Rebuild isn't really a thing in the cfl with the number of players on one year contracts.
Theres really two things that this or any team needs:
A decent qb... if we continue to tank we absolutely need to see what Elgersma is capable of
B a good oline. Sask turnaround happened when they went after key pieces in the oline
Elks also invested heavily here. (you could easily argue the biggest reason for our downturn is reflected in the quality of our o line and the lack of succession planning here, not drafting effecively hasnt helped)
Most other areas you can find talent thru nfl cuts etc

Elgs is capable of absolutely nothing right now.  And there's a 50/50 chance we'll get a great illustration of that in 2 weeks!!

The question really is, can Elgs do something in 2-3 seasons.  That remains to be seen.  Rourke & Alexander had to wait 2-3 seasons before starting too.
Never go full Johnston!

Starting a rookie behind a suspect OL isn't really the best way to see what he's capable of. He's perfectly fine just where he is. Maybe he gets the last start of the season to get his feet wet.
My wife is amazing!

1000% correct, there are no good players waiting by the phone to be brought in to correct what ails us. We are stuck with what we have for the rest of this season then we can blow it up and rebuild. Our current team will be last in the west and there is nothing we can realistically do about it, except make cosmetic changes with the players we have here now.
