, leading the Stampeders to a come-from-behind victory. He started the following two games against the Montreal Alouettes
and BC Lions
, leading the Stampeders to another victory in the former. He was injured in the third quarter of the latter, and spent the rest of the season on the injured reserve with a torn anterior cruciate ligament

, for a 10.3 QB rating. While his passing was quite poor he showed better than average running ability for a quarterback, finishing the 2002 season with 15 rushes for 104 yards.
The Bears assigned him to NFL Europe
's Berlin Thunder
in 2003 where he performed respectably. Unhappy with being relegated to Berlin by the Bears, he returned to the CFL and the Roughriders, his former club. He immediately became Nealon Greene
's back-up. A knee injury forced him to miss the better part of the season.
He returned to form in 2004, leading the Roughriders to the 2004 Western Final, narrowly missing advancing to the Grey Cup
. The Roughriders lost the Western Final in overtime to the favored BC Lions.
In the off-season Burris rejected the Roughriders' contract offer in order to re-join the Calgary Stampeders. In 2005 he took the Stampeders to the Western Semifinal where they lost at McMahon Stadium
to Ricky Ray
and Jason Maas
of the Edmonton Eskimos. In 2006 he once again helped the Stampeders advance to the CFL playoffs, hosting their second home playoff game in as many years, but lost in the West Semifinal to his former team, the Roughriders.
In the 2007 playoffs the Stampeders once again faced off against the Roughriders in the Western Semifinal (this time played at Mosaic Stadium
in Regina
, the Roughriders having hosted a home playoff game for the first time since 1988), and would once again ended up losing to his former team in a close 26-24 affair.
In 2008, Burris won his first championship, leading the Calgary Stampeders
to a 22-14 Grey Cup victory, over the host Montreal Alouettes
. Burris also captured the title of Grey Cup Most Valuable Player
and was a finalist for the league's most outstanding player award.
In 2009, Burris led the Calgary Stampeders to a second place finish in the Western Conference. Trying to atone for a year in which he could not beat the first place Saskatchewan Roughriders (0-3-1) the Burris led Stampeders could not defeat the Roughriders in the Western Division Final, falling 27-17. This was Burris' third straight play-off loss to the Roughriders.
Burris quarterbacked the Stampeders to a CFL best record of 13-5 in 2010, finishing first in the Western Conference. Looking for revenge against his play-off nemesis, Burris lost to the Roughriders a fourth time in post season, 20-16. He won the CFL's Most Outstanding Player award for that season.
Burris' string of professional starts ended at the end of the 2011 season, when Drew Tate replaced him as the starting quarterback for the last three scheduled regular season games. Burris performed short-yardage duties for the team as the back-up quarterback. Burris returned to quarterbacking the Calgary Stampeders
in the second half of the Western Conference Semi Finals against the Edmonton Eskimos
. Burris was unable to lead a second half comeback throwing only 7 completions in 15 attempts with 0 touchdowns, having to settle for multiple field goals.
Entering the off-season there is much speculation regarding the future of Burris with the Calgary Stampeders
. The Stampeders seem ready to move on and hand the starting job to Drew Tate
and Burris has stated that he does not want to be a backup quarterback.
