Throughout the 2014 Canadian Football League season, we have seen 18 different starting quarterbacks. Darian Stewart Broncos Jersey . We started the season with these quarterbacks leading their teams: Kevin Glenn, B.C. Lions (6-7 as the starter) Mike Reilly, Edmonton Eskimos (9-3 as the starter) Bo Levi Mitchell, Calgary Stampeders (10-1 as the starter) Darian Durant, Saskatchewan Roughriders (8-2 as the starter) Drew Willy, Winnipeg Blue Bombers (6-8 as the starter) Zach Collaros, Hamilton Tiger-Cats (5-3 as the starter) Ricky Ray, Toronto Argonauts (5-8 as the starter) Henry Burris, Ottawa Redblacks (2-11 as the starter) Troy Smith, Montreal Alouettes (1-5 as the starter) We have been introduced to five quarterbacks who made their CFL debuts as starters in 2014. Can you name them? Hamiltons Jeremiah Masoli, debuted on July 18th vs Calgary and lost. (9-20-107yds-2td-1int) Hamiltons Dan LeFevour, debuted on July 28th vs Ottawa and won. (21-30-361-1td-1int) Montreals Jonathan Crompton, debuted on August 29th vs Ottawa and won. (15-25-245-0td-1int) Saskatchewans Tino Sunseri, debuted on September 14th vs Hamilton and lost. (9-21-88yd-0td-1int) Saskatchewans Seth Doege debuted on October 3rd vs Calgary and lost. (3-9-28-0td-3int) The remaining four starters we have seen this season are: Travis Lulay, 357 days after his last start, made his return on August 29 in a bitter-sweet 7-5 victory over Ottawa. In the last minute of play, Lulay re-injured his right throwing shoulder. Tough to watch this recurring nightmare unfold for the talented signal-caller, who just a few years ago, in 2011, was the CFLs Most Outstanding Player for both the regular season and in the Lions Grey Cup victory over Winnipeg. Drew Tate, Calgarys Stampeders fiery and talented signal-caller who is now 2-1 in relief of Bo Levi Mitchell, made his first start of the season on September 21 in a road loss to Montreal. Since then, Tate has settled down and guided the Stampeders to two extremely important West Division victories over the B.C. Lions and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Matt Nichols hopped back into the saddle for the Edmonton Eskimos just in time for the back-to-back Labour Day games vs. their arch rivals, the Calgary Stampeders. Unfortunately, the fifth year quarterback out of Eastern Washington, dropped both contests, moving his record this season as a starter to 0-2. Alex Brink, the fourth year quarterback from Washington State, was the next man up for the Montreal Alouettes when the Troy Smith experiment ended. Brink started two games, the first a loss to Saskatchewan on August 16th and the second start, albeit a brief appearance, was a loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers the following week. Alex is 0-2 as a starter in 2014. Theres only been two quarterbacks to start every game for their respective teams, can you name them? Think ageless and come-from-behind victories. If you said the Ottawa Redblacks Henry Burris and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Drew Willy, you would be bang on! These two warriors/quarterbacks have been able to find a way to overcome injury, adversity and a slew of other obstacles to provide their teams with a level of consistency from the most difficult position to play in all of sport. Who are some other quarterbacks we might see make a start down the stretch in 2014? Well, with Saskatchewan signing the 41-year-old Kerry Joseph this week, hes a good bet. Remember Joseph has won a Grey Cup in 2007 and won or earned the CFLs MOP that season. The team has struggled under centre with two young and inexperienced quarterbacks in Tino Sunseri and Seth Doege since Darian Durant went down in the Banjo Bowl vs Winnipeg. I believe Sunseri has a bright future in this league, but with five games remaining in the regular season, all the pressures that are innately there in Regina and with the West Division so tightly contested, I believe his time to learn the game and lead this team is going to be put on hold for a bit. The move to bring in Kerry Joseph is the right one for a few reasons. As stated before, both Sunseri and Doege are young and inexperienced. If Sunseri had not played so spectacularly in the second half of last weeks tough loss to Calgary, we would be hearing the chants for another young quarterback by the name of Keith Price, first year player from Washington. That would not be fair to the kid to throw him out there at this time of the season. Doege was not ready and it would be more of the same for Price. This has little or nothing to do with their skill set and ability as players, but more to do with a team that has the talent to contend and defend their Grey Cup title with a quarterback that has been there and done that. Its about a quarterback that has been groomed for these situations and one that is capable of handling them. That could be the young and talented Sunseri for a bit longer so that Joseph can get brought up to speed. But look for the veteran Joseph to play a large role sooner than later for the Green Machine, down the stretch. If Drew Willy keeps taking a beating, 54 sacks through the 1st 14 games, and if the Winnipeg Blue Bombers continue to drop games the last third of the season (lost seven of their last eight), I could see the Bombers resting their franchise player. This is all based on playoff contention. If the Bombers do make playoffs, no doubt its Willy. If they continue to go the direction they have been, seeing what Brian Brohm and Robert Marve have would be in order. With that said, I look for Marve to have the biggest upside in the future. Hes explosive and has more tools to suit the Canadian game. B.C. Lions quarterback Kevin Glenn has been getting banged up this season and the Lions are a few more solid hits and or a few sacks away from seeing what first year player John Beck from Brigham Young has to offer. I hope that doesnt happen, but the Lions are just one play away from that scenario. Looking