It's not terribly hard to see why either guy left from a football stand point. As a P4 QB, it's possible that Thorne made more money than Collaros last year and he was likely going to be on the PR. It's possible that Elgersma is going to be QB2, and Wilson would be going on his 3rd straight year of QB3 if he were to beat out Perkins. Yeah you are playing professional football, but at what point do you pull the plug? He wouldn't be the first person to quit after a few years of not getting Second-team reps, and he won't be the last I'm sure.

It’s possible there’s some family/personal issue that will make us look like jerks for calling him a quitter, but you have to think the team would have stated that in the press release if that’s the case.a few days ago, but just noticing now... https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/article/mark-fuhrman-former-la-police-detective-convicted-of-lying-during-oj-simpson-murder-trial-has-died/?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-caI find it extremely strange that two QBs are walking away. Extremely unusual. Even if Wilson could see the writing on the wall, he should at least keep grinding in case someone gets hurt or something else happens. Don't cut yourself, make them cut you. He still could have won the #3 job and had a nice football salary for another year. Very, very weird.I think bryce and elgersma made them quit. Thorne because no chance at qb3/4 and wilson because he wasn’t going into games as qb2. yep. now maybe small chance it’s some family stuff or some thing important that took him away. but if that happened we would hear about it soon at the latest as much a vet as wilson was. All 3 are in the same tier. No real live regular season action. Dividing up cfl tc vs nfl pre season regular season ufl play offs etc is beyond splitting hairsHe’s more of a veteran in that he’s played professional football before. Wilson shouldn’t have been kept around unless he had made major progress, so no big loss. Have to imagine they will bring someone else in, need at least 1 QB on the PRPerkins is a veteran pro, just not a veteran CFL pro. Multiple years in NFL, UFL MVP, etc.😆How is Perkins a veteran back up? He's no more a veteran than Ermergerdsma. This game tomorrow will determine a lot. If the two rookies look good, they won't airlift a veteran like MBT or whatever... They'll find a neg lister to bring in. If the rookies look like ass, however, then they might panic and being in someone with CFL experience (a "veteran", if you will ..)

Elgersma has been getting second team reps the entire camp. Perkins can be the SY guy and veteran ban-aid if needed. Thorne could have been our PR guy - but I guess didn't want to. But Wilson was getting cut if he didn't force himself into the back-up role and he didn't. So he beat Walters to the punch.YeahApparently Busch was in more trouble than he thought, well you're burning up and coughing up blood it might be too late and apparently it was. There is talk he might of had a blood clot.I'm not too sad to see Wilson leave, it's clear Elgersma will be the next QB hope (whether it works is TBD). It is definitely concerning that we have no other CFL experienced QB on the roster behind Zach. Wonder if we try to change that.Winning eight in a row cruising thru two series at light speed having 7 months off ( I exaggerate) till your next game ironically can hurt you. It's like at the start of the playoffs imagine the coaching staff saying hey guys remember to win it all we we need to lose a few so we don't get rusty so plan accordingly. lolI'd say that Wilson was behind Perkins for 3rd string as wellWell the QB fight for a spot on this team ended with a thud. Wasn't really much of a fight cause two spots were already spoken for.Writing on the wall is what's happening. Thorne was very clearly likely to be cut and Wilson knew he was likely 4th string with not much chance of moving up.Good thing we have that Bison QB in camp, at least there's an arm around for throwing drills, unless Danny Mac wants to step up...Also not sad to see him leave and thought there was probably a good chance he would not be on the final roster after camp anyway.I was looking forward to watching the QB battle. Certainly has the appearance of hurt feelings...but who knows what happened.2 QB's leaving the team... is something going on behind the scenes?Decent arm. Decent wheels. 10 cent brain. Way too many bone head throws when he got his occasional playing time. See ya.
