Argo talk on Primetime Sports 590

[Topshelf]

The CFL would be better if there were long term elite QBs on each team.
Aside from Ray right now, most fans would have a hard time naming QBs of other teams.
Plus, the QBs shift around from team to team too much. It would be better if fans had a chance to get attached to their players, and also for new guys to come in rather than some of the veterans sticking around way past their prime. Im convinced the Riders would have beat the Argos if they played Bridge. But that's a sports thing, not just the CFL.

Then why do so many people in Southern Ontario drive to Bills games? Since Jim Kelly's last season in 1996, 19 different QB's have started games for the Bills.

Regarding player movement, I agree. That's why I would love to see the league put in an exemption of 15% towards the salary cap of any free agents that re-sign with their own teams.

That's an awesome idea. Unfortunately it would probably be abused somehow, but on the surface it seems like a great idea. Player stability has been a real issue in the CFL. There needs to be some incentive for teams to fix it. There's nothing worse than when a team releases a competent veteran, who may be on a bit of the downside of his career, but still very competent, because they can replace him with an unknown quantity signing who will make slightly less money but may perform at the level of the released veteran.

Seriously?
