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.

A bi election. Meaning only that area would vote. I’m sure this is where Leila dance will end up after narrowly losing to the conservative in the federal election

Cole Perfetti, Names, Nino. Your time to shine tonight? Please. p.s., all is good Helle, just do your thing.

Jeffcoat and Hansen.

Yep. And we’ve seen guys who mad a million plus come up north from the nfl. Manziel to bishop.

I think this is a distortion of reality, the vast majority of US College players are receiving very little NIL money, the ones making big money from the program would likely be early draft picks that would never come to the CFL anyway.

The D-line worked pretty well up until Jeffcoat left.

Just for the record, the post was stolen from the broadcast last night where the TSN panel spent about 15 minutes talking about this. There are guys making more money in college than NFL because of NIL, and it's tough to convince them to come north for under 100k, but Barker made the good point about "what happens when you graduate and that money is done?"

I believe that once a canadian player has dressed for an NFL game they are free to sign in the CFL for whatever they can negotiate. The value being brought by Rourke is just in perhaps the increased likelihood that he will be successful versus other US college players. It kind of sucks because if he does wash out of the NFL he's going to expect the Riders to pay him a lot of money. I think they'll have to pay him like a starter and hope he can instantly have success.

Well when the money runs out because you’re not in college anymore and you want to make it to the pros that’s a decision they’re going to have to make if they want to continue playing football. Most Americans don’t come up here to make a living at first, it’s because they want to get back to the NFL.

The comment somebody here made about QBs and NIL $ was interesting. If you've made a million a year (which is low in many cases), do you come up here to play for 75k?

Thy enemy becomes thy ally…. He is going to be nauseating to listen too.

Johnny Augustine also went undrafted in 2017.

Pro coaching will fix footwork issue and technical stuff...interesting pick that could actually land on roster if we go 7 giys again....which I hope we dont as it's a waste and takes away a guy of value on teams and for sporadic reps in an area of usefulness yeah....I like the 2 LB picks...I think Jaylen is gonna project well as a multi tool guy for us....Shay definately knows his pursuit angles well and has the instictive ability to read a play quickly.... thanks god you forgetting about Kelly and the real diamond in the rough with Makonzo....crazy good add and if I was Kramdi i'd be worried....we definitely morphing what we wanna do on defence in Youngers vison of a fast athletic group who can play multiple roles Kelly's yr to take the step...ready for prime time now as opposed to a rook....and I think forward looking he is the better long term player....Kid should have been an every down starter last yr already Strev is as safe as ZC....If not safer....Banana and Paterson are what basically amounts to camp arms and if one of them rosters over Wilson or Strev...major step backwards yet....how many times did we see Thomas used as an end?/....good grief

I suspect we see 3 on D (1 DL (Lawson or Jake), 1 coverage LB (Kramdi) and one rotational canadian (Kelly/Shay/etc)
