2026 Rookie Training Camp

[Blue In BC]

Ya, but I forgot once again... needs to be an IMP to make use of Elgersma's ratio bonus.  So basically we can't use that at all until Elgersma is our actual starter.

It's funny, for like 3-4 seasons now we almost never need "ratio help".  It's just the way Mafia has structured our team.  But if Elgersma is our known/planned starter in, say, 2028, KW can work that into the plan and make sure we have some extra quality IMPs.

QB's are a separate category. Having a Canadian QB as a starter doesn't change the number of imports on the roster. It just gives a different player comprising the mandatory minimum or more of Canadians starting.

So advantage is very limited at best. It's more of a nationalistic advantage.

That's what I meant.  A starting NAT QB means you can instantly dress an extra IMP OL, for example: a la BC.  No advantage on the AR, but definite advantage on the field -- IF you have a GM who prioritizes IMP-over-NAT talent (i.e. not KW -- yet).

If you couldn't start an import OL when you didn't have a Canadian QB, then having one won't help or change that math.

It does not mean you dress another import. Which part of the ratio and the maximum number of imports are you missing?

The Bombers may start 3 import OL. If Elgersma starts game 1 due to an injury it won't change that decision on how the roster is put together. The cost of starting a 3rd import OL at the moment is the trade off of starting 3 Canadian receivers.

In your example we might start that 3rd import OL and 2 Canadian receivers if we start a Canadian QB.

You have to start a minimum of Canadians. Where you start imports is a choice. In theory you could start a 5 import OL by starting other Canadians elsewhere.
