2026 Rookie Training Camp

Some really good info and opinions here, I tough but good spot to be in.  The trouble with pre season is that it does show a lot but its also such a different beast than regular.  We shall see how these next gen Qbs fair and will only know more once they get some meaningful live regular season reps.  I hope we are patient in developing our next QB.  Having Zach mentor you is a dream come true imo.

Perkins or Thorne might but we don't usually do that with limited PR spots. Every other team has their own # 4 or # 5 that they have to deal with plus their neg list.

QB's cut after TC rarely land elsewhere unless they have som CFL experience. In the case of the Bombers that might be Wilson. OTOH, we might see our reserve list used as early insurance for Elgersma or Wilson.

It's depends on where they rank after TC and that's all guesswork at the moment. I guess the fate of Wilson decides the pecking order to some degree. He could end up anywhere from # 2 to released outright. I'm not dissing him but, if he isn't moving up then I suspect he's moving out.

i really think we need to start keeping a QB on the PR. Its the most important position on the team and you want your backup to the backup to the backup to be able to step in semi-comfidently

That's about the size of it. Wilson needs to move up to # 2 or move out to a QB with greater potential. Obviously we don't know much about Perkins or Thorne. Neither may make the roster in any way for all we know at the moment.

Keeping Wilson just as the SY QB is not valuable enough to do that IMO. Can he show progression? Perhaps. TBD.

Wilson isn't even that good of a SY QB. Elgersma should have that job, Perkins is QB2. Thorne should be PR'd, but he won't be (foolishly the team doesn't seem to want to use a PR spot on a QB).
