Blue Bombers add quarterback

I assume he'll still get a shot, but if Perkins can play, Wilson is an early cut imo.

That's a big if though.

It's not really a big "if". Perkins has the talent, both the NFL and UFL has seen it. Now whether or not he is a starter, that is a different question. But one thing we certainly have learned is Wilson is absolutely not a starter.

Perkins NFL stats. 19/34, 55.9%, 1TD, 2 Int.

His UFL stats. 6 Starts, 69%, 9 TDs, 2 Ints, 1342 yards, 8.5 avg.

If his NFL stats were better, he would be in the NFL still and he won UFL MVP. Stats don't always tell the full story.

It's a really big if. Just like all QBs coming in.

Many import QB's never get the Canadian game. 12 men, 3 downs, motion, bigger field and less time between plays etc.

I remember a rumour from years past, that I can't substantiate. Something along the lines of a rookie QB lasting a couple of practices and seeing all the difference saying " what the " and packed his bags and left.

Also remember QB's like Jim Zorn barely lasting one game in the CFL.

Anyway. I'm only hoping that Perkins can show something and not just get on the AR by default. That applies to the other QB's and TC will be telling.

That isn't enough experience to reveal anything either way, especially the NFL reps. he was probably shell shocked the entire time he was on the field.

Well, Elgersma's NFL combine experience is done. He wasn't invited to test on anything but he did throw passes to receivers at a few points.

Can't imagine that will be exciting to most teams but I guess we'll find out.

That sounds like an early exit. Do we know if he's reporting to his UFL team now? He was reported as listed on a roster but nothing showing he'd actually plan to attend TC etc.
