It would suggest the Cdn game isn't as easy to pick up or talentless as the ignorance of some folks would like the rest of us to believe.

I just don't see Smith making an impact on the Stamps. I don't think he's smart enough or good enough to play in the CFL. Although, if he does show some promise, don't be surprised to see Burris not take it so well. This is the guy who didn't re-sign in Sask because he had to compete with the mighty Nealon Greene for the starter's position. It would be like Kipper not re-signing with the Flames because he'd have to compete with Mclennan for the #1 job.
definitly forgot about archer, and yea flutie shouldve come to mind
. good point though, burris isnt quite all there mentally imo and that may be why he is criticized for his lack of playoff success. ive defended burris for a few years but he makes it harder year by year. should be interesting to see what effect this has on him if smith plays well
