    MOS decided it's 2024 - time for change.

    Dunbar would be an adequate replacement if Schoen lands elsewhere

    Agreed.  He would have good numbers but we'd be a .500 football team
    In 2015 for the Argos and 2016 for the Redblacks - he played some of his better ball
    Yet, a 41 year old Burris had to come off the bench and take over the Redblacks in 2016

    I like this signing. He was a little exuberant at times (a couple of ill-advised penalties) but he has a motor and a nose for the ball.

    Another guy who can be serviceable, with good pieces around him.  Plenty of grey cups have been won that way.
    But alas...the Riders have hardly any...

    It's worth a try - the defendant has deep pockets. If she irritates them enough, they might give her a settlement.

    Had to look it all up to be sure... that my memory wasn't failing me...
    Allen had a career 56.3% completion rate and an 83.something QBR. Those don't look like HoF numbers at a glance. He had a HoF career, but few QBs get so many years to fill out their stats.
    Allen's completion % improved and trended upwards late in his career... without a string of later seasons of 60%+ his career accuracy would be downright brutal.
    Clearly his running ability buoyed his... less than stellar passing skills. He parlayed his athleticism and ever-growing experience into a very long career that allowed his passing yardage and TDs to pile up. It takes nothing away from his illustrious career to say his longevity helped him pile up the stats.
    All that said, it is unforgettable how  Allen went off in his 40s, he sat a lot of critics down with his Grey Cup MVP followed by 5000 yards and CFL MOP the next season. He's the exception that proves some guys still can get it done well past the usual expiration date

    I particularly appreciated what he accomplished when he was older. Played within his limitations, aware that he had a good Argo team around him.  As has been said, a kid like Ford could do that, given the training.

    I see similarities between MOS and Campbell, like being tough and stubborn, but there’s no way O’Shea would ever go for 2 in that situation.  No chance.  He’s way too conservative.  He kicks the convert every time there.

    Sure he can but Allen knew more about the game in general than Ford does now at the same time in their careers. Ford needs quality coaching  from Jarious Jackson to catch up.

    I recall a younger Damon Allen also taking off after his first or second read.
    The 'savvy vet' version of Allen played more along the lines of what you describe

    I think that's a good comparison.  Teams put the right pieces around Damon Allen, and won championships with him - even at 42 or whatever it was.
    No one asks how you won a championship (unless you're the 2007 Riders).

    The Argos generally have a pretty decent OL. It'll be interesting to see how MBT fares elsewhere.
