Im happy JJ is not afraid to make the big changes to get this team back on track.

[@ittestnow]

As a life long Esks fan my advice to Ford, request a trade. You are only young once and it is obvious you are not going to get a fair shake from the coaching staff in Edmonton

[@CT-qu6bh]

Why is Ford on a short leash? He’s just a bit rusty after coming back from injury. MBT lost 7 games in a row and didn’t score any points against MTL in the second half. MBT is nothing but inconsistent and he gets a longer leash. Ford started the win streak before he got injured. MBT played against weaker teams and won. He won’t win against top tier team. Stupid coach! No, you’re not a fair coach. BC and Ottawa stay committed to Rourke and Brown even though they struggle at times because the coaches know that they are the present and future QBs for their teams. You don’t seem to understand that Jackson. Hope you don’t come back next year.

Stop riding Tre Ford 💀 One man ain't gonna make it all better.

[@CT-qu6bh]

@@tommy.m7102 so Ricky Ray, Warren Moon, Mike Reilly, and Tracy Ham didn’t make the team better is what you’re saying? The QB position is pivotal. When Ray was traded, we had Jyles, Joseph and Nichols. Those were the dark days. Oh yeah, how about Cornelius from last year. Tre throws and running game was good before he got injured. He just needs to shake off the rust. Yeah he can change the momentum of the game with his athleticism and football IQ.

[@tommy.m7102]

​@CT-qu6bh Tre Ford is great in his known way bud and doesn't even compare to those greats. All those QBs were great because they had great teammates working with them. You wanna win games, everyone both offensive and defensive need to be clicking. Tre & MBT are good QBs and so Is many on the team great pieces... Everyone loves football, but football loves no one. Can always go back to Chris Jones if JJ is so bad 💀

100% agree, this is a ridiculously reactionary move by jarious
