Respectfully, TB, no one agrees that he’s ahead of schedule - as you suggest. Most are in agreement that’s he’s right where he’s expected to be, but is playing on it anyway. And, frankly, his play and needing to keep it elevated to prevent swelling suggests that’s the correct take.

And I couldn’t care less where Rourke is from (though I understand that the Canadian bit adds to his marketability). It was just legit exciting to have a potential new starter in the league who is young. He was on pace to break records as a first year starter. That is a good thing. Without him, Zach is literally the only good QB in the entire league. The league needs new QBs. That’s all. If a random American guy comes up and is on pace to break Flutie’s yards and TD records, he’d get a butt kid of press too. And no one needs to act like Farhan around here, but suggesting Rourke sucks or other crap trying to lessen his accomplishments is something I’d expect to see on riderfans.

Literally no one would argue with you about any of that.

I don’t even think he’ll get there, he clearly shouldn’t be playing. So, you’re obviously a ****. But what about my comment indicated I was upset or offended?

You want me to explain why a sports league needs more superstars?

I like the idea of sportsmanship and helping up an opponent - especially since we don't have a trashy reputation. That said, there's something to be said for "welcoming a 'rookie' into the play-offs". You really need to get over yourself with the Rourke hate though. His success is nothing but good for the league. A rising tide raises all ships, ya know?

100%

I won't entirely count out Rourke looking more "normal" against Calgary. We're just too good.

Zach winning his 6th straight Grey Cup in Winnipeg in 2025 is my current goal.

All we have are all star rookies coming in each year to replace the ones from the previous year who have left for the NFL. We are inside the glory years.

So many guys in the secondary who took some lumps early but will absolutely be all-stars next year.

When we win three, we start preparing for 4.

I thought I saw 31, but Holms not playing, so I have no idea what I’m talking about apparently.

Nope, not that one.

But what was he doing playing in the 4th?

We’re still good.

Crappy bounce, whatever.

Ok, where’s Dru?

Oh man, Prukop worse than I thought.

Look at Zach standing on the sidelines. Still in his helmet. No sleeves or jacket.

Another good stop by Ford in open space.

Schoen outproducing Rhymes!

Man, I watched the first play of the game before, “daaadddy….DAAAADDDDYYYY!”

This is my problem with every broadcast - they choose one storyline and beat it to death.

Meh, you let him finish the drive.
