Won't make much of a difference, they are a mediocre team with a decent QB and a bad one without one.

The difference is the caliber of the guy throwing these receivers the ball.

Well, obviously.
But if Glenn stays healthy all year, I don't see any reason the Als shouldn't be one of the top teams in the CFL. Great defense again with no major losses through retirement or free agency, awesome receiving core, an already good D-Line got a big boost with Vaughn Martin... Only real question mark is the O-Line again. Josh Bourke is gone to Toronto and he was one of the best left guards in the CFL. The starting center, Luc Brodeur-Jourdain, is going to miss the start of the year. Don't know how Jacob Ruby is going to play, but we'll see. The starting O-Line still remains old. Blake is 30, LBJ is 32 and his replacement Dominic Picard is 33, Matte is 30, Perrett is 30... With the exception of Ryan White, the rest of the O-Line are young & unproven.
If Glenn doesn't stay healthy, the Als will be like any other team that loses their starting QB: Dead. Hamilton was the best team in the CFL until they lost their QB and their season sank like a rock.

The thing is we've seen Kevin Glenn, and he is what he is... a bottom tier CFL QB who has some great games, but is wildly inconsistent. He can have good games, but eventually his interception problem will crop up and it will bite him in the ass. Thats who he is.
I don't understand why the Als didn't go after Trevor Harris. He was the young QB they needed, and he proved how good he is last year. He's way more accurate than Glenn.

According to Jim Popp he did go after Harris. He just didn't get him.

Maybe it was Bergevin who convinced Popp that it would be impossible to get Harris except on his xbox.

Hard to believe he'd take a one year backup job if a starters job was offered unless ottawa gave way more money.

No one has yet figured out how to work a Subban reference into the thread, is all.
From the way some are talking, it seems Subban would be a better choice at QB than whatever shit the Alouettes have.
The Als last 3 games have been absolutely brutal to watch... I mean there were plenty of moments in the 2nd half of the games where I felt sorry for Rod Black because all you could hear were crickets and a 2 and out for Montreal. I have seen better play out of US High School teams that what the Als have dispensed recently.
The fact that you are praying that Kevin Glenn can start says all that needs to be said about how crap a job Popp has done with the QB position since his ace in the hole retired. They are practically unwatchable at this point and I think TSN may bump their future games to just TSN5 because it is painful to watch even if you are a supporter of the other team... the Als pathetic play brings even them down.
Popp should be fired period... not just from coaching. He looks like an idiot on the field as if he has no concept of what he is doing. I bet the Als owner wish he sold the team a few years back at this point.
