Quarterback Rankings: Who is the No. 1 pivot in the CFL?

You’re aware Rumpelstiltskin just woke up from deep sleep since Dec 2018…now in 2025 and that his team is 2/0 he has a lot of steam to let off. Perhaps Calgary will settle in around 3rd maybe 4th place in the west around mid-ish season. Then he’ll go back to sleep for a few more years

That’s about where I have them. Might be in a dogfight for that last playoff spot. Two games against weaker opposition does not equal a playoff spot as of yet. We’ll see.

… assessment on the three games your favorite team has played ignores the fact that there is one team that has only played one game so far and two others having won both of their games. So your acknowledgement of a “scant” three games of evidence for your team while disregarding the lack of a reliable sample size for one team and the accomplishments of two others renders your assessment questionable.

Lulwhat.

It is scant evidence. I’m well aware of that. Keep in mind that I am not saying we are the BEST team in the league, just the most well-rounded. Disagree if you want. Doesn’t bother me.

Of course you’re aware of it, you acknowledged that in the comment to which I replied.
You say you base your assessment of “most well- rounded” on a “scant” three games won. Most well-rounded team in the CFL for 2025 must be based on a comparison of all the teams vying in the league. But three teams have won 100% of their games with one having played only one game. So your “scant” sample size is actually limited to one game when comparing to the least of the league’s sample size.
You may be absolutely correct that the Alouettes will turn out to be the “most well-rounded” but you certainly can’t say it based on incorrect comparisons.

Agreed. The Bombers to me looked just as well rounded in facing a tougher opponent in their one game than any of the three opponents the Als have faced.

The answer for me, however is to avoid making sweeping generalizations and predictions based on a one game sample size as you point out.

@stampland

…g blanket statements like “All teams lose players” … I just gave you a specific list of Stamp original coaches who are now with the riders and you cant come back with any, so saying Im cherry picking is laughable. If we go back to year 2000.. the list of Stamps player/coaches who became riders vs the opposite is incredibily onesided. Im afriad the riders are a net taker, not contributor to the CFL

Bit curious, why aren’t those coaches still with you? I think it’s because they didn’t fit the mold that upper management wanted or they just out grew their jobs. What do you think?

@disciplineandpunish

…ounded team in the league. That doesn’t mean we have the best players at every position. But of all the nine teams, I think the Alouettes have the fewest weaknesses on paper (barring injury, of course). One team might have better receivers, another team might have a stronger secondary, and so on. But we don’t have a single unit that is a weakness or question mark. And that is part of why we are 3-0.

I agree with you that Montreal looks #1 at this point. The team to beat.

I’ve rooted for Montreal next to my riders since fajardo and Maas went there. Even with fajardo gone now I still find myself enjoying them. They’re a great team and highly entertaining to watch.

I also appreciate your perspective about boasting about your team. And objective perspective is alwways best otherwise it’s just obnoxious.

Well, I do believe you are the first one to raise jersey sales. . .

My first comment was about VA.. it was ABC who did

They were all good coaches who wanted to advance their careers and took opportunities presented..

@disciplineandpunish

But I try to be as objective as I can about where my team ranks. So I’m not going to say we have the best secondary or the best backup QB or the best this or the best that lightly, the way some here do.

LOL LOL

@disciplineandpunish

I will say that after a scant three games of evidence, Montreal has the most well-rounded team in the league.

Bragging rights in someones mind

If we’re talking about off-the-field bragging rights, “My” WPG Blue Bombers averaged 31,165 tickets sold per game. That’s 9,614 more per game than CGY sold. I wonder how many jersey sales it takes to match or surpass that?

I’ll bet that some other teams did better than CGY too.

Jersey sales went up when toilet paper was not available in Calgary grocery stores and COSTCO

Isn´t it fun when a Bomber fan and a Rider fan can double-team a Stampeder fan?

I would be hesitant to anoint him after 5 or so bad years up to last year. I think that Alexander, Kelly and Rourke might have something to say about that this year. Let’s see how the season goes.

Do you know who sold the most jerseys in CFL last year?
