I wonder about Burris. He seems to have a bit of a hero complex. Of course, the media doesn't help that. It was basically the Ottawa Henry Burrises winning the Cup.

Well statistically he is one of the best CFL Qbs of all time. He also won a Grey Cup at 41 years old. He is kind of a big deal in the CFL world. Also the media loves to blow up an older guy winning a big game.
Congrats to Jensen he seems to get along well with Burris.
I personally think he was inactive for the championship because the coaches weren't happy with how long he hung onto the ball the last game he played. It didn't help that he was playing with all backups against the best starting defense in the league.
They have the best QB depth chart right now. They basically have the Brett Favre and Aaron Rogers of the CFL on the same team. One of them has to leave and it will probably be Burris. They have put a lot of time in on Jensen so the assumption from fans is that it will be Harris # 1, Jensen # 2, and O'brien # 3. The team has put in a decent amount of time in with Jensen and have kept him around for a reason. The only things he really has to work on is getting the ball out faster and taking more risks. It's a pass heavy spread offense league, you have to take more risks. The way the league is makes it easy for EWU QBs to transition to the CFL and that's why 3 of the 9 CFL starting Qbs are from EWU.
I think Brock is up for a contract,and I was told some nfl teams want to see him healthy for a workout. Unlike the whole year of 2014. I could be totally wrong though,some people like to lie to me,LoL ;)
Online Forum had the most misleading headline ever this morning: "Former Bison QB Jensen crowned Grey Cup champion after Redblacks' shocking upset win"--and here I thought I read that he was in street clothes on the sideline during the game...
