1st & 10 | The Complete Blue Bombers QB Picture

[LXTSN]

It would be wise on Elgersma to sign up here and really get his career rolling. His toiling down there is fruitless.

But the reward is so much higher if he's able to crack an active roster in the NFL. I also find it extremely unlikely, but I'd never knock him for trying!
He's only 23 years old, so there's lots of time.

Can we all agree that we should look to replace both Strev and Wilson??
Not saying it will actually happen with how stubborn our upper management has been, but without a doubt in my mind, it would be the right decision...

In the case of Streveler he may not even be ready for half a season, but yes we should move on from him.

Wilson's ceiling is not really anything we know with certainty. I'm not expecting to add a more experience QB in free agency, but that's possible.

On the surface Perkins may have more upside and experience ( from USFL ). Wilson has been on our roster for 2 seasons but we're expecting a new OC so his advantage may have disappeared. Some posters need to comment on what they saw in any practices they saw.

It's probably safe to think Wilson is pencilled in as the # 2 until a move is made.  As we've mentioned there are 11 QB's on the neg list and in theory someone might be added by TC.

I'd like to think Wilson gets a shot in TC to prove he belongs but he's a TBD.

Strev should absolutely be done as a player at this point in his life.

I do not want the Bombers to be in a place where we're depending on Wilson to start games, but if we kept someone on the roster to be the SY guy, I'm more than happy with him filling that role.

Elgersma at #2 here would be less visibility than a PR in the NFL. 

Now, if he gets a legit chance to be #1, if Collaros renegotiates his contract with a low salary and game start bonus, and Elgersma gets the same, were I he, I'd sign in an instant.

But signing behind a veteran that was kept in the GC by his current coach even though he could not grip the football, I wouldn't like my chances of getting in the game and making game film to shop south of the border.

Make it worth his while.  Give him a legit shot at taking over BEFORE Collaros leaves (or get knocked out).  Platoon Collaros to extend his career.

I know there is less than 0% chance that can happen.  We will stick with Collaros again, and Elgersma will have a slight chance of choosing to come north and ride a CFL bench over a much more lucrative NFL bench.

I agree that Wilson hasn't really been given the chance, but he's had a few opportunities and he hasn't exactly shined.
He is a solid short yardage QB.

In a perfect world, I would like to have this:
QB1 - Star QB / Starter
QB2 - Solid serviceable veteran. Jake Maier, MBT, Crum... etc. Someone that can win you games short term, but not a championship.
QB3 - Prospect / potential future starter. He would ideally be your short yardage QB as well.

I think we had a bad QB room last season with 2 short yardage QB's and Collaros struggled.
Hoping that Zach can come back from a down season. He's oldish QB's can last a long time!
