Not a good example. He wouldn't have signed if he couldn't pursue NFL interest.
 
He said on the roster, not on the active roster. Teams can only have 2 QBs dressed on game days.

And why is Ed Gainey.

Willie's interview right after the game ended where he said "home boy can put pants on now..slap them suckers on" made me bust a gut

And why is Ed Gainey.

Not necessarily. We've seen in the past how some top NFL players were absolute duds in the CFL. 

And we will find out next season whether that "something" was Jason Maas.

Dickenson doesn't agree with that. He's said a number of times that he felt BLM was playing the best football of his career after he came back from his injury. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Who knew what we needed to win a Grey Cup was having a German on the roster. 

extremely small sample size. I've been down the dark road of CFL Life Without A QB for too long. Matt Nichols came in and did nothing but win, win, win and win. I'm not going back into the darkness again...

Well, nice to see that the Grey Cup win has stopped the 29 years of pent up over-reactionary bickering around here.
I'm not a mod, but if I were this thread would have been locked pages ago for all the pointless back and forth. So I'll just keep my opinions about the merits of the QBs (well known to most I'm sure) to myself at this time and offer a few quotes that either side of the debate can throw out if they feel the need to bash the other side for their counter-opinion.

I don't get this argument as people flip flop and waver...some say "look how many play-off wins he has"...not looking at the craptcular defensive performance in the losses and it's all on him...other side say he won one..and only cause the defense....some say he was reason we won.
Last 4 years has the best winning percentage save for BLM...But it's all because the defense many will say....yet even though he has been top of league those years in offensive points produced (excluding ST and Defensive scores) as well as being T.O.P winner in games more times than not
...how does the defense factor in with that? Many forget for a good portion of those wins, he had to put up 30+ points to get those wins as the "defense" was giving up 30+ a game...a lot! And many a game was lost when we scored 30+ points..I guess that because Nichols sucks and we can't win with him but in spite of him?? Many be,oan that we stalled and had to settle for a FG...well those 3 points each time count, and are a reullt of the QB getting the team in a position to score them...and the wins that resulted came because the opponent's QB failed to do so...Again I guess it's all on the defense for those wins eh?
You can twist and contort stats..wins..losses...whatever you wish all you want but fact of tha matter since 2016 ol Matt Nichols..Game Manager has managed to get us the most wins of any team next to CGY and last time I checked it was a team game and a team is only as good as it's collective parts...
Reilly and BLM are obviously top tier but their grip there isn't iron clad...Next tier has to be fancy Stats Harris, Nichols, Masoli and Collaros..similar results will be achieved in different ways...pick your poison I guess in how you want to achieve them, tho not sold 100 percent on Collaros "health" yet and think we dodged a bullet and kept him clean...hopefully I am wrong, but concussion problems don't go away after time..once your in that dance, you never leave it and why I would steer away from him. 
Evan's isn't in the next tier yet..as was super evident in the Grey Cup but has upside, tho needs an attitude makeover to get there..wouldn't want that pouter as my field general..when going got tough..he checked out
Arbuckle and Strev are at the cusp and both guys who teams should be priority signing and grooming, as they will be a teams future...they just need to marinade a bit more before being the defacto starter, and I think Adams is there now, and ready to be lumped in the top...he's paid his dues...been around and is finally in a good spot...for him
The rest are just a middling group of you get what you see...you'll get a game here or there to make you go "wow" but for most part are what they are and that's it...back-up's and emergency starter but not a guy to hitch your wagon to

Collaros plays a different game than Matt..he actually sucks at the check down and short pass..look how many times he missed Harris in his starts..and other short ones too..and ones he made were not pretty..he's more an intermediate to long passer
Even is Sask his short game sucked
Matt can make those throws too..when asked to but wasnt alot because we were very successful in the short game..and it allowed us to control the ball and clock.. so why deviate
But...we deviated with Zack because we game planned to his strengths.. and it worked out..If Matt hadnt got hurt we woulda hosted WF...and won...and we also woulda won the cup as Hamilton had no answer to our defense..and  Nichols/Strev combo with Harris in beast mode would have scored the same..if not more
