People need to also realize Elgersma has proven nothing...shown nothing to make a team want him in the NFL...but  dominated somewhat a lil bit in the CIS
In all honesty big flipping deal..he could amount to basically what all cdn qbs prior to him did...zero 
The most recent cis dominant qb ...Ford has shown exactly that...he ain't good enough
Training and evaluation in the U.S is do specific and so detailed and investigated from so many avenues and by talking to so many people involved with a player it would blow your mind...I see it with the athletes I work with.
Rourke got some legit looks and some legit playtime in TC and not just against other scrubs who had no chance to make it anyway...and had success but again...nfl politics were his demise...and he had pro game film after his first go around when teams didnt even wanna give him a qb look 
Difference...u.s prep school play...u.s college career...u.s legit chance albeit with the CDN bias against him...and he got punted and that was that
Only other cdn qb i can think of...Palmer, who followed same path as Rourke had a limited existence but it also wasnt enough
Sure a guy can chase a dream...but also needs to be realistic..a big arm...the prototypical NFL qb body type isnt a garuantee...there are so many guys who possess what Elgersma has coming out of u.s college with u.s football training that teams will always put first..and thats the reality.
I also wouldn't hang my hat on him here in cfl to be this big success...why would anyone? Its a big jump to make...and if there was a legit thought he had it...he would have been PR'd all yr in the NFL.. and that didnt happen either 
And this pinning in Canada to almost force this idea thst a Canadian QB is needed and great is ludicrous too..who effing cares...find and or develop the best QB regardless...birth certificate should have no bearing on a position..best player should tho

His agent said Elgersma would have no problem playing for Wpg. once his NFL options are exhausted.

As if he has the talent to be a mascot. I'm thinking popcorn seller.

Miller worked with Elgersma in a couple of Argo training camps.  Maybe that’s why we’re interested in him again.

My guess would be Hamilton.  They just released a linebacker.

If CS is as bad as you say, why was he even out there?  They had 2 other QB’s dressed, yet neither saw the field. How about we blame Osh, he’s the one who named him starter.  The coaches have had all season to assess the roster and plan for injuries.  If CS is the best they can come up with, that’s on them and the GM.

......antique stores....my second home....I never buy much but everything on the shelves reminds me of the distant past....Found a relic of days gone by the other day....thought it was quite novel till my wife said we already have one.....Didn't remember buying it and said to myself....uh oh
To everyone on here who have posted some great sentiments...'you too, one day, will enter the world I and a few others on here are a part of'... till then don't ever give up the ship, keep the course and above all don't listen to those gawdamned rider fans..... 

At 79, I am afraid to go into antique stores for fear they may not let me leave. And I get annoyed when they change the supermarket layout. Damned kids.
