    Completion precentage means diddly nowadays IMO, every CFL team runs some form of high percentage offense, which inflates the numbers for QB's.

    I'm sure Buckley's passport has nothing to do with why you like him OV.

    Trevor Harris just re-signed in Ottawa - and I somehow doubt if this was ever an option for Franklin should he bolt for greener pastures.

    Hamilton is likely hinging on a Masoli/Manziel combination - with Montreal and Condell hoping for Collaros.

    Hence, Franklin's only option to get a starting job would be Saskatchewan - assuming the team drops Vernon Adams entirely, and Bridge leaves (?)

    Franklin come February might not have many more options for starter type $$ and the hope of a Starting QB shot....

    Just like I'm sure Franklin's passport and hip US college ball resume has nothing to do why you like him ?

    Didn't Mr. Ed - now grazing on the grass in BC - have Franklin on his Esks roster? And BC - with Lulay hurt and maybe questionable, plus Jennings who struggled much of last year - might be looking for another QB ?

    Nope. Passport means nothing to me to be honest. It clearly does to you though.

    Oh for sure it means nothing to you. Very honest of you. You/nobody would ever pre-judge CFL players based on passport. LOL.

    Neat! I didn't expect this to happen so soon. Is it really possible that no other team was interested in offering him a competitive contract next month?

    Wow, I didn't see this coming before Ricky's announcement. Hope we can have both guys this year, but if not, I love having Franklin as our presumed starter.

    Not likely. You have to assume Mtl would have been very interested. I imagine Franklin has been given starter's money and told the job is his.

    Not with Montreal needing a starter pretty badly.

    It seems unlikely but other teams had to wait to talk to him or his agent otherwise it would have been tampering.

    And the CFL isn't known for tampering.
