Six weeks into the Canadian Football League season and three things are clear.
1) Montreal Alouettes continue to be the top team in the league
2) The Hamilton TigerCats are the early season surprises and
3) There is no quarterback controversy in Saskatchewan
Head coach Ken Miller made that crystal clear after the Riders fell 35 - 20 to the BC Lions and neither Darian Durant or Stephen Jyles played well enough to get the job done. Believe it or not Anthony Cavillo completed more passes in a 25 - 0 win over the Toronto Argonauts then either Durant or Jyles even attempted.
Durant was 10 for 19, Jyles 7 for 13. Thats 32 pass attempts. Cavillo completed 35 passes out of 43 attempts for 395 yards. Heres how the other winning quarterbacks did. Quinton Porter 26 for 37 as Hamilton stopped Edmonton and Henry Burrris 27 for 38 and 356 yards as Calgary topped Winnipeg.
But according to Ken Miller.
In my mind there isn't any quarterback controversy at this time,''
There may not be a controversy, at least in Miller's mind, but there doesn't appear to be a quarterback who can get the job done. To my mind another thing is crystal clear. If the Riders don't upgrade the quarterback position, there may not be a playoff trip. This weekend the Riders got some help from Hamilton to stay in a pack at the top of the CFL west but its also precariously close to the bottom of the pile as well.
After six weeks Saskatchwan, Calgary and Edmonton all share first place with three wins and three losses and the BC Lions are just a game back at 2 - 4.
Next week its Hamilton at Saskatchewan, Calgary at Edmonton, BC at Toronto and Montreal at Winnipeg.
Saskatchewan will be in tough vs Hamilton, Calgary and Edmonton could go either way and you have to think BC will top Toronto.
