OldSchoolBlue Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Goltz Pierce Lulay DeMarco Nichols Reilly Joseph Glenn Tate Mitchell Durant Willy Ray Collaros Calvillo Marsh Burris LeFevour Above are the qbs that might warrant a look by the RedBlacks. I know the list is not complete. The bold ones are the guys I suspect will be protected by their team and the red (Glenn and Collaros) are the guys I think Ottawa would take, at this point in the season anyway (Collaros ahead of Willy simply because he's younger). The point is that there are a few guys (DeMarco, Nichols, Tate, Willy, Collaros, LeFevour) that their current teams may view as 'at risk', and might be available to the Bombers before Ottawa makes their selections in December (?). Also if Ottawa selected Glenn then Tate would subsequently be protected as well (at least that's my understanding). If I'm the Bombers, I'm inquiring about all these guys (primarily Collaros and Willy) sooner rather than later. Thoughts?
Mike Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Part of me thinks that Collaros ends up in Winnipeg.
holoman Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 There's a thread on Riderville that state that there was a deal for Collaros to WInnipeg before the Argo/.Bomber game. I don't see Hamilton protecting Burris though
OldSchoolBlue Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Posted July 31, 2013 Holoman - I thought about that too, as Ottawa would be unlikely to pick Burris. However if for some reason they DID pick him (instead of Glenn) then Hammy would be left without a starter of any merit. And really the chances of Ottawa picking a LeFevour are pretty slim with better options available, so I think they protect Burris - just to protect the CFL experience he brings. And Mike - what do you think would be an appropriate price for Collaros?
17to85 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 what are the contract statuses of those players? Which ones are upcoming FAs?

sweep the leg Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Conditional draft pick up to a first rounder.
rebusrankin Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Are we rushing to annoint Collaros as the next one?
OldSchoolBlue Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Posted July 31, 2013 Let's face it - the Bombers first round pick this year is likely to be a gooder. From the Bomber's standpoint it may be tough to give that up for a guy we've barely seen play. They may be more interested in a more proven commodity like Tate (I'm not saying that would be a good idea) From a personal standpoint however I liked what I saw, and a Collaros / Goltz tandem would be something I would be pretty happy going into next year with. And no, there is zero chance that Ottawa picks Goltz if given the opportunity at this point. If he starts a bunch of games and lights it up that can change. RebusRankin - although I say Collaros I'd be happy enough with any of Collaros, Willy, Mitchell etc. I honestly wouldn't know how to rank them at this point, and I think it will come down to who is available and their asking price.
OldSchoolBlue Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Posted July 31, 2013 what are the contract statuses of those players? Which ones are upcoming FAs? I'm not sure (Glenn may be a FA?) and you're right - if Ottawa can secure a Glenn through FA then that would throw everything out. But I suspect the league has a restrictive plan for FAs, otherwise the door would be wide open for shenanigans.
MOBomberFan Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Are we rushing to annoint Collaros as the next one? Already ordered my jersey
Captain Blue Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 If we are interested in Collaros then his price just shot up. I didn't get to watch much of the game yesterday but his stats were good. Still I'm not sure how significant the gap is between Collaros and Goltz. Milanovich and that offense may very well have bumped up how good he looks. If the two QBs switched places I'd bet there performances would be different.
Mike Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Collaros and Trevor Harris are both FA in 2014 as well.
OldSchoolBlue Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Posted July 31, 2013 I don't think Ottawa will be allowed to draft FA's coming off a contract. That simply wouldn't make sense.
Blueandgold Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 I don't think Ottawa will be allowed to draft FA's coming off a contract. That simply wouldn't make sense. I'm sure they would be, it would just be extremely risky.
bluto Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 I'm sure they would be, it would just be extremely risky. that. it's also super risky for the team that holds the player's rights to extend them.
OldSchoolBlue Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Posted July 31, 2013 I'm sure they would be, it would just be extremely risky. Sorry, I meant sign FA's coming off a contract, not draft.
johnzo Posted August 1, 2013 Report Posted August 1, 2013 The league has had so many young / new QBs flame out in the past few years -- Brink, Porter, McPherson, Dinwiddie, Lemon, Jyles, Lefors, Pickett, etc. As a fan of the league as a whole I'm glad to see all the promising new blood showing up at QB. As a fan of the Bombers, it's nice to anticipate one of them falling through to us.
