Mike

I don't know. Not a big deal or whatever, but I certainly wouldn't say it's likely. It's probably a realistic option, but I don't see anything in there that would make me think it's necessarily the primary or likely one. EDIT: just for the record, I don't doubt that maybe it IS the primary option. I just don't get that from the tone of this article.

I would assume the plan would include trying to go after Drew Willy too or bring in a prospect of our own, but I still want Collaros. How are we going to win a late season home game in frigid Winnipeg with Burris as our QB? By the way, I don't think this thread title is that accurate. Penton says a source told him three people think Burris goes to Winnipeg. What three people? Are those three people more in the know than the people who form the group that allows Penton to make the statement that "the thinking is Collaros will head to Winnipeg"? This article just seems like another attempt by Penton to stir things up. I'll wait until February 15.

I'd like to see Gilmore back just because I'm convinced he'd turn into a beast if he actually got some PT.

I realize that. My question was did he re-sign during the season, or originally sign for 3 years? Dude, get over it. He's not a pending free agent. pretty sure he signed for 3.

Hard to disagree, but every team needs those guys.

slow clap.

My biggest knock is that he's got a silly last name.

I know not everyone will be a fan of this, but I am. Good resigning.

This logic doesn't fly with me. We should be worried about the prospect of a player going to the NFL in 2-3 years? What are the odds he makes it? And on the flip side of your proposal, what's to say Drew Willy doesn't get a NFL look if he's successful with our club?

2014 season slogan?

And that's the real sticking point isn't it .. as much as the fans deserve and need a winner .. we also need to look for sustainability .. to have a long term view of what to do at that position .. are we patient enough to see any plan through to fruition? We as in management? or we as in the fans. Because I think each question has a different answer.

We have a couple things to attract a QB.... namely a starting job and an open checkbook. this defeatist attitude is crazy. "what do we have to attract a QB" Gimme a break.

What number is above first?

We shouldn't be basing our decision off who will be better today behind our OL (which, btw, is NOT as bad as many think) We should be basing our decision off who will be the best QB for us long term.

??? Nothing wrong except that he could have at least tried to play the field. Anyway, with what we now know about Mack, I don't think it would have mattered anyway, Seleepy Joe wouldn't have got the job done anyway, even if Reilly had given us a shot at signing him in FA. I think that players need to look at all options and do what is best for them. In that regard I will be sad if Collaros signs with someone else, but I'll understand that he and his agent weighed all options and did what was best. I didn't get that feeling with Reilly, I think he had tunnel vision for Edmonton, and look how that worked out, the guy is lucky to be alive right now. Of course, so is Max Hall. I'm sure he did decide to do what is best for him. I just don't think he needed to hear a formal offer from Winnipeg (or any other club) to decide.

Nothing wrong with Reilly doing that. Would you be calling Reilly stupid if we were the only team he looked at? Doubtful.

Considering the post history of TUP, I'm not so sure he was kidding.

Since when do fans dictate front office personnel decisions?

JFG is primarily a ST guy, wouldn't read too much into what position these guys fill on the depth chart.

Wouldn't THAT be interesting ...

If by punishing, you mean raking in the dough with the fines. It's all about the money for Goodell and what Sherman did absolutely makes the league money.

Most Hated Football Player in the US certainly doesn't make you a bum. And it makes money for the NFL. Whether they'll admit it or not, the NFL owners must love what Sherman did yesterday.

hope O'Shea will be able to convinced him to come here as our QB coach. no thanks. can you explain why Mike? First of all, if Calvillo isn't going to coach in Montreal he's not going to coach anywhere this year. Secondly, he's never been famous for his interest in helping other quarterbacks. He's probably one of the most selfish quarterbacks in the history of the CFL and I'm not sure he really has what it takes to be a positional coach. Smart enough to be a coordinator, but I don't think he fits the "teacher" bill O'Shea is looking for. First reason makes sense. Second reason not sure. I thought I read it somewhere that he helped the 3 youngsters in Montreal re the CFL game. I think Calvillo is a hell of a QB, but his desire to finish every blowout and neglect the developmental reps for his backups is a huge red flag for me.
