    That is a nice way of putting it.

    I don't think Burris wants to play anywhere else at this stage of his career. He has moved his family there and lives year round there. He has done a lot as the face of this new team. He wants to be on this team as they host the GC next year and call it a career after that. He and Harris are playing at MOP levels. It is a nice problem to have. Ottawa is crazy to trade either one. For the next season and a half they can make it work.
    GO ARGOS!!!

    Should Harris win the starting job outright, the only way they can make it work is if Burris takes a pay cut to be the back up. No way a team wants to have total 800k + on the books for their starting and back up QB.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    On the one hand, it's easy to expect Burris, near the end of his career, just to take the path of least resistance, relax and stay settled in Ottawa for less money as backup. On the other, he'd lose about 2-3 hundred grand by doing so.
    But where would he be wanted / needed? Nowhere he'd be dealing from anything like a full deck, i.e., Winnipeg or Montreal (Popp is probably gone if he flubs this season, so he may try resorting to "miracle weapons" for his salvation, like Adolph.)

    I suspect Burris would stay put in Ottawa.

    Not exactly as you described, but the result is looking the same after Harris was injured tonight.

    I couldn't believe it when I heard it this morning. I was so done from working in that heat that I crashed at 8:30. I haven't seen the play yet but he a reckless. It was just a matter of time.

    Wow, if true this is definitely the Argo curse for the second year in a row.
    Also for the second year in a row a former team QB was having a MOP year when injured.

    I know I've been outspoken about how much I believe Harris is or isn't the key to the RedBlacks success, but I hope he's OK. Ido like him. I' m just not sold on him being the next great CFL QB.

    So far early in the season he has shown as being well on route to an MOP like season, granted it is not a long term reflection though.
    When compared to Ray's performance so far, there is no comparison it is light years ahead.

    Ray knows that slow and steady wins the race.
