Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Blue Bombers Add Receiver

Last post by Blue In BC - Today at 02:47:43 AM

The most effective receivers have a high football IQ like Dressler and Tyler Snead, not saying Clercius doesn't have a high football IQ but not much evidence to show he does either.

Yeah but players can continue to show improvement and not everyone can do it in the 1st couple of years. Some do and some never do. So he'll have to show more IMO, but Cobb and Corcoran are not exactly setting a high bar.

6'5, he's going to be a beast on SY, no?

I think he gets QB3 just from a ratio standpoint.  Wilson battles Perkins for QB2, with Thorne as a dark horse, PR if Perkins wins, cut if Perkins loses (Perkins to the PR).  I can't see Wilson on the PR or QB3...

He doesn't help the ratio unless he starts. QB's have their own category. I suppose if he goes in for short yardage he might impact the ratio on that play. However, short yardage is just that. No need to add another import receiver or OL, which we probably don't have on the AR.

I was expecting one of Perkins or Thorne to end up as the # 3 QB. Elgersma has to beat out one of those 2 and Wilson. Those are steep odds for day 1, but if they park him on 1 game IR, he might catch up and pass somebody.

Chances are it's bad news for Wilson unless he wins the spot at # 2.

It's very bad if you're Terry Wilson's clipboard.

It's a 3 year deal for a set amount based on draft level. Essentially not a large amount above the $75K usual ELC. I think teams are limited on the max level.

Regardless. He'll be here for TC. Maybe he surprised and / or some or all of the rookies don't show well. If he wins a spot on the AR then great. Just a guess but I think he ends up on the PR, possibly 1 game IR to protect him from leaving. Yes he still has the option window after year 1.

Let the battle begin.

Good to see he finally came to his senses, but I am thinking his visa issues couldn't be resolved so he had no other football option

Just like Liam Dobson. Doesn't matter what brings them up here. He's here now.

What was the major change, last year to this year?

New GM?

New core players?

Oh wait...

I don't think we got the lights out goaltending we got last year, that literally stole us games last year, not so this year. Also, lost some speed in Ehlers and our 'depth' scoring was down 30 goals from last year. So if you're letting more in than you did last year and not scoring as much as you did last year, you're going to lose more games and that's what happened.

Rookie camp just got extra spicy.

Since he is signed, guessing he's getting the playbook, and will have time to get up to speed.

Whether it's a two or three year deal, he still has the option window, so there was that in his favour.
