I don't think it much matters Bill. I haven't heard anything yet but I think we're pretty much down to 5th stringer Zac Champion. I don't know what the status is with Jackson and Lulay but I think Printers and Pierce are done for the year. Rumour has it Printers has a broken thumb on his throwing hand and Pierce re-seperated his throwing shoulder. If Jackson and Lulay can't go then BC may not even have a backup to dress for any playoff run.
Ulrich was speculating that Lulay may be cleared to play. Printers was thought to have a similar injury (thumb ligaments) as to what hampered him in Hamilton last year, while I've heard dislocated collarbone for Buck. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Leos put in a call to a guy like Ben Sankey, who's played under Buono before. The Argos have dressed only two QBs most of the year, and the Esks did it on Friday (Zabransky unable to go because of flu), but neither team has been snakebit at the position to the degree that the Lions have been.
Ryan Leaf, who now lives in Vancouver doing sales for a high end fishing lodge, was on hand to present a prize on Friday... just in case things get too desperate.
Lions will definitely have to go to more of a "distributor" role for their QB if Printers can't go. They've got some decent weapons and need to do a better job of getting them the ball in space to make plays. Of course, job number one is to shore up the run defence, though I seem to remember a pretty good rebound after Winnipeg ate their lunch earlier in the year.
