I'm hoping we give qb's a real chance this year.   No more keeping them on the bench until the 2nd last week of the season in garbage time. 

If Philip Rivers can start in the NFL after 5 years away from the game at the age of 44 with only 1 week of prep... why can't we give real game time to qbs who have been through training camp and months with the club.   

Wanna take a wild guess at when Phillip Rivers threw his first pass in his rookie season?

True but in the context of what he’s saying I think he’s right.  Finding an American who can play a better guard than Nuefeld at league minimum shouldn’t be difficult in fact we already have vanterpool who can do that. 

I’m hoping we search every corner of the world for talent and have high expectations in how we want to build our lines and how we want them to perform and not use them as hiding spots for average to less than average players. Protect ZC at all costs to let him work, provide BO openings that a guy like me could run thru.

If Kramdi makes the tackle, the Lions have time to kick the fg for the win.  Obviously doesn’t make him a hero just funny how it worked out.

Yeah feel for both Parker and Bonds.  Showed lots of promise and had the tools… honestly I wonder how many burns could be attributed to our pathetic d-line use hanging them out to dry.

Parker was never the same after his initial knee injury...before that he was real good....His injury was reason Holm got on the roster as he was beat out for the job....But thats how sports goes...one door closes on ne guy...allows another to step thru

You mean when he was playing behind a 25 year old Drew Brees and Doug Flutie?    He had more then 1 pass attempt compared to Terry Wilson with the Blue in his first season with us.      

The Blue have had opportunities to give other guys some game time and would rather roll out an obviously injured QB and/or a guy who is struggling massively.

Elgersma's NFL door is closing, but he and his agent may be reluctant to admit it.

Imo, one or both of wilson/chase will be let go. I think it’s an indication that we won’t go after a vet fa like powell.

 Elgersma will depend on nfl interest.

The fact he’s getting multiple mid season work outs tells me it isn’t. Maybe it closes before our camp and he comes up, but i think chances are as good that if he wants to be a camp invitee in the nfl next year that he will get it. If he goes that route, I could see him in the ufl this year. Frankly i’d be good with him going ufl then nfl camp and maybe being here mid season if he doesn’t catch on. I just hope he doesn’t end up sitting not getting tc/practice reps. 
I think he still has a lot to gain from high level coaching and practice reps.

I doubt he goes UFL. He either gets a camp offer he likes or comes North. The UFL offers no QB any realistic chance at looking good enough.

Never heard anything like that happening before 🤪😉. Let me guess what happens next. After burning through a few more NFL spring camps he joins the Bombers as a late TC addition (I hope) 👍🏻😁

Think if he could sign a $200,000 a season for two year deal he'd be holding out? The CFL has to re-think this ridiculoulsly low rookie cap. It's okay for the special teamers with little or no talent from U Sports who make a name for themselves running downfield at full speed banging & crashing but have no hope of ever being starters. For legit, talented prospects, there should be leeway for any team to pay these rookie within the structure of the salary cap.

Any of our own potential free agents that you are hoping KW brings back? Castillo and Holm come to mind to me.
