    How is this guy even given any opportunity in professional football?

    His college stats are supremely unimpressive... https://www.foxsports.com/college-fo...n-player-stats
    He only played in 14 games over 4 years with 12 of those at FCS Big Sky Conference school Sacramento State - not exactly a powerhouse school or conference.
    Completion % of 55-58 over his three years there.
    Small number of pass attempts per game (18 max.)
    Average passing yards per game of 138 or less.
    7 td passes versus 8 interceptions over 3 years.

    His professional career is equally unimpressive...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLeod_Bethel-Thompson.

    WTF???
    Didn't he get a couple of NFL looks? - that means tons to a typical CFL GOB personnel guy or GM.

    He received lots of NFL looks, including three stints with San Francisco, and two each with the Vikings and Dolphins so it would appear as though those three teams saw something in him that they liked. We have a few Vikings fans on here. Perhaps some of them can comment on Bethel-Thompson's time with Minnesota.

    I am guessing that Franklin is hurt. He whacked his throwing hand pretty hard on a helmet late in the game Friday, and even if it's not broken that can really make it difficult to grip the ball properly.

    Pulling a healthy Franklin in favour of BT would smack of desperation at this point in the season, and I don't believe Trestman is that kind of coach.

    is trestman ill ?

    i mean seriously .....
    if he was so enamoured with by BT was not give him snaps in 2 blowout games against 'peg ?
    i still maintain that the cfl is a mobile qb league not pocket passing which is very nfl thinking
    doug flutie was very mobile and ran around and very successful
    mobility is even more important if argos have a weak o line
    .
    wilder stays to protect qb blind side, qb rolls to his strong side, cross [who is catchless in 2 games] goes across middle into flat
    qb then has option to run or throw
    .
    archer needs to be fired
    let marcus ball call d on field
