Anything missing?

[Tobin Rote]

How about another quarterback that can actually play a little. I'd hate to see the whole thing collapse after these past several weeks of good hires and personnel moves... but given the current roster and another injury to Ricky Ray... I'm afraid that's exactly what would happen.

You have any suggestions for a QB who can play and is not currently signed? They aren't in heavy supply.

If Ricky gets hurt, Willy will be first up unless Fajardo pushes past him on the depth chart. Until we see what he can do under Trestman, I'm not ready to write Willy off. But I would love to see Fajardo continue to develop, and expect we will.

I'm not ready to write of Matthews either. In the past when given his chances, he has moved the football. Untimely interceptions have been his downfall. Maybe a philosophy change helps him more than anything.

It's gotta be our turn to have Kevin Glenn. No?

PS - I like Fajardo a lot too. Good teams almost never have rookie QBs though.

We already had him for a day or two. Saskatchewan would be pretty foolish to dump him, given they have an ex-NFLer/CFL rookie in Young and a somewhat experienced but still raw QB in Bridge.

We've already had him and traded him away the same day.

On May 19, 2004, the Roughriders traded Glenn to the Toronto Argonauts for their best selection (third overall) in the 2005 CFL Draft, however later in the day, Glenn was traded to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for their best selection in that draft (also the third overall selection).

Question was guys who are not already signed elsewhere.

Sorry. It was supposed to be a joke. Pretty weak I guess.

Well, we signed two QBs today. We're not really going to go into camp with EIGHT QBs, are we?

Edit: Oh wait, the new guys are already on the roster - so we have SIX. That's still a lot of QBs - I'm guessing that one guy will be cut pretty quickly.

Yeah, they will want to get down to four by the first PS game, I imagine (unless someone gets dinged early in camp).

Are we not dismissing the potential that we may have very good prospects at camp to fill these needs? Shaw, Spencer, Gurley, Hazelton, and Elliot all came as unknown rookies. I'm sure there are potential stars just waiting for an opportunity. Calgary never built their team thru free agency and it has always seemed that they have managed to put in the right player that emerged in camp either as a rookie or someone who had to wait a season. We might come out with a few gems once camp concludes.

True enough Gabe, every season pumps out some future young stars, but as of now they are ???, so we essentially just have to wait and see which of 'em turn into players that will help the team win.

One thing I'll readily admit is that I have faith in Popp fixing out defence pretty quickly.

I'm not the coach or GM so I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy training camp. If I really knew, then I'd sitting in the coaches room like Rossetti and Zimmerman.

I'm not too worried about the QB position. As much as I've lost faith in Ray as I think he's lost a step and prone to injury. I like the fact that Trestman is not hellbent on playing Ray no matter what, Like SM did. I'm really interested to see what Trestman can do with Willy,Mathews, and Fajardo. Fajardo could be the diamond in the rough and Trestman the one to bring him along.
