Alouettes extend Troy Smith...

and Tanner Marsh to 3 year deals through 2016. Good news for the Bombers as this officially takes Montreal out of the Collaros sweepstakes.

Would also suggest Calvillo's career is over.

I can't help but think Hamilton scoops up Collaros while Bomber management thinks they have him all wrapped up.

Then we get Burris, who was always plan B.

Think Smith is a flash in the pan? Thoughts?

I wouldn't of thought Montreal had any interest at all in Collaros.  They have 4 qbs who all started with various degrees of success so why would they bring in another guy?   

 

Troy Smith looks like the real deal,  he's mobile and has a cannon for an arm and doesn't appear to choke under pressure like Burris.   He's a keeper that's for sure.   

 

If the Blue don't recruit Willy as a back up,  then I'd have no issue if they make a deal to bring over Nieswander... he definitely showed more then Goltz.

Troy Smith looks to me like a Tracy Ham

[SPuDS]

But he could also be a bishop or joseph. Sample size is simply too small to tell..

Id like to say that there must be a reason why he is in the cfl and he must have some deficiency that hasnt come to light yet..

I think Smith is the real deal, not a flash in the pan.  He was the best of the new QB's last year IMHO.  I'd take him over any of the available QB's.

Why would you compare him to those two? And Joseph won a great cup so that can't be that bad.

Smith has a long bright future in the CFL.

I'm a bit sad now.

Big arm, physical, havent seen him use his football iq so smarts are questionable... Joseph won a cup, sure but hes no tracy ham..

So why wouldn't you compare him to Reilly who is exactly as you described?

For the record Troy Smith does have very good football IQ considering he came mid season and played smart football on the field and produced immediately.

I like Troy Smith.

 

As for Hamilton picking up Collaros, why? If they dump Burris, wouldn't they go with Lefevaour?

If they do, would anybody else take Burris with Wiley?
