CFL - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread

[3rdand1.5]

Simply put Rourke IS NOT worth the contract he has today..........

Time will tell if he is what we saw this year or what we saw two years ago

I also agree with Booch, Betts was virtually a non factor.....and one step further I would also consider Covington mostly a miss.....

Taking emotion out of the equation, BC got a terrible return on investment with both Rourke and Betts for this season, and it would appear it is compounded by fines and potential draft pick losses.........very poor financial choices were made out on the West coast.......

Paying a qb that much rarely works out in the cfl these days

Yeah I don't see Rourke winning a GC with that contract.

If you’re legit flutie 2.0, and have an awesome front office bringing in excellent rookie dbs and WRs I think you can. With out that, real hard to see it happening.

I’m sensing a restructuring of that contract sooner than later.

Rourke was a fool (as was his agent) if they thought the Lions would actually pay out to the life of that contract. It was just to sucker him into signing. Even with a retructuring, it'll be the most expensive in the CFL. Good luck signing their key free agents or bringing in others. Just bad management decisions. Extremely bad.
