Ricky Ray - debate on return/retirement

[gilthethrill]

The Manziel window is now open.
Sadly, I think he'd sell more tickets, so I wouldn't be suprised if our new owners mlse are making calls

I disagree. I don't think MLSE will be making any calls. Jim Popp calls the shots with the Argos.

Also don’t think Manziel is a Trestman type of player.

I don't know how this will play out....but I still see Collaros in Double Blue next season.

So do I. Unless Ray retires before February, I don't see the Argos with any chance at signing Franklin, and Collaros would be great IMO.

I agree. Ricky Ray is not paycheck-driven but we all have families.

My hunch hasn't changed. I think Ricky is coming back. Why? Cos he's in "QB Nirvana" and he knows it. And, because he also knows he's capable. Hank did it, Damon did it and most importantly another immobile QB with a quick release did it under the same system. He can win another CUP, he can jump into 2nd All-Time in "Most Pass Completions," and 3rd in "Yards in a season/passing."

And he can message his future in coaching under a couple of former QB's who know how to coach.

It's win-win.

I think Ricky will rest his bones, and be back AND I don't buy that James Franklin won't buy what Jim Popp is selling also.

Call it optimistic, but I see a large amount of FA's returnees next year, with Ray and Franklin getting paid for starts.

Winning programs are magnetic.

Most any Argos fan could float happily within this scenario. It even - hypothetically, of course - solves the potentially fatal problem of sinking too many dollars into the QB position (and a wonderfully strong QB position at that).

Thankfully, Johnny Football is Hamilton's "opportunity". Although a good outcome for all concerned would also be good for the league.
