LeFevour Out For 2014 Season?

The Spec is reporting that Ticats quarterback Dan LeFevour may be out for this season with a possible torn ACL. That's obviously not good with former starter Zach Collaros still out with a concussion.

Obviously LeFevour being out is unfortunate. LeFevour was putting up good rushing and passing yards although the Cats weren't winning many games along the way. Now the Cats have to go with third stringer Jeremiah Masoli as their starter, provided Collaros doesn't come back early. Masoli hasn't looked terrible when he's been in, although his interception late in the last game pretty much ended any chance of a Ticat comeback.

To be honest, at the start of the season, Masoli was probably one of the better third stringers in the league, but it is still tough for the Ticats. Hopefully running back C.J. Gable can come back and take some of the pressure off Masoli from needing to pass every down, although Gable's rushing numbers have been nothing special this year.

Certainly for a 1 and 6 team like the Ticats this isn't good news.

Ticats Announce that Jeremiah Masoli to Start as Quarterback in Calgary

Just saw on Twitter that the @ticats have announced that Jeremiah Masoli will start at quarterback this week in Calgary for the injured Zach Collaros. So Dan LeFevour is now behind the biblically named Masoli on the depth chart, although given Kent Austin's predilections for multiple quarterbacks and the possibility of Masoli sucking in Cowtown, I'm sure we'll see LeFevour at some point.

Statistically I'm not sure that starting Masoli makes sense. In the second game (in the first game, neither threw a pass), Masoli was 5 for 15 for 118 yards with a TD and a pick. LeFevour was 8 for 11 for 70 yards with a pick. However Masoli fumbled three times versus only once for LeFevour. Masoli did rush twice for 32 yards though versus six rushes for LeFevour for 27 yards.
