A little premature but Chad Owens Jr. just finished his Jr Football HS football season. Interesting to see if he will stay in Canada for the reminder of his highschool career and see what his offers...

LOL. No comment.

From a ratio perspective, absolutely. But that doesn't mean there a plethora of Canadian QBs available and that Canadian QBs have been shunned over the years. Do we blame the roster rule for the lack...

And for those interested in local grassroots football. Looks like Peel will only have four Tier 1 teams. Most teams will play tier 2 and there are proposals of starting a Tier 3 division and having...

Said it before, coaches are paid at HS level and of course at NCAA. Mostly volunteers or teachers here, and CIS coaches have to juggle two jobs. Here's an example. Both Juwan Brescascin and Dejon...

Saying someone is "wearing a tin foil hat" or "is a tin foil hat" means that they have paranoia or a belief in conspiracy theories...

It's not rocket science that American football culture and Highschool and NCAA funding will trump what Canada has in comparison. Especially when Canadian players chose to leave. And I think everyone...

"We must keep an open mind and learn, and also learn how to improve the situation".

Still think it's funny that everything that was said earlier in thread, which kind of supported Austin's...

It takes a lot for a QB or any athlete to admit this publicly. Austin Kennedy really seems like a sharp guy to recognize this and not be afraid to share his observations. Everyone hopes to make it to...

It’s not always skill/ability. Didn’t Augustine have a poor interview/questionable background?

Nope - expect everyone to stop replying instead. Yawn....

Well, it's not a contest of Can vs US. And I never used the word inferior, just brought up challenges that I see and know of first hand.

I actually don't understand your position on anything....

With football programs folding left, right and centre, I sure wonder where all these great players will come from. Especially when the GTA (especially Peel) was once a hotbed for talent. It’s reality...

Ignoring how football is managed in Canada is a pretty big deal. Isn't the long term future of football up here more important than some stud who comes up once in awhile? How many Canadians started...

Well I've been coaching football ever since finishing playing and witness it first hand. But whatever.

And let me put it like this, if I was a young QB in the GTA, what would I have to do to maximize my opportunity? Does anyone have a serious idea what it takes or are you just going to pretend that...

How much football does the average American play compared to a Canadian. There is a difference starting when you're 7 in a football heavy community and starting as a senior in high school. There’s...

Thought we were talking QBs. And all 3 examples have had good careers. Not like Paden, Madu have put them out of work becuase GOBs prefer them over a good Canadian player.

Paden got his CFL shot...

Better resume, better training, better competition, more meaningful experience. Manziel or Richard?

They can have a U-19 team, a very select team that may win but doesn’t mean anything in regards to football development at the grassroots level. Have you seen HS football or youth summer rep teams?...

I'm with you on this one. Some can't admit that yes, U sport football may not be as competitive, nor does it allow players to really fine tune their skills. Especially when the usual teams blow...

Does it really matter? Canadian QBs = Jackie Robinson is such a huge stretch.

This exactly why Canadian QBs are not like Jackie Robinson. Until the day they get threatened or spat on, you can’t make that comparison. There’s also been “trailblazers” before with Canadian QBs,...

But not every CIS QB is pro ready, just like not every NCAA QB is ready for NFL (or even the CFL). Heck, you even have Heismann winning QBs who amount to nothing professionally. All of these records...

Regardless of passport, 5'7 QB isn't looking so good. That's an inch shorter than Flutie and the average CFL QB has even gotten taller over time.
