Blueandgold Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Burris has to be done in Ham now....HAS TO... Why? Even if he plays stellar I think most would still expect a Riders win. Austin gave the ole Burke line of "we played a better team" tonight. Bottom line. He got his team there. I'd take him over Glenn only because at their best Henry is better. My friend won $200 on a GC score ticket. I told him to mail it to the Bombers offices with a "For Collaros" note attached. I'd take the consistency of Glenn myself. But, for a cold weather playoff game, neither of them would be optimal choices in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I still could see Collaros end up in Ottawa, seems to me whomever gives him the best deal is where he's going to go. I really don't see Collaros, his agent and Walters in cahoots with each other to ensure that Winnipeg doesn't have to trade for him. I also think that Ottawa wants the best QB available, and a veteran QB doesn't absolutely need to be the starter, a quality veteran back-up is probably a must though. As for Hamilton, I'm sure Burris is probably done there, but that depends mightily on how Austin feels about the back-ups. There have been some rumblings in the Hamilton media that Austin is extremely high on Brohm and "hiding" him on the IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the best proven qbs on the market would be Burris - Glenn - Tate in that order... now I'm not saying who has the most long term upside or anything but if a team wants a proven guy right now those would be the top 3 available IMO. Now if they want to grow and are willing to go through growing pains then I think it's Collaros - Willy - Nieswander/Marsh in that order.... Lots of options and if the blue are smart they wont wait and see how things shake out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPuDS Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 glenn isnt "on the market" per say.. he is under contract and i dont think we are to trade to get a qb, especially one thats been here before.. Burris will be the easy, quick fix giving us more time to find a backup and Collaros would be the "please be like reilly" scenario IE a qb that is good enough to win with if given the right guys to develop with.. ideal scenario? Burris with Collaros and Hall/Willy/Etc.. maybe tate shakes into the equation but id hope not myself.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'd be shocked if Hamilton re-signs Burris, and outside of Ottawa I believe his chances of being a starter next season are minuscule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collaros won't end up in Ottawa because Marcel Desjardins has gone on record more than once that they will do everything to avoid drafting free agents, especially at QB.

DR. CFL Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 What if Ottawa doesn't draft Collaris but simply waits and signs him as a FA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 What if Ottawa doesn't draft Collaris but simply waits and signs him as a FA? They can't take that risk. Glenn is a safe "for sure" thing so they will take Glenn. Once Glenn is there Collaros won't want to sign there because he wants to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Ottawa has failed so many times you can be damned sure that they want an experienced veteran qb just so they at least have something to point to the fans and say "See we're better this time!"

17to85 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 ugh just say no to Burris. That would make it very, very hard to cheer for this team. Plus a guy who always chokes in the cold? Doesn't seem like the kind of player to have in Winnipeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Can someone please clarify when teams are once again allowed to make trades, when teams need to declare rosters, and date of the draft? Thanks Trades and transactions can happen anytime between now and December 9th. The 8 teams have to submit their protected lists on this date and the freeze is on between December 9th and the day of the draft, December 16th.

If he's not in the league at the start of TC, I bet he's back by midseason as an emergency replacement somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'd be shocked if HB isn't a starter for at least the beginning of next year and for Ham. He may have his faults but I can't see Hamilton gambling on Masoli, LeFevour and Brohm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 If the Bombers don't land Collaros, I'm 99% sure that Burris will be the Bombers starter next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 if Burris becomes a free agent, it will be stupid for the Bombers not to sign him, even if we have Collaros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
