the lions say they will not trade vernon adams. how can they make two starting quarterbacks work? when jackie parker and johnny bright were dual threats for the eskimos , bright was also a running back. is there any strategy that can make this scenario work?

I don't see it either Joe. Barring injury, VA will never start a game for the Lions this season.

Calgary had both Garcia and Flutie at one point.  If both guys are mature and get along well, I don't see how it can't work.

but how would they be deployed, half a game each or split starts or both be on the field at once?

Two players capable of starting is not too unusual. The Lions are fortunate to have both Adams and Rourke. It is a luxury they can afford for the remainder of this season.

 

Assuming he is remains under contract VA will likely be traded in the off-season.

don't know but i did learn that the cfl legend jackie parker played for3 seasons, early in his career for the b.c. lions.

I was watching a College Football Game a couple days ago and the analyst was Andre Ware who was a QB and spent 1 Season with the B.C. Lions back in 1996

 .And prior to Moon the Esks had Wilkinson and Lemmerman as a one/two punch at quarterback. Did you know Wilkie used to play for the Lions before the double E.

Isn’t there already a Lions/CFL thread?

Well, we did have Kent Austin and Danny Mac back in the early/mid 90s. Oh yea...And we won the Grey Cup in '94 with those two QB's. Go figure, huh!
