Figured maybe we could use a thread specific to the warmup game

Seen on Reddit:

“Just like last season, the Toronto Argonauts and visiting Montreal Alouettes will meet at BMO Field with a trip to the Grey Cup on the line in Saturday’s East Division final. This will be the third year in a row that the road to the championship game will go through Toronto.

For the Argonauts, their focus is on getting back to the big game. The Alouettes are looking to break a 13-year drought since their last Grey Cup appearance back in 2010, which was also when they won their last championship.

The Argonauts are back in the playoffs for a third-straight season with head coach Ryan Dinwiddie. Toronto is also hosting its third-straight East final and is looking to reach the Grey Cup for the third time in six seasons (the 2020 season was cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic).

The Alouettes, are making their third-straight appearance in the playoffs and first under new head coach Jason Maas. Montreal hasn’t won a divisional final since 2010, going 0-3 in that span — including two losses to the Argonauts.”

I cannot see Kelly lasting in the CFL, despite his obvious talent. His personality will wear out any goodwill he still has with his teammates in short order. We have many like him arrive in a blaze of optimism and then slink away.

....sure about that?

Yup. I offer in evidence his performance in the 2022 Grey Cup game.

A limited set of reps when the defense had not game planned for him at all. Total bullshit and evidence of nothing.

He still outplayed Collaros and made a very good Bomber defence look inept.

He outran Casey Sayles once on 2nd and 15.   That was the difference.  That is all.

He outplayed Prukop, for sure.

Imagine the level of hard spin you need to try and make that case.... I literally can't even.

Yeah 4/6 for 43 yards was just outstanding. 

As hideously ugly as he is, Kelly came in and made a couple of plays MBT would not have. 

If we’re going to revisit that awful night for the hundredth time, I’d rank the factors of losing that game as. 

1. Kicking

 

2. Prukop 

3. That one scramble by Kelly where Sayles couldn’t catch up.

The first time the Argos were made aware of the so called injury was basically when Kelly told the media. What a joke. This guy is a narcissist.

Dude was the third best QB before the East final. Heap whatever ridicule on him for the "concusion", the meltdown, or low character displayed by disparaging his organization over his desire for the NFL... but he was still the third best QB in the league this year.

Yup.

I think the guy could have a solid CFL career....but I thought it was funny that someone chose the GC to highlight his talent...I mean just pick any number of games from this year's regular season. Lol

this is not the flex you think it is....

Kelly is gonna be a guy ppl look back on In 3 years and go, remember that guy who had 1 ok year and won the MOP, yeah Jim Kelly's nephew, yeah wonder what he's doing now. 

That's 3 years from now 

Cuz if I'm Toronto oline, first few plays of next season,  I let the other team kill him cuz bullshit he had a concussion. Honestly the guy is just clueless, talk about putting your entire organization and the league really  in a bad spot

 

Concussion is just an excuse.  He wasn't concussed, he was exposed playing a good D for the first time

Just to tie this whole discussion into a bow, I think we can all agree, we’ll at least those who could care less about non Bomber fan fee fees on a site specifically for hardcore lifelong Bomber fans, and regardless of individual player skill sets, the Argos, the Argoblows, whatever name one goes by for them, do indeed suck and will always forever suck, gawd bless their souls.

Amen

Whoa, whoa, whoa.  There is no reason to tie a bow on this discussion now. There are still a lot more posts needed in the future to once again state how much the Argos suck. Let’s not shut this down now!
