So in the last half year since they brought MBT in for a tryout, they've only found one QB prospect worthy of bringing in for TC??? I take it "turn over every rock" is not this scouting team's motto...

You won't get any experienced #2 CFL QB's for #3 money. Certainly not the top 2 or 3 prospects. Not on February 14. But if these guys are still unsigned in March and April, they are bound to re-assess how much they are willing to work for. Then the choice becomes do they want to continue a career in football or not.

How many qb's do you want to see? 4 is generally a pretty average amount that most teams have going into TC.
February 13, 20178 yr comment_248946 The Riders model of carrying Glenn + six 4th string QBs isn't one we need to emulate. They can keep looking under rocks; we'll look on the football field.

Also, just because they only bring 4, doesn't mean they only found 4 (which is kind of what Mike was getting at)......maybe they've uncovered 10 potential QBs Of The Future, and they're only bringing the best one in......

Wasn't all that impressed with the film on MBT, so I hope he's not penciled in as #3. This approach reminds me too much of "Year Two" when they stood pat with Brohm and a twice-broken Marve.

I'd love to see either of those guys in blue & gold I'd also rather have more than two QBs on the roster right now, but I can be patient... a bit surprised that the bombers let Bennett slip away before we really saw what he had Now bring in Greg Ward Jr and Seth Russell please

That's what the coaching staff does.

February 13, 20178 yr comment_249023 Just to confirm what others have said RE: Special Teams contribution.
February 13, 20178 yr comment_249027 Excellent news on Briggs...This guy will just continue to get better.

While it is true that there can be guys that look good in practice but meh on the field, it is not that often that a guy will look meh in practice but then go out there and tear it up on the field. If day after day, the Bombers were watching Bennett and decided that he wasn't, for whatever reason, what they were looking for, I'd tend to go with that.
February 13, 20178 yr comment_249048 Briggs is solid. Expect the Blue to focus mostly on depth, during the frenzy.....

I am not so sure the Blue rejected Bennett .... The Riders plucked him off our practice roster unexpectedly ... Personally I liked what I saw of him in preseason gaame
February 13, 20178 yr comment_249060 Bennett and Mayo ended in PR last season. So they are technically a freeagent.
