The Saskatchewan Roughriders may have a job posting for a quarterback after Friday night's 24-0 loss to Edmonton.

Tino Sunseri was pulled in the third quarter, but his replacement Seth Doege wasn't that much better. Head Coach Corey Chamblin is still looking over the video from the shutout loss.

“I'll look at it again and see who has the better feel for it. It's not like either guy was different, one was 5 for 11 and the other was 6 for 12. To me that's the same guy.”

Chamblin says for now they can only prepare with the three quarterbacks they have.

“This is where we are now and this is the hand we're dealt. However we handle this will determine how we finish the season.”

The Riders head coach is not ready to name a starter for next week's game against Calgary. He didn't rule out the team looking for another quarterback, though he's leaving that up for management to decide.

The Riders could be without receiver Taj Smith next week as the receiver had his left arm in a sling due to a shoulder injury suffered late in Friday's loss.
