I think you only have to look as far as what happened in Ottawa this year when both designated QB's were injured and a non designated QB came in to play. Pretty sure this ends the argument.

Any player can play QB, RB's and Receivers can take direct snaps too, but that's not the same thing as rostering a 3rd QB. QB's have special rules as I've quoted.

If a Canadian QB is a Canadian when he starts and a Canadian if he's rostered as a 3rd string QB, why would any team ever roster a Canadian QB as QB2? Roster an American QB as QB2 and the Canadian QB2 as an OL or any other position so his passport matters. If QB1 goes down, just use OL designated Canuck QB. One QB could hold the other be the 3rd down QB.

None of this is as contradictory as you make it seem IMO. You sign a guy as a QB he has to play QB, OK but what stops you from putting a 3rd QB on the roster at the expense of a DI? He is just on the roster to stand around in case you need him. It costs you a DI though and DIs are very important to teams these days. Or you use a Canadian QB and it costs you a special teams player and potential depth at other positions.

Now let's say you sign Streveler as a running back for example, now you can put him on the roster with anyone... but I bet the CFL would create a rule to prevent things like that from happening. 

A 3rd string QB would be signed as a QB and only 2 QB's are allowed on the roster at one time. Therefore, you can't roster him as a QB. If you could sign him as an OL, you could roster him, his passport would matter, and he could play QB, but then why would you ever sign a #3 QB as a QB?

You know what sounds easier and makes more sense and what had worked for many years.... having 3 qbs on a gameday roster....

How was Bennett allowed to play SP teams a few years back.
 

Also all NFL teams dress 2 QBs, BC was doing this before rule came out too.

it was embarrassing to the league that BC had to put Reilly back in the game when they were getting stomped by the Bombers... would've been a good chance for a rookie to get some time in...

Whose bright idea was that to get rid of the third qb???
