rebusrankin Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 So playing devil's advocate on this Canadian player discussion, if you had a chance to play U Sports or NCAA D1 (even say a smaller D1 school such as UND), which would you take?

Noeller Posted November 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 Nobody ever denied that you shouldn't take the NCAA route. The only thing that's been said is, if everyone's going to go crazy about "First Canadian QB To __________" and wet their pants about it, it should at least be about a QB that's played his entire "career" north of the border. Only played 3 down football his entire life. Otherwise, you're just another generic American recruit.

I don't think we'd call them generic American recruits. I think your hate for Rourke is a little strong today. He's gone! Bad man gone!

BC plays 4 down football and SFU where he went was in the NAIA at the time and played four down football. He didn't play 3 down until he came to Winnipeg in 2001. Brady O went to UND so that would also make him not a Canadian. I disagree with your definition of a Canadian in this context.

Noeller Posted November 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) I think you're all missing the point..... I'm not shitting on Candians who played in the States. The point is that we had Rourke shoved down our throats as "Kid Canada" all season for all these things he supposedly did as a Canadian QB. The way TSN spun it (ad nauseum) was as if he was a Canadian who'd come through the Canadian HS and CIS ranks and into the CFL. All the other players that have been mentioned recently in this thread weren't jammed down our throats as incredible Canadians doing something that nobody'd ever done before. That's really where my issue comes in. If Rourke had played entirely 3 down football his whole life and was still doing the things he did, and TSN wanted to freak out about it, I would have no problem.

Wideleft Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 It's a very Canadian trait to crap on Canadians who have made good. Rourke has nothing to do with the hype machine and by all accounts is a grounded, classy athlete (also Canadian traits). I really don't understand the hate. He was a good story in a league that needs good stories. Jpan85, Captain Blue, TrueBlue4ever and 6 others 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he wont...that's already been debunked numerous times...with max PR weeks he would make with exchange about 280k..plus or minus a few hundred depending on the exchange...so how is that more than 450 to 600k in canada...please explain Same with it been reported in press numerous times..and again today that if he was to play next yr up here...it would be top flight QB money...arguing again just to argue I see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
