BC Lions / Nathan Rourke discussion

[Blue In BC]

All of this could influence the 2023 draft as teams start looking at other Canadian QB's. Now that we've gone back to 3 QB's on a roster, teams can re-consider giving a Canadian QB a more serious view.  I don't know which QB's might be eligible in 2023 or beyond but interest level may be going up.

It's good for the CFL.

Will be great to follow this as I know many on here follow the draft closely.

Their is one at Penn St who might win the starting job there.

Nathan's brother at Ohio University.  Plus they recruited another Canadian QB.

Plus many other USPORTS QBs

I wouldn't count him available just yet.

[Pigskin]

We already beat BC in BC with Rourke as QB. We get him here on a cool to cold day with IG field sold out. The kid will have some problems.

[3rdand1.5]

The emotional boost to BC if he came back would be huge!

Next week I expect bad VAJ to emerge, and I believe that we can clinch first next week, if they lose and we win??

Bigger concern for BC is if Burnham and Lucky are long term, couple that with Rourke out and that is some serious talent out for them!

Rourke is back at practice.  Video of him throwing...not running though

[The Zipp]

Sounds like he will be back for playoffs...

50/50

How is he performs is another. Home field needed for Rourkes sake if possible.

Lions will have to play in Winnipeg if they win the WSF at home against the Stamps.

There is still a possibility that the Lions finish 3rd. If they lose their last 2 games and the Stamps win their last 2 games then the Lions finish 3rd.

I can't see that happening but it's not a done deal yet.

He still has pain in his foot. So, if you can't run, you're a dead duck. On a cool/cold day in Winnipeg, he would feel the pain a lot more.

AH33 running at Argo practice, doesn't mean his upper body has healed enough to play in a game.

[TBURGESS]

Rourke can't run yet. He needs to be able to do that before he can start.
