With Lawler going to the Elks.and Trevor Harris going to Montreal that leaves us lookingcdy Fajardo was injured recently and Harker went in and played half a ga ma e and didn't lookout of place a how about Isaac Harker?. L
Good completion percentage for Harker going 70 for 97 (72.2%) but also very high interception percentage with 5 of his 27 incompletions being completions to the other team. He had 0 TDs to go with the 5 INTs.
Over in the rectangular province, as is the norm for the backup, going back to the start of 2019 when Collaros was their Week 1 starter Rider fans were giddy that Harker was going to be the "next one". If I recall some were upset when Fajardo got the nod over him to start in Week 2 after Collaros got hurt. In the final game last year with Fajardo getting the night off Harker underwhelmed with 16 for 23 for 150 yards with 2 picks. As a result 3rd stringer Mason Fine who went 5 for 9 for 64 yards 0 TDs and 0 INTs took over Harker's #2 role. Fine would be Fajardo's backup for both playoff games and remains under contract to the Riders while Harker is a FA. Obviously they will bring in at least 3 more QBs but for now all they have is Fajardo and Fine while the prairie schooner has sailed for Harker.
Not surprisingly over there most are now on the Fine bandwagon as being the "next one". There are some who ponder if they shouldn't have a veteran with at least some experience backing up Fajardo in a Grey Cup hosting season. The majority bristle at that idea believing if they lose Fajardo they can rely on Mason Fine to get to them through the season. With yesterday behind us the list of potential vet backups for anybody looking is even shorter. There's Nichols and McGuire who are both exploring opportunities to move on from football and Watford. That's about it although with Harris signing in Montreal it will probably only be a matter of days before Dom Davis is released.
