Blue and Gold87

It's 3 days after the Grey Cup, lots can change and nothing is known at this point.  I sure hope we try to improve our QB group if/ when Collaros leaves. Love Matt, really great dude, loves it here and that's great,  but there is a reason we won with Collaros and couldn't with Matt. 
I mean if we try and no one wants to come here or can't afford anyone else then okay, but don't settle for less to be 'nice guys'. I'll take winning instead..

Hope some of the newcomers in the secondary stick around. Loved what Taylor, Jones, Maston showed down the stretch. Really like wolitarsky, and hopefully we can keep our oline strong. 
Our QB situation will be the most intriguing to watch though. Personally I'd like to move on from Nichols. Great guy but I don't think he could have won us those playoff games.  Collaros was exactly what this offense needed, an accurate deep ball passer who's not afraid to throw it up and let a guy make a play. The only time Nichols would throw it deep is if the guy was wide open and that simply won't get it done in November. Gotta find a way to keep streveler around, he's a warrior and I still think he had starting QB potential.

Yeah he seems to still have something to prove and I'd be shocked if he's not playing next season . 
I honestly feel terrible saying that about Matt, but after watching what Collaros was able to do in a short time with the same group, it's hard not to wonder if he was in the way at least a bit or just is a game manager like his shirt said today lol...
Or hey, maybe I'm wrong and he comes back and plays with a chip on his shoulder and leads us back!

Man I love streveler. Seems like the kinda guy you'd wanna go party with. Haha. Hopefully we find a way to keep him around, that kinda guy is infectious and is a warrior

He moves like one in the pocket.

Never liked the guy. Seemed to be a 'me' guy and then he got old and irrelevant. Can't win with guys like that.

Gotta disagree. You're right that the gameplan didn't change, but the execution did. The biggest differences for me is Zach's pocket awareness, ability to scramble, and willingness to throw the 50/50 balls with confidence.  Matt would have eaten sacks or checked it down to Harris in those situations and the result would likely have been different.  I love Matt, think he was a big part of what got us here, but I've maintained my stance that he isn't the guy to take us to the Cup. 
If Collaros signs elsewhere, I'll personally be hoping we go after another QB to pair with Streveler. 
Just my 2 cents

Very classy man. That's what it's all about. Cheers

Thanks JCon!
If anyone can confirm the airline/flight number that would be awesome.

I will give Simoni props for congratulating our team, and putting it out there that he didn't play well enough yesterday.
I appreciate a guy blaming himself first 

Could not have gotten here without Matt Nichols. His leadership marked the change of course for this organization towards the right direction, in 2016

It's funny how much you want a Grey Cup win, how much time you invest in thinking about this day and how it would feel and then in the end,  all you end up thinking about is every other long suffering fan, family member and just smile!  To a man, they wanted this for the city as bad as we did and layed it all out there and for that I'll be forever greatful!
Now bring it home boys, party has just begun! 
For the W!!
