Will mostly be gone in 1 to 3 years. 2 for sure in the next 2 years. All of them in the next 5.

The CFL overall has been crap at finding new stars. We hit about 1 every 2 seasons, with none in the last 2.

And I see no indication that this year's crop will produce any.

This is concerning since we are one of the teams with a retiring star.

The CFL has been terrible at retaining QB's the last 5 years and they're about to pay for it. Every team is looking for the instant fix, 100's of QB's have passed through the doors only to be disposed of within a year or two of their arrival. They used to give QB's 3 years to develop into starters, now they're judged on their potential and given a few brief appearances to show if they have it or not.

I really just see Zach retiring after this year, and maybe BLM, Harris the year after. Arbuckle is capable of replacing Zach and maybe even Powell will get the chance to step into a starting role , brown will flounder, crum has been bidding his time as backup and may get a shot on a Qb depleted team. Cody and Adam's have 2-4 years left in them

Zach needs to retire for his own health.

I'd say Adams and Fajardo each have 4-5 years left.

Rourke, Alexander and Kelly are still young.

Honestly while its a concern its not that much different than it has been in the 35+ years I've been following the CFL.

Agreed. Same story as always.
