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.

Yeah

Apparently 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. lol

I'd say that Wilson was behind Perkins for 3rd string as well

Well 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.

Gonna need at least one more arm now... But ya I'm not super sad about this development.

Honestly that is fantastic news. If he has that kind of mentality then buh-bye. Always thought he would never develop.

Terry Wilson dtd with hurt feelings after the depth chart was released? Hodge says he left the team.

Anyone hear why T Wilson is on the suspended list?

Might be a busy day for Elgersma and Perkins after Zach finishes his series or two. Terry Wilson was just moved to the suspended list....

I agree we've gone a little too far in using glue guy to keep some ppl. Just responding that you can't be entirely void of them either

Its also important to note that it is a world of difference between getting 650k viewers on average for a league total of 43 games (UFL,) 660 games (Wnba) and 2,688(NHL). Also, in its peak, the Arena league was drawing between 700k and 1.3m tv eyes. Its also a whole other comparison when the UFL has a very low (for football) paid attendance, owns none of its infrastructure (stadiums, cameras etc) and the merch/other revenue streams are worse than the paid attendance. The new arena league, AF1 is touting massive increases this year in its viewership as well. The UFL is only a little more secure then the AF1. The UFL only exists as long as its owners tolerance for losing money survives.

You absolutely do. But you need those glue guys to contribute, and you can't have too many guys whose contribution is unquantifiable. The rosters just don't have the flexibility for that up here. Id argue that some of our biggest glue guys in the GC wins, were guys who played at a high level as well. Kongbo, Hansen, prime Jake, biggie was a huge glue guy, etc. Idr seeing a depth chart from us in the pre season with soo few imp wrs. I think the club is extremely high on him.

Elgersma QB2 👀

I'd argue glue guys are different than the undefined intangibles guys. Hallett in his prime = glue guy. Undefined intangibles with no obvious skill or team benefit guy = Corcoran, Damian Jackson.
