We do not know the full extent of Ray's injury yet, but I'm curious to know when was the last time an Argo QB played a full season? I think Kerry Joseph may have played a full season in 2008 and Flutie played full seasons in both 1996 and 1997.

Flutie was the last QB to not miss a start. Joseph did not suffer an injury in '08 but Cody Pickett started and played two full games shortly after Don Matthews took over as head coach. I don't recall Joseph missing time due to injury in '09 either but he did not start every game. What about Cleo Lemon? Did he not start every game in 2010?

I believe the illustrious Dalton Bell started a game or two in 2010.

Good question. I vaguely recall him playing a series in the final game in montreal where everyone was resting their starters and the argos won 30-4.

it was november 4PM on a sunday at McGill. Couldn't recall a worst time for an outdoor game there. Argo Cheerleaders were on hand selling their infamous playing cards which i don't think any team ever duplicated.

Yes, Bell started in a home loss to Saskatchewan in 2010 (Oct 2).

Lemon started the following week in a game where the Argos clinched a playoff spot.

Did Lemon miss any games with his exposed nerve or did he start the next game, I can't remember (all I remember is Area 51's posts lol). Damon Allen never played a full season?

Nope--I think he was mostly healthy during his 2005 MOP campaign, but sat the last week against Ottawa.

In 2011, Lemon missed one start in Edmonton with the exposed nerve. That was a game that the Argos absolutely should have won (remember the ridiculous clock incident at the end of the first half where the Esks got three plays off in five seconds?).

Oh yes, the final game ever for the Ottawa Renegades. Damon missed a start or two in '03 as well, didn't he?

I have blocked anything to do with Cleo Lemon and the "high school" offence that the Argonauts employed at that time!!

I don't remember, Ravi, but I do remember Marcus Brady starting a game late in the season that the Argos had to win against Calgary. I think Damon had to come in during that game and lead the Argos to victory.
