Big deal - talk is cheap; and CFL GOBs love to pay lip-service to the notion of Canadian talent being important to them. Let's see Maciocia put his money where his mouth is on that one. Ever wonder why Hugo Richard bailed on the Als after one season on their PR and just after Maciocia took over (sure to accept a good job offer, but I'd bet that could have been postponed if he thought he would get a serious shot there) ?
You obviously have way more faith than me of the notion of CFL GOBs all of a sudden paying attention to Canadian trained QBs; I, OTOH, need real evidence from TC fields. Adam Sinagra with ZERO CFL shot after their Scouting Bureau had him in the top 20, spoke volumes - just a few years ago. The writing continues to be on the wall. Do you figure we will see prominent articles from 3 Down on all these very good U Sports QB talents leading up to the CFL draft? or will they and other CFL "reporters" be good boys and stay quiet with little to no questions on the issue ?

I think we will see more articles on 3 Down supporting Canadian QBs being drafted in the CFL. Dunk is a big supporter of Elgersma. He's written about how NFL teams have been asking for tape on Elgersma. We will have to see what happens in the coming weeks.
Anyway, I think everyone on this thread hopes that there will be more Canadian QBs in the CFL next season. Some of us may be over enthusiastic (like me) and others like OV Argo might be the most realistic. I too, and Sinagra, were disappointed he didn't get a chance. Anyway, we know at least two Canadian QBs will be playing in the CFL next year; Nathan Rourke and Tre Ford.
Dunk's interview of Elgersma from a few months back:

You might be right that more, or at least some of us Canadian football fans would like to see more Canadian QBs get to play, or at least even try-out, in the CFL.
I also believe guys like me & you are in a real minority having much interest in the topic. And, IMO, a lot of CFL fans are just not comfortable with the subject. That's why I asked about 3 Down and other CFL media reporters delving into the story there - I believe most of them are afraid of the topic (several QBs at CFL Combine last year and none got CFL TC invites even - and I saw next to no questions asked there)
Again, we shall see come next CFL TC time.

I guess he's a shoe-in to win that Cornish Award as best Canadian US college ball player.
There is a decent crop of Canadians playing US college ball up for next CFL draft - most of the Scouting Bureau's top 20.
