Yes. He’s very fast and athletic but he also has some intangibles - attitude, moxie. I would try to use him somehow.

Why not.till he proves us wrong he had command in the pre season.

Would love to see a package with him.  Jets just don't seem interested in doing that though.

He's interested or he would not have activated him he just punked.

Would start him over Mike the hype White.  Way more athletic than cardboard Mike.  Has a good arm and has that moxie to make plays out of nothing.  Played well in preseason.  If White bombs in 1st half, does Saleh have the guts to pull him and put in Streveler. Probably not. 

White is a good backup.his role for life.streveler confident freak of nature..

Here's another fact some of you don't seem to know:

Streveler is not, and never will be, a full time, effective QB in the NFL. He's a gimmicky guy who can run some funky plays that you fell in live with because he had a nice day against some other 3rd stringers in an exhibition game no one was actually trying to win.

Not disagreeing but could he be used like Taysom Hill?

I don't think Strev will be active.  Flacco will be the back up.

Saleh has confirmed this Flacco is # 2, Strev # 3. Zach 4 lol.

Wyatt-Hupton on CS-

Chris Streveler

As much as some would love to see it, the Jets are not starting the 4th QB on their depth chart with the three above him all healthy. If the Jets believed that Chris was the 2nd best QB on this roster he’d be the backup to Wilson. Streveler has 25 passes in his NFL career and to be fair to him he’s completed 68.0% of them with 1 TD and 1 INT.

He completed 72.7% of his passes in the pre-season with 5 touchdowns and 1 interception, and by all accounts, he was pretty impressive in practice as well. I saw a bit of Chris in Canada and he does have some serious talent and if you read enough you’ll know that people saw him as a natural leader.

Top 10 Quarterbacks in CFL History

Top 10 QB's!

Mike Goodpaster

Publish Date: 02/15/2021

 

10). Russ Jackson:

Jackson was the dominant CFL quarterback of the 1960s. He was honoured many times during his CFL career. He won the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player Award in the 1963, 1966, and 1969 seasons. He was also a four-time winner of the CFL’s Most Outstanding Canadian Award (1959, 1963, 1966, 1969 seasons). He was a six-time Eastern Conference All-Star quarterback (1962, 1963, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969) and the CFL All-Star quarterback in the 1966, 1968, and 1969 seasons.

9). Dieter Brock: 

After college graduation, Brock signed a one-year contract with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and was a starting quarterback in 1975. Nicknamed “The Birmingham Rifle”, Brock is the only Blue Bombers player to win back-to-back CFL Most Outstanding Player awards in the 1980 and 1981 CFL seasons. In 1981, Brock broke Sam Etcheverry’s 1956 record of 4,723 passing yards with 4,796 yards. Brock started his illustrious pro football career as a little used back-up quarterback for the Bombers in 1974. That season the team traded away their aging star passer Don Jonas to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for the much younger Chuck Ealey. About midway through the 1975 season Brock became the starter and that resulted in Ealey being sent to the Toronto Argonauts.

In 1983, Brock was traded to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for quarterback Tom Clements. This trade led to an exciting Grey Cup in 1984, as the Tiger-Cats and Blue Bombers faced each other in the championship game. Brock’s Tiger-Cat team lost the game to Clements’s Blue Bombers and Brock ended his career with many accomplishments, but without a Grey Cup victory.

8). Matt Dunigan: 

Dunigan broke into the CFL in 1983 with the Edmonton Eskimos. His rookie season, he backed up Warren Moon. Prior to the 1984 CFL Season, Moon left for the NFL’s Houston Oilers and the Eskimos became Dunigan’s team. He led the Eskimos to back-to-back Grey Cup appearances in 1986 and 87, winning in 1987. He had to watch most of the game from the bench due to injury. His backup during this time was another CFL legend in the making, Damon Allen

Played on multiple teams and had success everywhere he went.

7). Danny McManus:

A prototypical dropback passer (he ran for just 426 yards during a 17-year career; do the math), McManus passed for 53,255 yards, the fourth-best total in CFL history, and 259 touchdowns. He also won the Grey Cup three times, with Winnipeg (’90), B.C. (’94) and Hamilton (’99).

6). Tracey Ham: 

He passed for 2840 yards and ran for another 628. In 1989 he won the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player Award in leading the Eskimos to a 16-2 record, throwing for 4366 yards on 268 completions out of 517 attempts with 30 touchdowns to 18 interceptions. Plus Ham became the first CFL passer to rush for over 1000 yards with 1005 on 125 carries and with 10 touchdowns. Unfortunately for the Eskimos they lost the division final to the 9-9 Saskatchewan Roughriders, who went on to win the Grey Cup.

In 1990 Ham added another 1000 yard rushing season with 1096 and passed for 4286 yards leading the Eskimos to the Grey Cup. However the team was handily beaten by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 55-10. The next year Ham ran for 998 yards and passed for 3862. Ham endured an injury plagued season in 1992 but played well enough to pass for 3655 yards and to run for 655. He moved on to the Toronto Argonauts for 1993 and suffered through a 3-15 record. He threw for only 2147 yards and ran for 605, struggling to adapt to the Run & Shoot offense.

