Rate the Quarterbacks in the CFL

CFL Talk
1

This is my take:

  1. Durant - Sask.- can run , roll-out or be a drop back pure passer. Very difficult to defend
  2. Cavilho- Mont.- picks defences apart but age has slowed him down. Not a scrambling threat anymore.
  3. Burris- Calgary- Hot and cold but more mature than in the past.
  4. Glen - Hamilton- experienced and can throw short and long and read defences pretty well.
  5. Ray - Edmonton- having an awful year but still better than the rest.
  6. Pierce - Winnipeg- injury prone but a heady qb.
  7. Lemon- Toronto- learning the CFL but not up to the others yet
  8. All the B.C. quarterbacks- despite a lousy offensive line - none of them have shown they can lead the team on the field.

Calvillo is #1. he's playing very well with a good offense.

Burris is playing pretty good too at this moment, so he's #2

Durant is #3. he's had some shaky games the last 3 weeks with his throwing and his INT's.

Ray is #4 because he is capable of pulling a game out of his butt all by himself

Glenn #5

Lemon is #6

Pierce is 7

and the lions are 8

Switch 6 and 7, and I might agree... Pierce has more experience, and when he's healthy, he's good. Lemon is still learning the game.

Durant over Ray... I don't know... The Esks haven't looked good, but that's more because of incompetent play calling and Campbell.

Based on what ive seen so far i would rank it:

  1. Calvillo
  2. Burris
  3. Durant
  4. Glenn
  5. Ray
  6. Lemon

Durant needs to reduce the interceptions in order to move up. Burris has had one bad game and other than that he's been pretty lights out. I didn't rank Pierce because he's played 2 1/2 games and i didn't rank any of B.C. quarterbacks because none of them are worth ranking.

Calvillo

Durant
RAY

Pierce
Lemon
anybody from BC !

Burriss is leading the league in Int’s (now tied with Durant, but Durant has a game on him), and like you said that one bad game was where 4 of his Int’s were, but still, I wouldn’t call him lights out in the rest of his games.

I rank them
Calvilo
Durant
Glenn
Burris
Ray
Pierce
Jyles
Lemon
whatever qb BC deploys

7

Burris was rough in his first three games. He's been good in his last three.

8

I don't quite understand why our QBs are getting ranked last.... hum...

My QB rankings:

Durant
Calvillo
Burris
Glenn
Pierce
Ray
Printers
Jyles
Lemon
Jackson
Lulay

discipline&all-
How can you rank Printers ahead of Lemon or in fact ahead of anyone. He has been awful. Give your head a shake and look at B.C.'s record. Printers is playing no better than he did in Hamilton which was awful with a capital A.

Every BC quarterback has looked poor this season. A horrible O-line and questionable playcalling / schemes from the OC will do that to anyone. I still think Printers brings more to the table than Lemon at this point in time. I may revise my opinion in a few weeks, though. :wink:

LOL.. you guys are all picking QBs by team standings..why not try actually rating the QUARTER BACK statistically!!

15

really…how many people put lemon at 4th???

16

In Durants two interceptions against the Als, Two of these bounced off a Sask player into Alouette arms. I like Durant and, would rate him as number one at this point. He is EXTREMELY difficult to bring him down- AC is a sitting duck and Durant can get first downs and touchdowns through his running. At this point in time, Durant is the CFLs MVP.

1-Durant- The guy’s unsackable. Pure magic!!!

2-Glenn- Kevin Glenn’s been amazing the last few weeks…just ask Arland Bruce

3-Calvillo- Can’t run…worst red-zone record last 2 years. Totally inconsistent if not downright HORRIBLE in BIG games (1/2 of 1 exception) and “going gets tough” situations. Absolutely refuses to share the ball with running backs (or backup quarterbacks)…best running effort is AWAY from Adrian McPherson (good luck with THAT AC)

4-Pierce- It hurt to see him hobble through the 1st half of the Hamilton game. Gutsy QB with loads of talent.

5-Burris- Who knows what’s happened to him this year. Seems to be pulling things together though.

6-Ray- Hot and cold. Sleepwalks through half his games. Arkee Whitlock has changed things a bit…but not much.

7-Printers- Same comments as Pierce. More worries about HIS head than Bucks though (and I don’t mean concussions)

8-Lemon- Hard to say. Flashes of brilliance. Work in progress, or dud in the making?
