Elgersma signs!

It’s crazy, because if anything I think he’s underhyped at this point. We all really have no idea, he’s raw and will need coaching but the NFL liked his tools and I don’t see why we wouldn’t either. But because the majority of us are butthurt, we just expect him to suck. He might but he also might be our next QB1. We’re so far removed from what he’s been working on to have any idea if he’s good or not.

One way or another - its good we signed Elgersma. We get to see him in camp - and evaluate. I'm glad they didn't sign him last year with the 'squid' of an O.C. we had (Hogan) - would have been disastrous.

Yawn.

Anyone ever heard of this Elgersma kid?

Who advised him to do this? They've been wrong the whole time and I'll bet they're wrong now!

Finally came to his senses. Excited to see how he does n TC.

As much as it pains me to defend the Riders, they were the ones who brought the issue to the league so they did the right thing. They also confirmed that he won't be resigned when his suspension is up - if they were douchebags like Montreal or Toronto, they would gladly take him back.

lol you, me and literally every other literate person here all know that’s not all you said. You’ve been shitting on this guy for months because his career goals don’t align with your fandom. I hope you can learn to cheer for him and anyone else who chooses to manage their own career

I hope they do... He'll look great in green!

Looking forward to the daily Elgersma TC report.

And promptly replace him with…Lauther

Dolegala did just fine and he's even taller than Elgersma. TBF, he also has heavy balls so maybe that's more important than height? 🤣

Super pumped about Elgersma. He's definitely not just some scrub Canadian QB fodder. He's got the size, skills, and pedigree to be the next Rourke. He was the best Packers QB not named Love during their training camp last year. I think this guy is the real deal and our future at QB. Exciting stuff.

I heard his work visa was denied due to social media posts that were negative about McDonald's and DoorDash.

The visa was never coming.

Shitass long winter and offseason blues...Draft ( for the Bombers and Jets!) Can't come soon enough!

Ah Jeez man its Friday,pour yourself your fave cocktail and relax.

They'll probably sign Ward. Lol.

Few monthes after rourke comes up to the riders, we will all be sick of hearing about canadian qbs across the whole league.

Dude, he's Canadian - we stopped selling bourbon.

I’m like W5, why couldn’t he get a work visa? ICE saw his social media postings?

I don't think we will even get a decent idea of how good he is/can be this year. He's extremely toolsy but just as raw. I suspect he will be glued to qb4 or qb3 spot this year unless something crazy happens. Either moving him up, or failing one of those early practice red flag checks.

Hopefully everyone can handle the truth!

Dumped a bucket of piss for a bag of crap....well done Does Sask have a kicker signed?

At 6'5" he might be a good idea for the short yardage QB.

Probably gonna need some seasoning before he is able to walk on water.

I once heard that Zach Collaros would never play for our team because his wife was a teacher out in Ontario.

I heard he was never going to sign here and was only willing to play closer to home...

@wbbfan , you're hired. I don't know about everybody else but I can offer remuneration of one coffee a day.

next the riders sign ward and hype him up into a medlock level kicker

glad he finally made it here, it’s good timing for us and for him. For us, it doesn’t fix our qb situation but it does deepen our talent pool and we need any help we can get at qb. That said, now that he’s signed if any one would give us a second or higher back for him in this draft class i’d take it in a heart beat. He does have a ton of talent, and I think he has a chance to be good. I could see mos falling in love with him. It would be hilarious if he was one of the first cuts though. Small chance it happens too, we have a quick process of elimination for qbs no matter the talent. if they don’t show the mental toughness and mental capabilities quickly they get shown the door. taylor didn’t see the field today, but he was giving this blank stare i don’t like, should cut him. Saw him throw a ball under arm to a coach on the side line and not to over blow it, he might be the goat

I mean we have to take it with a grain of salt like any quarterback that comes here after a college career, and some time in the NFL. There’s a lot to be excited about but there’s no guarantees. I hope he can come in with a good attitude and not let his cup of coffee in the NFL go to his head. He’ll have to continue to work hard and earn a spot. A lot of guys have come up here and underestimated the talent and thought they would instantly dominant and get a ticket back to the NFL but that’s very seldomly the case.

I think he becomes one of the most interesting training camp stories now. Let's see how fast he gets up to speed.

The success rate of my "seems like a dingus" detector remains perfect.

we must have quite he rainy day fund accumulated now....and imagine what it could be if not for the 2 covid yrs Proof positive that if you put in the leg work, and do things right a franchise can be profitable....Hopefully other squads take note and reach out to try and replicate...tho it's also not rocket science either....you just need the right people in charge and ability to listen to and get a sense of your fan base

I challenge anyone not to read that in the voice.

You literally did not say that in the post I quoted no matter how slowly you want me to read the words. If you meant "at some point it's time for him to move on" then fine but I can't read your damn mind.

Read what I said again. Slowly. I never said we should move on from Elgersma. I said at some point HE HAD TO MOVE ON from the NFL tryouts. I also said I hope he does well as I hope for any Bomber rookie trying to make the team. That's all I said. Like, seriously??

Heavy balls was Corny. Dolegala throws rainbows. Why would we be even close to being at the point to moving on from a draft pick from less than a year ago? Should we take every QB off our neg list that has been there for more than a year because it's time to move on?

I've been critical of the decision Elgersma's made with all the NFL tryouts. And I've made that point quite clear because at some ;point, it's time to move on. He's lucky to have a soft pad to land on with the Bombers. The other qbs in the UFL don't have that luxury. having said that, I hope he plays well & shows us that he deserves to be here & can transition to become the starter a year or two down the road. I want Taylor to be successful. I think he'll find the CFL will be a lot more difficult than he anticipated which is a good thing. It means he will have to work hard to be successful.

The Grey Cup champions suck.

Bomber training camp opens in about a month. Won't be a long 5 months for me.

Considering his playing career & his time as president...is Wade Miller the greatest Blue Bomber of all time? I think there's a legit argument. His impact on the field is....something that leaves you wanting more, sure...but has anyone had a bigger impact to this club off the field?

I don't see what goes on behind closed doors obviously, but if every other club doesn't corner Miller and demand his secret at every opportunity, they aren't paying attention. Amazing stuff.

Bombers print money year after year, class of the league on the field and off.

Next few weeks can't go by fast enough... I'm beyond ready to get the season underway with Draft, TC, etc....
