It's funny and a bit absurd at the same time. LaFleur really sent his career progression careening off a cliff by bringing him in, inadvertently of course. We're talking about a USports quarterback who would be 2-3 on a CFL depth chart at this stage. There's 50 or more American trained and coached quarterbacks aging out of the NCAA every year that are just like him but better.

One thing I like about Elgersma is that he played defence in Jr. hockey for the London Knights, so he should be accustomed to physical contact and doling out punishment and is probably pretty tough. A mindset that would be foreign to a QB raised in the US who has been pampered and protected by a yellow jersey from a very young age. Not that Elgersma is going to intimidate any D-lineman but he'll play without fear and physical contact should not phase him.

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Blue Bombers Add Receiver
Last post by Blue In BC - April 14, 2026, 03:30:40 PMI think an import receiver will be hard pressed to make the AR to start the season ( barring injury ). It looks like the team is expecting to start 3 Canadian receivers.
Now this is not to say we won't find some really talented players that might be added to the 1 game IR or PR to start the season.
However there are instances where an import is just too good to keep off the game 1 day on the AR.
I hope we find a couple that fall into that category. Then it gives those players a bit longer to learn the CFL game and playbook before pushing for a starting role.
As long as the Canadian receivers are playing well and the team is winning there may not be any need to rush a rookie.
All that said, Clercius, Cobb and Corcoran all have more to prove. I'm fine if each shows more development and is used well in the offence.
The need to start 3 Canadian receivers hinges on the decision at LG from a ratio point of view or vice versa. I don't see a current opportunity to have a receiver as a DI unless Vaval is injured in TC. Even so his skill set required might be more about return ability than as a receiver.
It would be an interesting bet on the outcome of either of those situations.

Last post by Waffler - April 14, 2026, 03:24:37 PMQuote from: Tecno on April 14, 2026, 02:34:00 AMThere's a huge chance that Elgersma will need 1-2 years dev when he comes north. Even Rourke & Alexander & Kelly did (yes, but Elgersma has the 3down experience already, but still...).
Pro leagues aren't college.
Agree. The biggest reason he is not employed now in the NFL is that he is just too raw. Throwing him to the wolves in any league won't help.

Last post by JockitchwithRich - April 14, 2026, 02:03:36 PMCertainly a thrill for Yager. Faceoffs were tough for him but he definitely showed speed, skill and compete.
Won't rant on any negative. Pleased to see a feisty effort, especially in the third.
