Harris, Collaros, Fajardo, Kilgore and probably Franklin. The Toronto Argonauts - QB farm team of the CFL. Is it possible for the team to keep a young QB?

While he was never an Argo, it is slightly frustrating that Popp was the one who found Vernon Adams Jr.

At least Harris and Collaros were understandable as we had Ray in MVP form. We're probably going to lose Franklin because MBT!
Not thinking about the future, and holding onto Ricky Ray too long lead to the Argos losing Harris, Collaros in his prime, and Fajardo. It’ll probably happen again now with the morons leading this team sticking with the clearly backup at best Bethel-Thompson.
Prukop and O’Connor should get the rest of the reps this season IMO, but I see no point in holding my breath on that, as the morons will ride Bethel-Thompson and Franklin until the fat lady sings.
I`ll be shocked if Prukop, and especially O`Connor play a down for this team this season; yup - better to stick with the average to mediocre performances of QBs who have shown they are not going to win consistently rather than go to a young QB and see what they can do.
Decision making of CFL coaching staffs - both rosters and play-book & calling; are teams like Ottawa, BC and the Argos really going to stick with their GM, HC and coaching staff after putrid, laughable seasons ÉÉÉ
After today's latest fiasco, O'Connor should be starting next week and for the rest of the season.
Or alternating with Prukop.
The history with our 3 QB's leaving, ultimately some can be attributed for the stupidity of manangement for staying with Ray too long, even after the GC 2017 season.
That's when he should have been forced to retire period with the transitioning into at least Harris and Fajardo remaining to battle it out.

I have been calling for O'Connor to start for a few weeks now, mostly out of spite for the mostly horrible decisions of the coaching staff, and mostly lackluster performance of the current starting QBs. But I realize putting O'Connor into this mess will mostly be a disaster for him. But I if he doesn't play at least 1 series from here on out, I will be very disappointed over and above how disappointed I already am in this coaching staff/management.
After the Argos are "officially" eliminated this weekend in BC I would like to see Prukop start or play a lot against Ottawa the following week. As others have said he's been here three years now and should have some knowledge of the offense and the League. Got see what he can do now. Let him get in there and allow him to use his legs when needed. Who would have thought at the start of the season that backup QB's Evans, Fajardo, Arbuckle, Adams, Streveler and Kilgore would all be starting and in most cases doing very well. Simplify the offense for him if needed. You don't need a 101 different plays that makes the OC sound smart. Then give O'Conner some plays in the second game against Ottawa. He has a strong arm and a quick release sounds perfect for a short passing game to get his feet wet and slow down the pass rush. They have four Import offensive linemen on the roster. I say start at least three of them, LT and both guards and drop one of the receiver's Smith or Edwards, they not seeing the ball much anyway. Let Noel and Gittens replace one of them. Give us season ticket holders a reason to look forward to coming to the games.
Sorry about that James and McLeod I like you both as people, but we have seen enough, and because I like you I would love to see you both get some playoff money and a chance at winning the Grey Cup. Starting on the trade deadline October the 9th.
Argos may not yet be "officially eliminated" but here is their status, for those who may believe they will finish the year with a five-game win streak (cough cough)...
They are like the small-mouth bass "keeper", in the bottom of my 14-ft aluminum boat a couple weekends ago. Flipping, flopping and gasping for breath until
I crush its skull with my knock-out stick (which the Lions will do in a few days)
PS
for those who are voting, this is my 2019 entry for Laff of the Year...
