Last post by Blue In BC - May 10, 2026, 06:22:42 PMQuote from: theaardvark on May 10, 2026, 06:10:24 PMNot sure Wilson is available to "fly in" if cut. Perkins either.
If Wilson wows in camp and wins the 2nd spot outright, Perkins might accept a PR spot, but with his pedigree, if he even is passable in camp, he could get picked up. But to keep Wilson due to his tenure with the team when he has played under 2 different OC's, Condell being his third. So, he has zero knowledge advantage of the system, and has limited familiarity with the receivers/RB, and even the OLine is significantly different.
Thorne, if he adapts to 3 downs well, could land the PR spot.
The question drops to:
Can Elgersma, with his career in the 3 down game, step in in the case of injury early in the season? Can Perkins show enough to be an injury replacement in training?
Could start the year with ZC8, TE13, BP9 and have Perkins earn his way to QB2?
Not discounting Wilson and his history with the team, and his SY play, but his lack of seizing the QB2 spot in then past brings his ability to do it now, and progress into QB1 into doubt.
If Wilson doesn't nail down QB2 in camp, I'd much rather go forward with Perkins and Elgersma, who both seem to have much higher ceilings.
Condell, as OC and QB coach will have no loyalties to Wilson, and only his own success to base his decisions on.
That's about the size of it. Wilson needs to move up to # 2 or move out to a QB with greater potential. Obviously we don't know much about Perkins or Thorne. Neither may make the roster in any way for all we know at the moment.
Keeping Wilson just as the SY QB is not valuable enough to do that IMO. Can he show progression? Perhaps. TBD.

Last post by LXTSN - May 10, 2026, 05:58:19 PMI disagree with the notion that we need Terry Wilson on the roster because the other options have no CFL experience.
Terry Wilson's last professional start was in the USFL back in 2021. That's also his only pro start. He has thrown a total of 39 in-game passes in the pros.
Bryce Perkins's last professional start was in 2025 and he's thrown a total of 290 passes in the pros. Last season he also took Michigan to the playoffs and won MVP of that league. He's also just one year older than Wilson.
I don't know that Bryce is the answer, but I'd keep an open mind with this QB room!

Last post by Blue In BC - May 10, 2026, 05:17:40 PMQuote from: Stats Junkie on May 10, 2026, 05:12:40 PMTeams can place up to 2 players on the 'injured veteran' list in training camp. Those players are essentially non-counters now. The trade off is an injured veteran cannot participate in training camp practices and must miss the opening game of the regular season.
Well missing 1 game is preferable to seeing a player hit the 6 game IR right off the bat. So in the case of Novak that might be encouraging that he'll be back sooner than later. Having them now as non counters helps the roster shuffling math.
Thanks for the explanation.

Other teams adding some directly to 6 game IR. So does that mean Novak might be available sooner or is it just a delay in doing that?Teams can place up to 2 players on the 'injured veteran' list in training camp.
