MBT re-signs

[R.J]

Not the news I wanted. Hopefully we sign/acquire a starter

Not surprising at all, as the Argos have become known for making poor QB decisions, still disappointing though. I was hoping Arbuckle or Maier would shake loose, but not completely sold on Masoli. Then again, with Dinwiddie's offence, I'm not expecting much excitement anyways, no matter who the QB is.

It’s times like this where I can’t help but wonder what Brock Sunderland would do.

[R.J]

What does Sunderland have to do with the statement I made ?

Oh right, because I wanted Sunderland here previously and he fell flat in his face in Edmonton, anything I say now will resort to you coming back with Sunderland. How long have you been waiting for me to come back to use that ?

Easy there. I was just thinking out loud. Why you gotta take things so personal? The world doesn’t revolve around you.

I don't know about the contract numbers (I don't concern myself with the CFL cap), but I don't mind the team coming back with familiar faces on offense to grow together. I didn't see any sure QBs to take them to the Grey Cup available, but can't wait to see the fight for the backup position.

With three franchises potentially competing to sign a starting QB from a pool of talent headlined by Masoli, MBT and Trevor Harris the Argos made a sensible move in signing MBT.
$400k for a starting CFL QB on a one year term is the going rate these days.
I agree, upgrading the backup QB situation would be in their best interest.

Might be the "going rate" for most top CFL QBs these days; not all CFL teams will be paying that though.

Desperation big CFL buck$ signing this is IMO; Argos' top thinkers were afraid they would be stuck with no "proven" (sic) "veteran" QB.

MBT should have lots of opportunity to prove his nay-sayers wrong this coming season; hope he is surrounded by solid talent thru the offence AND some smart offensive coaching (most important IMO).
