Not sure where this goes, but here's some interesting stuff from Naylor on next year's FA class, with a focus on Streveler...... https://www.tsn.ca/naylor-s-kickoff-desperate-argos-turn-to-collaros-1.1345309 The 2020 Free Agent Class Their star power isn’t as bright as last off-season but there is an intriguing trio of quarterbacks potentially headed to free agency this coming off-season. None of them is proven, but all have made an impression on the rest of the league. Given how the market inflated among the league’s top-paid quarterbacks heading into this season, one has to believe the market for promising, still-unproven quarterbacks may be up as well. At the front of that class is Winnipeg’s Chris Streveler, the second-year player for whom the Bombers design weekly packages, which he has been executing with calmness and precision. Streveler is a physical freak, a former receiver whose testing scores coming out of college were better than the quarterbacks at the top of his NFL draft class. Streveler became the first CFL quarterback in 24 years last season to start his team’s season-opening game, stepping straight out of college. He didn’t look overwhelmed and immediately grabbed attention from around the league. Can Winnipeg really afford to keep him and Matt Nichols beyond this season? Many GMs around the CFL believe that Streveler could start right now. And, if he goes to free agency, at least one of them is presumably going to be willing to pay him more than Winnipeg can in a backup role. The fact he’s hired agent Dan Vertlieb, who has excelled at increasing salaries for his quarterback clients, is another sign Streveler is looking to maximize his worth this coming off-season. Calgary’s Nick Arbuckle also comes up for free agency this off-season. And while the wow factor hasn’t been quite as large with the 25-year-old quarterback, it’s been impossible to ignore how composed and efficient he’s been, completing nearly 74 per cent of his passes while filling in for the injured Bo Levi Mitchell this season. Cody Fajardo signed a one-year deal with Saskatchewan this past off-season, coming off consecutive seasons in Toronto and B.C. where he finished as the No. 3 quarterback. Neither of those teams saw him as having starter potential in the short term, but in Saskatchewan he’s run away with the No. 1 job, throwing 12 touchdowns against five interceptions and passing for more than four times as many yards as he did during his first three years in the league. At 27, the he and the Riders would be smart to get something done before the season ends.

get it back together tonight and drop 60 on 'em. **** those guys....time to start this weekend off right!

I don't care HOW they do it, but I want the TiCats to win big and let all the air out of that ridiculous mirage of a balloon in The Gap. Kick that anthill but good...

Labonte deserved to lose that game for being a moron, period.

the one thing I will never understand about Alberta is this idea that you can't ever spend tax dollars on anything. You need to save, always.....for what? Well, that doesn't matter....just don't spend it....ever. Calgary is a world class city...you deserve world class facilities!!

Yknow, you guys keep saying that's me, when it's really you....

If for no other reason than his heroic intake of rye whiskey...

Milt was a SB and he had lots of deep success, tho he did a lot of intermediate crossers as well...

Nope...that's what curling is for, damn it!!

Zach Collaros is a big name gimmick??

Again, it's just my own personal thing, but I feel like those who are STRICTLY CFL/CIS are more hardcore than those who are just football fans, and will watch all football, regardless. I am perfectly fine with being seen as crazy on this (I'm used to it) but it's 100% how I feel...

Collaros was cleared to practice this week, but Riders chose not to put him out there (which honestly is the sensible thing to do...) but you know that ZC is gonna keep trying until he's carted off for good......poor bastard.

Riders screwed if Fajardo goes down?? Riders are screwed if Fajardo DOESN'T go down....their offense is garbage and their record is a mirage.

I don't HATE the fact, but I don't understand it...

Just my own personal thing, but I disagree with this...

absolutely ZERO chance I would ever trade Conner for Tkachuk....Conner is a guy you can build a team around. Tkachuk is more like Kessel...

At first I thought maybe ZC was signing with the team that originally recruited him so he could retire there, but if there's a 2nd rounder involved, then TO is expecting him to play. That poor bastard. Legitimately concerned about his long term health...

I thought it was odd....

I approve of this notion....

that's the shits that Adams and Alexander are on the 6 game....cripes. Also interesting that Lucky isn't returning kicks at all....Jones doing all the return chores.

aaand now Brandon Banks out this week for Ham......gift wrapping a win for those asshats in the rectangle.

I don't care enough about football as a sport to watch a bunch of generic (to me) athletes in places that I've never been to. I love the regional rivalries of the CFL and the Canadian players. That's certainly what draws me in. Having said that, I have a buddy at work that's a die hard Raiders fan, and an NFL junkie, in general, and so I started following the Raiders a bit last year because their "story" is somewhat similar to Winnipeg, in terms of what they've gone through as an organization. Also, the whole Baker Mayfield thing last year in Cleveland intrigued me. That game where he first came in and helped them come from behind and win? That was entertaining. So I follow that a bit......but generally speaking, I have NO idea why people in Canada buy into the hype so much.
