Good gravy, the tunnel vision here.

He had a few good plays in his first PS game. Does nobody remember that once defenses started actually scheming and putting pressure that he came right back down to earth? He's learning, he's growing, yes, but coaches saw him every day in practice, just like they did CJB. The fact that CJB is here and Rourke was free to sign with other clubs should tell you plenty about how the two fared from Monday to Saturday. He's been on the PS or 53 for dang near the entire season. THEY GAVE HIM A REAL CHANCE.

I'm a Bobcat and I sure wish he was the next Brock Purdy, but the realist in me understands that CFL experience is good, but not fully prepping you for Gameday Sunday. The Pats signing him is probably a bandaid, tire-kick, call it what you want, but I have a darn good feeling if our FO is remorseful over the loss, come mid-Jan they will be fully able to bring him back.
