At the same time, what kind of blue idiot on a second and long when you know that the pressure is coming and they're blitzing 7 calls all 9's or deep routes, you're getting your QB killed. Its stupid play calling, and Reilly gets the red finger of shame for not audibling out of that.
Over the last 3/4 years there's been a lot of love for Reilly over BLM (a lot being bitter Riders fans) as best QB in the league but I think we are starting to see the value of Mitchel's quick decision making and release. Quarterbacks with quick releases take a lot of pressure off offensive lines and make them look better than they are and I think that has happened to an extent in Calgary. I just don't think Reilly is as complete a QB as he's still looking to throw those 50/50 deep balls and he doesn't have the tall receivers to bring those in or the line to give him the time. He's going to have to adapt to throwing more short/intermediate or he's not going to make it through this season.
