Since I don't read the responses to this blog anyway, I figure it's safe to ask this question without being accused of trying to stir up a quarterback controversy. Who should the Riders start at quarterback Saturday against B.C.? It is a legitimate question. Arguably Darian Durant has been the best quarterback that the Riders have put on the field this year. He had back to back 340 yard games through the air and two wins in two starts. It's not fair to blame Michael Bishop for the team's loss to BC last Saturday, but Durant has had the most consistent, hottest hand this season. Of course it won't be an issue unless there is better pass protection this week.

I like what Don Matthews has done in Toronto. He has shown a floundering team who is boss. You can bet that the winningest coach in the CFL didn't have to consult with anyone before deciding to replace Kerry Joseph as starter and replace him with Cody Pickett. In some ways maybe Rich Stubler didn't get the support he needed. There seem to be a divide from head office to the field as to who should play, and plays should be run. Wtih Matthews that's not an issue anymore. That may help.

The Canadian TSX  fell by more than 200 points this morning. Yesterday it was a 500-point plummet. Don't panic though, Prime Minister Stephen Harper says we aren't in a recession. I feel better.

Over and out.
