The Argos are all in when it comes to their stable of quarterbacks and the team’s stated plan to spread the reps in the season’s final three games.

They’ve seen enough of James Franklin, but not enough exposure has been given the likes of Dakota Prukop and Canadian rookie Michael O’Connor, the two primary beneficiaries of this late-season audition process as the franchise looks forward to next season.

It’s expected McLeod Bethel-Thompson will start this Friday night in Montreal, but he’s not expected to finish, paving the way for Prukop and O’Connor to see playing time.

Prukop joined the Argos in 2017, but it wasn’t until the team’s visit to Edmonton this past July when he finally got meaningful reps under centre.

It arrived when Bethel-Thompson was pulled at halftime as the Argos suffered the team’s first shutout loss in 10 years.

After throwing two interceptions in the second half against the Esks, Prukop was pulled for Bethel-Thompson.
