I don't really understand why Darian Durant needs to quarterback the Saskatchewan Roughriders for the final three games when the season is done and he is hampered by a broken foot, but when the team takes the field Friday night in Calgary, he could very well be directing the offense. Durant spoke about it today as did Ken Miller and Cole Bergquist. I was unable to be a part of the Durant scrum as I was speaking to Jerrell Freeman, but Rob Vanstone was and relays the conversation right here
As for Bergquist and Miller, here is what they had to say....

This season has officially been a circus for a while so why doesn't this surprise me.
Has anyone thought that Miller just believes Bergquist can't do the job thus he doesn't want to play him. That's become crystal clear to me.

If Miller believes Bergquist can't do the job, then Miller should be chastised even further for keeping him on the roster for so many years.
And, even if Bergquist can't do the job...does it matter? Risk further damaging Durant?
Hopefully Calgary goes completely off the rails down the stretch and the Riders can bring in Hufnagel to run the show.
I don't agree with this decision. Why risk further injury to DD. He cannot escape pressure as easily, and he could end up with a worse injury and a longer recovery period. Let Cole play with the starters to see what he can do. In training camp and practices, he only goes with the backups. A true test of his abilities would be to let him have live game action. As for Dinwiddie, he has seen action with Winnipeg and with the Riders and he is brutal. I hope he is released after the offseason. Unfortunately, Tillman seems to be the only one who is able to find young QBs. Ex) Harrell, Chase Daniel, Drew Tate to name a few. The first 2 are NFL backups, and the third is now a starter with the Stamps. What does that tell ya.
