    You have any suggestions for a QB who can play and is not currently signed? They aren't in heavy supply.

    If Ricky gets hurt, Willy will be first up unless Fajardo pushes past him on the depth chart. Until we see what he can do under Trestman, I'm not ready to write Willy off. But I would love to see Fajardo continue to develop, and expect we will.

    I'm not ready to write of Matthews either. In the past when given his chances, he has moved the football. Untimely interceptions have been his downfall. Maybe a philosophy change helps him more than anything.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    It's gotta be our turn to have Kevin Glenn. No?

    PS - I like Fajardo a lot too. Good teams almost never have rookie QBs though.

    We already had him for a day or two. Saskatchewan would be pretty foolish to dump him, given they have an ex-NFLer/CFL rookie in Young and a somewhat experienced but still raw QB in Bridge.

    We've already had him and traded him away the same day.

    On May 19, 2004, the Roughriders traded Glenn to the Toronto Argonauts for their best selection (third overall) in the 2005 CFL Draft, however later in the day, Glenn was traded to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for their best selection in that draft (also the third overall selection).

    Question was guys who are not already signed elsewhere.

    Sorry. It was supposed to be a joke. Pretty weak I guess.

    Nothing wrong with adding a little levity, successful or not, to this forum. My point, which is not a joke, is that for all those wishing we had someone other than Ray, he is clearly at this moment the best available QB. Maybe Willy outplays him in camp, or Fajardo, or one of the new guys, or maybe another team makes a better QB available by cutting or trading, but right now there is no one better available to the Argos.

    No issue whatsoever with Ray as the starter... just wishing that we had a more proven option behind him. Maybe one of the other guys will respond well to Trestman's coaching and become that player. Sure hope so.
