Ambles ? - WTF ??? - is Murphy still working secretly behind the scenes ?

I think that's a perfect spot for Worthy who will get a cushion out there and can make things happen in space.

Really hope Collins is not out of the picture entirely. But if he is, I like your idea re Gittens, and I think either Worthy or Anderson could be useful at the field WR.

His rights were very coveted,the big piece back from the Nick Arbuckle trade.

Hope it works out

Though the Argos haven't formally announced the signing, Chad tweeted his confirmation

I like the Kelly signing. The Argos need to develop a quarterback behind MBT. It would be nice if both Macdonald and Kelly are on the roster to continue being developed to takeover perhaps even by next year.

Big arm... big talent... we'll see if he's had enough time to grow up a bit!

**Shatto** · 02-11-2022, 11:37 AM

Kelly has huge talent but also a huge tendency to unacceptable and disruptive behavior. Not sure he is worth the risk.

Wonder what the guy's mind-set is coming in ? Likely thinking he will be the obvious starter choice and is going to kick-@$$ in this dinky little minor league ? ;o)

His fans/followers sure think so. Many have expressed desire to get a jersey or watch the games. I keep reminding everyone, that making the team and watching the season in streets would be a successful start, but yeah none understand the talent already ahead of him.

I wonder if QB Deshone Kizer, who was released by Tennessee Franchise of the NFL in September is still on the Argos neg list?

Wow... I think that Kizer could be an excellent CFL quarterback... after a little seasoning.

I'm going to give Chad Kelly the benefit of the doubt.

He can't really control the attitude of those who are pumping his tires who are not familiar with the Canadian Football League.

Ambles had roughly the same receiving yardage that Collins had. The difference however is that Collins was a little more established and is a year younger. This was Ambles "breakout" season and I imagine his salary expectation was lower than Collins so here we are.

The Argos should absolutely not lose sight of either Anderson or Jeanpierre.

You mean the John Murphy that was instrumental in helping turn the Argos into a 9 win team in 2021? That John Murphy?

You are missing the bigger picture here. Murphy is a GOB. He should have made sure Blake Nill was the head coach and had 24 Canadian starters every game.

Ambles was board-hands deluxe for the Stumps last season; hard to not notice that if you watched most of their games.

Now you have done it.
