This deal will get done... It would be nice to see a little more money go in these players pockets... that's what I respect about the CFL, it's the "Blue Collar" pro sports league.... these guys work hard but they don't make much more than the average professional that works just as hard

I've always thought he had the mental part of the game down.... he reads defenses better than most rookies, he knows how to run an offense, he has a quick release and can find the open receivers.... but his physical attributes are lacking, not a great arm, and almost zero ability to scramble... I think Mike sums it up nicely, he could turn out to be a very capable backup but never really a reliable starter

I have no problem with this.... give him his shot and if he doesn't make it hopefully he remembers who treated him right... I have to give Barker the benefit of the doubt, he's proven he knows what he's doing

Doug Brown basically just states what everyone already knows.... of course this applies to all QBs, I bet Max Hall would be a pretty decent starter playing for Calgary too.... And I haven't heard one single person say that matching the ridiculous price Desjardins set is a good idea.... other than the anti-Glenn contingent, it seems the general consensus is if we can get him for cheap and he accepts the role on the team's terms he would be an excellent addition to the team... otherwise not worth it

This is the most ridiculous and over-used cliché to describe a QB.... has there ever been a QB in football history that likes getting hit and plays better when he's getting beat up?

by just browsing the comments on TSN it seems most of the country is in agreement that Desjardins is way out of it here.... it's not just the fan bases that want him overreacting

I'd be reluctant to give up a quality neg list guy... neither could end up playing in the league but it could also come back to haunt us if we give up the wrong one...

I think she was wearing a clip-in mic so he was just looking in the direction of the mic....

1 - Looks like pretty good hands with an Arena sized ball - hopefully going to the bigger CFL ball won't be a problem 2 - Looks like he won't have any trouble with plays that require him to waggle... nor fighting through a DB coming off of the waggle 3 - I'm concerned that he is too used to playing against DB's who are hopelessly outmatched by him on a size basis... He won't have as easy a fight to get those balls in the CFL 1. Is the arena ball same size as the NFL? 2. good call, looks like he was the guy in motion on a lot of plays 3. How many CFL DBs are that much over 6'? I think he will still have size mismatches...

Fixed that for you. Thanks Huh? Explain. The OP said he signed with NE... he actually signed with Indy

Maybe Smith

He probably knows the only place where he has a shot to compete for the starters job is here.... on every other team interested he's the vet backup/injury replacement.... BC (Lulay), Sask (Durant), Edm (Reilly), Mtl (Smith), Ott (Burris).... there's no way he supplants any of those guys...

I can't even listen to the call-in portion on CJOB.... I usually think "who are these people and have they ever watched football before?"

Sounds like either the first and second sentence are related or the second and third sentence are related... I would guess he was on IR twice....so yes, just poor writing

On principle alone I refuse to ever spell it all caps.... Redblacks is the best they're getting from me, maybe RedBlacks if I'm in a good mood

I think the ideal scenario would be to see him move to QB coach, then OC and maybe HC some time down the road.... obviously this is completely speculative, he's pretty green in the coaching ranks

I'm not a big fan of Lawless' opinion pieces, or him being the Winnipeg rep on TSN, but he is fairly connected and has some good info here and there

I wasn't sold on KG when the off-season started but I'm starting to change my mind a bit.... I think if they come into camp and battle for the #1 then either Glenn is the better QB and it gives Willy more time to develop or Willy is the better QB and then we have the best back-up in the league.... sounds like a win/win.... many people are over-complicating this

WOW this is speculation to a new level! I'm pretty sure Elite Fitness is just trying to drum up some media...

I disagree with this.... the last thing this league needs is another failed Ottawa experiment... I think we're only 5 years away from being a 10 team league so Ottawa is critical to the process... That being said, I really hope we wipe the floor with them in their first official CFL regular season game!

It would be nice to see him here in some capacity... he may even be able to contribute in a recruiting role... call up some guys we're coveting like Banks was doing.... not really sure if there's mutual interest but I think the fans would love to see him in the org...

If he can cover and tackle, size isn't a factor.... Suber can cover and tackle

Better than Simpson but still needed a lot of work in that area.... he's a pretty good back but I anticipate lots of compitition
