25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread
He been around a yr...and not sure why so many think he's a legit option....nothing I have seen tells me that....yeah he has had no shot in any reg season games....but also thee a reason too....well nobody here gets a shot with Osh as the HC unless there no other option but even then he will run a less than healthy guy out there before a backup After this yrs TC the greek QB will be just a fart in the wind and gone

who really effin care's about a Canadian QB....like really....People need to care more about "legit" Canadian stars who are getting it done...for succesive yrs....Guys like BO...Demski...just on the Bombers alone....Skilled position guys...Valuable to a team's success guys...Why do people get fixated on a QB all the time....it's pointless and never gonna happen Rourke is Canadian by birth only not by training and how/where he developed.....Ford...Yeah was all everything in the CIS...And hot assed garbage in the pros' and history and all likelyhood Elgersma will be too...He got the look he did, based soley on his body type as it fit what used to be the dream MFL stereotype, and even that is changing now and U.S trained and born guys like him are not the sure thing they used to be

Yeah the NFL generally doesnt employ Osh type coaches who fall into that trap....and if they have a coach who does he is quickly kicked to the curb Elgersma on his last gasp, and being a camp arm at that combine is hardly a gasp...If he was smart he would immediately after it is done, sign up here and start his ELC clock and get on with his best chance for a sustained career

yeah he was very assignment sound and the perfect compliment kind of guy Lawson is real good...And this yr with actually help not named Thomas beside him gonna eat...He was I believe one of...if not the top Inside guys in terms of pressures and collapsing the pocket league wide for Canadian DT's Another totally under radar guy is Bailey who likely gets a roster spot this yr as rotation....the more reps he gets he gonna pop off the page alot..He has a real good combo of speed and power....Looking forward to his progression this yr

Jason Vega too until chronic injuries derailed him...actually was just chatting with him yesterday, looks like he could still play...pretty sure he not even 40 yet thing is...even in that crap league he gonna be buried behind guys with U.S ball experience...Dude is just flailing at things now and is getting horrible guidance from his management team

Pretty much 2 guys being used to not have legit guys get hurt throwing.....He will get some bad guidance tho and waste a good portion of his summer waiting...doing a workout here...or there...maaaaaybe a mini camp or go to an OTA...and at same time earn zero dollars....and that be that...show up in 2027 2 yrs delayed and behind in development Or he sucks up his pride and is up here post labour day...gets on the PR and starts to learn things...maybe get on roster back half of yr and then can be a legitimate participant in 2027 camp as a possible QB 2 candidate....

You have to tho look at the talent and competition he was competing against tho in the CIS and the speed of the flow..and how quickly he can process things...its a huge gap from there to just NCAA ball..let alone pros...hes proven nothing And in all honesty...based on his appearance and many a player..even really bad ones get looks...some several on just that alone. The fact he held down zero weeks on any PR with 32 teams in the NFL..many with utter garbage as their 3rd on depth chart...let alone PR tells you something... U ready my mind and beat me to the punch! If he was truly legit hed have played prep ball in HS down south at least his senior yr and would never been on a CIS field

Yeah he has an intruigin skill set and appears like he could be multi faceted..some inside stuff with 3 ends and Ceresna...I could see him also off the edge as a jack type on 3 man fronts and at times dropping into the low flats..

Like him more than I did..that being said stixk him at safety as a true over top guy...he's a waif and gets out muscled and isnt a strong tackler...thats why he gets targeted lots...hed be a killer int machine at safety if his eyes are as good as these fancy feet we here about Our secondary save for Nichols and Griffen were a right bunch of wussies who installed zero fear in anyone

I can see him at corner game 1..unless another Alford drops outta nowhere I say this knowing osh and how he is..and will favour the vet if he had access to one Sure he played Alford and Nichols immediately but had to...we had no vets and open spots..Holm too was due to injury... If that was training camps with old vets ...we would never have mentioned Nichols or Holm..again..and Alford wouldnt be in the NFL now Wasn't Holm actually cut...and then brought back cause of injuries?

And Rourke was able to weasel out of the pathetic rookie deal setup too after his failed attempt...Elgersma's camp should be talking to them That being said he also has proven absolutely nothing...at this point is all hype and assumptions and only way to get away from that is realistically get to Canada where he will be given every chance possible...get some film and show that yeah..he's legit

I'd prefer we go only 2 national receivers....The drop off from the 3rd Canadian spot and depth behind all 3 to a import receiver is far greater and makes us a weaker offense as a whole when you consider Corcoran or possibly some Rookie is having to take reps White..Pokey and whomever...with Demski and Neild/Clercius/Cobb is by far better than White...Pokey...Demski...Neild...Clercius/Cobb/Corcoran or some other rookie draft pick....and not even a debate about it really...And with the 3 Canadian starters...you have zipp for depth...at least with just Demski and one of Clercius/Neild u still have Cobb and the other of Clercius and Neild We could still go 3 import Oline guys if we choose and meet ratio as Eli/Neuf/BO/Demski/Neild or Clercius gives us 5 on offence, and any combo of 2 of Lawson/Kramdi/Bailey/Shay/Smith/ allows us to hit ratio...and here's a thought...actually use a Nationalized American on defence for 29 snaps as well and only have to have 1 true Canadian take a snap....far better option overall so hope Osh doesn't get this gotta have 3 Canadian receivers' going, cause we all know if he allowed to he will over use marginal Canadian over a more talented option ....ZC needs the best options available to him and guys who can make an impact and garner attention....We didn't land a Gittens...Brisset...Philpot to actually make that legit There are several import guys still out there who would make us way more dynamic, and a grimy guy like Rhymes too would give our group some edge and attitude...as from what I see right now...we dont have that...We flourished when we had an Adams...a Bailey...guys who got under the skin of teams and played with edge

Yeah he is a player we have rights to...support them all....but he basically is hype and hope at this point...and the longer he dilly dallies down a dead end road...the longer he is delaying this process and proving anything...and he is getting older at same time with no evidence of anything...which dont help his cause He should suck it up....win a job here....shoot the lights out when he is still very young and if NFL teams see the possible talent...then he can get a more legit shot coming in as a successful starter in Canada...but **** around for couple yrs...stunting your growth while u wait and being 26..27 already if you do show you may be worth a look, and even then it will be as a prospect and a developmental type thing...You basically aged yourself out as NFL teams wont put in the time and money on a guy that may not show it until he 30ish...especially a guy coming with his background
