    Matt Nichols Traded to Bombers

    With another loss, this time to the lowly Riders, you can expect the Bombers new QB, Matt Nichols, to be starting their next game. A conditional seventh round pick seems a pretty low price to pay for a QB with Nichols experience.

    The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have acquired quarterback Matt Nichols from the Edmonton Eskimos in exchange for a conditional seventh round pick in the 2017 CFL Draft.
    Nichols has spent his entire six-year CFL career in Edmonton. During that time, the import completed 270 of 443 passes for 3,386 yards and 19 touchdowns. He’s also rushed for 138 yards and three majors.
    “Matt is a player with significant experience in this league,” said Bombers GM Kyle Walters. “He has proven to be a solidified quarterback and will come in and add immediate depth to this position on our roster.”
    The Bombers have struggled since their primary pivot, Drew Willy, suffered a right knee injury on Aug. 9 against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Winnipeg has dropped back-to-back games, scoring a combined 28 points in the two losses.

    As Matt Nichols passing stats show, he will be a definite upgrade over Brian Brohm.

    With Willy out, the Bombers have the worst QB situation in the league imo.

    After taking some time to tune into his receivers, Nichols looked sharp in leading the Bombers to a 22-7 win over the Riders while going 21 for 30 for 283 yards after only four practices in Winnipeg.

    But he also fumbled twice and threw a pick. Same probelms he had in Edmonton, where he has issues protecting the ball. The victory was due to the Winnipeg D either being very good, or Brett Smith being very bad in that game.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Nichols isn't top tier, he's just better than the typical QB that the Bumblers organization recruits.
