I personally am sad to see Marcus go. He was the whipping boy of the fans & some of the media in Calgary. But look what he was up against, three head coaches in 3 years, 4 different OC's in 3 years (& a particularily insane OC who hated the run) & 4 different offensive systems. This past year with Matt Dunigan unfortunately has been a career killer for Marcus.
When he was being coached by George Cortez in 2001, he was Grey Cup MVP. I would've liked to see what he could've done under Steve Buratto & Bill Diedrich this year. I think he would've made a dynamite backup qb.

I'm going to miss him too. I went to Edmonton in '01 for the Western Final, and he was awesome. I taped the game, too, and recently watched it....................he was deadly. I posted this thought here during the past regular season and was flamed badly.
"It wasn't Crandell, it was Wally, Cortez, the receivers etc." All I can say is, watch the tape of the '01 Western Final. When Wally was interviewed at the half, with the Stamps up something like 28-7, he gushed about Marcus.
I think, like Barker in '03 and Dunigan last year, he was the victim of a very bad situation.
I hope this doesn't come back and bite the Stamps in the ass.
