Zontar Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Is there anything more bizarre than the abandoning of a Riders' fan hate level for Burris as the gold standard of a being a Rider fan in favour of trading for him becasue sticking with backups means you're not serious about salvaging the season and therefore not a real fan ? It's truly surreal what's going on over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Desperate is as desperate does. Some fans think that because you win the championship once, you're automatically entitled to it year after year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KptKrunch Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 I heard he 'could' be ready by then but if his ligament is still sore, how affective will he be? Especially in the cold weather of November? He'll need a lot of pain killers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 If Desjardins trades Burris he should be fired. He had Glenn, treated him like royalty when they drafted him. Then like a piece of meat after he signed Hank. Later he traded Glenn to BC for a first round pick in this year's draft. Now he'd trade Hank? Talk about giving up to your fanbase. But at the same time I wouldn't put it past him to actually do something as stupid as that based on his track record as GM in Hamilton where he did a lousy job.

The funny thing is, if you remember the context of Burris signing in Calgary, he would've been crazy NOT too. Calgary offered big money, fresh regime & coaching, being named THE Starter, a job for his wife, and likely a condo & car. SSK offered big money and a last second flip from Shivers that he'd have to compete with Nealon for the starting job. The gap toothed homers have such an inferiority complex with Calgary its mind-numbing. Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I just don't get it, Burris showed himself to be a true gapper with that move, leaving Saskatchewan to go to Calgary for a better job. They should love him because he truly is one of them.

Not only that, Ottawa doesn't have any depth in their backups. They're instantly ****** (at least more than they already are) if they lose him.

AtlanticRiderFan Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 And as much as Rider fans hate Burris, I don't even know that it was his decision to leave or not. I'm pretty sure it was because the Riders resigned Greene and didn't have cap space to sign Burris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it was because the Riders resigned Greene and didn't have cap space to sign Burris. Hanks nickname of Banks comes from the Saskatchewan fan base when he shunned them to sign in Calgary for more money. Why else would Rider fans hate him if they were the ones who cut him?

I'm pretty sure it was because the Riders resigned Greene and didn't have cap space to sign Burris. No offense but how would you know? There's lots of us can remember exactly how it went down. Calgary wanted to make a big splash and sign a big name qb to wash the stink of the Feterik era off the team and they paid Burris a ton and gave him the starting job outright. Riders offered him nice money but they were keeping Greene around and wanted competition at the position. Burris doesn't like competition and he likes gettin' paid so he went to Calgary.

The fact that so many Rider dweebs took it personally was embarrassing. I actually felt bad for Hank. You only have so much time to make starter money so he was doing what was obviously best for him and his family. The gap toothed should've ripped Shivers a new one, not Burris. iso_55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Riders signed Nealon Greene first & immediately named him their starter. When FA came Hank knew that Greene would be starting & went to Calgary. That was both a Roy Shivers & a Danny Barrett decision. The Priders for some stupid reason blamed hank when it was those 2 who forced him out. Shivers knew he screwed up & started blaming Hank for leaving. All Rasta Roy was doing was covering his ass for making a mistake.

NotoriousBIG Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 So many reasons to dislike Hank as a QB (especially in cold weather/clutch time) but going to CAL is not one of them.
