I think it was more that the Bombers were in the right place at the right time for the wrong reason(not having a qb able to play at the CFL level) to even be in the market for Burris/Collaros/Willy.
I feel the comparison to Reily is warranted seeing as they are 2 emerging starting qb' but bringing up the fact that Mack missed out on Reily is a red hering.
I think luck is a part of any successful franchise but it plays a small part the rest is hard work, perserverance and a plan for success not leaving it to chance.
