Man, Kyle Walters is really earning his pay. Tough job juggling the finances to get the best bang for the Buck with this franchise. Here's to hoping he can pull it off and roll out another championship-calibre football team in 2020.

Well yeah, I got that. LOL! I'm all for having some fun so good for you, I like it! There is something of a tradition on this site that if you make a statement, ie. post something as fact (Nichols is twice the QB that MBT is), you had best be able to back it up because you will likely be challenged on it.

I'm great, thanks, and the Nichols whining has been performed by lots of others long before now. I haven't really said much about him at all. My post wasn't whining about Nichols. It was a playful jab at the person that made the silly statement that Nichols was twice the QB MBT is. You didn't get that? Completion % - Nichols, 71.3 - MBT, 68 Efficiency - Nichols, 107.2 MBT, 99.3 Interception % - Nichols, 2.1 MBT, 2.6 Remarkably close and consider that Nichols played on the best team in the league and MBT played on arguably the worst. It could also be argued that Nichols only played in 9 games due to injury and mostly against the weaker teams whereas MBT played 16 games and faced all the tougher teams in the league, including us and Matt Nichols, against whom he won!

What? You don't agree?

No. He's got plenty left.

Nope.

I'm not sure which way to take that statement. LOL. I know as soon as Pinball opened his mouth it'd chase me back to the Peg.

May be but the last time I was at BMO field it was cavernous due to all the empty seats. You could have set a bomb off in that place and I doubt anyone would notice.

Not at $350K a season.

But, but, Nichols is twice the QB MBT is!

He is a big boy with a live arm. He is not a mini Mac Truck like Streveler was. He reminds me of a Mike Reilly or a Don Jonas type although I know most of you never saw Jonas play. What I don't know is if he is a good field general. I'm sure we'll find out.

MBT is not going to be happy being Nichol's short-yardage QB. Nichols has CFL experience, and little else, on MBT. Nichols doesn't have Andrew Harris and/or our O-line any more. He can't run the ball himself, isn't fast enough or nimble enough to evade pressure, and doesn't have the arm to put the ball into tight spots consistently. Pinball isn't going to be happy paying Nichol's 350K/yr for 3 years to throw the ball away and/or turtle.

Sure he did but I don't think he thought Pinball would give Nichols a 3 year deal. I think Pinball told him he (MBT) is the Argos starter.

LOL! Tell that to MBT and see what happens.

If I was MBT I'd be pissed!

Man, what is Toronto thinking? To our incredible good luck Barker relieved us of Drew Willy after we had inflicted PTSD on the poor man him during his time here. How did that work out for the Argos? Then to our incredible good fortune again Toronto helped us end our 29 year Grey Cup drought by giving us Zach Collaros just in time for our playoff run. Many thanks, Toronto. Now The Argos have picked up the well-worn, recently-released former Bomber QB, Matt Nichols and signed him for 3 years. Sure Matt is a solid veteran QB but with his lack of speed and mobility behind a porous Argo O-line and without Andrew Harris in the backfield I don't see this going well for Matt or the Argos. At least Matt has wriggled free of Lapo but Jarious Jackson? Yeesh! Good luck Matt. You're going to need it!

Well said.

Yes, I loved when Nichols made plays like this ... and this ... Oh wait ...

Yes, I wonder why Nichols keeps turning down those NFL opportunities.

QB unicorn! LOL!

That's what I remember too.

Yeah, they play the exact same way. There won't be any difference.

The important thing is we've moved on from the Lapo/#15 era. It served it's purpose but man, I couldn't have stood another season of dump offs and 3 yard passes on second and 8.

Just sayin'

Who says they aren't?
