Re: Who will be moving on?

I sort of hoped that BC would sign a QB who might compete for #1 rather than just give the job to Vernon Adams. I'm not sold that this offense fits Adams either. Maybe they'll luck out like other teams and find a back up who can eventually be a starter. I feel bad for Michael O' Connor if he's gone...

Re: Who will be moving on?

It has been said before that running backs a dime a dozen. And it has also been said, and worth repeating, that the good RBs that can run inside and outside, catch, and block are a lot more scarce. IMO, Butler is one of those guys and worth every dime he gets paid. I just hope it ends up that the L...

Chungh and Godber on the island today doing school presentations & pub appearances . Read into that for what it’s worth.
I know dealing with children drives me to drink, so I can empathize.

Re: Who will be moving on?

Fajardo is probably the best answer to the backup QB position and his time in Regina is up. (I also don't think he's going to get starter's money anywhere else, frankly). I'm not sure how much more tape the rest of you need to see on O'Connor but it's evident to me, at least, that the processing abi...

Re: Rourke NFL workouts: chooses Jacksonville

None of you appear to understand just what’s been lost here. There is no better ambassador for not just the CFL but Canadian football in general than a Canadian born quarterback playing the Canadian game at a successful level. None. It’s good for the game at every level, it’s good for the team, it’s...

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. Could you tell me the last time this happened in the 21st centu...

Re: Rourke NFL workouts: chooses Jacksonville

Aside from the fact Trevor Lawrence has #1 locked up this is a really good situation for Rourke and exactly what he was looking for. Jacksonville's coaching staff is loaded with the type and quality of offensive coaches that will be huge in his development; HC Doug Pederson, OC Press Taylor, Passin...

Re: Rourke NFL workouts: chooses Jacksonville

I don’t even have the energy to process a career decision this stupid today.

I look forward to losing the WDF with VA this fall.

Re: Rourke begins NFL workouts next week

There's a tweet from Moj saying the Bucs were in the lead for Rourke.

"What better person to learn under than Tom Brady."

Uh, Tom's contract is up after this season and he won't be there.

But that coaching staff will, and good luck with that.

Re: 2023 schedule

Many were hoping for a return to the pre-Covid format whereby every team would play the other 8 at least twice. That won't be happening. BC will play Montreal and Hamilton home and away while playing Ottawa and Toronto once each; Ottawa at BC Place and Toronto at BMO. What this does allow however i...

Re: Vernon Adams as starter for 2023?

I'm with you Cro. I'd take Adams' brand of inconsistency over that of Evans. One at least is entertaining. The other not so much. Regardless whoever might be called on to start in the event Rourke winds up south of the 49th will get a sense of how Danny Barrett felt when he had to fill Doug Flutie'...

Re: CFL switches to Saturday playoff games

Ambrosie is worthless. The global initative is in place to find and develop cheaper labor, first and foremost, and in that regard its working. Is it worth so much time and energy? I'd say no, but a commissoner serves at the pleasure of its owners so you tell me who's really driving that. Ownership i...

Re: Vernon Adams as starter for 2023?

BLM will start in Hamilton next season and lead that team to, at a minimum, the EDF. I nearly spit out my coffee at the suggestion we take Dane Evans over Vernon Adams. That guy is terrible. If you're going to start a guy with a noodle for an arm, at least ensure he can make the progressions across ...

Re: Rourke begins NFL workouts next week

Cameron Wake was not much in the NFL either; that's what i heard/read after his 1st season down there anyways. Can't really expect top CFL talent to compete with NFL super-heroes. LOL again. Citation Needed. Cam Wake was considered gift enough that he signed a three year deal with a $1 million sign...
