TBURGESS

I watched it and was surprised when he talked about Ford. Is it just me or did he kinda say that he'll go elsewhere for a big contract?

While appearing on "The SportsCage" on Friday, CFL reporter Arash Madani shared an interesting bit of information. "I'm told Cody Fajardo is done in Montreal. Unless he's willing to play for a lot less, they're going to move forward with Davis Alexander there. There are a lot of moving parts at the QB position that have to unfold."

It's still going to be status quo tho.

Willy J was the best Bomber on the field in the GC. Pay the man.

I'd say it's an equally big gamble to stick with Collaros considering he's been on a downward trajectory for a couple of years now.

Quarterback Jake Dolegala (A) Chris Streveler (A) Running back Johnny Augustine (N) Fullback Bailey Feltmate (N) Receiver Kenny Lawler (A) Dalton Schoen (A) Lucky Whitehead (A) Offensive linemen Stanley Bryant (A) Liam Dobson (N) Eric Lofton (A) Patrick Neufeld (N) Defensive linemen Miles Fox (A) TyJuan Garbutt (A) Celestin Haba (A) Willie Jefferson (A) Jake Thomas (N) Linebacker Adam Bighill (A) Brian Cole (A) Shayne Gauthier (N) Tony Jones (A) Kyrie Wilson (A) Defensive back Brandon Alexander (A) Tyrell Ford (N) Nick Hallett (N) Noah Hallett (N) Evan Holm (A) Jamal Parker (A) Specialists LS Mike Benson (N) K Sergio Castillo (A) I underlined the guys I don't care if we bring back.

He's not one of us.

If you think Adams is expensive, what do you think of Collaros' contract?

It's still better than BC's.

Yes, it applies to both. VAJ was behind a horrible O line and an OC who didn't want to run the ball. Behind our O line, with Brady O, he'd have a ton more tools to work with. You can add in Strev's paycheck, but no, you can't replace Zach even up for $350K.

I'd expect them to be in on VAJ or Ford before they'd be willing to pay $600K for Collaros. That being said, I'd be happy to trade Collaros and go younger/cheaper. You're confusing team with QB again.

I don't think that Collaros will knock off a 12-14 win season next year, so that's not the bar I'd worry about. VAJ is the best available QB, behind our O line, he could be amazing. Ford can make every throw and can run like the wind. He'd be my 2nd choice. Alexander showed great promise, but he's got very few reps. Not ready for the starting QB job, but would be a great #2 for either of the above QB's. BTW: Do you think that any team would trade for Collaros and his overly large contract.

If we cut Zac (we won't) we pay him $250K. If we keep him we pay him $600K. The question is... is it worth the sunk $250K to move on from Collaros and go to a younger QB? I'd say it is, but I totally understand folks who say it isn't.

He shouldn't have been on the field at all considering he couldn't grip the ball properly. As he was on the field, give him a quick easy throw to see if he still had enough zip to keep playing.

IMO it's either Schoen or Lawler and I'd take Lawler.

I like that list. I'd add Streveler, Schoen, Gauthier & Whitehead.

Buck called the play. The read took Collaros to the deep throw.

Buck used the same scheme as he did last week. We didn't come up with the bombs this week & he didn't change anything. Why on earth did he call a deep ball for Collaros on his first throw with a glove?

This game, like most of them, will be won/lost at the LOS. Toronto's DL owned our OL this year. If they can do that again, we could be in trouble. Our DL hasn't owned their OL this year. They could out physical us & their kick returns are way better than ours. Our big advantage is at QB and DB. No Kelly = no win for the Argos.

Say you pay out $200K, is Rourke's name value worth that to the league?

VAJ or Ford would be better than Harris IMO.

1. Collaros - Best playoff game he's ever had. 2. Lawler - Huge play after huge play. 3. Holm - Riders thought they could pick on him. They were wrong. HH: Bucks play calling. Riders were set up to stuff the run. We beat them with the deep ball early and often.

The Riders will put extra bodies close to the LOS on D to try and stop Brady ball & to reduce Collaros' time to throw deep. We'll try to establish Brady early and often. On O they'll run a ton on 1st down. We haven't had to play them with Armstead and Oulette yet. Harris will use the dink and dunk on 2nd to pick up firsts. This game could come down to who has the better return team, them, or FG kicker, us.

MOS saying they're healthy just means their arms and legs are still attached.

After looking at your breakout, I still say that we don't have much, if any, advantage at QB. BTW: Wins is a team stat, not a QB stat. Holy hyperbole 17! Harris is what he is and that gets the job done a lot of the time. That's hardly hyping him or a huge thing.
