MOBomberFan Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 The thought of Cortez and Burris putting up 2012-esque numbers together in Blue and Gold is pretty intriguing... but what I really want is a promising QB on the upswing of his career, not one that affords us a year or two at best.

TBURGESS Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 My first choice is Collaros, but Burris is a valid plan B if he is available and we don't get Collaros. We could use the next 2 years to bring along a young guy, while having a bonafide starting QB. Signing Cortez as HC wouldn't mean bringing Burris in was a higher probability IMHO.

JuranBoldenRules Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Cortez as a head coach is a playcaller who gets to make the big decisions, basically an OC with expanded duties. I'm not a fan of that setup. It takes a very special coach to pull that off, and while Cortez is one of the best OC's in this league over the last couple decades, I don't believe he can run a team successfully that way. I want a head coach who will manage a football team, not spend 90% of his energy on one-third of the team. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOBomberFan Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'm just skeptical at this point in our ability to find our own QB. If we are ready to fight and spend, we could probably land our pick of the crop of FA QBs this year and hopefully reap the benefits for years. Burris is probably penciled in at #2 on everyone's QB wish list right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I'd rather we go with Burris then Goltz or Pierce or Hall or Boltus. I just hope he is plan B and that they go for Collaros first Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Plan B for a single season. We need more at the qb position than a one year fix. I suspect Walters knows that. Sure, that's what the #2 and 3 spots are for. Number 2 sure but no way #3. That's for a developmental qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall should be the only qb invited back. he played well enough for that. The other two? Nope. Pierce?? He's in BC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbill2004 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Cortez with a good DC could be great. Right now I'm torn between Cortez and O'Shea. Lawless suggested today Walters might be able to get them both in Blue & Gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Marcel has never had a track record of great success.... this is why I wouldn't look his way. O Shea as Bluto says always seems to be a winner and he has a great deal of respect from fans, media and players. He's definitely a guy that I think can win the locker room while Cortez can be questionable if he could do the same. Regardless after seeing droopy dog Burke I'm willing to take even Reinbold at this point LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Given McManus is based in Florida, I wonder how well he got to know Cortez and what he thinks of Cortez as a HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawless suggested today Walters might be able to get them both in Blue & Gold. That's not exactly what he said...I caught it on the way home and he said, and stay with me here guys because I know this sounds loony, but O'Shea essentially be the actual HC but bypass on the HC gig and just 'accept' a DC position here, thus allowing Cortez to be promoted from Sask OC to our HC as more of a figurehead title. O'Shea would be the HC but actually hold the DC title, and Cortez would be the OC but have the HC title. Ya... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to punch his face through my radio. In fairness I usually have that reaction to Lawless, but it was a stronger emotion after that. Because in Gary's world, he believes you can just do whatever you want. Fake titles for everyone! Hire all the candidates!
