Quote from: bunker on December 24, 2025, 08:44:45 PMIMO Wilson will never be anything more than a short yardage guy, but he's good at it.
Artopoeus is too young and inexperienced to rely upon as the #2. Same with Elgersma if he even comes here next season.
Bryce Perkins is intriguing but who knows how he'll adapt to the CFL game, and he has zero CFL experience.
I would feel more comfortable if Walters brought in a QB with CFL experience as the #2, especially with Zach getting older and showing a greater tendency to get injured. Maier, MBT, Crum, Powell, Shlitz, all can win you games, and would be preferable to going with an unknown.

I'd far rather take a chance on a prospect with unknown but potential CFL ability over a retread.  Sorry, I'd rather have a won't be than a never was, as long as there is a chance he's the next one.

Can confirm Payton Thorne's contract with the Blue Bombers is through 28', as Winnipeg now has 5 QBs under contract:

Z.Collaros 26'
T.Wilson 26'
C.Artopoeus 26'
B.Perkins 27'
P.Thorne 28'

25' 2nd RD pick Taylor Elgersma also remains a FA, having had two #NFL workouts with the 49ers and Bears

Definitely one of the most intriguing QB rooms in the #CFL

Quote from: Jesse on December 24, 2025, 07:51:03 PMHe's been here for two years and hasn't earned any reps over a shell of Chris Streveler. I'm of the opinion that guys show very quickly if they are going to be good or not. Wilson looks like any other guy that's tried and failed, imo.

I go to to a few practices a year as well and he throws more interceptions than completions.

Q: Has Wilson been given a fair shot to show his abilitiy?

A: Nooooooo.

Quote from: markf on December 24, 2025, 07:39:01 PMHow do we know if Wilson is any good? Or if he could become good?

He's had very limited playing time.

Quote from: Jesse on December 10, 2025, 04:54:34 PMStrev 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.

How do we know if Wilson is any good? Or if he could become good?

Spent the morning dropping off baked treats to seniors in nursing homes. Our amazing volunteers, baked a lot of treats with help from some of the grade 5-6 students. The kids bagged up the treats, and today a group of volunteers and some of the kids headed out to the nursing homes. A very nice way to start the holidays.
