And some one will give it to him. I dont think they get willy value though. Yeah unlike Willy, Zac probably could hit the reboot button with another team provided he was given a better O-line and receivers to once again throw to. I'm thinking if the Argos aren't quite able to get a deal done for Franklin, Collaros might be willing to head back there if a takeover for Ray plan is put in place.

He put a gutsy effort into some their losses - played his butt off while the Esks were pretty near ripping his head off.

I wasn't sure what to expect once he got here. I'm more then happy to say I was wrong about him tho, hes becoming one very damn good QB. Joe Namath-esque. As am I. I am pleasantly surprised at how good he is playing. I think it wise to also give credit to our O-line. I don't think it's coincidence that Nichols play blossomed at the same time our O-line congealed into what it is now.

Also, now with this whole talk of Collaros wanting out of Hamilton and Masoli now the guy, I also wonder whether he's salvageable on another team, or if he's become Willy damaged. Well you were pretty damn close...

And I don't say that because I'm a defender of Chapdelaine or think he's a good head coach. He'll probably be heading to Hamilton or Toronto next to work as Trestman or Jones's OC where I think he's better. But Kavis Reed sucks as a GM and he's not going to fix this mess as a HC, especially not after canning Thorpe who was the one good coordinator on that team. Montreal is officially the CFL dumpster fire now, and if I'm an NFL cut I'm looking to go anywhere but there. Mr Wetenhall, you might want to consider selling the team cuz this is embarrassing to our league.

Well, I don't think Mack had any say in this whatsoever. I do think Wetenhall and Reed came to this decision, though.

Yeah I believe so too especially since MTL has been doing this even before Mack showed up. The point though was that it's only fitting that he's there because he fits right into this fire the coach circus culture that the Als have perpetrated even more so than us now.

Unfortunately for Als fans, the owners will not sell despite local interest. http://montrealgazette.com/sports/football/cfl/were-not-for-sale-alouettes-owner-robert-wettenhall-says Even if the Als haven't lost enough money to start hitting the panic button yet, keep this gong show and losing season stuff up and it's going to get worse. My what a stubborn old man.

Yep, Stephen Jyles, kicker Grant Shaw and a 2012 first round draft pick. Edmonton then traded that first rounder (which was 2nd overall, ended up being Jabar Westerman) to B.C. for the 14th pick (which became Justin Capiccoti) and the 38th pick (which became Ryan King). Toronto was later charged with blackmail and extortion.

September 14, 20177 yr Author comment_291043 A trade that prolonged the career of the otherwise inept Jim Barker.

September 18, 20177 yr Author comment_291937 Surely nobody though would let Kavis Reed come back as GM next year. I'd pull the trigger and ship him and nearly everyone on staff out at the end of this season and start fresh if I had any plans to rebuild the crater out there in in MTL.
