Good point. He should have said “a solid QB and a solid third string WR”.
The QB is one of two guys that handles the ball on every offensive possesion, so his performance is a LITTLE bit more important than that of a few other guys on the roster.
I'd also love the Cats to win the Cup in Toronto in 07. It could happen. I don't think Montreal will do well under Popp at all, the Argos will go south because they have no QB, and Winnipeg is never a contender.
Teams led by poor or injured QBs seldom get to play in, much less win, championships.
Maas is far from a poor QB, but injured…? And the other guys…? Several as-yet-unproven things need to come together for it to happen, but of course we can win one within the next three years.
Obviously, but the point was defense and special teams have to be good and timely to win chamionships.
With both your chances of winning are far more likely than the opposite.Many a playoff game and GCs have been won with so-so QBs or QBS that played so-so in the game.(see Dickenson 06) The same cant be said for Ds and STs.
A QB can play a tremendous game and still be betrayed by bad defense/missed FGS. (see Ham at MTL 06)
To win this year Maas doesnt have to be spectacular. If he gets blocking and a running game with solid, timely D/ST he just has to be steady…get to the playoffs and…
When all the QB's fail to produce this
year, Bob will offer bench sitting
Printers an offer he can't refuse to
come to hamilton and that will be the
start of our winning seasons.
