Really really not liking that idea.  I'd even roll the dice with Wilson for 2 games (and him sucking) before settling for Dolegala.  No to any ex-Rider.  They'll ask for $70k bonus and then retire.  Riderfans already getting excited that will happen again.

So many better QBs warming benches right now.  All it will take is some creativity in a trade.

Or... we just stand pat and all pray for Zach.  This is the Mafia: there does often seem to be a lot of praying and "standing pat" going on.  We're getting all worked up, but they may be sitting there looking at the still-bare SMS cupboard.

You really weren't around for the Dinwiddie GC, were you?

As far as SMS space goes, we've had a top tier receiver on the IR for the entire season and the highest paid receiver in the league only collect 2/3 of his SMS.  There's money there for a QB.  And if not, Marketing money works for BC....

Ya, I wasn't a fan during the Dinwiddie debacle.  Had a gap there while I was establishing my "real" (non-football) life     

However, I know all the stories, and I can guess & empathize with the pain.

Well the next few days will be interesting.

Cornelius, Dolegala, Fine... bring someone in that has some experience. I'm cool with Wilson being the no.2 if the brass like him... but if anything happens to ZC we need to have an option with some experience just in case.

And I've told you guys repeatedly and will remind you all once again that this league and its officials will do NOTHING to help the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. There are no tears being shed over Chris Streveler's knee at CFL headquarters. In fact, they are probably quite happy about it as it adds to the difficulties of this team playing in a fifth straight Grey Cup. In fact, I guarantee that Brown will play with impunity and go after Collaros' head if the two teams meet in the post season.

Miles Brown is a turd.

Dave naylor says Bryan Scott and dolegala are on the way to Winnipeg

Both? 

Free Press reporting:

Options include Jake Dolegala or
Bryan Scott, both of whom were released earlier this season, from the
B.C. Lions and Toronto Argonauts, respectively.

Sources tell the _Free Press_ the club is interested in Dolegala and
talks of a potential contract have already started.

[towelie]

Yeah Naylor did tweet that both Scott and Dolegala are en route

[Pigskin]

I think it's smart to bring in a couple of QBs.

[blue_or_die]

I think Dolegala is our best option.

Wilson can handle short yardage, Scott is a better fit to compete for a starters role down the line.  I really did not like Dolegala in any of his games this year, he looked horrible.  And at 6'7, I'm not sure that alone makes him better in short yardage than Wilson.  BC let him go, keeping Brice.

I think we should go to FB for SY before bringing in a Dolegala for SY.

If they do sign him to the AR, I hope that I am proved wrong, but I think Scott is a more interesting prospect.

Someone else pointed out in another thread he's already 29. I think we're still looking or long term options. But that's next's year's problem anyway.

He can surely handle the SY duties, so I agree.
