johnzo Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Will have a news conference next Tuesday. David Naylor has confirmed he'll be retiring. http://www.torontosun.com/2014/01/14/longtime-cfl-quarterback-anthony-calvillo-to-announce-future-plans-next-week
johnzo Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Posted January 16, 2014 (stupid Sun. The article says his career began in 1995, but the Posse were a thing in 1994.)
SPuDS Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Lol. The sun, wrong? Nah that never happens lol
17to85 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Good riddance. Why so bitter? being a bomber fan isn't reason enough?
kelownabomberfan Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 (stupid Sun. The article says his career began in 1995, but the Posse were a thing in 1994.) Hell yeah it was!! Oh wait, you said Posse...never mind
road griller Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 I thought my AC retired in my truck last summer. Gave her a quick recharge and BAM cool as a cucumber.
NotoriousBIG Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Put him in a wheelchair and replace his (non-throwing) arm with a traffic cone and he's still better than our current QB line-up. #joemack
Noeller Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 to hell with that guy for everything he did to us in the mid-2000s. I couldn't possibly be happier to hear he'll be gone...
johnzo Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Posted January 17, 2014 C'mon you guys, it's not AC's fault the Bombers have been such a shitty team. Guy is one of the best ever, it's been a privilege to watch him. HardCoreBlue, DR. CFL and Logan007 3
iso_55 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 He's been outstanding the last decade of his career. It took him the first decade to figure things out as a qb. Unbelievable career.
Noeller Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Only because he wasn't good enough to play NFL. Flutie, Dickenson and possibly Ray are better QBs with shorter track records... Mr. Perfect and robynjt 2
Brandon Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Best CFL QB career ever? no. You think Damon Allen is above him?
iso_55 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 No, not the best CFL qb over his career but he has thrown for most yardage. What would Flutie had done yardage wise if he never went back to the NFL??? Noeller 1
NotoriousBIG Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Or Warren Moon? Noeller and kelownabomberfan 2
Noeller Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 AC benefited a ton from having such a good team around him, primarily one of the best OL of all time.
Noeller Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 In fairness, if you were old enough to remember the early 2000s................
Mike Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 2000 was my first year as a STH Noeller 1
Noeller Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 our post-Ritchie era thru to Doug Berry is full of some truly awful memories of games vs Montreal. One of the only highlights (...and it's BARELY a highlight...) was the game from 2004 (2005??) when we won something like 52-45 (??)...and Kamau Peterson actually called it on the old OB.com 'cause they'd apparently designed a gameplan for that specific game, all the way back in April of that year. Sigh...not a good era.....f*** everything about Calvillo and the Als...
17to85 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Best CFL QB career ever? no. You think Damon Allen is above him? No definitely not, but I can't call Calvillo the best anything when he was gifted an easy division and STILL choked as often as he did in the playoffs. That many Grey Cup appearances he should have won a lot more than he did and his failure to do so is a giant black mark on his career. Mr. Perfect 1
