Because since a couple/few years ago the QB can count as one of your 7 NAT starters? That definitely increased the interest on making a NAT QB "work". Before that it was absolutely no "bonus" for you to start a NAT QB.

Last post by theaardvark - Today at 04:11:15 AMThere haven't been a lot of Canadian QB's playing in any league. Rypien, Palmer, O'Rourke in the NFL, Jackson and now Rourke in the CFL.
But then again, Canadian born football players in skill positions have been hens teeth as well. Sure, we've had a lot of hoggies over the years, but not a lot of skill players.
Recently, though, we've seen more of that, as Canadians get more NCAA opportunities. So thinking that Canadian boys can't be QB's is not likely to continue being a thing.
There is also the other side of being a Nat QB, there's always the Sinopoli option... Elgersma is 6'5 227, Sinopoli was 6'4 217... and he runs a 4.53 40... so there's that.

Last post by TBURGESS - Today at 02:25:44 AMStarted a few games isn't what I call a starter.
What I'm saying is the chances of any Canadian QB, especially one who didn't have US coaching, becoming a starter in the CFL is remarkably slim. If he makes it he will be a unicorn, like Rourke.

Last post by Blue In BC - Today at 01:36:08 AMQuote from: TBURGESS on March 03, 2026, 11:23:04 PMHad to look him up, but it looks like there have been 2 starters since the 1960's. My point stands.
There have been a few Canadian that have started some games. Lions had another one. Hamilton had one in the mid 80's as well. While they did not have great success, they had some opportunities.
Frank Consentino in Hamilton also comes to mind. He played in the 1960's and had a 10 year career. Completed nearly 50 passes for 7700 yards. Keeping in mind that was the era of more run than passes.

I think we care about all of our draft picks who are good enough to get NFL looks. We're also in the market for a young quarterback with his physical attributes.
Should we be intentionally uninterested because he's Canadian?

Last post by Pigskin - March 03, 2026, 11:11:15 PMIF, I am trading NP4, it would have to be for a top 6 forward with some term. The Jets need a 2nd. line C or RW.
