dont think Wilson tho really been giving a chance....he showe something in yr one...has poise and presence...best arm....but last yr with Dinglenuts as OC was a waste and everyone actually regressed...Make or break for Wilson tho this yr...and I actually think Perkins is gonna look impressive....so if Wilson doesnt shoot the lights out and look legit, he likely gone Elgersma is a project and really shouldn't be counted on anything but that this yr...or even next if he signs....He is a CIS trained QB who had some success in college against 85 percent of players who were glorified high school stars finishing off their football lives, and a big part of his success.....and hasnt played meaningful football going on 2 yrs now....No CIS QB is gonna be a factor early on in career...if ever. People like to push it...TSN especially and when has it happened....Just look to recent with FORD....Uber athletic, all the things you want in a pro.....Except abilty to make it work in the pros...looked good against Canadian College kids.....but in pro's a different ball game Elgersma sure has a better arm....even still tho....doesnt compute to immediate success and to expect it right outta the gate....is just asking to flop

Pointless picking any of the remaining scraps up...serves zero purpose really and we need to just go with our guys and like mentioned by other's...give whoever comes out as number 2 actual playtime during the yr when we can....and just doesnt have to be in a blow out, or an end of game pointless reps Be it Wilson...(does he step up) as he has the best arm in camp, though have yet to see Perkins up close...Or Perkins who I may think actually impresses and isnt the typical kinda first yr i the pro's guy we usually bring in....Looking forward to the battle with him and Wilson...The greek kid gives me no sense of him being anything, and likley cut, and the other nice intriguing rookies we signed are just that....future prospects and a big nothing burger for this yr Where we failed in past...and not just at QB is giving backups and guys with potential no meaningful reps ...ever....that has to change

It wasn’t that long ago that he was iffy about even playing, due to his wife’s lucrative job. Surprised he hasn’t hung it up.

Terry Wilson, at this point, is no further along than any rando 1 year guy, or most rookies out of camp imo. 2 TCs and he hasn't shown progress after just having turned 28. I think if you bring Wilson into camp, he has to have a short leash. He'd really need to win reps in the first preseason game. QB is the one position we will go into camp worse off at. Zach is a year older, Strev is toast, no one else has progressed behind him, as we never successfully replaced Brown as a back up qb. Even if Elgersma signs, I think he's a year away from being more than a qb3 at least. Perkins has a mountain of work to do adjusting to the CFL game. Maybe Perkins catches on fast, or Elgersma catches lightning in a bottle, or some other miracle befalls one of the other QBs, but that would be in camp. Till then, we have a huge ? mark. I think our backup plan is going to be Montreal. Davis is their guy, and I think they like Morgan a lot. Which leaves one of Evans and Patterson on the outside looking in. One of them gets cut, or maybe we work a trade if camp goes poorly. After that, it's the likes of what remains of MBT/Masoli, or even worse, the pest. If Zach gets hurt in camp/pre-season, we are beyond screwed. More than 2 and out check downs too.

Most of these guys will be available just before TC in reality. We can spend the next couple months seeing if Elgersma shakes loose and if so evlauating him and the other rookies/backups out in our rookie camps etc, if we decide that we need an experienced back up at that point sign one of the experienced guys. Really no need to do so right now. If there was one, for instance, like Powell who jumps off the page compared to the others then I would think differently. However, at this point the top 3-4 of what`s left are both unlikely to catch on somewhere and are all of similar ability.

That's what I mean though. Bringing him in now will further hurt our young guys. If Collaros goes down for an extended time and Wilson + whoever else they keep look incompetent, then sure go get MBT. I just don't see how it benefits the team to bring him in now

Ah thanks. Yeah it's a pita to keep track of availability from the tampering window on for a bit. Good pick up for them. I do agree, we won't be doing much for a while. I think we might dive back into the frey if things stretch out with the guys who are left. The only real advantage to publically saying we are out of FA, like walters basically did, is pushing a final deal or two imo. Really dont want him at this point. The QB class is extremely bad for experienced guys, but he's low on the short list of bad options. I don't expect us to make a satisfactory move at qb tbh.

Veteran insurance. It would be nice if for this season they can give our back ups some real reps throughout the season. Many times over the last several seasons we could have given Wilson or McGuire before him some real reps.

Game felt a lot like our 2019 GC win. Darnold scrambling like a young Zach. Defense was huge. Offense did just enough and the kicker made a ton of FGs. Half Time show was spectacular. It was like a mini musical or an opera. BBs music is not for me, but I really appreciated what they were going for... And Gaga and Ricky Martin were fab as always.

Seahawks D clamped down hard. Was fun to watch being the nerdy D fan that I am. Was hoping for a shutout to make history. Seahawks feel like a great team us CFL fans could adopt as our own. Love their shout out to our 12 approach with their fans.

I don't really see the purpose of bringing MBT in right now...If Collaros goes down for a significant amount of time and the guys behind him flounder, then sure get a vet who has shown he can be competent. But right now they'd be better off giving as many reps as possible to the young guys they have.

A chance for the wealthy to come out & say "Yay sports"? It's all about the money. With one burger going for $180 USD (about $245 CAD), it's a prime example of how the game is not for the average person. The Most Expensive Item on the Super Bowl LX Menu Is an Absolute Monstrosity

He was also pretty beat up last year and was dealing with an arm issue (elbow and/or should iirc). Wasn't really given a chance to heal properly or play at 100% because Davis kept getting hurt and so did Caleb Evans.

MBT wasn't good last year

This is true. But what is a Superbowl?

MBT: Might set a historically bad precedence Throws a nice looking ball...to a linebacker. Is the only decent guy available

Defense wins championships. Offense sells tickets.

no kidding it was boring more effort was put into the Halftime show. And don't get me started on all the pro A.I. ads

Bad bunny was the most entertaining part by far. What a boring game. The Super Bowl generally is terrible tho. I just think it’s funny that with 7 minutes left in quarter 1, collingsworth is like If the patriots don’t make a first down here this could be the game. Cuz Seattle was about to make it 9 0. Imagine hearing that in the cfl lol.

I think Unless he shows he can pass the ball this camp he’s cut.

I was feeling tired. Asked my wife to wake me up when the halftime show was over. That was quite a defensive display by the Seahawks last night. If you like defensive football, then this was the game for you. Denver would have been a better matchup for the Seahawks. Love seeing the Patriots lose. I hate that team.

Super Bowl was a bit of a snoozer for me. The first half was boring as could be. 2nd half was better. I'm glad Seattle won, the Pats were gifted an easy schedule this season and had an easy play off run barely squeaking by a QB who had thrown zero passes this season. The half time show looked so cheap this year? Usually they have eloborate sets and big dance numbers and this felt very very cheap. Also a tonne of lip synching and the music itself was a big meh. It felt like I was listening to a DJ at the pool bar when I'm in Mexico lol. It didn't feel like a big show to me.

He'd only be here for a year so no harm.

So we’ve given up on Terry Wilson being able to do things other than plunge forward for one yard?
