âWhose bread i eat, whose song I sing.â
They have a few others circling back in Priester, Pickett and Hendrix.
Iâve read this quote from Taylorâs twice now:
âWinnipegâs not a backup for anything. I have great respect for the culture of that locker room and for what the CFL is,â he recently told 3DownNation. âIâve said all along throughout the draft process when I was interviewed by teams that my goal is to be a pro quarterback and thatâs ultimately what my dream has always been â to make a living playing the game I love. I donât think of Winnipeg as a backup at all.â
Do you think by saying Winnipeg isnât a back up plan that heâs saying Winnipeg is not an option for him? CFL is not pro football? Or does he mean NFL is obviously his primary plan, but if he plays in the cfl that somehow that isnât a backup plan?
Itâs natural for an athlete to want to play at the highest level, but he has to realize that the clock is ticking and he has had very little playing time
Heâs young enough to bum around for another summer hoping to get an NFL look. My guess is he signs with the Bombers sometime in the fall. From the Winnipeg perspective in that article it sounds like they may have held off on signing an experienced backup in case Elgersma was going to be in camp. Either way I donât think Elgersma is ready to play meaningful minutes at this stage in his career even if he does join Winnipeg so they need to look after themselves. If Collaros goes down itâs a roll of the dice with any of the other QBs there.
And after that, sadly he will go into permanent concussion protocol watchâŚ

He had his moments. Salut.
Heâs one big hit from being forced out of his last season.
He has already taken too many hits to the head and hard contact with the turf imo.
Stay healthy Zack.
Best wishes to him. Still had a couple of years left in him imo, surprised no team gave him a look this year unless he wasnât interested.
I always liked Dunbar. He sort of reminded me of Bakari Grant. A tall, dependable receiver that was not necessarily the Top Dog but in a half-decent Offence could get you that 1000 yards.
Best wishes to Dunbar and good luck to his future endeavors.
Frankly, a waste of a contract last year.
100% correct . I was excited when we first signed him but then he got injured and then when he was ready to play he was a healthy scratch for pretty much the entire season .
To put a positive spin on it, our Canadian receivers were playing so well he wasnât needed. He may have come in handy if we had injuries with BOO or Smith.
Reliable 3rd/4th option earlier in his career. Too bad injuries got the better of him at the end of his time in Wpg and here. Seemed like a decent guy and good teammate, wish him well in retirement.
Sometimes you make a signing expecting a player to bounce back but it wonât always work out that way. At the time I donât think a lot of people were upset when he signed here.
Hindsight remains undefeated.
You know its people like you who give football sites a bad name.
Good to know .
