Yes. I do. Mostly because the argument that is brought forth by the majority of the people who hold that opinion, including yourself, is largely based on emotions.

Yeah, Montreal doesn't have BC's first. BC has Montreal's first.

I don't want Burris in any situation, to be honest. If there was a situation out there that could land us assets for Willy while we still retained a quality backup QB in some way or another, I'd consider supporting the idea of trading Drew. Is that situation out there? I don't see it. The ONLY situation that I can see presenting itself is a scenario where we basically do a three way trade with Toronto/Montreal Toronto gives up: assets, gets: Drew Willy Winnipeg gives up: Drew Willy, gets: half the assets from Toronto, Kevin Glenn, cap relief to bolster their roster elsewhere Montreal gives up: Kevin Glenn, gets: half the assets from Toronto, cap relief, an opening to boost Vernon Adams/Rakeem Cato up the depth chart and invest in the future

I can't help but chuckle that some folks can't imagine the idea of Drew Willy being an effective starter ever again even knowing that the best QB mind in the CFL seems to think he can.

Do your own investigating. It's out there.

... they offered him that much

That's the issue.

This doesn't surprise me at all. It makes perfect sense. Toronto would be a good fit for Drew.

I honestly never thought there would've been a market for Willy and his contract. I would have to suspect it's pretty much limited to Toronto at this point.

On Twitter I can't post the tweets right now, but if someone could look them up and share, that'd be awesome. He breaks down the details re: Bombers and Willy situation

Again ... not the CFL

Apparently it's a $250 Moores gift card and a 1 in 20 shot at the grand prize.

Took down first place in the country this week

You're losing it Ripper. Not as much as the Riders. But you're losing it.

You do realize everyone in the CFL has serious questions about their something or other, right? That's why they're here. If you think Smith hasn't shown anything this year, it pretty much tells me you haven't been watching the games he's played in. It's not his fault he was playing with a QB who couldn't do anything with the fact that Smith was getting open downfield basically whenever he felt like it.

Smith is 25 years old. How is he built for "now" Hell, Dressler could play another 5-6 years.

I don't want to debate it at all because it's such a ridiculous premise that it doesn't even warrant discussing. You wanna talk about developing a younger player and how that fits your rebuild better? Great, Ryan Smith has more experience, is better and is very close to the same age (younger than Holley, older than Collins) Veteran presence that your team is sorely lacking? Clarence Denmark or Weston Dressler Oh and I guess the fact that their production is better too makes them better options. What's to debate? I'd be curious to hear if Durant would rather have Collins or Dressler. Then again, I already know the answer.

I said it when we signed him, if we had Medlock last year, we would've made the playoffs.

I'd be so mad if that happened to us but I was laughing my ass off at Bond last night. Give that man an award.

Ripper told me today on Riderfans.com that he'd rather have Holley and Collins than any one of Denmark, Smith or Dressler.

Eventually we're going to need to get better output from our offense whether it's the tough thing to say around here right now or not. Nichols got it done when it mattered, but if he had of gotten it done earlier in the game, this one might not have been even close. You shouldn't go +6 in the turnover game and win by 14. You should be stomping teams by 20, 30 points when you get that many short fields. I like what Nichols is doing right now, but I truly don't believe it's sustainable. I'm not saying Willy is the answer, but he's going to need to get a look at some point. Then again, maybe once Dressler/Smith are back, Nichols can show us some more offense as well.

I'd rather Loffler play on the edge like that and take those 15 yards every once in a while.

It's basically what John Chiles did. Off the radar for a bit and then got scooped by another team. Clever move. I remember being surprised at the time that he was even on the radar.

Or a hospital.

I would like the delay of game idea if the officials were even semi-good at getting the calls consistent.
