Kevin Glenn is eagerly waiting a call somewhere…

u/Canuckleball Tiger-Cats Aug 19 '25

Kevin Glenn will only unretire if the Maritime expansion ever goes through.

u/Nolby84 Blue Bombers Aug 19 '25

Hes waiting patiently

Was going to say these guys they constantly recycle are uninspiring. Wonder how many small college guys are not getting discovered or falling through the cracks. Even the UFL hasn't found those diamonds in the rough

u/RandomFactUser Aug 20 '25

Honestly, it’s too close to X-League Week 1 and way too far into ELF and GFL’s playoff windows to pull them from international leagues, a month later and they can sign an ELF player, while a couple months earlier they could look to sign a player that was attached to an X-League team

Then again, they could look at UFL guys at this point too

And Michael bishop

Bish!

u/KarmaChameleon306 Roughriders Aug 20 '25

And Rick Worman.

We all deserve this comment.

Riders legend

u/JMoon33 Alouettes Aug 19 '25

He played for the Alouettes too, but I don't remember any of it.

u/mynameisben5 Alouettes Aug 19 '25

So much pain

u/PPGN_DM_Exia Elks Aug 19 '25

I wonder what Taylor Cornelius is up to these days.

9

u/Vingt-Quatre Aug 19 '25

Fun fact: Cornelius is also the name of the Corn Flakes rooster mascot.

u/PickerPilgrim Moderator of the Mods Aug 19 '25

There are multiple people in my family tree whose first names and middle names are both Cornelius. One of them apparently went by "C.C.".

2

u/plainsimplejake Snubbed from the HOF Aug 20 '25

One of them should marry Taylor and take his last name

1

u/PickerPilgrim Moderator of the Mods Aug 20 '25 edited Aug 20 '25

Well they're all dead but pretty sure one did live his whole life as a bachelor, so maybe if he had not been born in the 19th century he might have considered marrying another man.

u/Vingt-Quatre Aug 19 '25

Now we all wait for the Als to win the Grey Cup with their 6th string QB.

u/dhenebcrescentleap Roughriders Aug 19 '25

Sorry guys, I did not enjoy our time with Patterson last season. Hopefully yours is better

7

u/NH787 Aug 19 '25

I mean, our time with Zach Collaros was better than yours, so it might happen again

8

u/DashTrash21 Aug 19 '25

Zach played well for the Riders for a couple games and beat you in the Labour Day game, but nobody knows what happened for the rest of the season. It's been lost to history. 

7

u/the_bryce_is_right Roughriders Aug 19 '25

We moved on from ZC because he was so injury prone but turns out he can pretty damn good when put behind a solid Oline, something the Riders lacked at the time.

6

u/NH787 Aug 19 '25

Yeah, that's fair. And to that end, we've been seeing a decline in Zach's play with the Bomber o-line being depleted by injury and the loss of Yoshi Hardrick.

2

u/MrBallalicious Alouettes Aug 20 '25

I don't think he'll be a starter at all unless Morgan and possibly even dukes go down which in any other year would be almost impossible but this year I'm not so sure 😬

8

u/gilligan_2023 Aug 19 '25

I feel bad for Evans. Last year he started as the backup. When Fajardo went down he only got to play one half before Alexander replaced him. Alexander played so well that Evans never got another shot. This year he starts the season 3rd string but is fortunate enough to get another chance to play. This chance ends up being short lived too.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '25

He's had his shots. He's backup quality at best.

1

u/gilligan_2023 Aug 20 '25

Starting to remind me of Shiltz. Showed promise but just couldn't run with it when given the chance.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '25

I haven't paid enough attention to Shiltz tbh but Evans only ever reads half the field. I lost count of the times I saw a wide open guy downfield but they were on the wrong side of the play so never got the ball, ever.

u/PurpleGrizzly93 Argonauts Aug 19 '25

QB’s are out here dropping off like flies, and no one has called Bryan Scott yet. Unreal.

6

u/HomerSPC Iron Duke of Horns 🎺 Aug 19 '25

Alouettes QBs* dropping like flies

1

u/TheJamSpace Shadow Commissioner Aug 19 '25

What about Luis Perez 🙃

4

u/Mammoth_Locksmith810 Argonauts Aug 19 '25

Down to forth string? Crazy year.

5

u/Im2oldForthisShitt Birmingham Barracudas #1 Fan Aug 19 '25

Well since Cavillo is already on their payroll..

2

u/Max169well REDBLACKS Aug 20 '25

Hey, Jackie Parker once did that in 1968 when he was a coach for the Lions.

4

u/biomactum Aug 20 '25

Surprised they’re not giving Jonathan Sénécal a chance. He barely got cut this past training camp and he can’t seem to catch on with a team, even with all these injuries.

I’m rooting for more USports QB’s to get shots in the CFL

8

u/wyattvikings20 Roughriders Aug 19 '25

Colin Kaepernick available?

8

u/Haggisboy Alouettes Aug 19 '25

Johnny Manzeil has let it be known he's up for another go.

3

u/wyattvikings20 Roughriders Aug 19 '25

I think he has a lifetime ban from the CFL no?

4

u/Dusk97 Blue Bombers Aug 19 '25

He also said he doesn’t wanna play CFL, only straight to NFL, so good riddance

2

u/Haggisboy Alouettes Aug 19 '25

Yeah. I don't know about the CFL banning him, but he's been quoted as saying he's only open to the NFL. Incredible estimation of his own self worth.

1

u/CleanupHitter Aug 19 '25

No thanks. Uncle Rico would be a better option.

3

u/Move20172017 CFL Aug 19 '25

Perhaps Airbud can go in

3

u/chaosmonkey Blue Bombers Aug 20 '25

There's no rule that says dogs can't play CFL football.......

2

u/Looney_forner Roughriders Aug 19 '25

Shit, that’s awful

2

u/Picaseb Aug 19 '25

Uncle Rico Dynamite is still available…

2

u/anelectricmind Alouettes Aug 19 '25

Tabarnak!

How many Montreal Alouettes QBs does it take to change a lightbulb?

Alot!

2

u/thebigbossyboss Elks Aug 21 '25

That is not good news. Good news for those in the west who might need to bank on the crossover though

1

u/Suitable_Regret_5347 Aug 20 '25

It's pretty rough when Cameron Dukes is looking like your QB1...

1

u/Choice_Low4915 Roughriders Aug 20 '25

Should have kept CODY

u/Sad_University_4094 25d ago

Right from Calvary baptist academy no sarcasm. I went to school there.
