Not withstanding one of the worst performances in CFL history by a QB today by DURANT its clear that DREW WILLY is the future of this franchise-
I will give DURANT a free pass for looking like a CIS QB today, and having no composure and just basically handing the game to MTL on so many occasions- I have never seen an offense so bad that would have actually done better if they just ran the ball on 1st down and PUNTED on 2nd down- No doubt in my mind they would have beat MTL that way--
SASK has a good receiving core and a great running back- However this is the main issue- IF DURANT is going to stand in the pocket, as you saw today he is one of the weakest QBS in the CFL- Durant is not a pocket QB- HE cannot read the defense, he has possibly the worst touch I have ever seen by a QB- He just doesent understand where the pressure is coming from and how to go through his reads--
DREW WILLY on the other hand can actually understand what the defenses are doing and is a better pocket passer- Durant is not mentally tough and as you saw today is NOT IMPROVING- The entire league knows that DURANT is in love with the deep ball, the DEEP CORNER to DRESSLER OR GETZLAF- Take that away and you take away most of his passing game--
With teams like CGY and TORONTO and BC out there, its clear that DURANT cannot get it done vs these teams- Durant is just not a good QB period-
Now I think that WILLY is a better option- he is young, he can improve, he has touch, the 1 start he played he looked very comfortable and has a better arm and throwing ability than DURANT--
It was laughable at one point where MTL would rush 2 guys and drop 10 in coverage DARING DURANT to figure out where the open guy was and he checked down to SIMON and overthrew him by 10 yards when he was standing all alone on the sidelines-
Durants body language today was a joke- he was rattled all game long and couldnt do anytihng expect hand the game over to MTL-- This type of play will not beat CGY this season again--
ALso notes-- CHAMBLIN better start learning how to coach- This performance vs a injury depleted ALS team using a QB who hasnt even had any meaningful reps is cause for concern--
If CGY was in the same situation would HUFNAGEL have his team totally unprepared to play tonight? Would Huffnagel leave an OBVIOUSLY RATTLED QB in the game after its clear he is throwing passes backwards and just pretty much lost his mind out there?
Chamblin I am telling you guys will be exposed for the FRAUD of a head coach he is--
ALso who is the secondary coach- HAVE THEY HEARD OF A FORM TACKLE? None of the secondary guys except for Anderson know how to tackle- THey just HIT GUYS and try to body check them instead of wrapping the player up and tackling them-
Either way the bottom line is that SASK will never win a GREY CUP with Durant at the helm- He is not a champion- He is not getting better- he is getting worse- HIs ball security is a major concern, and he can easily be rattled early on and then he goes into the tank-
All in all this was one of the worst performances by a head coach (CHAMBLIN) QB (DURANT) and CORTEZ) who couldnt make any adjustments at all today)
