A great year for new blood for pivots in the CFL. Three new stars in Evans, Fajardo and Adams Jr. . Add the already established Reilly, Harris, Collaros, and BLM. That’s a solid core.
So…what happens to Masolli and Nichols?
Are Bethel Thomson, arbuckle, and Streveler the real deal?
Are Franklin, Davis, Pipkin, Jennings, and Bridge done?
If teams can keep a third QB who’s a National, Bridge will still be in the league. Otherwise, I don’t think he will.
I think Pipkin stays in Montreal.
As for the others . . . I’m thinking Franklin catches on as a backup somewhere, but with only two QBs allowed to dress in 2020, I think the other guys might well be done.
I predicted all 5 to be at least done with their current teams.
Brandon Bridge. Idk if any team under any coaches would even think to look at him at all.
I guess because of his size. He became THE Guy to be the First Canadian QB. To be the first starter for a length of time and potentially even become a long time QB in the league to sustain a long carrier as a 1 or 2.
Where its been proven now that CFL or NFL ur gona need 2 QBs to get thru a season.
The first 4 I can see another team or that has a HC or OC with them giving them a look and into a training camp.
There are still young and they have all done some good things in the short windows they had.
So the question for those 4 is were they Victims of some bad circumstances or they just dont have it.
Which is much different than Bridge. Who has gotten several larger windows good & Bad circumstances.
It may to time for the CFL to move on from Bridge.
Maybe he should give the XFL or IFL a chance.
To pigtail off this post.
Its time to give some other Canadian QBs a legit chance.
O’Connor got thru the year on the 46.
Hugo Richard got thru the entire season Mostly on the PR.
Next up Chris Merchant IMO.
I will assume you are either young or a new-ish CFL fan … it has been some years but in 1980 Gerry Dattilio won the CFL’s Most Outstanding Canadian Award and was the eastern nominee for the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player Award … he lost his job the next year when one-year owner nelson Skalbania signed Vince Ferragamo …he had a couple more years as a starter … who knows what would have happened if his success had not been interrupted … going further back there were a couple of guys Russ Jackson and Ron Lancaster (albeit a naturalized Canadian) who had a smidge of success.
No disrespect to The Great Canadian QBs in the past. But refering to this point here Jerry Dattilio was the last in the early 80’s.
Thats a signifigant stretch to the mostvrecent in Bridge
Oh yeah. We all know that. It was your reference to Bridge as the ‘first’ - without adding ‘in a long time’ - that made some of us old guys spit the soup out of our mouths when reading. ?
