As for the usage of Jerome Messam - what do you expect when you have the best QB in the CFL behind centre. BLM can thread the needle. You can be sure Messam signed with this team knowing its a throw first offence.

Good win tonight. Feel bad for Drew Willy. He really needs a fresh start somewhere else.
Sorry, but the criticism is 100% warranted. His play calling has been a big
Part of 2 blown wins in only 4 games this season.

There's no arguing that he was a great player, but that doesn't automatically make you a great coach. How did coaching work for Wayne Gretzky? I don't think anyone is calling for his head, but the jury is still out and there are some valid concerns. I'm sure he'll get used to it, but it hasn't been pretty to date.