With the CFL expanding into the United States, Ham joined the Baltimore team in 1994. He gained his last plus 4000 yard passing season with 4348 and ran for 613 yards. Ham led the team, not yet named the Stallions, to the Grey Cup, where they were defeated by the Lions. Finally, in 1995, Ham led the Stallions to the only Grey Cup win by a US-based team in a 37-20 defeat of the Calgary Stampeders; he won Grey Cup MVP honours for his efforts. In the regular season he passed for only 3357 yards and ran for 610.

With the demise of the US-based teams, the core of the Stallions franchise was transferred to Montreal where they became the third incarnation of the Alouettes. The team’s offense was geared to the running attack, especially when Mike Pringle returned from the NFL midway through the 1996 season. Ham would spend two seasons as the clear-cut starting quarterback, but in 1998 he began to share passing duties with Anthony Calvillo and he retired after the 1999 season.

5). Ron Lancaster:

Lancaster was the first QB in CFL history to top 50,000 career passing yards — Lancaster was one of the biggest winners in CFL history. During 16 seasons with Saskatchewan, Lancaster won 170 games and the Green Riders had just one losing season, his last. And that, not his diminutive stature, was the true measure of Lancaster.

4). Damon Allen:

He could beat you with his arm or his legs. He was the league’s career passing leader when he retired in 2007. But he’s also third on the league’s career rushing list, with nearly 12,000 yards, and has some of the game’s best runners looking up at him. Allen’s four Grey Cup wins, with three different teams, puts him near the top of the class.

Damon Allen Tribute

3). Warren Moon:

It’s scary to think what Moon might have done had he stuck around the CFL more than six years before heading off to the NFL. With the Edmonton Eskimos, Moon won five consecutive Grey Cup titles (1978-82). Granted, he sometimes shared the gig with Tom Wilkinson (another Canadian Football Hall of Famer) but, sheesh, anyone who remembers the Eskimos of that era knows Moon was The Man.

Warren Moon Highlights

2). Doug Flutie:

Flutie was considered to small to play QB in the NFL. He started changing that perception when he signed with the B.C. Lions in 1990. Eight years later, when Flutie headed back to the NFL, he practically owned the CFL record book. Six times he was named the league’s most outstanding player. And he didn’t just put up gaudy numbers, he got results. After struggling in his first season, Flutie went 99-27 over the next seven years and won the Grey Cup three times. ‘Nuff said.

1). Anthony Calvillo:

Calvillo is the best of the best in so many categories, he could do everything on a football field and did it for a very long time.

Why isn’t he still in the CFL? Is it better financially to be a PS player in the NFL?

Not sure what NFL practice squad players make, but starting CFL QBs (I think) make between $300-$600k a year.

Streveler wasn't a starter in Canada. So he probably wasn't making that kind of money.

Not asking to start yet asking for a chance to help.his opposite style and running ability would force defence to react

I’m told the Jets were offered multiple first round picks for Chris Streveler and turned it down.

Thanks ZACK.

Third string - sure. Gimmicky and funky - not so much. Go back and look at his tape in preseason and also look at the Winnipeg championship season tape. It’s seems legit. Not saying he’s a Brady or Marino at all. But he got something going.

I hear you

He was not a great CFL QB.  His main feature in the cfl was the same as here, he could run.

A running QB is a weapon in any league and  moreso in the NFL than it ever was so I'd like the jets to be creative enough to use a guy like that.

You mean like Fields?

[Beerfish]

Yes, Fields should be a Tebow like package QB as well much like Streveler.

Streveler can't throw well enough to be a starter in this league, Fields has not shown that either.  Bears dead last in the league in passing yards per game, 128 the next worse is Atlanta at 154, the dreadufl Zac Wilson lead Jets 201 per game

It seems like such a no-brainer.  A little wrinkle to keep Defenses honest, and to help Mike White out.  Akin to old Brad Smith back in the day.

This O needs help, from anywhere we can get it.  I think a few Strev plays would help.  At least have him on the field a few times, amke D's have to think a bit, make them react to us for a change.  

I agree

He could either start in the CFL or have a chance to play in the NFL. I would take that gamble if I was in his position.

Plus, he's on probably the most optimal team to be a PS QB on. 

He is now. I'd start him next week if Mike White doesn't look any better than preseason. Streveler at least showed heart and looked good with no knowledge of the offense. I had more fun watching him on any given play than Zach who made me question again why I bother with this team and that was before his press conference.

[WeCantDraftGoodQBs]

I don’t believe he is our answer at QB but I like the Brad Smith idea of putting him in occasionally to help with the run. Our running game is not the same without Breece Hall. I’m not worried for today’s game against the Bears, but next week against the Vikings we probably will need all the help we can get in our running game to help our QB.
