May 15, 201510 yr comment_119566 Id like to see this guy stick for many reasons.. Local boy, actually has some decent skills, athletic enough to be a "gimmick" guy and would be cool to be one of the few to show willingness to give a canadian QB. Chance.. He's from Regina... which last I checked doesn't qualify as local... also he has the skill to be an actual QB not just a gimmick guy like like we had a few years ago... what was that guy's name, Rustin Doltz? Are you being grumpy or just a bit hungry? Maybe you should have a candy bar.
May 15, 201510 yr Author comment_119573 Yantz can throw the ball on a rope 40 yards with great accuracy ... possibly the best arm in camp .... could be the next Russ Jackson .... he is also an elusive QB with good feet Little known is he is a decent punter... defenses cannot play loose when he is punting cause he will burn them with his passing ability ... at least a backup punter special fake guy ... think higher than Bob Cameron: could be a starting QB in 3 years:
May 15, 201510 yr comment_119596 I really wish the league would just go 22 Canadians and 22 "Internationals". Then 2 internationals on the reserve and 12 pr players (8 Int and 4 Canadians). C'est la vie.
May 15, 201510 yr comment_119599 Hope we can develop him and put together a package to take care of his skills. As for NI QBs, why not an extra PR spot for them?

May 15, 201510 yr comment_119651 @CFL_News: Brendan Taman said #Riders tried to put @Yantz16 on their neg list but were beat to the punch by #Bombers. #CFL via @HomeOfTheFans Just think, if he hadn't had that steak and cheese sub toasted...

He really needed that footlong before working on the Riders neg list.
May 16, 201510 yr comment_119701 They brought Yantz in last year and he didn't look out of place as a QB. I think he might surprise some people.
May 16, 201510 yr comment_119706 Sooner or later a canuck will start . It's bound to happen one day.Could it be Yantz, you never know but at least the Bombers have given him that shot, albiet a long one.I didn't know about the punting bit.Interesting info.
May 19, 201510 yr comment_119861 Just my take Know there has been a lot of talk about this issue since the draft, first off as a person who played in the cis and now coach I love the opportunity these kids are getting in the league but I think we are still 5 to 7 years away from a legit kid who could start in the league. The reason why I think this is the lack of reps/coaching the Canadian kids gets growing up from the High school range especially. It is getting better tho especially in the coaching ranks but most QB don’t get a quality QB coach until they hit the Jr or CIS . Some high schools have great qb coaches but they are far and few between. The biggest reason which is starting pick up steam finally for Canadian kids is the 7 on 7 game. If you don’t know 7-on-7 football is a program that many high schools and middle schools run during the off-season. 7-on-7 is played without pads and receivers are downed by one-hand touch (there are no flags involved). 7-on-7 is also a passing only game - there are no offensive rushing plays and defenders cannot rush the quarterback. These kids are getting so many more reps all year. RR just started last year playing with a traveling team. Been really run in States since 1998. This is such a great tool to develop young qbs and get them a ton of reps.

May 19, 201510 yr comment_119867 They brought Yantz in last year and he didn't look out of place as a QB. I think he might surprise some people. At camp in 2013 I woulda ranked him 2nd behind only Buck... Buck, Yantz, Hall, Goltz, Chase something (I forget the guy's name) ... then again, there wasn't much to be excited about that year...

May 19, 201510 yr comment_120027 Kirk Penton @PentonKirk #Bombers have signed former #Bisons QB Jordan Yantz. #CFL
May 19, 201510 yr comment_120033 Penton tells me it might not be a 3 year deal anymore as there was a "glitch" in the negotiations caused by his agent. Penton expects Yantz to develop on the PR this year.

Not sure which of these buttons will allow me to go back up and make the appropriate changes. "Num Lock"? Is that it? I've only had this computer for 6 months. I'll keep looking. Might have to call tech support. I'd hate to leave something so needlessly inflammatory up there for no reason.
