The reality is that we have had multiple can't-miss quarterbacks come into camp and flame out, so the odds are against Elgersma. That several NFL teams thought highly enough of him to bring him in is reason for optimism but certainly no guarantee, but if you are a Bomber fan, you live on hope.

That's a low bar.

Sneaky political commentary.

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

Can it be? From Facebook:

So much talent, so much disappointment. Someone will grab him on an incentive-loaded contract.

Emergency? Like performing CPR on a zombie?

Brutal Truth: Jets cannot even fail successfully. Coming up: mid-round pick, mid-round finish. We do not need another Cole Perfetti.

There are always intangibles which weigh heavily on performance.

But we are desperate to find anything even remotely Bomber to bloviate about.

Rocker looks to be an interesting signing- comes across in interview as modest and intelligent, with a large skillset as RB, receiver and kick returner.

The novelty will likely wear off.

I still harbour a suspicion that if it was up to O'Shea, Hogan would still be the OC. JJ was probably making Hogan look bad.

Agreed, but his passport does give him some value, although this will drop his stock a lot. This may also smarten him up enough to consider a Bomber offer. Things have changed a bit since then, but there used to have little but contempt by American coaches and GMs for Canadian pivots.

Then, instead of Collaros getting pulped because of a crappy OC and O-line, we would have had Brown getting pulped, but at a cheaper price. Not sure that would have accomplished much.

Evans is a particularly sad case- talented, athletic but too often unable to cope.

Maybe he finally got the message that he would never have a chance to unseat Collaros.

IMHO, we have had a massive overall upgrade, but still have a couple of concerns. Firstly, I would have been happier with an incentive-loaded contract for Collaros as he is getting to the age where the wheels are gonna fall off. We absolutely need a backup QB to step up. The longer the Elgersma situation drags on, the greater the likelihood he will be delayed in arriving- maybe never.

Soooo...if he shines, would he be Dazzle Brazzell?

I wanted him as coach/GM. Maybe the fire went out.

too bad for him, but may be good news for us. Depends on his mindset if/when he arrives (NFL hangover?)

Just a practice arm. That ought to wake him up.

We have no one brimming with potential ready to replace him, so we have to give him and every other QB an honest shot to become the starter.

To me it looked like Walters got passive and did not challenge O'Shea on his player utilization, likely because O'Shea had accumulated an aura of infallibility, or maybe Walters just trusted him and gave him carte blanche. In his recent presser, Walters had a completely different tone to his statements than in previous pressers, and maybe he had a fireside chat with Miller. Its difficult to understand Walters' thinking in not going all-out for a Grey Cup game at home. Many fans and players will not have a second chance to see their team win The Game at home. It would have been legendary.
