Nelson Martin and Gary Etcheverry?
 
Henry Burris?
 
I'm starting to lose interest. And it's not even February.

Hamilton was a good team despite having Burris at QB.  This crap going around that Burris is still even a good starting QB because he throws for a bunch of yards (although he stats look a lot better relatively because the 3 best QB's in the league were all injured for long stretches) and took Hamilton to the Grey Cup is garbage.  Look at how much he turned the ball over, look at how the confidence in him from the coaching staff in Hamilton waned as the season went on to the point that they aren't even interested in having him back.  Yes he had a very good East Final, but a season is 18 games long.  It's as crazy as saying Buck Pierce is a great QB because he led the Bombers to the Grey Cup.  All signing Burris as a starter would do is stall QB development in Winnipeg and kill our chances of contending when we host a Grey Cup in 2015 or 2016, similar to what our dance with Buck the 4 seasons has done for us.  Signing Burris would be a massive disappointment for anyone who wants to put a team that has a chance to win a Grey Cup on the field anytime soon.

Collaros seems like he's made for the CFL, not that I have anything against Willy but frankly he'd be a consolation prize.

It's difficult to say that Reilly wouldn't of gotten more money had he waited until Free Agency. 
 
You just can't say that signing beforehand was a good business decision. 

I'd rather take a chance on a rookie DC than waste time with a guy like Etchevary who has proven to not be good enough. 

When the alternatives are Etch and Marshall, Tibesar looks much more appealing. 

I prefer him to Greg Marshall and that's about the best thing I can say about it.

A decade ago the Rider franchise was a joke. Things change for the better & for the worse.... That fanbase will get there's someday. No one will feel sorry for them when they do. Except themselves.

An injury prone headcase isn't insurance, just a nuisance.

So no jokes about Pall being 5th overall pick only for them to instantly cut him and Montreal signing him?
Or is it only Mack picks that can be forever mocked?

What really annoyed me about Burke was how he refused to ever take responsibility for our issues.

If Collaros is here, Hamilton would be the best bet for Willy. Maybe even BC.

You're still missing the point here. It was Rider fans who screamed louder than anyone about the Esks cheating when they were over the cap and winning even though the cap back then was even less enforced. Now though it's just the way business is done when it's the Riders doing it. We're laughing at their hypocritical nature here nothing more nothing less. 

Not really sure what the fascination with Higgins is.

I'd be okay with Burris only if we get someone like Willy as well.
 
But I'd still prefer Collaros.

Interesting that Campbell had interest in Ottawa yet didn't want anything to do with Winnipeg.

I'd prefer to just wipe Morris off the map but I guess I'm just old fashioned that way

Absolutely not. Fans are the last people I want to see having any say in the operations of this franchise.

McManus is being looked at as Assistant GM, that's a ways down the totem pole to decide on the starting Quarterback. Besides, who would seriously prefer Brian Brohm or Masoli or any of the Ticat Quarterbacks to Collaros?

been looking forward to watching this game less than any GC i can ever remember. just really can't stand the thought that either of these fanbases will get to welcome a GC champion home...
 
...at least the TiCats are doing me (us all) the favour of shitting the bed so as to save us watching the second half. thanks Hank.
