Zach Collaros or Mike Reilly?

I know it's a difficult question to answer because there's more to see of Reilly, but who do you think will end up being the better QB over the next 5-10 years?

I think it'll be fun to discuss because we've had the opportunity to acquire both. Looks we'll end up getting Collaros.

Tanner Marsh, without question.

 

I suppose since the question is about taking either Reilly or Collaros, I'd take Reilly as of right now, but at times this season I felt as though Reilly was just the garbage time king. Collaros is younger though and has shown a lot of promise, moves well in the pocket, but IMO Reilly has the better arm and football IQ.

IMHO Collaros is the best available QB this year (I expect Burris to resign with Hamilton), but I hate the idea of giving up a 1st rounder, 2nd overall, for a Free Agent, especially since we already gave up our 2nd rounder.  It sounds like a desperate move to me.  I'd rather take my chances in free agency and keep the 2nd overall pick.

I don't expect we'll give up a first rounder. I do expect we'll swap with Toronto though.

 

That being said, without trying to get your hopes up, you should be confident that Collaros will sign with us when we trade for us. We'll have the ability to talk contract beforehand because unbelievably, Collaros actually wants to come to Winnipeg so Toronto will want to maximize their return.

Both teams seem motivated enough, so I can’t fathom our second overall pick would be involved.  

 

If Barker plays hardball, my play, if I am Walters, is to convince him that a 2nd rounder in 2015 will be worth more than a 1st rounder this year.

Really ?

 

Because all indications are that Collaros wants to try the NFL this off season.

of course he's going to have NFL aspirations, what QB doesn't.

 

Eventually reality is going to set in that the NFL will pass.

I was chatting with Dave Naylor yesterday and he said he can't see Collaros is in the NFL next season.

So do I.

 

I'd say our chances are about the same.

Who was the last QB to even try out in the NFL Ricky Ray?

IIRC Mike Reilly had a couple of work-outs with NFL team last year. Ray may be the last one who was signed.

Graham Harrell would probably be the last CFL QB to sign an NFL deal. Though I don't think he ever actually threw a pass in the CFL.

So do I.

Unless of course he wants to avoid the gong show here and see's Ottawa as the better place to be.

 

Or if Collaros makes his rounds and an NFL team does decide to bring him to training camp, he might not make the team, but at best we'd get him in September 2014.
