Idk much about that league.. do they carry 3 abs? Is there practice squad? I remember some on here thinking he’d make the nfl..LOL Quote
mat1992 Posted July 17, 2021 Report Posted July 17, 2021 Probably should have tried to play slot WR in the NFL. Certainly doesn’t help that’s he’s 26. 1 Quote

We will see if he has the arm strength for the wide side out in that league. Still, if someone see something in him he could make a squad as the 3rd down QB, the guy who sneaks on 3rd and one. Because the “defence” has to line up one yard off of the ball, everyone goes on most 3rd and one situations. Many teams don’t want to risk the starter on those plays. Quote

Interesting. isn’t the field longer too? Quote
howie14 Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Posted July 22, 2021 A writer at the Regina newspaper took Tom’s quotes from the press conference and interviewed Rob Ambrose for additional material. https://leaderpost.com/sports/football/cfl/saskatchewan-roughriders/tom-flacco-looking-to-make-a-name-for-himself-with-saskatchewan-roughriders Quote
howie14 Posted July 31, 2021 Author Report Posted July 31, 2021 Tom was released today. He lost the battle for practice squad QB to Mason Fine from North Texas. The Roughriders kept Paxton Lynch as the 3rd QB. We will see if any other team shows an interest. Quote
