Argo QBs for TC ?

[Mocha]

Ah yes, the CFL's little Lebowski QB achiever internship program, for Canadians who show some promise.

Something will come of this, eventually. ;o)

Tre Ford has done all right since his internship, but yeah it's certainly not (yet) turned into a direct pipeline to CFL roster spots for top USports QBs.

I'd far rather have two guys who have at least been in the system for a year and been exposed to Cdn football than jettison one of them in favour of a kid fresh out of the U.S. .

So you rather would have kept Ben Holmes over Dukes and Scott last year? And IIRC, you were adamant that you had no interest in Cody Fajardo as insurance last year.

And it never will

Holmes was beaten out for the job -- nothing wrong with someone winning or losing a job in head-to-head competition. Although he dressed for just one game in 2022, he had been with the team for about three-quarters of that season, and consequently I expected he would emerge as the No. 2 based on his previous exposure to the offence. Clearly that experience, such as it was, wasn't enough to beat out Dukes and Scott. It doesn't change my opinion that there is no good reason to get rid of Scott at this point, especially since we might start the season with a new No. 1 and a new No. 2. Dukes has less experience now than Kelly had heading into last year, and Scott has even less than that. But they both have more than anyone new to the CFL will have. If a newbie comes in and beats out either one, great. But cutting Scott before camp would make zero sense IMO even if we didn't have the Kelly cloud hanging over the team.

I still want no part of Cody Fajardo, although it's obviously a moot point since he's not on the market.

It will be a surprise if the civil case is not settled before it goes to court with a NDA as part of the settlement. If that is the case, the league may find its hands tied re any discipline against Kelly. However the league might still be able to fine the organization for not following league defined protocol. It is quite possible Kelly will be starting QB from day one, if the afore mentioned actions occur.

Scott did not impress in training camp, in practices I observed or in his brief game time. He might be in training camp but if the team signs a couple of more promising QBs, Scott's time in camp may be very short. That is only my opinion and who knows Scott may surprise us all but based on last year's play it's not likely.

So if it weren't a moot point, you would want no part of a QB that just led his team to a championship? Sounds personal to me, Paul.

It depends how you define personal, I guess. I've never met him, but I simply don't like the guy either as a quarterback or a team leader. Personal preference.

Well, his current coach has now had him in 2 different cities. Safe to say he disagrees with you.

Sure. Again, personal preference. I'm also not a fan of Maas, FWIW. Good on both guys for winning the Grey Cup; that doesn't mean I have to like them or wish they were Argos.

My understanding is that the league's investigation is separate from any legal issues that Kelly and the team are facing.

The same could be said about what’s others, like myself, thought of MBT’s leadership after his last season here.

I'm shocked.

It is tricky. If the case does go to court, the league could investigate but would not likely reveal their findings while the case is ongoing. If as expected, the parties settle with a NDA before court commences, the parties would be unable to speak about the case, which obviously would make any investigation practically impossible. Cases like this seldom reach court unless the defendant(s) feel they have an unassailable defense. Even then most try the avoid a civil court trial as nothing is ever a 100% certainty in such matters. However, the league could investigate if league protocol was followed.

The recent tweets are disconcerting. The video, assuming it's real, is downright disturbing.

Video doesn’t help. If he can act like that on a live video, I don’t doubt he can explode on any coworker, trainer etc .

For the benefit of those like myself who have not seen the video - judge for yourselves.

Yep, I don't know what else to say.

Can some please provide me with some context for his video?

Pro athlete uses inappropriate language on social media. Stop the presses.

The pearl-clutching around here is getting out of hand.
