I do trust DP's judgement, especially as a former QB himself. I wonder if during the practices, that we fans don't witness, if Rourke throws a lot of balls he shouldn't or doesn't see open WRs. I personally hope they keep a 3rd spot on the roster for him, as he seems to be a nice development asset for the future, if needed, or to be used as trade bait in the season.

On a side note, Warren Moon turned into a 9x pro bowl QB in the NFL, after a lengthy initial stint in the CFL. I am not indicating Rourke is going to be Moon, but I would not discount Rourke's potential simply due to him cutting his pro QB teeth in the CFL.

I agree that is why they like him but he is generally too slow to throw it, doesn't have a great enough arm to make up for all the unathletic shortcomings. I said the same stuff earlier that everyone else has to win for the play to be successful. That doesn't happen a lot in the NFL so the team will struggle if he has to play.
