I am far from Jake Maiers biggest fan, but I am not sure Tommy Stevens is the answer. he has shown zero ability to throw the ball at all, let alone at the level of a CFL QB needs to. I think the real problem is having him as the back-up so there is no viable option behind Maier rather than not playing him. I guess it might be worth it to see if an option style offense could work with Stevens.
DD has always been incredibly frustrating with his conservative play calling even when we were dominating the league. I think he needs to give up at least one if not two of the OC, HC, GM positions. I don't want him fired as I am not sure there are many better options out there and probably zero options that would be better that aren't already working and wouldn't come here. Although if he truly thinks Maier is a viable option at QB and isn't just saying it because he has no other option right now then I would be fine with him going.
The team has more issues than just QB, the O-Line is a disaster, the receivers are ok not great and I think the D-Line similarly ok but no studs especially at DE. But finding the next QB has to be the main focus and I think that is going to have to come from outside the league as there aren't any guys on other teams that seem ready for a breakout or that would be good options to add.
