No, this is a crazy hot take.....it's definitely not that bad, and is likely what we're looking at for this year. I want Nichols back, too, but it's not the death-throes if McGuire has to play at some point...

I like McGuire's potential but he is just too inexperienced to give us a legit chance of winning consistently when the inevitable happens to Collaros. If it was just a game or two here or there I'd be fine with McGuire, but I honestly believe that ZC will miss at least half the season. Edited January 27, 20205 yr by GCn20

That, or another experienced QB, to come our way. Irving says Strev is going to the NFL....so (vomit) let's hope MBT is available. Edited January 27, 20205 yr by GCn20
January 27, 20205 yr comment_458431 Instead of signing Nichols, that money is better used to re-up Willie and Drake. Besides, if he does sign with the NFL, I'm not convinced Strev will make it past training camp. Edited January 27, 20205 yr by Pete Catan's Ghost

January 27, 20205 yr comment_458436 How is McGuire suppose to get experience if he's never given a chance to be the back up. Great move by the Blue.... depends on the contract but we may have enough room to sign Nichols also. I'm sure he's loyal enough to take a 200k
January 27, 20205 yr comment_458439 Tighten up your laces Lucky. With BuckBuck and Collaros behind the wheel....the passing game is definitely going to look different.
January 27, 20205 yr comment_458440 Most likely Zack is gonna pull in 300k in hard money...with ability to max at 450 to 500k...which generally for a legit number 1 is pretty damn good...No way he is getting guaranteed 400+...not from anyone and he knows it...he stays upright and plays full year....I would bet there is an escalator in his deal for 2021 As for Strev having an imminent NFL deal...believe it when i read it, but good luck to him if he gets it, but I bet he's back by labour day unless he lands in an ideal spot and get to be rostered...cause if he id PR material he would make more in CFL...none the less Mcguire can serve a similar tandem to what Collaros and Strev di, with possibly better rerwards as McGuire is a much more polished passer... As well Adams and Zack have history going back to T.O and showed instant chemistry last year, so bringing him back as the #2 reciever is nothing but positive..the corp needs his leadership
January 27, 20205 yr comment_458441 Wow hefty price... I guess this does mean the end of Nichols. *If* Ottawa signs Arbuckle ..... and *if* Toronto sticks with MBT.... where does Nichols fit in across the league? Backup in Montreal/ Saskatchewan? Also.... how will Zach's wife survive being a teacher in Manitoba... who on here said that her job was a deal breaker in coming back Edited January 27, 20205 yr by Brandon
January 27, 20205 yr comment_458442 Under 500k is hardly hefty...and that prob if he makes all his incentives/Bonuses...very good deal..now dont get hurt!!
January 27, 20205 yr comment_458444 Even a week, right after the Cup, listening to Zac on the radio......got the impression, that he REALLY wanted to come back here.
January 27, 20205 yr comment_458445 Under 500 for a starter? That's not Hefty at all. That's Nichols money

January 27, 20205 yr Author comment_458449 We basically traded Nichols and a 1st for Collaros. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I liked the idea of getting a Grey Cup out of Collaros, thanking him for his contribution, and then moving on to somebody brand new. Hopefully he turns out like Sidney Crosby, who put his concussion issues behind him and resumed a great career. At his best, there's not much question he's better than Nichols. I hope we get that Collaros. I think playing behind a better OL will make him look better than he did in Regina.
January 27, 20205 yr comment_458450 but when there is literally nobody out there "brand new" with the ability to lead and win you some games..you go with the best available "proven" option...and we just did that

The trade is a 1st rounder for Collaros and a Grey Cup..... We made out like bandits with that trade! I'll trade a 1st rounder for a starting QB + Grey Cup any day.
