 the first time that I've seen him looking like a starting level MLB.

Which means absolutely Jack squat... What you (or ANY of us) know about playing CFL MLB wouldn't fill a thimble...

what looks like a starting level MLB and what actually constitutes one could very well be 2 vastly different things tho, you realize, right?  I have a hard time believing all these coaches, DCs and GMs who had him slotted into a starting MLB rotation would be  wrong and you'd be right..

And you realize that these are mostly the same people who saw Kuale as a viable middle linebacker?

i know the riders who were low on NI talent didnt miss him and he was demoted from starting mlb and not given a look last year despite awful front 7 play.

O'Shea and Walters are the only coach/GM who have seen Hurl as a starting MLB and they also saw Kuale as a starting MLB. 

Just because a coach makes a decision does not mean its automatically 'right'...  I'm sure Osh and others gamble on players 'rising to the occasion' - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
