Marve (6'1", 210) most recently tried out for Tampa Bay after going undrafted in 2013. #Bombers #CFL

"The Bish" was a very good college QB. Of course QB's at that level are able to get away with a lot more at the college level than at the pros.

Reminds me a lot of another guy Danny McManus brought into Hamilton for a quick look, Mitch Mustain.

 

Great athlete, big recruit, checkered NCAA career.  The fact that he hasn't played a whole lot means he's likely behind the curve in his development, and each time he did get the opportunity to play he wrecked a knee.

 

If anything he's a stash on the 9 game type of project.

I like his focus in this video, nothing distracts him ... 

 

There's a dude in that video?

The question will be whether he makes it out of the Rookie Mini-Camp and gets an invite to the Main Camp.

 

I believe the Rookie MC is in Florida?

So, does that mean Levi Brown isn't here anymore? I was hoping to see what he could do.

He has been off the roster for a couple of months iirc.

What's the scoop on Levi Brown?

I don't remember him being released. 

I don't remember him being released.

He finished the season on the practice roster, meaning he has been a free agent since the season ended.

Wouldn't surprise me if Marve was signed for the sole purpose of having a QB throwing passes in rookie camp in Florida next month.

Rookie camp is in June.

The one in Florida (whatever you want to call it) is April 13-15.

That's the mini camp. I am pretty sure all the QB's will be there.

Yikes.

I'm so excited for Robert to get this opportunity and I will not pretend to know a whole heck of a lot about the CFL but believe I will soon. Robert has a cannon for an arm and he is a fierce competitor. Don't believe the negative publicity surrounding his time at the U. Trust me when I say that...there are two sides to every story and I'll leave it at that. Winnipeg football fans....get ready for some zip on that ball and some long and accurate passes down the field.This is going to be fun. Please believe it. 

Reading up on him he seems to carry a lot of 'baggage'

 

He was 6-5 as a starter during the 2008 season,[2] splitting his playing time with true freshman Jacory Harris. He started every game except the season opener against Charleston Southern, for which he was suspended as the result of Marve's arrest in Coconut Grove when he was charged with two misdemeanors - resisting arrest without violence and criminal mischief - after he punched and broke a car mirror then tried to elude police by running away

No worries sir....it's all going to be good....promise...I'm so excited for Robert to get this opportunity and I will not pretend to know a whole heck of a lot about the CFL but believe I will soon.

I wonder what his dad thinks of him coming up here...

 

That stood out to me too.

 

He's got a LOT of baggage ... a dad who loves sharing his opinion, some criminal history, a missing ACL ...

 

I'm not holding my breath.

 

 

On top of that, for some reason, I would also have to question his level of commitment.

 

Don't question his commitment level bro. I promise you will like what you see.............I'm so excited for Robert to get this opportunity and I will not pretend to know a whole heck of a lot about the CFL but believe I will soon.

I gotta hand it to you, bud. You're persistent.
