My ".... !" comment about Willy is that he still has to wait until February 15th while Collaros can go out & sign a new deal.... now. Willy's the guy that is going to lose leverage because he has to wait. May cost him a chance to be a starter.

Roughly translated "I'm desperate, I'll play anywhere I have a spot!" 17, just what are you going to do if Burris does sign here? I'm kinda curious to know because you hate him so much.

And in all of this, Drew Willy is going .... !

Won't be so exciting if Hamilton wins.

It's kind of funny how the concussion occurred. No one really knows when it happened from what I understand. He never went down on the field. I remember discussions in the Calgary media about his injury & as far as I know it's kind of a mystery. But he missed half the season.

I seem to remember AC including himself when he said they didn't perform well. He talked a lot about the whole team which would include him. Not at first. He seemed always pissed off about something going wrong. He did begrudgingly after a few weeks of hissy fits on the sidelines & on the field. Nope, the guy looked like a jerk at times with his WTH motion with his arms or pointing to the receiver saying he ran the wrong route on a busted play, etc.

Buh bye Burris in Hamilton. Of course we knew that.

Not at all. Some fans here feel that way, but I guarantee the average fan would be thrilled to hear we've acquired a veteran QB like Burris, 38 years old or not. Hope you're right. I dunno. See my comments above...

In your statement, does that make Drew Willy the nothing? And "or else"? Yikes! **** Personally, I wouldn't mind the Drew Willy (alone) scenario, and yes that would mean less experience, but if Hamilton doesn't sign Burris, how is their situation going to be any different? I just think that if Collaros signs in Hamilton, the Bomber fanbase is going to explode with criticism. The fans almost expect this to be a done deal & reading the comments here it does nothing to change my opinion. Everything else will be a poor second or even third best. That's my "Or Else" scenario. The honeymoon with Miller & Walters will be over.

I think a lot of the reason Calvillo is down on the list in a lot of fans eyes is the way he handled himself under Hawkins. It's not good when the CFL's leading passer & 20 year veteran goes out of his ways to point fingers continually game after game at others & not take any of the blame himself last season. It was shocking to see him come across as such a self centred player. Yeah, he had a great career in Montreal but he was garbage in Hamilton. So bad that he was shell shocked & needed a couple of years behind Tracy Ham in Montreal to gather himself up as a professional qb in order to continue. I think he lost sight of the fact his coach needed help to adjust similar to when he first started out or went thru hard times. He forgot that. That diminished his lustre a bit. I know it did for me.

Looks like it's basically Collaros or nothing for Bomber fans. Then Miller & Walters better get busy & make sure he comes here or else.

We haven't re-signed a lot of our pending FA's so we have money to go after Collaros, I'd think. Let the games begin.

Yeah, that concussion did him in. Too bad. One of the best guard ever.

MLSE will put them on the map. However, Bluto has told me in the past that the Toronto FC fans won't be happy with the Argos or their fans fans moving into BMO Field. He can fill you in better than I can if he reads this but it sounds like some of these soccer fans are asshats. .

You'd think all with all his supposed contacts in the football world Chris Jones could find 4 qualified coaches he could work with, without raiding his previous boss's coaching staff. It's like those guys couldn't wait to get out of Toronto. I always thought the Argos coaching staff was tight with Milanovich. I know JJ in BC didn't leave on good terms as he wasn't allowed to apply for the OC job in BC so he wanted out.

Avoid slagging ticket sales, being the laughing stock of the league again, etc. The problems on this team go beyond just the quarterback position. It needs a lot of help elsewhere too. Burris himself is not going to make this a championship football team. Agree. I still hope we sign Collaros but a veteran guy like Burris may give us a chance to add more than a few pieces around him while becoming competitive allowing a younger qb to take over in a couple of years & have success.

Or you could just, you know ... not be such a whiner when someone replies to your strongly worded opinion with strong words. Whiner? Whatever you think, dude, You don't reply. Look in a mirror before you criticize anyone else. Not sure what you're getting at. All I'm saying is your opinions come across as very matter of fact and concrete, but whenever anyone replies to you with the same tone, you go off on this tangent like the one that starts this string of quotes. I don't know why you choose to get all up in arms about it, I'm not attacking you, I'm just replying to you in the exact same tone. At the end of the day, this is the internet. You need to just relax a smidge. Okay, sure. Whatever you say. That was two pages back & no one wants to endure us going at it. So drop it. You're innocent. End of story.

I wonder how Milanovich feels about his BFF stealing 4 of his coaches? They were buddies, remember? Wonder what Bluto thinks?

I just hope the delay in announcing our DC means that Etcheverry may not be hired!

Reebus, agree with most you say. I think Hamilton is a choice destination for FA's only because of geographic location in Southern Ontario. Our own HC made a career out of switching back & forth between the Argos & Ti Cats. You don't see that so much out West or in Ottawa & Montreal because you'd actually have to move if you switched teams.

Bottom line is we have to win games. We can't have another season like last year. Build the team around the qb. Give him real weapons & a line that can block so any qb can come in here & have a chance to be successful. We have to start somewhere.

Of course, the story never mentioned a grant. What a twisted weave to try & understand. All these grants, loans & financing. Thanks for clearing that up, Snow_Rogue

Hank is short term at best, JBR. Band aid but not the solution. Hey, get the best YOUNG qb. I want Collaros no doubt. But there are some members here who really like Drew Willy so I'd go with that.

Nice comeback, I like that.
