I would not be so quick to write Zack off -- win or lose -- the Bombers may try to sign him for a 1 year deal, and a great price to start as a backup to Nichols -- which he'd likely take.
With that being said -- I think they should take a serious run at Arbuckle -- he looks like he's got the whole package to me -- great touch.
Well the thing is that you can only have 2 QB's on the roster starting next season and McGuire is already signed for next year. Lets hope he would be willing to take a PR spot leaving us realistically with these options for 2 active roster QB's:
Streveler
Nichols
Arbuckle
Masoli
Collaros
I think we should absolutely try to bring back Streveler and keep working on him as a passer but I would say Arbuckle is my #1 guy and then Masoli.
So, is the Blue Bomber forum just no longer a thing? Down for the second straight week of playoffs. Not sure it’s ever gonna come back now.
Who is Ted?Uh, Ted? I'm sure that would be a beautiful winter day but it's still autumn. Will be up until December 21st.
Who is Ted?
Why? How many first rounders even end up making the team. Streveler brings a proven skill set so why gamble?If you sign Collaros you give up a first rounder, so you would need to have him as your starter.
I like Masoli over Arbuckle, but both of those guys are heads and tails above everyone else on the potential starters list.

Just curious, how much do individual players receive for winning the Grey Cup?
I feel like every time we go to the Grey Cup post-Khari, we have a bizarre QB story. Ol' blue eyes in his 1st start, Buck being duck taped together and now the gentleman with impeccable teeth who will be a Bomber for an ephemeral moment in time.
The ghosts of 2001 still haunt me. Marc Boerigter is the name I have given to the monster under my bed.
________________________________________________Walter's is 7/8 or so on 1st rounders, including several starters, a couple young guys who are already key contributors pushing for starting roles as rookies/2nd year players. 1st round picks are how Bombers have rebuilt this roster.
Collaros nor Winnipeg are interested in Collaros next year Grey cup or not. Masoli and Arbuckle are both much better than even rejuvenated Collaros and both are available. Only OTT and WPG need starters next year. Collaros will be going back to TOR.

I hope the Bombers sign Arbuckle -- I like his style. From what I've seen, he's everything you want in a quarterback. Not so sure on Masoli tho ? and he's also coming off off injury.
Arbuckle is under contract. Going to cost a pretty penny in assets from a trade. Calgary going to sit back and see who loses out between Ottawa and Winnipeg in the Masoli sweepstakes and hold the other team up for ransom.
Masoli was a consensus top 3 QB in CFL pre injury. Hes not old, hell be back to 100% next year. His strong arm mobile QB style will complement Streveler better than Arbuckle quick strike immobile version. Style wise Masoli is more Collaros (but better) and Arbuckle is more Nichols (but better). I like the Masoli style better as a complement to the run game and Streveler.
Either way I dont care at all about this right now. We have more important things to think about for this weekend.
