I am of the camp that we need both competitive and exciting football. I think that Jim Popp understands an uphill battle for fans in a large metropolitan area.
Excellent Montreal football teams just about filled Olympic Stadium for playoff games.
Before the salary cap, the big signing of Rocket Ismail provided both the talent, competitive football and the media coverage that kept the Argos relevant. Also sold 40,000 tickets too. I don't propose to sign the expected #1 NFL Draft Pick, but wouldn't mind a marquee player. Popp has been known to pull the trigger on that type of a player in the past.
