CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders might make a shift at pivot.
Head coach Dave Dickenson said after practice on Tuesday that quarterback Matthew Shiltz has gotten more reps as the starter in practice, signaling a change might be in the near future.
Why has the very stubborn coach Dave Dickenson not given Tommy Stevens a shot at the starting Pivot. It’s time for John Hufnagel to ask Dave to bow out gracefully after this horrendous 2024 campaign.
It was very evident after two series in the preseason that Matt was a way better quarterback, better arm better scrambling better at reading better in every way possible yet sat him on the bench for the entire season. Yes, I do know he was injured in practice and was on the six game, but he should’ve been starting game one bye-bye Dave
I have been following the career of Matthew Shiltz since 2017, and what has he done in the league?
Not much.
He has had his chances and either gets injured or fizzles out.
He is already 31 years old.
He has shown a few things in certain moments, he likes to take off running, I have seen him play decently under pressure, but nothing is ever consistent with him.
He has never played a full season as the #1 guy, and as noted above, he is 31.
He is lucky to still be in the league.
