November 15, 20222 yr comment_609735 Can someone please explain to me how the Stamps can have 8 CFL All Stars & the Bombers 6??? They didn't beat the Lions or the Bombers during the regular season & lost the WDSF to the Lions... I don't get it.

November 15, 20222 yr comment_609757 So playing devil's advocate on this Canadian player discussion, if you had a chance to play U Sports or NCAA D1 (even say a smaller D1 school such as UND), which would you take?

November 15, 20222 yr Author comment_609771 Nobody ever denied that you shouldn't take the NCAA route. The only thing that's been said is, if everyone's going to go crazy about "First Canadian QB To __________" and wet their pants about it, it should at least be about a QB that's played his entire "career" north of the border. Only played 3 down football his entire life. Otherwise, you're just another generic American recruit.

I don't think we'd call them generic American recruits. I think your hate for Rourke is a little strong today. He's gone! Bad man gone!

BC plays 4 down football and SFU where he went was in the NAIA at the time and played four down football. He didn't play 3 down until he came to Winnipeg in 2001. Brady O went to UND so that would also make him not a Canadian. I disagree with your definition of a Canadian in this context.

Both of your examples played HS ball here and Brown played his college years in Canada.
November 15, 20222 yr comment_609780 So you feel the same way about Olivera than you Rourke? Just now, JCon said: Both of your examples played HS ball here and Brown played his college years in Canada. Rourke only played one year of high school at a prep school in the states.

Add to the list: Dobson - Texas State BOLO - Nevada Patrice Rene - Rutgers And don't get me started on Wolitarsky!
November 15, 20222 yr Author comment_609785 I think you're all missing the point..... I'm not shitting on Candians who played in the States. The point is that we had Rourke shoved down our throats as "Kid Canada" all season for all these things he supposedly did as a Canadian QB. The way TSN spun it (ad nauseum) was as if he was a Canadian who'd come through the Canadian HS and CIS ranks and into the CFL. All the other players that have been mentioned recently in this thread weren't jammed down our throats as incredible Canadians doing something that nobody'd ever done before. That's really where my issue comes in. If Rourke had played entirely 3 down football his whole life and was still doing the things he did, and TSN wanted to freak out about it, I would have no problem.

November 15, 20222 yr comment_609786 It's a very Canadian trait to crap on Canadians who have made good. Rourke has nothing to do with the hype machine and by all accounts is a grounded, classy athlete (also Canadian traits). I really don't understand the hate. He was a good story in a league that needs good stories.

November 16, 20222 yr comment_609800 Rourke will make more on the PR in the NFL than coming back to the CFL next year.

No he wont...that's already been debunked numerous times...with max PR weeks he would make with exchange about 280k..plus or minus a few hundred depending on the exchange...so how is that more than 450 to 600k in canada...please explain Same with it been reported in press numerous times..and again today that if he was to play next yr up here...it would be top flight QB money...arguing again just to argue I see
