Pretty much 2 guys being used to not have legit guys get hurt throwing.....He will get some bad guidance tho and waste a good portion of his summer waiting...doing a workout here...or there...maaaaaybe a mini camp or go to an OTA...and at same time earn zero dollars....and that be that...show up in 2027 2 yrs delayed and behind in development Or he sucks up his pride and is up here post labour day...gets on the PR and starts to learn things...maybe get on roster back half of yr and then can be a legitimate participant in 2027 camp as a possible QB 2 candidate....

Elgersma is an NFL Combine arm just throwing the ball. Will he get looks? Who knows. I do know the other qb there was a 2021 draft pick. Will he get a look as well?

Let's be honest....the NFL hasn't exactly beaten down his door. A couple workouts to stay in the good graces of his agent probably. For the life of me I can't believe he can't see the forest through the trees yet. Does he seriously think he's going to be the first CIS QB to crack an NFL roster, in what...like a hundred years? someone is blowing sunshine up his arse and he is eating it with a spoon, and that is unfortunate.

The learning curve is small for the DEs and DTs, sure there are some nuances they can pick up, but if a guy can disrupt he can display that very early in his CFL career. We have not had anyone of that ilk up here in years. Will a bonafide DT/DE get better over time, for sure, but if a guy can't display the basics of the pass rush right off the bat there is no use wasting out time and we haven't and other teams have occasionally tried our guys out after we release them or don't re-sign them and have come to the exact same conclusion. Bunch of ham and eggers. Our recruitment needs to be a crap load better on the DL. That being said, the guys we brought in late last year show some actual promise. Instead of pretending that duds like Fox and Garbutt were somehow reasonable starters. Rotational AT BEST, and we need starters and not just starters IMPACT starters. Had we "developed" them properly that was the ceiling for them.

Pass rushing does require development. Especially in the CFL. You will see flashes of disruption without it, but the skill gap for most guys' pass rushing is huge. That's a big part of why DL get paid, and DBs don't. I do agree the promise is very strong with Jenkins, Jaworski and Bailey. And to an extent, DL who want to excel have to put in a lot of extra work themselves in the off-season. Coaching DL is a very highly sought-after skill set, and the NFL has been focused on cornering that market for a while. We don't get polished rushers with good size and athletic ability coming up here anymore. Mostly we get raw guys with a ton of talent/athleticism that need to be moulded into something special. And a few higher polish guys who either lack a lot of size or athleticism. In Jake We Trust

TC the media was pretty negative about how raw he was. But he did perform very well in his preseason look. If it wasn't for that pre-season game, he never would have gotten another NFL call.

We got Jake to teach them now

The Jets are given a 5.5% chance of making the playoffs by PuckPedia Let the re-tooling begin yea?

Nino and Pionk got worse :-o https://illegalcurve.com/winnipeg-jets-head-coach-scott-arniel-indicates-nino-niederreiter-and-neal-pionk-are-week-to-week

I think he showed some really good stuff in NFL TC. That being said, he is undoubtedly a project and anyone thinking he is our starter next year is really optimistic. I hope he is because that would be something, but I would be shocked if he were ready and that is presuming he comes here this year first.

At the pro level they have to perform. DE, DT shouldn't require much for development. We just had crap recruiting in these areas. In one game we saw more promise out of Jaworski and Jenkins than any of the garbage we've recruited at DE over the past several years. I don't mean to crap on the young DEs over the years, but anyone we brought in was either unable to get home, or unable to play the run. The DTs were slightly better but certainly nothing worth keeping around as starters. I just don't think our recruiting was looking for a typical DE, seems like they favored a tweener type that just wasn't working for us.

You have to tho look at the talent and competition he was competing against tho in the CIS and the speed of the flow..and how quickly he can process things...its a huge gap from there to just NCAA ball..let alone pros...hes proven nothing And in all honesty...based on his appearance and many a player..even really bad ones get looks...some several on just that alone. The fact he held down zero weeks on any PR with 32 teams in the NFL..many with utter garbage as their 3rd on depth chart...let alone PR tells you something... U ready my mind and beat me to the punch! If he was truly legit hed have played prep ball in HS down south at least his senior yr and would never been on a CIS field

My hopes for developing DL are greatly reduced by the poor job we've done developing DEs over a very large period of time.

Reading a Canadian D is a much easier transition to make than making the transition to reading a high-level D. How many D2 QBs come up here and succeed, or are blue-chip prospects even? It's very rare. The competition gap is gigantic, which is why people question his abilities. Because the talent gap from the CIS to ncaa is even more massive.

I liked Jenkins every bit as much as Jaworski in that one game. High hopes for both...

100%. I am hopeful for the young kids, but I'd like to see a really good end brought in or step up. Especially with WJ camped out on the other side. Jaworski is exactly the type of guy we need on that opposite end, if he can turn his flash last year into substance.

The big, accurate, mobile, has a strong arm and can read a 12 man defense. If he were a DIV II coming up here, fans wouldn't be questioning his abilities.

Football Gods if you’re listening please do keep him (and everyone else) healthy and motivated to ensure getting thru an 18 game schedule including 2-3 playoff games. Much appreciated.

Yeah he has an intruigin skill set and appears like he could be multi faceted..some inside stuff with 3 ends and Ceresna...I could see him also off the edge as a jack type on 3 man fronts and at times dropping into the low flats..

Having Ceresna will certainly help in the disruption department. If two of our rookie DE's can show they are ready for a starter/rotational roles that would be very helpful as well. I really like what Jaworski did in his only showing last year. He is the guy I will be very interested in watching in TC. That probably gives him the kiss of death, but so be it.

I caught a fair share of Lizzie McGuire back in the day I had no idea how big the show was until the movie came out. I wasn't a super fan as I had preferred to have watched the animated shows Disney had to offer back in the day. (I mostly watched the show on the ABC Kids block)
