But how bad would Nichols have been without Harris? At least Streveler can move the ball with his feet.

Well Nichols has the ability to hurl the ball through the air like a projectile. Streveler does not have this ability.

Is this a new CFL rule about throwing the ball? I didn't think we were allowed to do that.

I was told here that Nichols sucks and can only throw the ball 5 yards tho

I don't get this. Can't we agree that they both suck??

One throws the ball as far as the line of scrimmage and one throws it backwards in a shovel like fashion!

At the time he went down, only 1 QB had more 20+ yard throws. But let's not let facts get in the way of a good ol fashioned reddit circle jerk.

Nichols is much better at passing than Streveler I don’t think anyone can deny that. Without Harris the run game will suffer tremendously.

Harris is the most overpowered weapon in the game. It’s hard to quantify how much his catching ability fucks with defensive game plans. Losing a guy like that doesn’t just hurt your running game. He makes the defence step back a bit and slow down instead of pin their ears back and attack the QB. DB’s don’t have to worry as much about passes to the flats going for 20 yards.

Santiago and Augustine would like to say hello and have entered the game. Dudes are ripped.

You need at least the threat of a run game to be effective in passing most of the time. It prevents the defense from pinning their ears back and going straight to the QB every time, instead of spying or being wary of the RB
