I see QB controversy potential in several places:
BC - Pierce vs. Jackson
CGY - Burris vs. Dickenson
SSK - Crandell vs. Jyles/Durant
TOR - Joseph vs. Bishop
BC and TOR due to both teams having 2 guys as possible starters, with no real winners so far.
CGY and SSK - if the named #1 players (Burris and Crandell) struggle, there will be pressure to go with the backup in a hurry.
The Toronto scenario could get downright stinky if things go sideways.
Edmonton could be added to the list, depending on which side of the argument you want to be on.
While it will not be a problem between Ray and Maas (Maas has always been content to play behind Ray), if Ray struggles (or the team starts slow) - the fans will put the pressure on.
Maas is one of those unique individuals, to be sure.
It doesn't appear he can play pro ball unless he has the double E on his helmet.
After whiffing in Hamilton and Montreal, he has picked up right where he left off with the Eskimos, in the preseason.
The Trevor Linden syndrome, if you will.
