Re: 2025 Argonauts Roster
I watched Duggan with STL of the UFL. His throwing motion needs work....perhaps an entire overhaul. He lacked accuracy but playing spring ball that has a short TC with no Ex games wouldn't help. He can run though.
Re: 2025 Argonauts Roster
It's nice to see the Argos actively trying to improve this team. I still have nightmares about 2009 when there was just one player on the practice roster over the final few weeks of the season and the Cynamon/Sokolowski ownership group had clearly given up.

Re: 2025 Argonauts Roster
I agree. DT Joe Wallace had a good year in the UFL helping his team win the Title (along with recently signed DB Willie Drew), It appears he is on the active roster and could be on the field Monday in beer smelling city known as "The Hammer".
Re: 2025 Argonauts Roster
He carried his team into the 2022 CFP when they had no business being there, on the strength of his personal character, grit and determination. That level of competitiveness can’t be taught. He’s come to the right coach to improve his throwing motion.gilthethrill wrote: ↑Wed Aug 27, 2025 4:36 pmI watched Duggan with STL of the UFL.

Re: 2025 Argonauts Roster
Pretty decent US college ball resume; as opposed to signings like Dukes and Scott. Always like a run threat QB in the CFL and a tough competitor is a good thing too (Matt Dunigan like). Hope u are right about this guy Rich - as u were with C. Kelly.RichK wrote: ↑Wed Aug 27, 2025 5:03 pmHe carried his team into the 2022 CFP when they had no business being there, on the strength of his personal character, grit and determination.

Re: 2025 Argonauts Roster
I really like the signings of Duggan and Wallace but admittedly know little of Doiron. However, a little part of me is concerned that the arrival of Duggan is due to some uncertainty over Kelly’s long term health. I hope that this isn’t the case.

Re: 2025 Argonauts Roster
Duggan doesn’t have anything close to Chad’s world-class arm, not many QBs do, but when we talk about tough competitors Duggan is like next level. His play in that ‘22 playoff has become the stuff of legend. He got absolutely pummelled again and again, both running the ball and passing, but he somehow kept getting up and making big plays against a highly-favoured opponent. It was unforgettable.OV Argo wrote: ↑Wed Aug 27, 2025 6:16 pmPretty decent US college ball resume; as opposed to signings like Dukes and Scott.