at the rest of the teams that are just one play away from quarterbacks making their debuts in 2014 along with the five we have already seen are: Toronto is one play away from Mitchell Gale, second year player from Abilene Christian or Trevor Harris, third year player from Edinboro. Kinda scary when you think about that! Not to diminish these two young quarterbacks abilities, but the drop-off would be astronomical. What about in the Nations Capital? After the loss of Thomas Demarco on August 24th with a torn ACL, the Redblacks were one play away from Danny OBrien, first year player from Catawba. GM Marcel Desjardins went out and found an insurance policy, fifth year veteran from Purdue, Joey Elliott. Smart move! In Hamilton, with the loss of backup quarterback Dan LeFevour for the rest of the season, the options for Kent Austin in a back-up role are now Stephen McGee, first year player from Texas A&M (actually he was in Hamilton last season and knows offensive coordinator Tommy Condells playbook) and already mentioned Jeremiah Masoli, third year quarterback from Mississippi. So there you have it, a look at whos been in, whos in and who quite possibly could be in down the stretch. Bet we will see a few more before all is said and done! Ready Break!!! Chris Harris Jr Jersey .C. -- Kemba Walker said the most notable transformation between this years Charlotte Bobcats and teams of the past is now they expect to win games. Duke Ihenacho Jersey . Kekuta Manneh unleashed a 25-yard bomb that even the cat-like Jaime Penedo couldnt catch up to. Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - It doesnt matter whos at the helm for the Washington Nationals, they just keep winning somehow. The Nationals put aside managerial problems to claim a 9-5, 14-inning marathon victory over the Chicago White Sox and win for the 12th time in 13 games overall. On Thursday, the abrupt resignation of manager Jim Riggleman -- due to future contract issues -- led to bench coach John McLaren being tabbed interim manager before Fridays game. Then, during the game, reports that Davey Johnson would soon be named the manager surfaced. However, the problems were all washed away for the time being after Alexei Ramirezs throwing error in the 14th allowed Brian Bixler to score the go- ahead run. The Nationals plated three more runs to seal the victory, but earlier they didnt make it easy for themselves. They saw a three-run lead erased in the ninth and lost the lead two more times during extra innings -- and this was all after McLaren was ejected for arguing an overturned call at first base. That was a very interesting game to say the least, Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. Both teams battled back. Obviously a great win for us and a great baseball game. Collin Balester (1-0) got the win after tossing the final two innings. The Nationals offense gave Balester and the defense a four-run cushion in the 14th. Bixler started a two-out rally with a single and stole second. He then scampered to home on Ian Desmonds grounder to Ramirez, whose throw to first was in the dirt and rolled near the dugout. The error proved costly, as the bases were loaded after an intentional walk to Jayson Werth. Roger Bernadina hit an RBI single and Zimmerman doubled in two runs. Reliever Matt Thornton (0-4) gave up the four unearned runs to suffer the loss for Chicago, which was coming off its 17th straight interleague series win over the cross-town rival Cubs. They battled, they played all the way through it, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. Some guys were overused a little bit, but theres nothing you can do about it. With all the drama behind their skipper, the Nationalss ended up without one for the final seven innings. Louis Vasquez Broncos Jersey. With two outs in the eighth inning, first baseman Michael Morse pulled his foot off the bag but looked to have applied the tag on Paul Konerko, who was initially called out by first base umpire Mike Estabrook. But the umpires convened and overturned the call. McLaren came charging out of the dugout, and after a heated dispute, he and left fielder Jerry Hairston Jr. were ejected. But the call didnt matter -- Adam Dunn grounded out to end the inning. The Nationals already had a two-run lead from Morses blast in the top of the eighth, and tacked on a run in the ninth to go up 3-0. However, White Sox pinch-hitter Mark Teahen played spoiler with a three-run homer in the ninth, starting the string of three blown save opportunities in four innings for the Nationals bullpen. The Nationals grabbed a 4-3 lead in the 10th when Laynce Nix blasted the ball into the right seats. Todd Coffey came in to replace Drew Storen, who blew his third save of season in the ninth. Coffey didnt do much better, loading the bases with one out. He then hurled the ball into the dirt and it bounced to the backstop, allowing Omar Vizquel to score and tie it back up. Bixler knocked in his first run of the season in the 12th to push the Nationals up by a run, but again the Sox drew even. A.J. Pierzynski belted a two-out solo shot off Tyler Clippard to make it 5-5. There was no scoring in the first seven innings due to the solid work of the two starting pitchers. Both Washingtons Jordan Zimmermann and Chicagos Edwin Jackson tossed seven scoreless innings. Zimmermann gave up six hits while Jackson allowed five and struck out eight. Zimmermann also got some spectacular help from Bernadina, who robbed Dunn of a home run in the seventh inning when he snagged the ball over the fence in straightaway center. GAME NOTES:It was Washingtons first visit to U.S. Cellular Field...Zimmermann posted his 10th straight quality start, a streak that tied a Washington record set by Livan Hernandez in 2005...The White Sox swept a three-game set with the Nats last year. wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap soccer jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap nfl jerseys china ' ' '
