Most fanbases wouldn't be concerned about their #3 QB needing to win games for them.  Unfortunately we've watched our third-string QB start at least one game for us in each of the last 5 seasons.  How sad is that.

A worse stat might be that we haven't had the same Quarterback lead the team in yardage in back to back years since Kevin Glenn in 2007 and 2008.

 

Ouch!

Good, now he can get back into polling….where he obviously belongs.

Pretty sure he was on the Bombers' neg list for quite some time.

College star, former second round NFL draft pick. Great athlete but didn't make it in the NFL.

[Noeller]

Been an awful lot of those up here...

[Atomic]

That's for sure

Quite right.

Here's more: April 11 2011

 

WHITE OFF BLUE RADAR: The Bombers have removed former West Virginia star Pat White from their neg list, according to a CFL executive. White, drafted by the Miami Dolphins but released in 2009, had turned his attention to baseball but stepped away from an opportunity with the Kansas City Royals last month. Winnipeg opted to move on as there were questions about whether White was going to continue with his football career and because they have some other QB prospects they find interesting, particularly with those free agents that don't get drafted in the NFL later month likely to look north for opportunities.

A quarterback who can't pass.

[MOBomberFan]

Wow, Pat White. I was dreaming about having him up here years ago. He is definitely one hell of an athlete. I think he played baseball after the first time his NFL dream came to an end. The guy can run; he posted a 4.55 in the 40yd sprint

@News1130Sports: #BCLions defensive lineman Jabar Westerman has told gm Wally Buono that he's not willing to sign a contract extension.

[Jpan85]

Something is happening in BC guys can't get out of there fast enough. Have they all had enough with Wally?

[Dirty30]

Is his brother still on the team? Maybe Banks and Moore can do some recruiting.

Looks like Wally just got Westerman'd!

[DR. CFL]

All that means is he wants to play out his optional d test the NFL interest. Certainly not anything unusual.

you think he has a shot? I don't..

Maybe he wants out of bc, maybe he just wants to test the market.. To assume it's "just" for NFL reasons is a little goofy if you ask me.. Specially as he didn't really wow anyone this year..

Andrew Harris re-ups in BC. There goes my dream of bringing him next off season.

I heard there's a trade involving him and 1 of the condition is to extend him.....

 

just kidding....

[gbill2004]

Apparently Harris is also moving to BC full time.

He's going to have to have one heck of a raise to live in Vancouver full time.

He'll likely want to live closer to Surrey than Vancouver since that's where the Lions' practice facilities are although even there wouldn't be cheap.
