Calgary picked him up late last year, where some thought we might see him get some burn at the end of the year, but not much came of it. He is about as experienced as it gets for NFL QBs making their way up here these days. He's got a tool set that should work well up here, too. He isn't young, but he is a high upside guy and should be a high floor passer. And in a league that still sees guys who can't play, cycle through jobs for years, that is a great luxury to have.  

In general, the CFL to NFL pipeline for QBs is pretty much dead. We are both looking at the same qualities for QBs now, but the extended camp and PR sizes just vacuum prospects up till they burn out. It's wild that the era of "spread offence isn't pro/NFL viable (Unless it's the 9ers)" led to far more QBs going from here to the NFL. 

Rourke has all the tools in the world and is young, but they spit him out in short order. If he weren't a CFL QB, I feel like he would've gotten a longer look. Instead of the overlap in QB tool sets deepening the developmental roots from here to the NFL, the pay gap and time range have killed the grounds. So, most teams settle for guys who transferred once or twice as high-star recruits out of high school who struggled to find sustained success in college. Or guys who played in the basement levels of the NCAA. 

 Which has left CFL teams fighting over the long-since-expired careers of has-beens and never-will-bes.
