This seems like an obvious statement but I fully expect Powell to be no where near as exciting of a QB which IMO isn't a bad thing. I am just looking for more consistent QB play from all that play for the Elks. As fun and exciting it was at times to...

Fair enough.

I got nothing against Ford, I hope he does well. But after watching him for 4 yrs and not seeing at least IMO a ton of progression, most notably the ability to read defenses and his decision making. I have a hard time seeing...

Hervey has always said you build your team from the lines out and I agree with that.

If your Oline can't block. You can't do anything offensively. It won't matter how good your receivers or running back is, if the QB is either always running...

I am not necessarily saying he's 100% wrong but of course he wants all highschool kids to stay in Canada, preferably go to the U of A so he can keep an eye on them.

I am sure that the majority of Canadian highschool kids don't go to the...

Just my opinion but I don't think Ford was ever going to live up to his draft status if he stay in Edmonton. Here's why I think that:

- Part of it is, there is a reason we don't see Canadian QB's come from Canadian University. The reason...

Tre Ford to me is the Elks Jesse Puljujarvi for the Oilers.

There were fans that it didn't matter what JP did on the ice or more correctly what he didn't do, they liked him. They thought he got a raw deal. They called for him to play more,...

This is exactly what I have been saying.

I agree Ford as a pure athlete is better than Powel. If Ford the athlete can turn into a better, more consistent QB, then he could be really good. Even better he's Canadian. But for the Elks, that...

If the coach has made the decision they like Panarin better, regardless of what anyone else thinks or even if the other player is better, as you said, you have to give the coach what he wants. Having a player the coach either doesn't trust or doesn't...

I would assume, you'd agree that a football team needs to stock their roster with players who the coach will actually play, do you not?

I read everything you said which is why I asked the question several times because your argument does...

I know we debated Ford a little while ago but I see you are still saying losing Ford is a downgrade at QB. You are clearly a fan of Ford which is totally fine but are you able to explain how it's a downgrade to the Elks at the QB position without using...

I like that Hervey so far is making his signings very targeted.

I thought the receiving core has a bunch of guys who are all good but as the season went on, it clearly lacked a go to guy. A guy who when you needed a big catch, he could...

Gregor had Hervey on his show on Jan 29th....

In a perfect world, you have Fajardo here for a couple of season with whoever behind him to learn from the guy and when Fajardo is done, the young guys is ready to step in....

Listening to Hervey yesterday, they seem pretty high on Snyder. I am sure they will probably in another QB or 2 as once you take Ford off the roster, they only have 3 listed. But whoever thy bring in, has to be a guy who has the skillset that the HC...

[Sectionq]

I feel like with Ford, they held onto him as long as they could in the hopes to maybe recoup some level of asset. He was drafted pretty high by the team. They invested a lot of time, energy and money developing him. So to give him up for nothing isn't...

Ford's been released.

“We believe a fresh start is in the best interests of both Tre and the organization. This decision should not be viewed as...

What assumptions am I making? The coach in an post season interview that Ford would benefit from being on another team. In all seriousness, other than the coach being extremely blunt and saying something like " get that guy off my team now",...

[Sectionq]

I agree about needing a back up but the coach doesn't like him!

To be a successful team, the GM and the coach have to be on the same page player wise. This especially applies after the coach has had a year on the job to assess the teams...

[Sectionq]

Why would you want to keep a QB even at a reduced price that the HC doesn't have confidence in even as a back up?

He started Ford because I think that was the mandate from Hervey which I agree with. But when he saw Ford either wasn't ready,...

[Sectionq]

Anything is possible but if I am the Ticats, I am not giving the Elks a single thing to get Ford.
#1 because I don't want to take on that contract. He's still completely unproven and while I think there is maybe a QB in there, I don't know if he's...
