    Only if he is released, and negotiates a cap friendly contract for the remainder of this season would that even be a possibility. Won't happen.

    I agree. If Ricky stays healthy, he is still the best QB to lead this team. As much as I loved it when Zac was an Argo, I just don't see him coming back, if he was not guaranteed to start.

    Collaros' stock has fallen and he no longer has the luxury to insist upon starting. Upon reflection, however, ZC with the Riders seems most likely, followed by the Argos and Als.

    Yes, Ray is playing stellar football. The drop off thereafter is unacceptable (on the evidence there's no Jennings or Garcia on deck). No Ray, no chance. Warning - Will Robinson - danger approaching.

    I really don't know if there is anything going on but there have been some rumours out there of Johhny Manziel signing in Hamilton within the next few days. Two former members of the media who used to cover the CFL extensively, Peter Young and Marty York, have both mentioned this on Twitter in the past 24 hours.

    Yeah I've heard that rumour too. If true what a circus that will be!

    The second half of the year will be interesting to see where Collaros fits in with the new HC.
    On top of that, at the end of the year there is likely to be a sweepstake going after probably one of the best FA QB's in a while, James Franklin.
    Even though Ricky has had a remarkable so far and for me is the comeback player of the year, you would think the Argos will be in the hunt with Montreal, Hamilton and likely Saskatchewan.

    Could be a big year in terms of QB's going to Free Agency = Collaros, Lulay, and Franklin.

    Amazing how high Franklin's market value is perceived to be, sure he looks like a promising young QB but hasn't had the chance to prove anything at this point.
    Collaros simply isn't the same QB he was 3 years ago while Lulay is on the downside of a pretty solid career and has battled serious injuries himself.

    June Jones PLUS Johnny Football ? - the Pussycats will run the table the rest of this season, and win the GC with ease.

    Poor "Caretaker" Bob-O there - guy has no clue about football, and a moron like Tillspin whispering football wisdom to him. Much as us Argo fans love to hate the Ticats, I don't wish for any CFL team to be useless or pathetic - not good for the league IMO - but this Ticat team could go 0 & 18; or at least match the 1 & 17 record they had under a tired and lost Ronnie Lancaster a number of years back.

    I would LOVE to see the Pussy-Cats go 0-18.
    But yes, an extended period of that type of record would probably damage the league.
    So, I would like to see enough years like that for the Cats to relocate somewhere else!

    I don't like our chances in this game. A coaching change often results in an immediate improvement, sometimes only for the short term. A reenergized Cats team, on Labour Day, with an enthusiastic crowd, combined with our pathetic offensive showing last night has me worried. I think I'll play it safe and watch this one on TV.

    I would love to see Lulay in double blue. Hard to believe he fell so far then resurrected himself. Shoulda woulda could a put a pitch in for him in the off-season.

    I don't know, will soon be 34 and has battled serious injuries in the past.
    Would be a stop gap solution IMO.
    Bottom line is the Argos need to find and develop the next guy (probably easier said than done).

    That is exactly what I was thinking when I read the post. I have debating the making the trip to Hamilton but with the 7pm start time offers the savages and extra 8-10 hours of drinking could be too much for my liking. I fear a lose though.....
    CFL alive and well all others can go to Hell!

    Jennings and Collaros need to take a back seat for a while before they become totally broken. This is the road back for them

    Jeremiah Masoli has been named the starter for Monday. Desperate times indeed in the Hammer. The Cats were in disarray even before the Briles debacle and now their star QB is benched before the marquee game of the year for them but like others on here I will hold my tongue until after the game. Too many bizarre things have happened on Labour Day for me to start chirping now.

    Probably the smart thing to do. Should have made the change on one of their road games this year. This year is not all on Collaros, but his poor play in addition to bad O-line, receivers, play calling, and horrible defense are why with are winless.

    A new coach, and a more mobile QB, leaves a bit of surprise for the Argo defense. The Argos should re-watch the Ham-Edm game from last year when Massoli lead the huge comeback and was on fire to see what he's capable of.(but not with this years team)

    Masoli is more mobile than Collaros?
    First time I've heard that.
