He was on the list of neg list names that got revealed in December.

Another sad day in Canada.....

It's actually interesting to me he was still picked that high. Because now he's out of football for a year before he gets to come in to the CFL camp. He's not going to have any opportunity aside from training himself to develop as a football player. Have to kind of hope he keeps his head in.

Great example of what the GMs/coaches know and what we don't know.

We signed another QB Chase Artopoeus - 2024 - Football - University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Athletics

Looks like he brought a whole pharmacy with him for the tests.

Perfetti needs better linemates. Nino and Namestnikov have not been good. Hopefully they can find some mojo tonight. Iafallo might help with that….. Although Namestnikov has been the weakest link so far.

Almost every FBS/FCS football player is taking offers every time the portal opens. Every FBS QB is getting over six figures. This is a story about Mark Gronowski who is on Bombers neg list and has been South Dakota State starter for 4 years. Could have went pro this year, stayed in NCAA and went to Iowa for a "seven-figure" guarantee. This guy is not really a NFL prospect as a passer. Like maybe get drafted in 5th-6th-7th round, maybe but not likely. https://brobible.com/sports/article/mark-gronowski-iowa-nil-deal-seven-figure-college-football/

All the late drafted Qbs from big programs had multi million dollar NIL deals.

I would think Elergesma would not be in the Bombers TC early, probably at late stages if he becomes available. Streveller and Wilson will be safe. I think it would be either Dolegala and Patterson will be taking the axe, if not both.

I hope you're wrong about Streveler, but it does seem that one of the major camp battles is clearly going to be at the QB position.

I would guess it would sound like this: I win nose ah You who ban m' when?

If you can even come remotely close to a proper pronunciation of his names it's gonna be a gold star for you!

Seems to have his head screwed on properly and am looking forward to seeing him in the Bomber training camp.

Agreed, But Jake got older and even slower and then we had a rotating number of d-linemen which was never really settled.

I just can't wrap my head around a CIS QB actually becoming a good Pro QB. I still haven't bought any Nathan Rourke stock, and he's not even a CIS guy. Until I see otherwise, it really feels like a wasted pick... Or at least a wildly unnecessary reach.

Goalie....I'm in that area

Thinking a lot about the Elgersma pick....It was an extra thrown our way in any event and looking at our current qb. situation it 'could' bode very well for the future.....IF the kid signs here (it's an 'if' cuz he's getting a lot of looks down south) what better way to start off your career, that being mentored by a guy like Zack.....Once in awhile you get a player who has loads of talent and are viewed as somewhat extra special...Hard to pass on those especially when they are waved under your nose and obtainable....A quaterback by the name of Jim Van Pelt came our way back in the day....He was that kind of extra special player....a phenom that Bud Grant couldn't/wouldn't cut ...in fact he made him the starter when he first showed up, over a pretty good qb. on our roster, by the name of Kenny Ploen....It happens once in awhile...rare though, and I'm not saying Elgersma is that player.... BUT I say we give this kid every opportunity to succeed and see how this all shakes out...Here's hopin' we found something special

True. Just think it’s most likely.

Walters say anything today or is the 1 minute 43 second interview from last night all so far? Something other than NIL has changed also tho. We aren’t allowed to talk about that on here tho anymore. That might play a bigger role than people think. But all it takes really is for cfl guys to keep getting chances in the nfl and people will likely still come. It’s about playing football and outside the nfl and is it UFL? Whatever their spring league is, it’s the cfl. That’s the options really for ppl who want to continue playing.

Maybe, maybe not. Municipal politics is much different than federal politics and doesn't pay nearly as well so she may not be interested in that sort of thing.
