The reality is that we have had multiple can't-miss quarterbacks come into camp and flame out, so the odds are against Elgersma. That several NFL teams thought highly enough of him to bring him in is reason for optimism but certainly no guarantee, but if you are a Bomber fan, you live on hope.

oh look Koepke is staying

Nailed it. When Ajous suspension is up, how long before the als sign him? I Bet they already made the call lol

I think this is a great point if TE sticks around and maybe that is how ZC progresses into coaching.

When a professional athlete like CH signs a long term contract I’m assuming before he signs he gets some assurances from management and ownership that they are fully committed to winning. Fair. And if they show they aren’t as time progresses then a discussion is needed. However time it has been only one season that has passed since winning the Presidents trophy and there are no guarantees in winning so needed patience, persistence, individual/team accountability and commitment to the ultimate goal is mandatory. So being the highly skilled conceited questionable self aware prick that he is, I’m thinking he is less focussed on this and more of the it’s everything and everyone else are the problems so when winning doesn’t happen predictably the real CH shows up thru exit interviews and such. Being probably the overall best player on the Jets do we want him highly influencing the culture of this team. True leadership comes out when the seas are angry not calm. CH is a great example that simply being a highly skilled athlete in a specific skill, in this case goaltending, does not make you competent in other areas that doesn’t involve goaltending. I’ll step down from my soap box now.

No don't trade him for a bag of pucks. Good grief, this is why we can't have nice things. I am for trading him if we can get some big value back, AND we have someone coming up behind him. Now would be a good time to maximize value for him for sure.

he wasnt really made to kick anything over 40 yards...thats what...his consecutive streak record the league blkathered on about was a load of horsepiss as he kicked what...5 maybe over 40+ yards? confidence dropped when made to kick real FG's....basically

agreed...should b....better be....and if it's not based on Walter's work....then cutting the head off the coaching aspect who is the one in charge of roster...player retention and deletions....game day preparedness and adjusting has to be done...and basically confirms where the main issues lie....and I'd do it in the last 3rd of the season if we on outside looking up....and get the head start going into Grey Cup week to let any interested parties know we in the market....or do our own back channel tampering...as it's a common thing anyway so for us not o do it is just dumb For now will give the benefit of the doubt based on moves and guys we moved on from...coaches we didnt retain (tho one is still lingering around...and god knows why) Now was that all Walter's doing and removing temptations?...guess we shall see when final roster is posted after TC and how the first 3 or so games go and if it's just becoe the same ol same ol...just with a new cast of characters I am skeptically optimistically at current, and think maybe some have learned finally and its adapt/evolve...or die...we shall see....but looking forward to camp and intend to try and get there several times to see first hand...I have no faith and trust in the media based on what I see from them when there...and what I read after the fact...and Tait's articles albeit a good read and well done, and enjoyable...are a lot of fluff pieces based on his marching orders

That's a low bar.

Seems his confidence level dropped and a few shanks will do that....I think he's still a competent kicker but with all of this global kicking talent spilling into the market, you better be on your game ...plus

Trade him for a bag of hockey pucks. No place for egomaniacs on this team. And ,what has he proved beyond the regular season?

I'm fine with him saying the team was ****... I'm fine if he wants to call people out behind closed doors.... I'm not good with blaming everyone else publicly and saying it was in no way your own fault. Oi.

Works very well for Tommy Stevens

It's revenue, not profit. Their TV deal alone is reportedly worth around 20 million so they do seem to meet that criteria.

Saw some of the exit interview with him, he’s a conceited prick, great professional goaltender but still a conceited prick. This is why some professional athletes should not be idolized, they provide great entertainment but that’s where the appreciation should end for athletes like him.

How we feeling about #1 goalie PUBLICLY throwing everyone else under the bus and saying "not my fault..." ??

Its been a long off season but there's reason to believe that maybe this season will be better than the last.

Got any cheeeeeeessse?

got the yips

The TC battle for QB 2 and 3 tho just got more interesting no doubt. But appears to be one of perhaps 3 or 4 interesting TC battles at spots, DL, DB and Receiver being the other. Perhaps center OL depending on draft.

Top 3 would be really sick right now. 1st overall could change the franchise but McKenna is a winger so I’m ok at 2 or 3 and get either Verehoff the big D out of North Dakota or even the Swede winger/potential center Stennberg, we like our Swedes recently. Salo. Freij. Sascha all Swedes but also all D men. Jets like their risers tho and they tend to work out. Haven’t been this high of a draft pick since Laine 2nd overall which we won from the 7th position i believe. Last real top 10 pick was Scheifele actually. There are a few interesting names on the top 10 15 list who the jets could potentially take at 2 3 or 7. It’s McKenna then anyone’s guess. Maybe once the lotto is done I’ll post some names I think would be interesting for the Jets cuz like I said picking at 2 or 3, you almost get your choice of who you want. Organizationally a top 3 pick, I’d be leaning heavy to the center prospects. Give me a riser like Scheifele was. There also appears to be 2 riser brothers or cousins on the top 15 list who appear to play together so there’s potential for a Brian Burke Sedin twins type of move also.

Finally he made the right decision..he should have known and sucked it up after his 6 workouts after the Packers it wasn't in cards right now. History of players of his football pedigree never will succeed at qb down there...its a fact He has a lot to prove and learn and he finally will have the environment now to do it...now let's see what he does with it. Sure he looks the part...but so do a lot of players but they just can't make the jump. Lighting up Canadian college kids is a far cry from transferring it in pros..so the sooner he got here to try..the better his longterm football life will be Also I couldn't care less about people's boner about a Canadian qb..its irrelevant as the qb is just 1 of 24 starters...as a coach I want the 22...or 24 best available to me regardless of where they came from. To force a Canadian one...and 99 percent of time a lesser talent into one the more important spots to satisfy some stupid narrative...is well stupid...I could care less if he was a shot on a rock hatched by the sun...if hes the best then he plays

I’ll just say this. I was surprised when we drafted a Canadian QB. I liked it after researching him a bit. I actually liked it more when Green Bay gave him a shot and honestly thought he maybe was screwed a bit as on the highlights and stats he looked calm and composed. After his release I hope he’d have seen the bs that goes on down there and realized his best way to the nfl is to come here especially after a few months of doing very little to nothing. I’m happy he signed with us. I think he’s got potential to be a future QB for us, I hope for our sake this kid takes the reins next season or when given a chance and runs with it. I’m a bombers fan and Elgersma is a bomber now. I’m not sure why I originally thought he wasn’t drafted last year. But he was wasn’t he. It wasn’t 2 years ago at all. Last year so honestly waiting a year for a draft pick ain’t so bad. Not sure where the didn’t want to play for Winnipeg stuff came from, ya why would pro players want to play in front of guaranteed sellouts every night but basically it’s Zach for sure then 2 others plus prob keep a 4th if 3 others show they are capable. Looking at it in realistic terms, I’d assume based on just logic that Elgersma is one of those 3. The other 2 , 2 of thorn UFL and terry. Logically terry or UFL boy likely getting cut just based on thorn and Elgersma being younger. Kinda wild, Zach has all the experience Terry? Very little then the other 3? Zero cfl experience. The backup and 3 QB spot is gonna be probably the most interesting training camp battle hopefully they all get enough reps, Terry needs to step up tho as he’s competing with 3 guys with zero cfl experience Any QB can run short yardage cuz if Terry can’t complete a pass after 2 3 years, CUT.

I challenge anyone not to read that in the voice.

Seriously, what happened to Ward? He was that good few years ago. Did he got injured and never fully recovered from it?
