One thing that doesn't seem to get mentioned is that while Masoli had a decent half? year last year and has been around for a few years it's not exactly like Johnny TiCat is up against a proven guy like BLM or Mike Riley.

Should Masoli falter a bit, there isn't really any reason why Johnny Hammer might not be starting halfway through the season like Flutie did when he first came to the league. He really does follow the Flutie model.
There is going to be a bit of pressure from ESPN and maybe TSN to get him into games. Unspoken pressure, I’m sure, but everyone knows what their ideal scenario would look like. I appreciate Masoli sticking it out in the CFL for so long and finally getting a well deserved crack at number one status, but as you say he’s not Mike Reilly.
