Looks like Week 3’s starting QB is up for grabs… EVEN Williams has a shot at it… I think Charlie is seeing Maas for what he really is… AWFUL!
"We'll see how things go in practice," Desjardins said. "All three guys played (against Toronto) and any one of the three can be a possibility to start, even Richie. He showed some athleticism and moved around well."
Chang needs reps to improve, maybe we can shape him into a superstar. How many years would a healthy Maas have left anyways? Let’s get this guy ready to be next inline for the throne.
ETMRaw, if we keep Chang on the bench, getting back-up reps, how much can he improve? Not nearly as much as if he gets the starting role. Chang is a team-player who brings energy into the QB role. Now, he didn't light up the field when he played on Saturday, but he moved the ball, even though he dealt with some major botched snaps. If Chang isn't ready now, he'll never be ready.
I see your point, but if Chang does start, we will still need an experienced back-up (they will not carry Maas’s salary in a back-up role, and I don’t think Jason would take a pay cut)
I really think Chang should start, it just seems the O has confidence in his abilities and he may “take them to the next level”
Hopefully by then the mental errors will be worked out a bit and the O-Line working ALOT better together so we can utilize the run early, once we get behind the run is abandoned and I’d like to see Lumsden and Holmes play huge roles too
I'm sick of hearing about Maas being "injured." He has been given every opportunity to make something happen with the offence this year, and has done NOTHING. And if you think it's the receivers' fault, or the O-Line's fault, think again. A good CFL QB should be able to scramble away from pressure and zip passes into tight coverage. Maas can't do either, but Chang can. That's why Chang should start the rest of the season.
Plus, we have to think that Chang will be here next year, but Maas will not. So why not give our QB of the future some invaluable experience this year by PLAYING HIM?! (Kind of like what Buffalo did with Losman).
