards and passing touchdowns with 11,904 and 107, respectively. The New York Jets drafted Boyd in the sixth round of the 2014 draft. Following his stint there he signed with the Steelers, where he spent the 2015 training camp. Among his collegiate accomplishments, Boyd was named ACC Player of the Year in 2012, ACC record for touchdowns thrown in a season (36) and the MVP of the Chick-fil-A Bowl in 2012.

I am way too lazy to find them, but I agree with you the misdirection works really well in college but not so much in pro level. He kind of threw into coverage but hey if I had number 6 catching for me I might take chance every once in a while. All the motion before ball snaps that every CFL team uses is a kind of misdirection that often sets up successful plays.
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152756 So he's on our neg list, what is the reality ever seeing him up here?
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152757 So he's on our neg list, what is the reality ever seeing him up here? He's on the practice roster and will be at practice tomorrow.
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152761 So he's on our neg list, what is the reality ever seeing him up here? He's on the practice roster and will be at practice tomorrow. lol, I've been in a bubble since Saturday. In that case, Warren Moon 2.0.
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152790 Can run, pass...nice size...good signing...Looks like this kid has loads of potential and IF he is brought along properly, could end up being a quality qb. in this league...Looking forward to see him in some CFL action.
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152793 Interesting Bob Irving says Boyd could be Drew Willy’s backup next season. Bob’s usually pretty plugged into what the Bombers are thinking. This could suggest Nichol’s isn’t re-signing before testing free agency.
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152803 I think that comment suggests Bob is talking out of his ass and has no idea what our backup situation will look like next season.
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152804 I think that comment suggests Bob is talking out of his ass and has no idea what our backup situation will look like next season. Could be. Or he could have had a conversation with Kyle Walters. We just don't know.
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152812 I think that comment suggests Bob is talking out of his ass and has no idea what our backup situation will look like next season. Ha! lol Indeed. Because for all anyone knows, Drew Willy could be the back-up next year.
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152822 The guy slings the ball with no effort whatsoever. No big windup for the long ball, which takes pressure off the O-line. I like it.
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152825 The quick flick toss that Boyd has could be a lifesaver for him considering the porosity of our O-line at present. Still, Boyd has to make his bones like everyone else, but he seems to be smart enough to make the transition.
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152850 Meh to this signing. He remains a prospect until he shows me otherwise.

This could suggest Nichol’s isn’t re-signing before testing free agency. I would say it's pretty obvious that he'll test free agency, why wouldn't he?
September 15, 20159 yr comment_152860 On the Boyd highlights, it would be nice to sign #6 ...wow...what a Receiver.
September 16, 20159 yr comment_152865 @DarrinBauming: Tajh Boyd's CFL agent tells me the #Bombers practice roster QB has yet to sign a contract with the club — just a practice roster agreement.
September 16, 20159 yr comment_152869 @DarrinBauming: Boyd arrived in Winnipeg today and is expected to practice with the #Bombers tomorrow.

Lol.Amazing how people down in the USA think it's so easy in the CFL for these guys.Hope the kid does well though looks like he has all the tools.
September 16, 20159 yr comment_152886 On the Boyd highlights, it would be nice to sign #6 ...wow...what a Receiver. Not sure the Houston Texans would be open to a trade offer from us.

How about Sam Hurl for Deandre Hopkins? Henoc can replace Hurl and Brian Cushing is always injured, so Hurl can play MLB for Houston. A win-win! Walters get er done!
