    He had retired according to Calgary's site. Milanovich would know him as well as anyone, as he was his OC for a number of years in Montreal. The guy always has seemed to have a lot of promise, but never really got the chance that Harris is getting with Argos this year. Who's the odd man out here when Ray comes back. Gale? Maybe Barker can turn somebody into a draft pick down the road.

    He has started and won a number of games in this league over the years so I would vehemently disagree with your appraisal. He isn't a star QB but if the Argos were looking for a dependable insurance policy who knows the system they made about as good of a choice as they could here.

    I agree, and as far as that goes, he might be able to fill the same sort of role Jarious Jackson did for us in 2012.

    You would vehemently disagree with both mine and Snow Rouge's opinion there; and I wouldn't expect you to disagree with basically anything the Argo braintrust does Ravi - they could have signed any former CFL QB with a bit of experience and I\d bet you'd be OK with it. ;o)

    This is really getting old, OV. Your old chestnut of "You only disagree with me because you are a simpleton who blindly accept everything management does" is not an argument, it's a childish retort.

    No worries there.

    Ravi & I are old CFL fan forum buddies (going way back to Total CFL years or eons ago, eh Ravi) - we may disagree on many things CFL and about are cherished Argos, but I have the utmost respect for Ravi as a CFL fan poster/commentator = one of the most knowledgeable and respectful CFL fans I know of. We make take the odd jibe shot at either other, but we can agree to disagree I believe ? Wobbler may have thought he needed to come to the defence of Ravi here, but he's a big boy who can stick up for himself I believe.

    Don't like hearing opinions that fly against the norm of whatever Argo team thinkers do ? - then this is maybe not the best forum to view here - unless you just like hearing Argo cheerleading. I do like viewing the real Argo cheerleaders however.

    OV has characterized our relationship well! He was away from the forum for a bit last season and I missed him and I don't think I was the only one.

    How can that possibly be the conclusion you've drawn from today's posts?!

    OV, you are our CIS expert. Your contributions regarding Canadian University prospects are *gold*, IMHO. As with any other forum member, your opinions - concordant or discordant - on any Argo-related topic are welcome. Can you understand that your dismissal of other people's opinions is the problem?

    No kidding. I think OV's MO is getting a little tired around here. It's not a trial by mob quite yet, but reading someone bitch about everything the Argos do is quickly not becoming welcome here. You would think he just got fired from the Argos! As for McPherson, it's not like the Argos are going to win or lose the Grey Cup with him. The other option was a terrible looking Sims taking up that roster spot, so it is an upgrade/depth move for sure.

    Which veteran QB would you have liked to see them bring in, OV? BTW, I would have been totally fine with them going with Harris, Gale and Kilgore and not bringing McPherson in but if they really felt that they needed a veteran, then McPherson was about as good of an option as there is.

    Veteran CFL QB's available to sign aren't exactly plentiful, McPherson is at least worth a look and a decent insurance policy, besides he is at least familiar with Milanovich's offence.
