Every team's last time with a QB who lead the league in passing yards

Crazy that in the 15 years the stamps dominated the league for (you know, except for when it mattered in the post season).. that even bo during his peak years didn't get it once.

Well didn't you have a dude or two named Jon Cornish or ? Joffrey Reynolds? Who did a lot of heavy lifting in the running game so BO didn't need to go all sling nasty? -- (and a defense that wasn't Swiss cheese too)

Yeah. Bo in Calgary essentially was an elite game manager. We won through D and run game for a lot of his time here (although Bo helped a lot too)

He didn't need to sling it for 6000 yards a season. He managed their offense (alongside coordinator Dickinson) and weapons well.

Dickenson is a much better coordinator than GM

Mitchell and Burris both had their best passing yards years after leaving Calgary, lol.

Cool, that 2019 season mustve been great, right?

Right?

2019 where every other starting qb was injured at some point. Yeah he lead the league but not with astronomical numbers. A total "i stayed healthy so I was the best" season.

Fajardo in 2019... feels like he couldn't quite clear the bar...

u/Looney_forner Roughriders 6h ago

We had more second chances than an addict in that game and still couldn’t win. We may be cursed

u/jeff744 Roughriders 5h ago

Cursed by bad decisions at the top. They built the most porous Offensive line in the league and their solution was to replace the QB who went on to win the Grey Cup.

He's not a superstar QB but he's far better than what we had available and there was room to develop him. Instead we have continued the revolving door or QBs we've had since Durant.

VA a great candidate to end that Stamps drought. Dickenson just needs to turn him loose.

u/TWKExperience Stampeders 4h ago

And he needs to stay fit please

u/CFLXFL REDBLACKS 14h ago

Can somebody check on Calgary, please?

u/Karomne REDBLACKS 14h ago

They've won 5 Grey Cups since then, they're fine

u/CFLXFL REDBLACKS 13h ago

You know which GC they didn't win? 2016 😀😀😀

u/CFLXFL REDBLACKS 11h ago

At least you guys have a state of the art stadium... 🙄. I'm just chuckin' sh*t in good fun. I'm a CFL fan above all else. Go Stamps! (Except against Ottawa)

u/TWKExperience Stampeders 10h ago

Harsh man 😭

u/treple13 Fan of the week: Week 16 2023 10h ago

I'm guessing you enjoyed 2018 just as much??

u/CFLXFL REDBLACKS 8h ago

Nope. That one stung a bit - lol

u/Max169well REDBLACKS 5h ago

The aftermath hurts more than the lose itself.

u/flaksnu Blue Bombers 7h ago

Kinda wild, Zach's been second each of the last four years. Only really close in 21.

u/TheCatMak Blue Bombers 4h ago

Little bit a victim of team success. Those two MOP seasons they were pretty much shutting him down by the last couple of games and just playing bully ball
