I always thought Cuithbert was overated. When he was younger his high pitched voice drove me nuts. As he aged, it's got deeper so it isn't quite the shriek it was in the 90's. I like him better calling the CFL.

Robert Duvall, 'The Godfather' actor, dead at 95 Lonesome Dove still a classic!

Or maybe the second year player was making too many mistakes so the coach benched him. Hope Clercius can take the next step this season. Lots of tools. Look great at times, but something happened where he felL out of favour

You’re right to pay up. There’s not enough trust in the world.

Canada doing well. Seriously for the population size and delegation size we are doing well. USA not as good as normal. Norway just winter Olympic legends tho.

Yup at this point develop Perkins Thorne Wilson or Artopoeous and trade Elgersma for a pile of picks.

If anything some of you are complaining cuz you don’t know what else to do and you gotta pretend you have all the answers when you criticize O’Shea and Walters for doing exactly what you do but so be it as the off season is long. I personally don’t think Clercius or Corcoran are good enough starting Canadians and never will be. Clercius looks slow and Corcoran looked lost. Clercius and Corcoran won’t be around 9 years. So ya terrible comparison as stoddard was better and knew his role. TBH I think we start 2 Canadian receivers and Clercius and Corcoran aren’t starting.

I like the new site. I'm not sure why I was asked for my credit card number and banking information but who am I to question?

pretty bad dynamics that a HC would succeed to another players bitching....and that sure doesnt sound FIFO 'sh to me of ZC....Maybe some players should have berated his crap play/errors and got him parked on bench...should go both ways ....no?....sad state that apparently is

yeah if he got a full 6 weeks....as his per diem and no PR after and waited around all yr...he made diddly compared to what a CFL rookie deal was And as I mentioned before...if he gets a after TC call for a workout...he will be brought in on teams dime, and hiused/fed....but if he lingers for more than 48 hours he is paying for it out of pocket...team isnt anymore I know the CFL rookie deal is bad, but if he came up last yr...he would have quadrupled his TC per diem....as he made no money chasing a PR spot, and could still have had his window again after seson to do what he did this off-season...which was basically nothing

Big Air Big Win!

Okay I really really want TCM to find a way around the CRTC during 31 days of Oscar because they are airing Tender Mercies in March and I want to see it (there's a site that shows what they're going to show next month including the schedule changes for Canada) https://deadline.com/2026/02/robert-duvall-dead-1236726076/

Nfl tc money is not the same as pr though. Last year, players with less than 1 year service got 1850 a week. this year that goes up to 2k. For a full camp, plus the pre season games, guys with less than a year service get around 11-15k. Which is in the range of 15-20k canadian, before taxes. It only takes a couple weeks on a pr to out earn a cfl deal, but elgersma isn’t in that position. He as of yet hasn’t gotten a futures contract or camp invite even. To get that, he will now have to beat out an entire new rookie crop. This based off a preseason appearance, and a cis resume. He isn’t rourke, and rourke has basically no leverage and got barely a shot. I understand chasing nfl pr money, but he isn’t making some easy, economically sound decision. He’s gambling for more money with a pretty small chance of wining. The time to get a look now is counting down his nfl widow days after a cfl deal as well. If he kicks around for another year then comes up, he puts him self in a tight spot. He turns 25 next month, it’s going to be 2 years before he would get nfl consideration if he fast tracks to success. At that point he’s 28 for the next nfl camp, right at the end of his nfl window. I get it, but it’s long term, short odds gambling. At this point, I’d be happy if we traded his rights and sold high on him.

from the 3 Down article posted on the last page. It was Collaros speaking about Clercius not the other way around. Kevens Clercius and Joey Corcoran both started games at field-side wideout in 2025, though Clercius was publicly berated by Zach Collaros for a mistake late in the regular-season and subsequently benched for the playoffs.

None because this isn’t even what was reported. It was reported that Clercius made some mistakes and was criticized by Collaros for those mistakes. No where has it been reported that Clercius criticized Collaros.

Its not about paying him because he deserves it. Its about being able to draw Canadians that are borderline guys to the CFL. Why would Elgersma sign in the CFL right now? The money just doesnt make sense. If it was double what it is now, im sure he'd have a much more difficult choice. And not just qbs either, there are more and more guys getting attention down south that will never actually play there. But $$ speaks, and right now the CFL rookie contracts are barely whispering.

I think the 'show me the money' quip should be laid at the feet of Elgersma's agent also...Sometimes I wonder if any of these guys have the true interest of their client at heart....money being the 'only' motivating factor for some of them....Obviously it looks like at the moment, things for the kid are drying up, and he should be casting his eye northward in earnest...IF his representative is just blowing smoke up his arse, I think Elgersma would be wise to seek out another agent...If our draft pic shows little or no interest in attending tc....looks like a bust ,and his football career will have come to an abrupt halt...Somehow I think he'll show up here when saner heads prevail

There isn't any explanation, other than failure to recognize the player(s) is incompetent....What measurables used by Osh to make his decisions are tough to pin point....The 2 players you mention were obviously not good enough ....one due to 'best before date' long expired, and the other was out of his depth at the position or as some have put it 'just plain crap' ...I don't know why they were not treated the same as Clercius and benched....only Osh can answer that...It certainly smacks of favoritism and if you allow that to permeate your club ....one day it will all catch up....Seeing as both players are no longer on our roster maybe the coach has had a revelation...One can only hope ....I won't hold my breath

Yeah clercius basically makes a play with his targets...and is a guy teams need to pay attention to, as has been seen in his very short time starting with several big plays And hes just basically in early stages if his career and with more use..will put up more numbers Not his fault hes never the primary guy...has a qb who tends to zero in and force most balls to his one or two favorites as other guys are running free...proper use and actual focused plays and he would get it done...dude has best hands on the team after Lawler left Corcoran should be injury depth at most...has shown nothing really and if his game isnt elevated this camp he should be gone or on the PR..he can't up his metrics..is what he is and will basically just be a place holder in a group of 5..and be a 1 or 2 catch guy a game for 18 yards and really be no threat...Clercius can and has gotten yac..can run away from and run over guys as we have seen..feed him some balls...see the results Yeah...id like to see this as was first i heard of it...and in all honesty...ZC deserved a ton of criticism for a whack of throws....and the inability at times to even get a throw off due to his tunnel vision of his fav target and not seeing the other open guys

Any actual proof?

clercius is 26, and started for a bit over a year and a half. Stoddard was in the league 9 years and broke 500 yards twice. Clercius last year was better than 5 of stoddards 9 years in the league and on the heels of his 6th best year. its a terrible comparison, if any thing corcoran is a poor man’s stoddard in a far better era for ni wrs.

Clercius best season is still not as good as Jamie stoddards best season. I think really what it comes down 2 is both aren’t really good enough. 57 targets. 40 catches. That’s not great.

Sounds like Josh may be back soon.

12 targets in 18 games or less than 1 a game shows that a) You can't get open and b) Teams don't view you as a threat. Clercius had 57 in 18 games or over 3 a game. Cobb had 8 in 4 games or 2 per game.

Really? I don't care if you're the 5th option, 12 targets still suck. And they tried to bring Corcoran in to help block on end arounds etc. and he wasn't good there either. If he had shown anything in terms of making a catch in traffic areas maybe he'd have shown more potential. But you are right in that really the 5th receiver behind Wilson, White Demski,and Nield doesn't need to show much, but the issue becomes when a Nield or Demski goes down and Corcoran has to elevate his game, nothing I've seen says he can do that .
