Fan Boy Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Id like to see this guy stick for many reasons.. Local boy, actually has some decent skills, athletic enough to be a "gimmick" guy and would be cool to be one of the few to show willingness to give a canadian QB. Chance.. He's from Regina... which last I checked doesn't qualify as local... also he has the skill to be an actual QB not just a gimmick guy like like we had a few years ago... what was that guy's name, Rustin Doltz? Are you being grumpy or just a bit hungry? Maybe you should have a candy bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlue Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Yantz can throw the ball on a rope 40 yards with great accuracy ... possibly the best arm in camp .... could be the next Russ Jackson .... he is also an elusive QB with good feet Little known is he is a decent punter... defenses cannot play loose when he is punting cause he will burn them with his passing ability ... at least a backup punter special fake guy ... think higher than Bob Cameron: could be a starting QB in 3 years: Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I really wish the league would just go 22 Canadians and 22 "Internationals". Then 2 internationals on the reserve and 12 pr players (8 Int and 4 Canadians). C'est la vie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hope we can develop him and put together a package to take care of his skills. As for NI QBs, why not an extra PR spot for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we would add 5 or 6 junior Canadian spots to the roster and develop them over 2-3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 They brought Yantz in last year and he didn't look out of place as a QB. I think he might surprise some people. bearpants and Mark F 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTA Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Just my take Know there has been a lot of talk about this issue since the draft, first off as a person who played in the cis and now coach I love the opportunity these kids are getting in the league but I think we are still 5 to 7 years away from a legit kid who could start in the league. The reason why I think this is the lack of reps/coaching the Canadian kids gets growing up from the High school range especially. It is getting better tho especially in the coaching ranks but most QB don’t get a quality QB coach until they hit the Jr or CIS . Some high schools have great qb coaches but they are far and few between. The biggest reason which is starting pick up steam finally for Canadian kids is the 7 on 7 game. If you don’t know 7-on-7 football is a program that many high schools and middle schools run during the off-season. 7-on-7 is played without pads and receivers are downed by one-hand touch (there are no flags involved). 7-on-7 is also a passing only game - there are no offensive rushing plays and defenders cannot rush the quarterback. These kids are getting so many more reps all year. RR just started last year playing with a traveling team. Been really run in States since 1998. This is such a great tool to develop young qbs and get them a ton of reps. kelownabomberfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At camp in 2013 I woulda ranked him 2nd behind only Buck... Buck, Yantz, Hall, Goltz, Chase something (I forget the guy's name) ... then again, there wasn't much to be excited about that year...

gbill2004 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Penton tells me it might not be a 3 year deal anymore as there was a "glitch" in the negotiations caused by his agent. Penton expects Yantz to develop on the PR this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
