Pretty much... odds are pretty good to win the Grey Cup in any given year, seeing as 75% of the 8 teams make the playoffs, unlike in the NHL where 53% of 30 teams do, or in NFL or MLB where the odds are less than 50% out of 30+ teams. All a team really has to do in order to win the Grey Cup is go on a 2-3 game win streak depending on whether they are first or not. Therefore, like you said, a team should reasonably expect one Grey Cup every 8 years or better. Burris is the highest paid player on the team and one of the highest paid QBs in the league. If he can't handle that pressure, then he shouldn't be here, period. A quality starting QB demanding the cash Burris doesn't show up sometimes and sure isn't prone to those kinds of brainfarts and meltdowns.
