September 1, 201410 yr comment_78434 Signed to the Ottawa Redblacks practice roster. Max Hall must be turning down CFL job offers.
September 1, 201410 yr comment_78436 Signed to the Ottawa Redblacks practice roster. Max Hall must be turning down CFL job offers. Still trying to dial the phone with his noodle arm.
September 1, 201410 yr comment_78442 I was just thinking last night that I can't fathom Brink still being employed while Elliot isn't. Maybe we'll see him start a few games this year.
September 1, 201410 yr comment_78474 Signed to RedBlacks practice roster... only a matter of time before he's the starter! Look for two POTW awards to be taken up up by Joey!
September 2, 201410 yr comment_78610 Quite pathetic. You think Desjardins would be able to find a younger more promising QB to put on his Practice Roster but apparently this isn't the case.
September 2, 201410 yr Author comment_78623 Likely wanted to have another CFL experienced guy in case Burris gets injured. With DeMarco out for the year they didn't have that anymore.
September 2, 201410 yr comment_78634 They must know Joey is moody and somewhat egomaniacal - a perfect fit to work behind Burris!
September 2, 201410 yr comment_78635 Quite pathetic. You think Desjardins would be able to find a younger more promising QB to put on his Practice Roster but apparently this isn't the case. This isn't a development move, this is about getting someone with some experience as your backup since your actual backup is on the IR for the season. Surprised he went with Elliott over Hall since Hall more recently had played but you had to think a move like this was coming.
September 2, 201410 yr comment_78648 Ottawa needed some CFL experience at backup QB. Personally, I think Elliott's better than Hall.
September 2, 201410 yr comment_78687 I think he's better too, but Hall at least got some starts last year and went through training camp with the Bombers. Did Elliott even get to a training camp this year?

September 2, 201410 yr comment_78711 Those critical of this move should ask themselves, what does Winnipeg do if Willy goes down for the remainder if the season?
September 2, 201410 yr comment_78725 Those critical of this move should ask themselves, what does Winnipeg do if Willy goes down for the remainder if the season? Start Brohm or Marve ? Personally I think this is a lazy move by Ottawa (O'Brien and Carder could use some reps, you know to actually develop). One of my only issues with the CFL for years has been how some players only stick around due to their experience within the league.

One of my only issues with the CFL for years has been how some players only stick around due to their experience within the league. Rookie QB's don't need that kind of learning experience. Ottawa has to get some victories on the chart or the fan-base will turn off.
September 2, 201410 yr comment_78730 Players like Banks and Kuale ? Most HCs want the sense of comfort and security afforded by experiences players especially at the QB spot. It doesn't always work out but it seems to be the most common practice

One of my only issues with the CFL for years has been how some players only stick around due to their experience within the league. Rookie QB's don't need that kind of learning experience. Ottawa has to get some victories on the chart or the fan-base will turn off. Does Elliott guarantee them anymore wins though ? and realistically is he even better than O'Brien or Carder ? Therein lies the issue for me. Players like Banks and Kuale ? Most HCs want the sense of comfort and security afforded by experiences players especially at the QB spot. It doesn't always work out but it seems to be the most common practice Way too common IMO.

One of my only issues with the CFL for years has been how some players only stick around due to their experience within the league. There have been a whole pile of qbs who were thrown into the fire too early and been ruined as prospects because of it. Not everyone is a Ricky Ray who can come in immediately and start. Most of them need time to learn before they're ready to take over.

The NFL is littered with experienced guys who keep finding work.
