Quote from: TecnoGenius on August 11, 2025, 04:00:45 AMI don't think MBT was on our PR.  He was here in a TC and then cut in final cuts IIRC.

I think he threw a great deep TD in a PS game?  He certainly showed glimpses of having "it".

So we can take credit for scouting him, but no credit at all for dev'ing him.

okay that makes more sense.  I still do not have any recall of him being here.  And I would've seen that PS game deep TD as I would've been there, or watched it on TV.  So hats off to your recall and Jesse!

The Bombers signed him to the PR in September 2016.

I don't think anyone "developed" MBT. He came here in his 6th year as a pro. We were something like his 12th team.

Speaking of QBs. Elgersma was 3/4 for 28 yards in his first pre-season game. Played about 3 minutes late in the 4th. quarter.

Always hard to assess at garbage time in preseason, all the d was likely rookies playing off.

I was happy to hear he got in and got a few minutes of playing time.

As were all the O, level playing field.

He "flashed" in camp as well, which is why he is still there and got any PS snaps at all.

I won't hold my breath for him coming north in the next year or two, but I can see him eventually making it here.  Big fish/small pond.

Green Bay only has 4 QB's. Elgersma's worst outcome is PR since they keep 3 on the roster. They say he will see more action in the next game.

O. Wilson however is in tough. He will have to show a lot in the next game or two.

Good news, Pokey is not a quick learner, his talent is only revealed when they throw the ball in his direction as a last hope and he somehow snaps it out of the air and picks up another 6-8 YAC, surprising everyone. He won't look good on film unless they throw the ball to him.

He was certainly dev'd for the Canadian game.  He didn't do much when he first arrived up north.  Took him a long while to become a legit starter.

Just my total guess but I think he'll be here for camp next year. The Packers probably release him in a couple weeks and he'll wait it out and sign in the CFL off-season.

I said he was dev'd... I didn't say by us!  I'd have to wrack my brain (and cheat and check his cfl.ca page) to remember who did all his dev... TOR?
