Hamilton has 4 QB's. One, Harrison Frost, is healthy and on the one game injury list. And the other that would be available is  Dolegala. I wouldn't be surprised to see him back after we play them. You can complain all you want but this is the way of MOS. Go with guys he knows. All this depends on Zach's health of course. Which at the time of this writing we don't know.

Straight up of the Bombers signed Kelly, I would burn my Bombers gear in public and buy a Riders jersey the same day.

OK, people, tell us how you REALLY feel about Kelly.

Just my opinion, but there was never a chance, ever, that we'd even consider Kelly as an option, regardless availability or price.  Just not a fit with this team.

But I'm glad to see our fans making this stand. 
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

The Elks may have a Ford problem, Fjardo just won his 4th game and came within a dropped TD pass of beating the Riders a few weeks ago for his 5th.  Cody becomes a FA at the end of this season, how likely is Hervey to let him go, and will Ford be content to remain a backup? 

Walters could swing for the fences in the off-season and bring the Ford brothers to Wpg. in a massive trade of assets, but they may not get any more out of Tre than the Elks have.  For pure entertainment value I'd go for it, even knowing it probably wouldn't work out well in the end.

Now that will be going much too far.  I have my doubts that Kelly would go any place as his home is in Buffalo NY.  He wouldn't sign in Edmonton as at that time they had his rights.  They traded him to TO.

What is Kelly's status right now? Is he #2 and ready to play if needed? Not much being said about that on the telecasts.

I expect he'll start getting a few game reps in the next few weeks, don't think they'll fully commit to him starting till late Sept.

Unless there's a drop off in Arbuckle's play (or an injury of course) I would be surprised if we see Kelly this year as a starter. The wins are starting to come as well.

I think if 100% he starts eventually but yes no need for now

I'm pretty sure he's had setbacks.  They thought he was good to go after the first 6GIR, but something has gone terribly wrong.  Doctors might have made some mistakes with the break surgery.  Who knows.

Arbuckle at best will win them .500, and that's not enough.  They won't even make the postseason with .500 down the stretch.

They simply aren't as good this year, so they NEED the difference maker.  And if it's Arbuckle in the ESF he's toast.

I'd rather roll with Elgersma than Ford.  Ford is totally the wrong fit for WFC.  Nothing here is designed to support that kind of QB.

And not only trading huge assets for The Fords(TM), but then having to shoulder their outlandish $$ is a recipe for complete disaster.  Now, if they're cut and we want to put in a lowball bid, I'd be game.
