For Wilson to not get cut, he has to have improved over previous seasons.

SY might actually be out of the QB conversation, I would not be surprised if DD73 doesn't end up running SY offence.  They have him doing everything else.

Perkins isn't here to read defences day one in a new league.  He's here because he has the tools and has shown the ability to compete at a top level, and has experience.  He could read UFL and NFL D, he will get a break on reading CFL D fully in week one.  But he will need to show he has the ability to understand the concepts Condell is using, and the way CFL D is deployed.  Reading that D instinctively is something that will take time, for sure, but he won't accomplish that on the PR or being cut.  His ceiling and his ability to progress early can be enough to surpass Wilson.

Elgersma is on the team, as QB2 or QB3.  His upside and passport are too tasty to let him just leave.

So hile there are 2 QB positions open, Wilson has to show that he's a leg up on Perkins if he wants to stay.

agree, if he hasnt gotten better then basically we've seen his limit which isn't great, at least the other two have room to grow. As far as Perkins he seems a lot like Streveler with a average arm, but great wheels and instincts when to run

Another thing that seems to have been made clear, we've seen the same guys in during every 1st team session. Eli getting all the first team reps at centre. McGhee getting all the corner snaps.

It's early, but so far it seems as if the positional battles were decided before camp started.

Yeah when OShea starts talking about a guy(mcphee) in terms of how he likes his effort and how great a shape hes in, its almost game over He wil always go with the vet until theres almost no choice I do agree that a rookie has to earn his way onto roster but they do need the chance

I understand the track record but I'll keep an open mind for now. I think we'll see more movement as we get closer to the games and then coming out of them.

On the offensive line, it's hard to ask too much of new American players in the first week or so. They're still learning the yard off the ball complication and the CFL is still a pretty good sized jump from college programs (even good ones).

Boundary corner is plug and play to the US game but field corner is not. It's a bit of a ramp to get your head around how that spot works compared to what Americans are used to.

I think the approach is going to be a bit different compared to past years even if the first week or so is largely status quo.

I hope that's not the case. We've seen that before.

It is common for teams to have multiple players wearing the same numbers at training camp. It is usually one player on offence and the other on defence.

Thanks!

Having Kramdl in at safety is worrisome. Safeties have 3 main assets
1. Read offenses well
2. Makes receivers pay physically
3. Have some ball hawk in them
I'm not sure Kramdl would be anything other than mediocre, while Allen has the potential to excell

Allen will likely get a fair shot at it.  Kramdi isn't suited for safety agree but he can read an offense.  Agree with other two points.  I think Allen will progress this year but also will struggle as he learns which is likely one of the best ways to do it.

Well written post.

I like Canadian players because they're Canadian could have been your reply and would have saved a lot of time. We know. It's also in my post. People like him because he's Canadian playing a non traditional Canadian spot. Yes.

Not as simple as you suggest.  You are making a lot of assumptions about how people value and view Kradmi.  I liked him from the start as a football player, his passport was just bonus offer.  I am here to share my viewpoint and I'm not here to save any time and yes I'm long winded and always will be.  The reality is there is more variety in why people like Kramdi then you suggest imo.

You have tried to now over generlize / simplify my opinion of Canadian players, which isn't accurate.  My opinion of players regardless of their passport is generally based on their abilities but I do love to root for the underdog at times.

I have strongly supported Canadian ratio, which for many is one of the pillars of this great league.  Nice that someone liked my original reply which shows some support for my post and viewpoint.

We have completly different viewpoints on Canadian talent which is ok.
