Fatty Liver Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 Add their list of bail-outs retirees to that list and it is quite impressive. How can one man be paid so much money and make so many mistakes? It boggles the mind.
Tracker Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 If Franklin has any say in where he goes, he would be a fool to choose the Riders over, say, the Bombers. No quarterback, no matter how skilled and experienced , is going to stay healthy let alone look good behind that O-line guided by that coaching staff. The Bombers found that out in the Buck Pierce era, and in that same era, we found out that any quarterback with potential with potential will have that potential snuffed out and replaced with PTSD. Franklin will need a decent O-line, receivers and coaching if he wants to become an elite pivot.

Holy crap..(your trolling post) Do you honestly believe having won 2 cups in that same period doesn't disqualify you guys from being complete idiots when you mention that? Not to mention 2 cups previous to that in what?? 50-60-70 years. Yep, lots to rave about there.

Kluchk Posted January 29, 2017 Report Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Why would Franklin remotely even think of wanting to go to Winnipeg? Franklin has two possibilities and that's it. Toronto or Saskatchewan. Franklin wants to be an immediate starter and doesn't need to compete against a current starter for a spot. Winnipeg isn't getting him so move on.

Floyd Posted January 29, 2017 Report Posted January 29, 2017 Here's a crazy idea... since Franklin is still under contract with the Eskimos, maybe he stays there this season Atomic, Blueandgold, Wanna-B-Fanboy and 4 others 7

Maybe Reilly gets hurt again and they run him out of town instead. Who knows what could happen. A team could sign a player who had lost his spot with current team only to find out later the replacement on said team was a crack dealer. Edited January 29, 2017 by Ripper Bigblue204 and DR. CFL 2

AND you ain't getting him either...Hervey would rather trade him to anyone else in the CFL than his hated ex-coach pal in Regina...You don't have enough on your roster or in picks to change that fact lol...AND when he reaches fa...(if he does) you'll have plenty of competition including us...You have to remember this is a proving year for Nichols...he's not enshrined yet...So stuff your crap.

TBURGESS Posted January 29, 2017 Report Posted January 29, 2017 IMO Franklin stays with Edmonton this year then goes to FA where he signs with the best team that offers him the starting job. Riders or Argos are most likely, with an outside chance of Montreal or Winnipeg depending on how this season plays out.
rebusrankin Posted January 29, 2017 Report Posted January 29, 2017 Perhaps Franklin attempts an NFL shot? Can't be as bad as some of those bums. Goalie 1
Atomic Posted January 29, 2017 Report Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) 15 minutes ago, rebusrankin said: Perhaps Franklin attempts an NFL shot? Can't be as bad as some of those bums. I would expect his agent to gauge interest. He will only be 26 so there may still be some teams who would give him a look... maybe not a serious look but an opportunity nonetheless. The question is whether he is at a point in his life where he would want to take a shot at the NFL with the very slim chance of making it or take starter money in the CFL if it is being offered to him.

Zontar Posted January 29, 2017 Report Posted January 29, 2017 Let's allow him to prove himself as an actual starter first. Tap the breaks on Franklin- mania Ripper 1
JuranBoldenRules Posted January 29, 2017 Report Posted January 29, 2017 Maybe Edmonton is ready to move on from Reilly for 2018. He's showing pretty significant signs of wear. rex 1

Maybe because hes a little bit younger then davis, but played a ton more football at both college and the pro level. And managed to take a no2 spot and as previously mentioned start and win a game in the cfl. vs being a default no3. Or maybe because he has a better passing tool set. Davis also started a won a game against a team that wasn't forced to play their 3rd string QB lol.
