Quote from: Tecno on Today at 09:45:05 AMI said that possibility like 6 OTT losses ago, and the fact Kelly wasn't lighting things up.  Kelly could be throwing the season to get out of his TOR contract -- TOR will blame him and trade him or cut him.  The could be why Dinwiddie was so very keen on our 1RDPs... he'll need lots of ammo to trade for Kelly.

Now normally a QB won't throw a season because then his stock goes down and he'll have a hard time getting a new big payday.  But if Dinwiddie had "off the record" talks with Kelly either before leaving (or more recently...) and already agreed (verbally) to take Kelly for $X, then it wouldn't matter at all if Kelly throws every TOR game.

Clearly Kelly & Dinwiddie have a bromance and are totally made for each other.  I don't think either will do well alone -- they NEED each other.  If TOR was smart, they won't fall for it, or they'll extract a super high price from Dinwiddie -- maybe the most expensive CFL trade ever.

Firstly, for all his other warts, Kelly is intensely competitive and its highly unlikley he would throw a game, never mind a season.
Secondly, his contract with TO ends at the end of this year, so there is no necessity to do so.

I disagree that Kelly is trying to get sent to Ottawa. Guy is just super competitive, in love with his abilities and a gunslinger. Perfect recipe for his type of season aka 5000+ passing yards, 30+td passes, 20+ ints.

The whole idea of Kelly throwing the season is nuts, seriously folks....I can see him going there next season as a FA, but to purposely throw a season, no way.
