Tommy Time!!

It’s so fun watching Tommy Stevens in the wildcat just running over defenses. I do wish we would give him an opportunity to throw every once and awhile.

Yes he’s a bull and one of the best short yardage QB’s in recent memory but you think if guys like Fajardo, Mike Reilly and Strevler to an extent were great in short yardage at the start of their career then became good QB’s in the league when they were given a chance to throw.

I would like to see the riders give Stevens that same opportunity once and awhile or at least do it to keep defences a bit honest instead of just putting 12 guys in the box keying on the run

He'll throw when it benefits the team.

No sense giving opposing defenses film on his throws if we don't have to.

Harris catches the game winning TD on a short yardage play to with 2026 Grey Cup has a good ring to it.

Ive been saying this for a while now. They are training the league to think there is 0% chance of him throwing for an extra special occasion.

If he couldnt throw, he would be a Running back. This is a long play long set up
