However we want to characterize Makonzo's role as a key player in historically bad Chris Jones D...the guy hasn't suited up for a football game in 22 months. He's not going to play more than 35-40 snaps in a whole game including special teams.

Look at our receiving corps in 2022 and try to find a spot for him. Yeah we could use that player today. He would have had a hard time getting on the field in 2022.

The study on NFL players is anyone coming off ACL isn't close to previous production until 3 years later. Reinjury rate also crazy high (for everything hip down) and most pro football players don't make it to 3 years post ACL. So yeah, I don't expect him to be anything like he was his first couple years and he'll have to keep working to adapt his game to the reality of where his body is. I get that Mitchell is better than those Canadians, but also kind of a red herring because it's picking whether to dress a borderline useless American or borderline useless Canadian. Mitchell is like a grenade they forgot to install the charge in. We pulled the pin and there was no explosion.

Wolitarsky is cooked physically. But even having him for half a season would have been fine for the Bombers. Wasn't a necessary move. Would have help with new offensive coaching staff too.

Wolitarsky is already paid for the rest of the season after Game 9. 0% chance he gets cut.

A guy on the slimmest of rookie deals isn't a factor. Likely who they do sign will be making more.

Cap space? lol Elgersma is basically the prototype, tested off the charts at the couple senior showcases and senior bowl. Arguably best overall ability of the QB's in the 2025 class. Look at the mess in Tennessee with the #1 pick. If you want a guy to mold into a franchise QB he's got all the attributes without the bad habits that need to be coached out from playing in a shitty NCAA spread system. Perfect guy to run pro style, west coast concepts. Yeah they probably worry about his experience level, but lots to work with there. Guy who was a multiple sport athlete and didn't commit fully to football until Grade 11/12....which is also the basic plot line of arguably the two greatest QB's in the modern era, although they were baseball players not hockey. Neither one of those guys (Brady and Mahomes) were 5 star recruits. Who cares if a guy went to Miami or Texas if he has no velocity or accuracy, can't make throws on time, can't adjust and make plays if they get off schedule? All to say, I don't expect to see Elgersma up here until 2027 or 2028 at earliest and more likely never. I don't really see him coming up soon. He has no path to playing time here this season, he'd probably have to force a trade but there's really nowhere other than Montreal who needs a QB immediately where he might get any playing time. The only reason for him to come up would be to play and set himself up for another NFL shot. Standing on the sideline here doesn't make much sense.

Yeah it's interesting how they would rate Clifford. His preseason numbers are progressively worse and atrocious this season. But they track so many reps the guys get in OTA and training camp.

NFL is boring as ****. Same issues there as CFL. Most teams can't pass protect consistently so even with great QB's you have some real stinker games. Canadian Football at least has special teams to bring some variety and excitement. American Football has basically removed everything but FG's and punts that are fair caught or downed anyways.

Bridge(s) to the house.

Yeah depending on the shape they are in. Moore would likely be somewhat questionable also coming off ACL. Echols I could see being a little more able to go right away. Generally feel like Hogan is a little overdoing it. Just need some basic stuff executed well.

99% if he doesn't get claimed by someone else he'll be on Green Bay's PR.

He looks like he's on the Nik Lewis diet plan without the willingness to be a possession receiver.

Honestly the main selling point of the CFL are the timing rules of the final 3 minutes. And arguably the most boring part of any NFL game when a team with a one score lead can just bleed the clock under 2 mins with 3-4 plays.

That's the play everyone has been running on us all year. Leave the corner on an island.

Do you think he's going to completely pass on any opportunity he might get in the NFL for the 2025 season for $30,000 Canadian? PR salary in NFL is $13,000 US per week. The competition is NFL and spring leagues that allow guys to leave immediately for NFL.

I really liked Echols last preseason. Don't think Moore can do much, kind of always limited in terms of ability to win routes even at his peak.. Screen, or down the rail. Two ACL injuries. Think we really need to build up offense around opening up horizontal space and then going over the top with Wheatfall based on who we have. Not a ton of vertical threat, Mitchell looks a little heavy to me otherwise he'd be a guy that would be a vertical threat. Get Logan involved in combo with Oliviera both running and in pass game. It's going to be a slog.

He's got 17 weeks to get PR or active in NFL. He's got basically 7 game cheques that he can make up here. And if he chooses the latter he's taking a punt on the NFL until 2026. The Bombers would really have to sign him to a huge extension IMO to get him to come north. And I'm also not sure he's that good in our league.

I don't disagree but the incentives to come north this season are not that great. If he does he basically ends any hope he does have of getting a NFL shot for a bit of Canadian money.

The only +500 team (if we're counting that in the dipshit way) Sask has beat is Hamilton twice. And we haven't played Hamilton or Sask yet. Basically Calgary controls their destiny in the West. And either us or Sask sweeping the back to back would allow the winner of those games to control their destiny for at least a home playoff game.

Yeah he showed up his teammate but that guy was moving to help block the nose while Hardrick was passing a guy off to block air. Dumb and lazy play then with the show of waving his hands around at a teammate when he was the one who ****** up.

It's too bad the CFL doesn't let guys go once the season is done up here. He signs up here and he basically takes himself out of the 2025 NFL season. However large or small the chance of him snagging a PR spot down there is.

Even if they gave him $200,000 CAD pro-rated he's got like $80,000 Canadian plus playoff money for the rest of the season. That's 4 weeks of NFL PR salary. He's a guy that made a nice NIL nut too at Florida State. I don't think he's desperate for a few game cheques in Canadian dollars.

Nah don't think QB matters for BC at all. They need a defense.

Sask's secondary is brutal especially if their 4 man rush is handled.
