Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Who’s cutting onions, CFL legend retires.

But he had one of the best NFL preseasons of all time! One of the best!!!

Shocking that a QB with his elite arm talent didn’t stick down south!

They appear to be reloading not rebuilding. Hopefully Taylor Elgersma gets there by spring. If he goes the UFL route instead of CFL he needs to give his head a shake.

Disagree; if Elgersma has NFL as his main goal, he's better off playing in the UFL - where NFL super QB experts might look at some of the play; they have zero interest in CFL QBs now; plus Elgersma would have a hard time getting to play in the CFL anyways, just because of his passport.

OV, I suggest you read Ravi's post on the UFL thread regarding Elgersma.

Already did; are you saying Elgersma is never going to be able to get a work permit to play down there? IF so, then it was a big mistake obviously, but surely he could just leave and report to the Bombers ? And again, I'd bet he has as good or better a chance to play down there than with the Bombers - who have signed 2 new big resume American QBs to go with their already experienced back-up (Wilson) = Elgersma is going to be at the bottom of that depth chart - just because of his passport and I don't give a rat'$ @$$ if Walters & O'Shea are the biggest flag waving Canadians in the land - they work in and accept the CFL "system".

Winnipeg signs Canadian QB Taylor Elgersma.

Great news. There are now 3 legit Canadian QBs in the Canadian Football League. If Elgersma puts a pre season together like he did in Green Bay, he should secure back up spot to Aurora's favorite son Zach Collaros. Taylor earned that final QB spot in Green Bay last year.

Sounds like Adam Bighill is officially retiring. Classy thing to do by Bombers to sign him to one day contract.

I always thought he was a really really Good player... he also put some visability on kids / people with Cleft Lips...

not many comments recently on the Bombers, so I will try one on.
After 10 games 5and5, but man they had the Elks on the ropes and let them off the hook. I know these Elks are very good, but they were having an off-nite, yet they still pulled it out.
Oliveira remains a stud, but the Bombers D seems weaker this year to me, but coach O is a winner, so who knows???

They are an odd team. They feel like a weaker 5-5 team than the Argos and also a team on the decline.

Yeah, I'm not ranking them ahead of the Argos in power rankings for this week.
