So cflisbest…you are saying no Canadian QB will be drafted this year.
I’ll take you up on this.
I’m saying that there will be a Canadian who played QB last year in a starting role will be drafted. You are saying no in the most definite manner. In fact you feel anyone who believes this is not knowlegeable at best.
I’ve read that you feel you should be in line for a CFL job sometime in the near future so you deserve to be confident in your predictions.
The loser of the bet cannot post until August 1st?
Are you on?
Be clear, stay focused. Are you takingthis bet? Simple yes or no…
just cause the media says all these good things.. one thing we forget is the decision is ultimately up to the GM.
are any of them going to use 1 of their draft picks to choose a player who's odds of doing anything for their team are lowest of anyone else available?
Yeah, but history doesn't mean crap. Let's say the Als have dropped 7 consecutive games in BC (I can't recall the actual number), that doesn't mean Montreal will never win in BC. That streak will eventually come to an end, just like the "streak" of never drafting a Canadian QB will. This could be the year that it happens.
there's all these talented players from Canada that actually play in positions that could be starters who are available.
why would they draft the guy when they could choose someone who has a much better chance at becoming a starter.. if not this year in a few seasons!!
Canadian QB's are not yet at that level.
this is all because Brannagan got a shot. ya Barker gave him a chance, yet whoever watched that game where he played a Quarter.. he wasn't exactly that impressive.
now everyone is beginning to think it's going to be an avalanche of Canadian QB's showing up?
I have my doubts. it doesn't just happen.
it takes time and generations of players to get there.
What history are you looking at? If we're talking about simply being drafted, he's got a real good shot.
