    With scoring down, the NFL seems to be hungrier than ever for QBs. I think Kelly would go if he got an offer in a situation he liked. Such an offer may be unlikely, but all it takes is one.

    I don't buy OV's claim that NFL thinking was different in the 80s. Moon's signing in 1984 is commonly accepted as the NFL atoning for GOBs (the real racist kind) overlooking him in the 70s. Moon's situation may have helped Brock a year later, but he had to work out for three teams before the Rams signed him. I don't remember Holloway, Dewalt or Dunigan being pursued for #1 NFL jobs. Sean Salisbury didn't get into a game with the Vikings until his 3rd year. Tom Clements didn't rise above #3 during his NFL attempt.

    Dinwiddie's name has been brought up as a possible candidate for the head job at his alma mater Boise State. Losing our coach and QB would be really depressing.

    Yes it certainly would, I hope they both stay with the Argonauts but if it ever happened you would hope for some clarity sooner rather than later while some viable options are still available for Toronto.
