Hence why I suggested that if Bridge is drafted, it’ll be in the very late rounds. Even if the team doesn’t see him for 2-3 years (if ever!), it’s low-risk at best. It’s ironic that the NCAA is doing a better job of producing a Canadian-born QB than any of the CIS schools. If more Brandon Bridges are on the horizon, better believe that the ratio rules will change.

I wouldn’t be sad to see either of those fellas on the Alouettes, but OL are very prized and Montreal also has OLs waiting in the wings like Simon Legare and Ryan White. If Groulx doesn’t go to Ottawa or Winnipeg, I’ll be surrpised.

I will be surprised if Brandon Bridge gets a look, and this assessment is not completely based on talent. It’s a rules thing, if I understand my CFL regulations correctly. If the Nationalities of QBs counted towards the import ratio, then Mr. Bridge would likely be drafted this evening. Since they are not, there’s little reward/incentive for taking on a young Canadian QB for development purposes. This is a CBA issue, so it could change if the players or management want it to. Perhaps the author has a better grasp on the rules than I do, so please correct me if I am mistaken.

Here’s an assessment provided by former QB prospect and now Stampeders coach Marc Mueller:

Oh I can see where he was coming from at the time. A complete overall with Hawkins as HC I think he was right.
Just curious with Popp keeping him on the suspeded list then AC comes out and basically says he deserved a chance.
At that time in 2012 he could have easily went to camp with Hamilton or Toronto, as all Canadian QBS in camp were non counters in 2012 i beleive, both with strong ties to Mac. He trust Ptaszek. I cant help but think that Popp, AC, and Coach P realized what was happening with Hawkins as Coach and may have kept the lines open as PoPP resetled with the Als and got his offensive staff in place.
Higgins is a puppet now at HC. Shonert/Garcia and now Shonert/AC/dinwiddie will be running that offense. Thorpe got control of the defense. And Popp went out and got his own Teams coach finally releiving Higgins of that duty. Last season Popp began adding some very quality returners and now with Kavis there you can already see the Stamp he is putting on Teams by signing a young big leg kicker in Bede and now a vet big leg Punter and Kickoff guy in Schmidt.

Still no news on Quinlan other than he’s still on the suspended list. But he didn’t think he’d get the chance to compete and took the coaching gig at McMaster. He may get the itch to play again, but I think Montreal has moved on for the most part.

Question. What is going on with Quinlan. Only info is that he is at Mac as a coach. Being the legend he is there i would have to think he stays in shape and throws some balls during Camp.
