cabinessence Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 This morning on the rock n roll sports show with Bro Jake and Dave Pratt, Dave claimed Travis Lulay to be one of the top 3 quarterbacks in BC Lions history. Sat, the ever present producer tried in vain to get Pratt to justify his comments. In an episode Pratt be bopped and skatted around the issue and wouldn't answer. He may have later in the show, but yours truly wasn't able to listen to the entire broadcast. So, you the fans, in your minds, lets see who gets the votes. Lui Passaglia was a quarterback at SFU and pulled off arguably one of the best qbesque plays in Lions history in the 1985 Grey Cup final. So, let's get to it, heheheheheh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Flutie Allen Dickenson HM to Joe Kapp. (The punch out of Angelo Mosca almost got him in the top three) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I think Dickenson has to be up there. Pratt is such a tool. He makes such grand all or nothing statements (about players and teams, in all kinds of sports) and does nothing to back them up. He should be gone!

RUPERTKBD Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 So Passaglia (a kicker) is on your list, but the guy voted the all-time best CFL player is not? He didn't play long in BC, but Doug Flutie is absolutely the Leos' best ever QB. BTW: You have your poll set up so that you can only vote for one player.

Well, Passaglia made that amazing move in 1985 to gain a first down. Has to be there! You are correct, Tim Cowan, who is often confused with Doug Flutie made the list. The people have spoken and the switch has been made. That's the kind of guy I am. I listen to the audience and give them what they want and more!! I figured the poll numbers would dictate the top three. You can also write in your votes. We're looking for the general consensus rather than someone's personal top 3 - though both are welcomed. Comments like yours are part of what makes these threads so highly regarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Flutie Flutie Flutie If it can't be that then I'd go: Flutie Dickenson Allen/ Throwin Samoan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had three solid passing seasons, but that consecutive completion record probably makes us remember his career as more significant than it was.

Apple Juice Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Only started watching BC Lions football when Dickenson was on the Lions and didn't watch anyone else before him so Dickenson is my number 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whcanuck Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm a Rider fan but still i follow the CFL and with the Riders rivalry with the Lions I've definitely seen some good QBs play for B.C. Doug Flutie, imo and I'm sure a lot of other people's opinions too, is the best player in CFL history. Even though he was only in BC two years he was awesome, just awesome. Then I'd say Damon Allen and Dave Dickenson. Printers was great that one year, but he didn't have the longevity of Allen or Dickenson. Plus those two guys each won at least one Grey Cup with B.C., (Printers kinda got screwed by Buono though when Wally started Dickenson in the '04 Grey Cup instead of Printers, who was league M.O.P. that year). I agree with the above poster, Danny Mac deserves honorable mention too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 People forget that Matt Dunigan also spent a year as a Leos' QB. When you consider the body of work over his career (2 Grey Cups, 3 All-Star selections) he would earn an HM on my list as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story he tells of the result of 1 of his many concussions is heart rending and scary as hell. He got hit so hard during an away game he had to stay overnight at the local hospital for observation. He checked himself out of the hospital, called a cab, got to the airport and flew home. Gets to his house, gets to the door and begins to cry...... when he realizes he doesn't know/remember how to use his keys to open his door.
