Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Blue Bombers add quarterba...
Last post by theaardvark - March 25, 2026, 02:39:43 AMThe last thing I want is the distraction of a proven loser QB with "CFL experience"
You can't roster 2 legit, proven starting CFL QBs. You are always going to have a QB2 and QB3 that are either unproven, or proven not worth starting pay.
I want us to find the "next" one. Is it going to be Perkins or Thorne? More likely that it being Masoli or MBT.
Does Wilson make the next step?
Is it Elgersma? Fingers crossed we get to see.
Walters, Oshea, Condell all have been in this league long enough to know all the QB's with CFL experience that are out there, and what they can bring. If we have nothing but duds in camp and preseason, there will be QBs with "CFL experience" on couches looking for a gig.
We can take that step then if needed, not before.
EDIT:
Just an interesting note: MBT's Wiki page has the teams he's played for
San Jose SaberCats (2011)
San Francisco 49ers (2011)*
Sacramento Mountain Lions (2011)
Miami Dolphins (2011)*
Minnesota Vikings (2012–2013)
San Francisco 49ers (2013)
New England Patriots (2014)*
Minnesota Vikings (2014)*
Miami Dolphins (2014–2015)*
San Francisco 49ers (2015)*
Philadelphia Eagles (2016)*
Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2016)*
Toronto Argonauts (2017–2019, 2021–2022)
New Orleans Breakers (2023)
Edmonton Elks (2024)
Montreal Alouettes (2025)
* Offseason and/or practice squad member only
The weird line in his Wiki page I didn't know was he played in the "Spring league" (not listed above) for the Aviators and: "While the Aviators under Bethel-Thompson earned a championship appearance, he declined to attend the game to prepare for "opportunities in more sustainable leagues with more resources available to the players." He quit on the team IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP to "prepare" for a better opportunity. Sure, a minor league that had its season shut down because of COVID, but still... if their money was good enough for you to take until then, you go to the championship game.

Now we can talk about the legendary warrior he was in 2019 and the fur coat and all that jazz for the rest of our lives.

Last post by Blueforlife - March 25, 2026, 01:49:12 AMWish Strev the best of luck in the next chapter of his career. Proud of what he did here and down South. Not easy playing pro ball, let alone QB.

Last post by Blueforlife - March 24, 2026, 11:01:51 PMWe will live or die with Zach another year and his success will come on the back of our OL. Hopefully our other QBs get some reps and next year we will have to consider brining in a vet or two. If the OL gels early we will be fine.

Last post by Blue In BC - March 24, 2026, 09:47:54 PMQuote from: Pigskin on March 24, 2026, 09:38:56 PMJones: 4.72/40, and 25 reps on the bench press. If he can pickup the blocking quickly he be a weapon.
Either way I'm not sure he'll be a high draft pick by any team. He probably gets drafted but maybe 4th or 5th round if he draws interest?

Last post by Blue In BC - March 24, 2026, 09:46:16 PMQuote from: Pigskin on March 24, 2026, 09:42:24 PMI am not all that happy with our QB room at this point. It's ZC8 and bunch of ?? Love to have a backup with some CFL experience going into TC.
None of us are happy about that. I'm not sure what we can do and have it make sense financially as well as practically.
I'm not a fan of Masoli or MBT but they have the ability to win on a good team.
Fingers are really crossed hoping that Perkins and Thorne show well.
