Meanwhile, Wes Cates and Nik Lewis said some mean things about Cody Fajardo and it's got Rider Nation in a tizzy...

They are right but when you look around the league how many teams have better starting QB's? Not Edmonton, Toronto, Hamilton, Montreal, or Ottawa and you can argue him and Bo are pretty comparable right now as neither can throw downfield and at least Fajardo can take off and run with the ball. The league is in a bit of a spot where the QB play overall just isn't very good as outside of Winnipeg and BC, every team would like to upgrade at the starting position.

No it hasn’t. His article is just repeating what rider fans and Regina media have been saying for a long time. Fajardo has never been elite and the holes in his game have been an issue since day 1. Much like Bo, many of the warts are covered up by winning games.

If anything, he’s in danger of getting run out of town, especially as his play gets worse and worse.

Michael Ball @therealballsy who is the voice of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and host of 620 CKRM Sports Cage is having a twitter meltdown. A sampling of posts over at the Rider fan board is slightly more level headed.

I think if there was any legitimate threat coming from the backup(s) in Sask then Fajardo would already be seeing reduced playing time... but as it stands and has been the case over the past few seasons, there's simply not a better option, so he's "fine" for now. Having some stellar receivers has gone a long way to make him look more than fine often as well.

I'm guessing a massive ticket sale for Labour Day



OR they're bringing back the Cono Cup

If this is it, the hype generation is just embarrassing
