'Frustrated' veteran Mitchell to back up Maier for Stampeders against Blue Bombers
The Canadian PressCalgary Stampeders quarterback Jake Maier rushes with the ball during second half CFL football action against the Toronto Argonauts in Toronto on August 20, 2022.
Maier replaced Mitchell for the second half of Calgary's 22-19 road win over the Toronto Argonauts last Saturday. Maier was 14-of-18 passing for 156 yards and an interception as the Stampeders rallied from a 16-10 halftime deficit. It will be the fourth CFL start for the 25-year-old Maier. All three of his previous starts came with Mitchell on the injured list.
"I am obviously frustrated with the decision, any competitor would be," Mitchell wrote. "But … I am a member of this team and I am not above coaching or criticism. "Bo is one of the best teammates I've ever had. I think he's a very misunderstood guy. He's very competitive," Maier said.Linebacker Adam Bighill doesn't expect big changes with Maier under centre.
