What do you do if you're the argos? Arbuckle has thrown 6 straight 300+ yard games, and 7 of his last 8. Since week 2 he's had more Tds than Ints. He's averaging 319 yards passing per game. He is 31, and he's healthy as can be. He's also not in the 13 highest paid qbs in the league. 

Does kelly make them any better at this point? They have heavily under achived but I don't place a lot of that at arbuckles feet. Kelly is also 31, an off the field nightmare, the 2nd highest paid qb at 615k, coming off a major injury and his best year isn't as good as arbuckle this year. 

Personally, while I'd hate to tie my self to arbuckle as the qb1 prior to this year, I'd trade kelly. Some one will likely be desparate enough to take the bait on him and give up assets. You can still resign arbuckle to a team friendly deal and add an all star player with the salary difference. 

What would I do if I were the Argos?

Cry? Wonder why me?

[Noeller]

Not even sure why they'd bring the sex pest back. Arbuckle has been more than fine. Keep on rolling with him. 

[Brandon]

If I'm the Argos I keep Kelly on the bench and next season re-evaluate what to do with Kelly.

Watch Walters make a trade for Kelly.

This idea is not as crazy/improbable as it sounds.

Wash your mouth out with soap, preferably Zest.

I can't tell if you are saying that Arbuckle has been average or he will maintaining his current average but looking at the game logs and geez; 6 Straight games of 300 or more yards passing, 14 TDs vs 2 Interceptions. If the Bombers were getting that level of QBing they'd probably be the prairie team sitting on 10 wins.

as in his average production per game, about 319 passing yards and 1-2 td, like i referred to.
Which makes it hard to expect improvement by swapping him for kelly.

Kelly is making $625000 in hard money this year and next. Can't see how we'd make it work moneywise.

whats ZC make last yr...and this?...was it reported what 2026 is?

[rebusrankin]

No report on what Zach makes next year. It was 600k this year and hard to see him taking a pay cut. 

[Goalie]

Unless it’s Kelly for ZC. lol. Zach retires an Argo.

The second Arbuckle falters, Dinwiddie will bench him.

On one hand most teams didn't spend through that whole 500k increase, he also had an upfront bonus of like 250k this year, so you'd only be eating the Pro rated amount for 1/3 of the year. 

That said, I want no part of kelly.

3dn lists it at 600k for this year, I believe next year was the same deal but it was never officially announced.

And the poor get poorer. 

[Booch]

I honestly thought he was still playing there lol

[rebusrankin]

Bridges falling down or getting burnt deep repeatedly is something I'm glad we no longer have to endure. He'll fit right in with that D.

At this point, can we say Rigmaiden the scout is way better than Rigmaiden the gm?

[Stickem]

Seems MBT is coming back for the Als. I doubt he makes much of a difference for them.
