franklin as trade to Winnipeg ?

[macspectrum]

How would Bridge help the Argos with the ratio if as a QB he doesn't count as a CDN in the ratio ?
Prukop is a better runner than Franklin and yet Trestman still has Franklin out there on short yardage.

Do you even have any idea about what you're talking about or are you just stating random things because you want Bridge and Messam here ? Not to mention how Trestman has become your new Chris Rudge.

franklin [$250k + $90k is possible playoff $], the argos BACKUP QB, makes more $ than macbeth who is starting
i see that as a problem
maybe u don't
also bridge [ $150,800 in “hard money”. There is $63,000 in playtime incentives] is cdn and would help the argos w/ ratio

[macspectrum]

I can't speak for anyone else, but I personally don't hate you (or any other poster here). But I do hate reading the same stuff over and over (Messam 2 tds blah blah). And I do hate reading nonsensical statements (like "bridge is less cost effective that bridge") that, even if they are innocent, honest mistakes, could have been caught by simply reading a post once over before pressing "Post Quick Reply." I've asked a couple of times if you read your own posts. You haven't answered and maybe you can't be bothered to do so. But I would suggest if you want to be treated more seriously, you consider a bit of self-editing, and try to follow the site's clearly established protocols for interaction. You might also familiarize yourself with how the "Quote" function works: when someone quotes a statement and then directly addresses that statement in a reply. Somehow the fact I was doing that with respect to your Bridge statement seems to have eluded you.

sorry, but u do know that strokes can affect reading comprehension
but as i stated, my new sig explains things

This thread really is a load of crap.

WTF are you talking about now ?

Bridge would also be making more than Bethel Thompson. And once again him being a QB Bridge does not count as part of the ratio, so how exactly does he help the Argos with the ratio.

Tap out now, you are being sucked into the stupidity vortex.

All one has to do it look at who started the thread. I for one have grown tired of his schtick; just as I did when he wouldn't get off of his Chris Rudge posts as Rocket.

FWIW, I do think Franklin will most likely be gone at least when his contract ends.. maybe sooner.

Probably right; I should just let the mods handle this, but this idiocy has gone on long enough IMO.

i think franklin is way too expensive to run the short yardage offence
he had a stint as starting qb here in toronto - kinda failed
franklin is more expensive than bridge [next yr give macbeth a raise]
.
i think the nfl window is closing on bridge, i worry he would not sign a 2 yr extension w/ argos, w/ AAF looming

What NFL window? Sorry dude, NFL never had any consideration in a 50.7% college passer.

Franklin is the future. MBT showed tonight he is not. Trestman needs to watch the game again and watch over and over how Masolli moved the pocket, bought time and made plays. His offence game plan needs to adjust for a mobile QB.

You realize that you're talking about Marc Trestman right ?

FYI - Bridge did go to an NFL camp (rookie version even?) - with Detroit i think it was, and he was on some NFL draft prospects boards at QB; so saying he "never had any NFL consideration" is incorrect. NFL deep thinkers (a few of them anyways) would always give some "consideration" to a 6-5 athletic/mobile QB with rocket arm strength and who had a bunch of starts in Div I ball down there.

OTOH - CFL deep thinkers gave zero consideration to a top CIS QB (some all-time best passing #s (i.e. not 50 % but up there in all-time best career completion % #s), Vanier winner and pro QB size & mobility and who was a starter from rookie on in) like Laval's Hugo Richard - zero look what-so-ever to even compete in a CFL TC.

I think Saskatchewan will move on from Collaros in the off season. So, I wonder if Jones will try to acquire Franklin this season or in the off season ?

Would be a good move for Sask as I think Franklin still a good QB with huge upside, and it's pretty clear that Trestman doesn't care for Franklin. I wouldn't be against the move as I'd rather not see guys like Franklin and Prukop waste away here with a Coach who has little use for them.

What is the term of Franklin’s Toronto contract?

Two years.

Lots of FA QB's this upcoming off season though; I wouldn't even be surprised if some left for the AAF. Could be a very different CFL next season; hence why I think Franklin could be on the move.

You think it's clear Trestman doesn't care for Franklin. I don't share those thoughts. I see a coach that felt he wasn't getting enough from the position, made a change and has received better play at this point. Trestman has said that he still has a lot of confidence in Franklin. It really is up to Franklin to take better advantage the next opportunity he gets, and I believe he will. And BTW, Bethel-Thompson is not under contract next year at this time while Franklin is.
