C. Streveler

He can at least run the offense , which is more than we ve had in years here from our backup. #1 Qb s getting hurt is common place in the league and we don't have a backup plan, not good 

[Tecno]

No money.  Unless he sits and sits and sits and accepts Strev money, which is doubtful.

On the bright side, we'll finally get an answer regarding Wilson#3!!

I think we'll have to wing it & pray, or find the couch-sitter if/when we need an IR-replacement QB, or make a big trade in-season for one (Powell please!).

If MBT was capable of being a QB1 in the CFL, he'd be that by now.

I'd be fine with him here, but I'd rather look at the new recruits, and hope one of them is better than MBT, or even better than Zach...

[Jesse]

agree 100%.  MBT is the best option out there.  he can win you a game or two

I'm not sure that's true anymore.

Those 2-6 games Collaros is going to be injured is going to be fun....

Hopefully that UFL guy can step in and play.

Last year, we had Paterson in for a look.  The depth of QB's that have had a cup of coffee in the CFL who have shown a tiny bit of talent is huge, and pinning hopes going forward on any of the "never made its" seems counterproductive. 

Sure, the reference to The all time #1 QB being one of those that took time to break onto the scene rears its ugly head every time we discuss an MBT or a Dru Brown, but all seriousness aside, how many times more QB's come in an light it up day one?  It's a far, far greater number.

So, hanging onto someone or signing a guy that had some flashes hoping he's the next "long maturing AC" rather than bringing in a cattle call of fresh arms and letting them loose on the 3 down game seems a fool's errand.

We have a plethora of QBs on our neg list for a reason.  And its been a minute since we gave a Vet CFL retread backup any time behind C.

[LXTSN]

I have hope for Bryce Perkins.
He's 29 years old with lots of different experience. He checks a lot of boxes, and I think he can grow into a steady back up over this season. Terry can stay as the short yardage QB if Elgersma doesn't show up

[Jesse]

Walters said we may still bring in a QB with experience, but they are still waiting to see what choice Elgersma makes.

I think they released Shea Patterson before TC opened last season and he's available again.  I was impressed with his work as a SY QB wtih Mtl. last season, he was decently effective but as a backup he's maybe the level of Dakota Prukop.

Walters seemed desperate for Elgersma to be the answer.

Yeah, that ugly fumble at the 1-yard line in the Grey Cup was really impressive.

Hard pass.

I doubt they expect him to be the answer, they want clarification if he's going to be here for 2026; yes or no so they plan accordingly.

They seriously need to find Zach's replacement this season, or they end up re-signing him again because they have no other solutions and no QB's with CFL experience are available. In that Rasheed Bailey highlight video it's easy to see how much better Zach's mobility was a few short years ago, he looked way more fleet of foot and agile. Maybe that trend can be reversed with a drop in weight and more long distance running, I don't know, he should train with Trevor Harris.
