Atomic Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 You would think guys like Russell Wilson and Drew Brees would make NFL types think twice about judging QBs by their height but most still prefer QBs around 6'4 or 6'5. A 6'2 undrafted QB coming out of the CFL already has the deck stacked against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotoriousBIG Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 BLM isn't the biggest qb around & they may have felt he never would have had a fair chance to start.BLM is 6'2" and 200lbs. That's pretty good size for an NFL QB. No that is small for an NFL QB. At least today. Decent size for a CFL QB though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty good size for an NFL QB. No that is small for an NFL QB. At least today. Decent size for a CFL QB though. If an NFL team thought that BLM had the physical & mental tools, they wouldn't give his height a second though. He's right around the average - they might want a little more weight.

17to85 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 You know maybe BLM is just happy to be playing football somewhere he's appreciated rather than trying to go through the grind in teh NFL for no guarantees. Some guys are happy being a big fish in a small pond. Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Bombers sign International running back, previously on the practice roster in 2013 for a month here,Bradley Randle today. Don't think Cotton is a lock to be our running back.. gonna be quite the competition with Cotton,Marshall,Randle etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Cotton is a lock to be our running back.. gonna be quite the competition with Cotton,Marshall,Randle etc. Randle is 5'7" 190lb and runs a 4.38, so he is built for the CFL. The Vikings saw enough in him to keep him around for two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Gonna be quite the competition, read somewhere the bombers wanted a bigger back, while Randle may not be the biggest, 5'7 190 is pretty solid, with marhsall being a good size too, cotton may be on the outside looking in after all is said and done. RB's, man they are a dime a dozen really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 You aren't gonna be dressing 3 international running backs a game, maybe 2 and one goes on the IR or something but i don't even know about that. Depth? Sure, it's more like training camp competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
