I like the change of pace this gives the Stamps. Burris and DD are completely different quarterbacks. Hank relies on his athleticism, and mobility, and likes to scramble. Not a great head for the game though.

Dickinson is the opposite - good pocket QB that is very cerebral and just carves defenses up.

Going from Burris to Dickinson mid-game would be a tough adjustment for any defense.

Can we get Garcia back too?

And Flutie.

I love Dickerson BUT the amount of contract is ridiculously high for a backup QB. With the salary cap in CFL is so low, he will take up 2 players' salary. Anyways, I am happy for Dickerson and I am excited for this season though. First we got a good backup goalie for the Flames in Cujo now we have an awesome backup QB for Stampeders. Wow!

Wow, let me play for you coach! What a terrible way to motivate a player or a team. Are you ex-Stamps coach Casey Creehan?

A better way to look at it is how the Lions won teh cup two years ago. 3 Qb's played as team mates and won the game together The lions lost in the west final this year cause it was a one man show again like Wally tends to do: ride his #1 Qb even if he hasn't been stellar all season, or healthy!

If the coaches put each Qb in and play them in situations to both of their strengths it will be a pretty strong tandem that will get along this year quite fine IMO
