Re: West Final: Lions at Bombers

Congrats to the Bombers. I'm a lions fan, but I'll admit a Bombers vs Argos game would be a more interesting and competitive game. There was talk about the CFL's simulator being disrepectful with it stating the Bombers had a 90% chance of winning against the Lions. I wonder if it was wrong and the n...

Re: Ottawa @ BC Sept 16, 2023

Lions barely beat the worst team in the league at home. Bit envious of the Riders and Esks new found QB prodigies.

Re: Ottawa @ BC Sept 16, 2023

Lions seem to be regressing while the Esks and Riders are improving. Does Campbell still call themselves the donut boys?

Re: Rourke NFL workouts: chooses Jacksonville

Rourke did a great job in todays preseason game. Looks like Jacksonville fans are also impressed - https://www.duvalpride.com/showthread.php?tid=38587 This play was amazing. https://twitter.com/SharpFootball/status/1690516332293312512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E169051633229...

Re: Who will be moving on?

“We have a list of guys we’re obviously going to connect with. I don’t know how active we’re going to be in the free agent market just because our football team is pretty set with guys that we already have.” This past season when Rourke was healthy and the Lions offense was rolling, I remember read...

Re: Rourke NFL workouts: chooses Jacksonville

I think most football players given a chance prefer playing in the NFL over the CFL. Pay is higher and if you stick you get a lifetime NFL pension. Even in the CFL draft, top players who might try for and succeed in the NFL fall in the draft. Has there been an exceptional/outstanding canadian player...

Re: Rourke NFL workouts: chooses Jacksonville

Great move by Rourke. Jacksonville is an up and coming team and if (when) he makes backup, he's only 1 injury away from starting some games. One he starts and impresses, he can look at NFL free agency and get a pay bump on other teams.

Re: Rourke begins NFL workouts next week

With it being reported Rourke having multiple NFL offers, it seems unlikely the Lions would be able to make an offer attractive enough package to bring him back. I just hope the Lions are looking at bringing in some quality free agents to challenge Vernon Adams.

Speaking of CFL Qb's in the NFL, congrats to Chris Streveler on a pretty good performance today for the Jets.

Re: Rourke begins NFL workouts next week

I was wondering who the last CFL QB that got on an NFL roster and was able to stay up there. Looks like it was Chris Streveler but after getting some playing time his first season he's been on practice squads since. I wonder whether Streveler originally had the same idea of not leaving the CFL for N...

Re: Rourke begins NFL workouts next week

Looks like the next stops after that are Indianapolis, Tampa Bay and Minnesota. Indy and Tampa Bay could be good spots for him to make the roster as a backup or 3rd stringer. https://twitter.com/The_Real_Moj/status/1598716322741096448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E159871632274...

Re: 109th Grey Cup Bombers vs Argos Game Day Thread

I'm surprised the Argos won. Although in my mind, the true Grey Cup was the Lions vs Bombers game. The Argos vs Bombers feels like an old school Eastern Finals matchup.

Vernon Adams as starter for 2023?

If Nathan Rourke isn't available for 2023, should Vernon Adams be the starter or should outside help like Bo Levi Mitchell be brought in? Bo's probably a better choice but more expensive and the Lions need the money to resign key free agents. Adams might perform better with a full training camp unde...

Re: Rourke begins NFL workouts next week

If Rourke is invited to a training camp, which I think is very likely, and is then cut , it's hard to believe he won't be added to some other team's practice roster.
