1. Doug Flutie


Well deserved! Doug Flutie was an awesome QB in the CFL. Interesting to see the Flutie's on the opposite ends. Doug at 1, Darren at 50! Congrats to all!

I'm surprised this hasn't got more play.

I'm most excited about Pitts being that high on the list. If I'm not mistaken he missed an entire season during his prime because he showed up with a cast on and wouldn't tell Buono how he broke his hand so Wally sent him home for the year. He came top 10 so I think a lot of people overlooked it, but his stats could have been one more wicked season better than they actually are.

Some curious selections in there, or, at least, placings.
I think Dunigan should get a bit more credit.

Given the ranking, although, I find it a bit odd *ahem*homerish*ahem* to have Khari Jones to Milt Stegal as the CFL's best receiver/qb in history. I know it was a fan vote...but they hooked up for what? 0 Grey Cups?

Jones' career was nothing without Stegal, Stegal's continued on.

Pitts and Flutie both were great players after Flutie left the Stamps and their 1 Grey Cup, thus the top 10 ratings...both getting Grey Cups afterwards.
Even McManus to Flutie had a Grey Cup.

In the CFL, with 8 or 9 teams, its all about winning the Grey Cup.

Yeah the Jones/Stegall selection is quite frankly horrible. If that's the best duo in CFL history that is a sad commentary indeed.

it was determined by an online poll, so it's not surprising that something stupid happened as a result. Kind of like Rory Fitzpatrick being selected to the All-Star Team...

I though Daman Allen would have made the top 10. The guy has had an amazing CFL career.

I though Daman Allen would have made the top 10. The guy has had an amazing CFL career.

I've never been impressed with Allen and have never wanted him as QB of my team. Really, besides 2004, he was always an average to good QB - what's amazing is his longevity. Both in that he could keep it up and that teams have picked him up as their starter when others got rid of him. I probably would've ranked him lower as talent goes...
