I refuse to judge any receivers who played for the Ticats in the past 5 years. They had no one who could get them the ball in a timely fashion, they had offensive co-ordinators who couldn't design plays to allow them to get open and an offensive line that did not give the QBs enough time to find open receivers. Despite these factors working against him, Petersen led the team in receptions. He is now proving how good he could have been with some competent players behind him....
We lost a lot of high quality players (performance and character) during the past few years. Thankfully, Obie and Coach B have turned things around. Oh well, football goes on.
I remember them too. I was surprised to see him as top Canadian prospect for this year in some TSN Analyst’s view. I think it might have been Ford. Anyway, Incompleterson (actually I shiver at the thought of those days) is 16th of the 17 top receivers in the league for yards per catch. Sounds like he’s got a little Morrealitis too.
KP had difficulty in most of his playing time with both Winnipeg and the Ti Cats. He was always fast, had an ability to clear in the clear but would most often drop a long significant pass that was put right into his hands. Since with the Esks- he now is catching these passes- it must be the coaching. I would rate KP as one of the most improved players in the CFL.
I have to disagree. He played well in Hamilton. Didnt have as many drops as Winnipeg and IMO was handicapped (along with Flick, Vaughn, Brazzell) and other talented receivers we had here with Jason Maas. If we had a healthy QB, or even another year of Danny Mac, that group of receivers would have been very sufficient and would have had us back in the playoffs.
