If the league doesn't fold mid year, or cheques start bouncing and you can motivate yourself to play well in a big stadium with 140 fans playing in a league that literally no one cares about.

He's been drafted by a league that will pay him more than the CFL for a bit anyway.

A lot of people do not realize that NFL rosters are as much political as they are skill based. There is a massive bias against skill players coming out of the CIS. Trenches are trenches, the big men are big men in any league but receivers/QB/RBs coming out of the CIS are rarely anything more than TCF.

based on his pedigree....where and what he came from...his BC as QB....His options were exhausted when Green Bay let him go and nobody picked him up by mid point of the season when all teams had a good grasp on their QB situ's and who what was available that was better Reality is a bitter pill sometimes...But he has the trifecta of "no legit chance in hell" attached to him...Canadian....Canadian trained...Undrafted.....no chance in hell...Plus he has an additional one...he's a QB who plyed his trade in the CIS.....Never...ever gonna happen for him...ever

Yup that’s what I meant.

He will understand the CFL game more than almost all the Amerk QBs. The timing and speed of the game will be the issue.

Listen I have that title, it's what I contribute around here while the grown ups talk football.

Elgersma, and probably other NATs as well, would already be here if the CFL didn't have the ridiculous 3 year contract for crap money on NATs. UFL pays QBs up to 100k USD iirc. EDIT: 64k minimum contract with some making 200-400k. I would think Elgersma would be on the lower end. However, we just saw the UFL MVP sign with us to be at best 2nd string. I can't imagine that Elgersma has more earning potential that he does in that league.

No kidding. The guy is 23 years old. One opportunity down south could be life changing money. He hasn't said a negative word about the CFL or the Bombers and he's just exhausting his options.

I'm not against moving on either. Like I said depends on contract. IF Schoen gets clearance, wants no upfront money, and is willing to play on a prove it contract with a low base salary the risk/reward is in our favor. That being said it is highly improbable he is ready to go anyway so the whole premise is really moot.

This is so childish. You’re talking about his career like your feelings on the topic have any relevance.

No guarantee. He has to get here first. If Elgersma keeps dicking around then **** him. He's like Rourke was with the NFL. Work out for so many teams, make no money & get no offers that after awhile it's embarrassing.

Yea I was thinking more understanding the game better at the CFL level. And while I'm at it I really hope we utilize our 2nd string QB this coming season more than short yardage snaps. I just can't get over the absolute relunctance in doing so. I'm not suggesting pulling the trigger everytime ZC struggles, I'm suggesting being way more strategic with the back up QB other than hat on backwards signaling in plays trotting out onto the field for 3 and inches fall forward and being ready to go if ZC gets blown up.

I turned the President's Trophy banner into a Snuggie to keep warm.

Definitely.....make the smart move cash wise and pick up pointers from a winning qb....Someone should refer Elgersma to Vavals agent

which is the smart move...the game he should know inside and out already

Or spend a season backing him up learning the game then take the reins?

I just googled UFL salaries & qbs & they'll make $64000 US this season. Comparable to $85000 Canadian in the CFL for rookies. So, Elgersma will probably have to make a choice. Stay there & play in the UFL while probably never see the field behind NFL & 3 year UFL veteran Matt Corrall in Birmingham. Or come up here & never see the field behind Zach.

Yeah, next one here is 65" QM7K w Google TV but darn it missed the $1k special from Costco 🤬

My cousin was in the market for a new TV about 5 years ago and did a bunch of research and found a pile of good reviews on TCL Roku so we each got a 65" for (I think) $549 or something... And have absolutely no complaints. Next house I think I'll upgrade to the 75, but otherwise I'm a fan of the TCL Roku TVs, in general...

yeah UFL doesnt pay much, and that rookie deal here needs to be tweaked....should be a range with max of whatever they deam practical, could also have a caveat that QB's are also on their own scale, so you could actually get a fringe guy from the NFL to come up here if they could get 150k a yr....would make a big difference as to who would come

What does the UFL pay qbs? I think it's less than the CFL. probably does. Problem is, Elgersma's a rookie so he'll get $85000 Canadian to play up here which is much, much too low to get quality rookies to even consider coming to the CFL.
