USABomberfan Posted June 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Well, it's now official that the Franklin era has begun in Toronto and we'll soon find out whether they bought the league's next Warren Moon, or a pile of fools gold. The comparisons of Streveler to Franklin can really start now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Still be interesting to see how Franklin does. Not sure he has as good of weapons as he had in Edmonton. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF he pans out. Course they knew they would have to make way for the next QB quick anyway because even if Ricky Ray hadn't gotten injured, they knew he still was very close to retirement and Matthews and Fajardo in the time they were given both stunk. We'll find out shortly if Franklin lives up to his billing, but it was a risk they had to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's a no-go, then MBT might get a shot. Edited June 28, 2018 by USABomberfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USABomberfan Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 I might not say that the job was handed to Franklin, but the Argos made a substantial investment in him by getting him right before the trade deadline ended and securing his early rights. I'd say with that deal done they'll give him a very good amount of leeway to try and get the job done. Now, if in these next few weeks he absolutely stinks up the joint, then MBT might get a crack at it. I won't say that TO will all the sudden start winning lights out with Franklin, but I think he'll do an adequate enough job to hang onto his spot.

Have to. Can’t expect Streveler to re-up and bypass NFL deals if you’re not going to give him starter dollars. Keep in mind ... this is a guy that turned down legitimate NFL offers to come here. We will have to open the wallet up for that to happen a second time. I really hope it plays out like this but if his trajectory stays on the path it is... NFL will be knocking on his door sooner then later. size, athleticism, smarts and head in the right place.. plus great arm. Dunno how they dont.. dunno how we keep him in the CFL.

Yikes! I think Streveler is better than that. His numbers may have been low but he kept fighting and even when down 21 was trying to will the team back to win. Really can't blame him when Chungh and whoever else that was committed those back breaking penalties and Dressler had 2 uncharacteristic drops. He had it a bit too easy last week against the sad sack Montreal team and was going to have an off week sooner or later. I'm not too worried about his confidence going forward though. blitzmore and TheSource 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 I only watched the 4th quarter but I was glad to see Streveler play with some fire in his eyes at the end. He was not like the long list of backups who looked completely defeated and hopeless out on the field after being down by 21.
