As far as I'm concerned he can do whatever he wants. He won't make a meaningful contribution this season even if he comes up here. Even looking longer term, who knows if he even ever becomes a contributing QB in the league, even as a number 2. He's totally unproven, and the odds of any QB developing into a proven commodity  are small. Lots of sizzle so far, but no steak.

If there's any chance he is the one to replace Zach, he needs to show up this season and show some signs he can be developed into a #1 QB.  If he can't achieve that, than he goes down as a wasted draft pick.

We have Perkins coming to camp, he's a former UFL MVP, Elgersma hasn't even made a UFL team yet...I really couldn't care less about the guy and if it wasn't for his NAT status, we wouldn't even be talking about him. Too much has been said about a guy who really hasn't done anything

They can do what they want until Friday, but after that we'd better not see any more games from Nyquist or Schenn, etc.

Get the kids up, see if they  have any chance of helping the team next year. Give Comrie every 4th game. Rest Toews as much as he needs to stay fresh.

And trade Stanley for whatever you can get.

Sadly, I think the most likely event is Stanley getting traded. I'd add Schenn to the mix, too.

This season is done. If only TNSE shared the same sentiment.

Don't like him reporting to the UFL. No idea how well he'll do but even Rourke didn't go that route. He says the right things about the CFL but his actions say another. He's essentially a CIS quarterback doing a nuclear version of the Henoc Muamba tour. His head is clearly not in the CFL game or Canada despite that being the only football he's played.

Are the UFL contracts annual, or seasonal?  Does he have a one year deal, or two?

Does the CFL honour UFL contracts?

I don't see a need for him to be here for camp, or for time during the season, we have plenty of arms for that.

If he shakes loose before camp, he can try to earn a roster spot.

If he decides to come north after the start of the season, if we want to keep him, he needs an AR spot, not a PR spot.  But I am sure whoever is QB3 at that time will take the PR spot.

Or, if he kicks around looking to land an NFL look again, be just as happy to see him next spring for camp.

Hoping to see him in June, if he takes a different route time to consider trading his rights away.

[And trade Stanley for whatever you can get.]

Have to wonder if they are showcasing Stanley on the top PP and giving him 25 min a night.  Its either auditioning him for a resigning, or for a trade.

His outlier year this season, in a contract year, is suspect, but going to pay off for him well.  I can't see offering him more than $4mil here, but someone will give him $5mil+ and 4 or 5 years.

This is a cruel game, and he should grab as much as he can while the iron is hot.  Hope we do get something back for him, though.
