I missed the first 2 Q's but from what I seen it felt like the chemistry just isn't there...Every time JJ throw's the ball I don't feel as comfortable as i did when Dickenson and even Printers used to make those last min clutching plays to Geroy..I guess I expect too much maybe.

Dickenson was just plain accurate. He could drive 80 yards down the field and go 10/10 passing on 10 plays. That just isn't JJ's style nor is it what he is good at. He's not as accurate and doesn't have the timing like Dickenson has, and is much better when his receivers spread the defensive backs out across the field. He's got the range to be able to air the ball out and that is where he thrives.

Yeah, maybe chemistry isn't there, but if a QB puts the ball in a receiver's hands and he doesn't catch it, it's not the QB's fault.

So when the WR has the ball in his hands and then proceeds to drop it it's poor arm control on the QB? Where does this make any sense, I'm not saying Jarious played well but give me a break there were clearly 3 drops that were definately the fault of the receiver.

What I've noticed is that JJ really "rifles" the ball at his receivers a good deal of the time vs throwing it "to" them. While I'm not slamming him and think he played well, he needs to fine tune that and learn to drop the ball in there at times....also, so many were just beyond the receiver's fingertips. Not so much "drops" - more that he "just missed" his targets.

VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions released receiver Rufus Skillern, linebacker Terna Nande and defensive lineman Jonathan Williams Wednesday, the Canadian Football League team announced.

The Leos also said that import wide receiver Michael Bumpus along with defensive lineman Stephen Williams have signed with the club.

Skillern appeared in 15 games over two seasons with the club, recording 34 receptions for 370 yards and one TD, according to the release. Nande appeared in seven games with the Lions this season after spending 2008 on the Lions’ practice roster, notching seven defensive tackles and eight special teams stops. Williams appeared in the Lions’ home game versus Winnipeg on August 21st, recording two tackles in his CFL debut.

Bumpus attended training camp with the Seattle Seahawks this year where he also played four games during the 2008 season.

The Washington State grad caught five passes for 48 yards with one TD and also returned seven punts for an average return of 9.4 yards.

Stephen Williams attended training camp with the New England Patriots this past summer and was released as part of the club’s final cut-downs earlier this month.

The interior lineman was an undrafted free agent signing of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2006 and appeared in 11 games that season recording six tackles and a fumble recovery.

Williams also spent time on the practice roster of the Carolina Panthers in 2007 and 2008.

and from TSN:

Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - The British Columbia Lions signed wide receiver Michael Bumpus and defensive lineman Stephen Williams on Wednesday.

The team also released wideout Rufus Skillern, linebacker Terna Nande and defensive lineman Jonathan Williams.

Bumpus played four games for the NFL's Seattle Seahawks last year, but didn't make the squad out of training camp in 2009.

Stephen Williams was cut by the New England Patriots out of training camp this year.

Skillern recorded 34 receptions for 370 yards in 15 games for BC spanning the past two seasons. Nande logged seven tackles in seven games with the Lions this year, while Jonathan Williams recorded two tackles in his lone game with the club back on August 21.
