Brandon

The reason they didn't originally bring him was his salary. He's to old now I'd way rather have Jovon then him.

The question is Khari better then Burris? Burris had many more productive years , has a ring and had success with multiple teams while Khari stunk it up elsewhere.

Calvillo definitely was better then Khari its not even a discussion to have.

Am I the only one who keeps going to this site with hope that a new Collaros signs with the Blue thread shows up?

I don't understand the massive hate for Burris.... while not the guy who will lead us to some great dynasty... the guy clearly is way better then anyone we currently have and he has been way better then Buck had played over the last few seasons. He'd definitely give us 1 - 2 seasons of GOOD QB play. It's not like this team is anywhere near competing for the Cup anytime soon so does it really matter if he has to play out in the cold a few times a year? At least during the Summer months we can go out and not pray/hope that whatever qb playing (Pierce/Hall/Goltz) would have a great day and throw for a whopping 200 yards.,.. It would be nice for once to have a qb who can actually throw the ball down the field instead of floating it.

I just don't see Jackson as a coach....

Harris not a potential FA. Some people thought he was but they were wrong. Which is unfortunate since he was very under utilized last season. Now just for the fun / sake of it.... what if the Bombers traded 1st rounder and some other player straight up for Harris. Would anyone be for/against this?

Hey Joey Elliott might be available 17! Would you rather him or Burris?

That article was simply Penton making up news and adding filler.

Long term contract with a normal salary and a healthy signing bonus?

I'm sure his new role as the nose tackle for our new defense will work wonders for him!

Mobile as in able to roll out of the pocket and throw a pass....40 times are nice but not essential

Sadly the worst decision ever was taking the knee last season..... absolutely awful.

in terms of who was better than Calvillo without taking career length into account DIckenson and Garcia are absolutely better. I'd argue for Khari Jones being above Calvillo for a peak as well just because of what Khari did without ever having a good offensive line like the ones Montreal had. That's just taking into account guys from "recently" Obviously the lengthy career counts for something, but the dude is highly over rated just because he played for ever. Similar to Damon Allen. This is always a great topic of debate, the Art Monk debate of a guy who played above average for a long period of time vs a guy like Jim Brown who simply was lights-out outstanding for a short period of time. I think Calvillo is a great qb and definitely a HOF in the CFL and a guy who was really good. But it's so hard to back his case as the best since he had very poor showings when his team wasn't surrounded by all star players. Ricky Ray put up gawdy numbers despite having crap like Kamau Peterson..... I'd agree that Calvillo isn't the top dog, I don't think he's bad... he's in a class right next to Danny McManus and Damon Allen who are great but not the all time greats.

I was at that game.... all I remember was lots of fans mad at Burke for going for the punt (with a horrible punt by Renaud) and also the defense completely breaking down in the 4th quarter. I also remember several other points of the game where Joey Elliott was visibly frustrated at some of the plays in Rider territory... lots of really conservative stuff. Willy looked ok that night, didn't look like a guy who was lost on the field. Wasn't really impressed with his athletic ability but he definitely made smart plays.

johnzo is correct, i said best CFL career. Not the best qb to ever play in the CFL. The best qb that I ever saw play was Flutie followed by Dickenson and Garcia. I'm saying the guy who had the best CFL career , a guy who pretty much played his entire career in the CFL. I am not familiar with guys who played before the mid 80's so it's an honest question. Calvillo had the luxury of great players surrounding him and that's an honest point to make against him being the best all time. Flutie / Moon only played for so many years so I wouldn't really consider them. I'm thinking more so guys like Damon Allen , McManus, Austin, Ham, Ray, Nealone Greene and so forth .....

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. Totally disagree, the NFL is wanting the squeaky clean image. Look how they pretty much killed off any popularity with Terrell Owens, Randy Moss and Chad Ochocino.... I'm sure sherman will burn out like those other guys and be flat broke by the time he's in his mid 30s.

The only person who didn't think Burke was in doo doo would probably of been himself... we all knew the season was going to suck the moment they got rid of Joey Elliott and decided to continue on with Buck with zeor CFL experienced qbs as his back ups.

no. You think Damon Allen is above him?

If I start seeing guys who are 4 yards apart and trying to put players in positions that are unconventional and that don't seem to make sense... then I will once again bring out the pitchfork....

It could of been the 2013 version of the longest yard!

Best CFL QB career ever?

Lol that's not a good thing. Would signing one of Burris/Collaros/Willy make it better? Imagine if we go into the new season with Hall / Boltus / Goltz combo!! If that happens I'm buying a Stamps jersey and giving up lol!

Well hopefully its only a one year contract... I don't want the club paying yet another guy to sit at home...

Yikes this is not the news I wanted to read. My hopes and expectations are once again lowered. I guess we will have to wait another year to see who is available at DC for us.
