kelownabomberfan Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming57s MT @TSNScianitti: Collaros: "Who [Austin] worked with, obviously the number the QBs under him have put up... it was kind of a no brainer" Ouch Yeah I think the "no brainer" reference was to the time Austin spent coaching Bishop when he was the OC of the Argos.

rebusrankin Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 To be fair, Austin looked good with vets like Burris and Joseph. More developmental QBs like Bishop, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Perfect Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Not really sure why people would be offended or surprised for that matter with Collaros' choice to go to Hamilton. Their coach has a proven track record and is a great offensive mind, and their team is ready to contend for a championship right now. It would have been an easy choice for me as well if I was in his shoes. DR. CFL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan007 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I get the decision for Collaros to go to Hamilton. His decision is made...it's done, let's get over it. If we lose out on Burris too, I'm going to be rightly pissed. And if Burris doesn't come here, what makes you think Willy will? Someone else could easily ****** him up too. This is starting to stink.

iso_55 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 So there you go. We were never really in it. You can put the tin foil hats away now folks. Nothing Walters could have done. No one blames Walters for this, Just goes to show what a **** show our team has become & how others in the CFL view it. Our new coaching staff does nothing to add any confidence that it's going to get better anytime soon. What a mess. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Just for the heck of it, lets look at reality. If the Stamps have any real interest in Burris, we're in tough- it would cost Burris somewhere around $15,000 to live here VS living in his own home in Calgary. For those who are bad-mouthing Burris consider this: in 2012, Burris threw for 40 touchdowns Between 2012 and 2013, the entire bomber quarterbacking corps threw for.....29 touchdowns. johnzo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=442555 “I can't wait to work with [Hamilton head coach Kent Austin], and the talent [Hamilton] already have on their roster,” Collaros told TSN Thursday, before flying to Hamilton for a team physical and press conference Friday morning. “It wasn't a long process. It was kind of a crazy 24 hours. I couldn't be happier where I am,” Collaros said. “Coach Austin is an unbelievable coach. “We talked pretty extensively, and he did a really good job of recruiting. Who he's worked with, obviously the numbers the quarterbacks under him have put up, and the success he's had winning games; it was kind of a no brainer when it came down to it.” Nonetheless, Collaros's arrival in Hamilton does not necessarily mean he is automatically the Ticats starter. Austin did not explicitly tell Collaros where he falls on Hamilton's quarterback depth chart, which still includes LeFevour, and Masoli, as well as former NFLers Stephen McGee and Brian Brohm. “[Austin] really didn't discuss [who Hamilton's starter will be],” Collaros said. “It was just moreso: ‘We want you here in Hamilton,' and ‘We think it's a good situation for you.'” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Love blooms, then gets shredded when those "unbelievable coach's" eyes pierce a young newcomer"s. But that's OK because the shock will wear off when the spittle hits a surprised face and realization sets in….the guy could be a mad man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Lets see what happens *if* Collaros starts off cold and then LeFevour gets some playing time.... wouldn't it be hilarious if the Zach-Attack was put on hold and didn't get his incentive bonuses because LeFevour and Masoli were getting more reps ... rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 All that praise for Kent Austin but never once thinks about the fact that Austin just dumped the qb who led the league in passing last season....

Guy doesn't really strike me as a guy who shows any loyalty to a player and if you do something he doesn't like you're gone. That's what Wally used to do. When a player he felt was past his usefulness he released him. Like Allen Pitts & Geroy Simon. Almost the entire Stamps team from a period of 2000 to 2002.
