The Montreal Alouettes continue their season with impressive resilience, despite an exceptional situation at the quarterback position.
The Montreal squad has had to rely on four different starters since the start of the campaign, a challenge that could have derailed many a CFL team.
Yet the results remain solid and the position in the standings reflects a remarkable consistency.
Former CFL player and Journal de Montréal columnist Marc Calixte points to the resilience of this group, despite the obvious pitfalls.
“All in all, this is a very good position in the standings for the Alouettes, considering the fact that they had to use four different players at the starting quarterback position,” via the Journal de Montréal.
The analyst even drew a striking parallel with the world of hockey, to better illustrate the magnitude of the situation.
“Imagine if the Canadiens were deprived of Samuel Montembeault, Jakub Dobes and Jacob Fowler next season,” said Calixte.
A comparison that puts into perspective the colossal challenge facing Montreal this year.
A team that refuses to fold
Despite this challenge, the Alouettes have demonstrated enviable depth and solidarity.
The coaching staff has been able to adapt to every change behind center, while the defense maintains a high level of execution.
This ability to overcome adversity testifies not only to the team's character, but also to its collective maturity.
With several weeks left on the calendar, the Alouettes' performance could become a model of resilience in the CFL. If the stability at quarterback continues, Montreal could well turn this season of adversity into a true success story.
