    Shopping for 3rd string QB, any suggestions?

    He'd have to clear waivers first before they could put him on their PS. Somehow, I think someone else would/will claim him... Seattle's only number 20 on the waiver wire list, so the 'Hawks are probably SOL there.

    He was widely reported as having received multiple offers, but what appears to have helped sell it was a former CFL connection — Henry Burris. Learning under Doug Pederson’s not too bad either. Making a move to a team on the rise.

    Rourke just signed with the Jags.

    Rourke’s now on his NFL 2022 Tour: Jags, Raiders, Broncos, Vikings, Eagles, Cards, Colts, Bucs, Bengals and Chiefs have all had him in to work out. Curiously, nothing being reported about Seattle. Only thing I can surmise is that they’ve either already talked, or someone’s asleep at the wheel.

    Don’t know with certainty, but TSN is reporting more than 24 teams have expressed interest, so I’d say the odds are good that they’ll ask him to work out.

    To be fair, the 2nd pick wasn’t his fault. Cottoy just stopped running his route for some reason. But yeah… Rourke sometimes fails to see the robber on certain plays. A couple teams now have schemed him by dropping DEs back on delay zone cover, and burned him.

    I was pointing out the long history of the CFL feeding the NFL at times. And yes, Printers washed out with KC - but putting him in the same conversation with Rourke is, well… I’ll put it as “incongruous”. Look up Printers’ stats and compare with Rourke — not even close. All I’m saying is...

    [Rourke discussion at 11:32]. Two analysts, one from TSN, and neither from the BC Lions’ home market with their perspective on Rourke, CFL, NFL and what the future holds.

    Ok…. Let’s put your assumptions aside, shall we? I’ve lived in Vancouver my entire life, and have been watching CFL and NFL for 50+ years. I don’t need a CFL 101 from anyone, thanks. You haven’t seen this guy play, yet you’re passing judgements?? Of course the passing numbers are greater in...

    Tonight vs Calgary, Rourke was 39 of 52 passing, for 488 yards, engineering an 86-yard drive for the game-winning FG with :02 left in a 41-40 game. Dan Fouts is jealous!😀

    Seahawks QB1 (34th best qb in the league???)

    Times like these, I break out Second Season football and let Dave Kreig remind me of happier days — like when Largent smoked Mike Harden…

    Aint dat da truth? Of course I don’t know the exact figure, but it he’s on a standard rookie deal, it’s a CAD $65,000 base salary, and I’m sure some performance incentives in there for maybe another 10-15k. That’s it. Dude almost needs a second job here in Vancouver just to cover expenses.

    Largely a function of the wider CFL field, I would think. BC doesn’t run alot of drags, or middle screens. Jevon Cottoy’s built like a prototypical TE, but he’s not often a primary.

    That’s correct. He’s on a 2 + option, but can exit his SPC at the end of the current season (Lions would retain his CFL rights).

    You mean the league that Cam Wake, Doug Flutie, Mervyn Fernandez, Warren Moon, Joe Theismsmann, Andre Rison, and more came out of? Yeah, I’ve heard of it…
