With Andrew Buckley starting for Calgary against Winnipeg and Brandon Bridge likely getting substantial playing again for the Riders against Edmonton, Canadian CFL QBs are starting to get some playing time and recognition after decades of being all but non-existent.

The 24-year-old beat out Mitchell Gale, who has CFL experience, and former NFL pivot Ricky Stanzi for the backup role to Bo Levi Mitchell coming out of training camp in 2017. He’s seen action in fives games connecting on 19-of-24 passes for 193 yards and one touchdown, including a perfect 10-for-10, 106-yard, one touchdown performance in extensive action against Hamilton in Week 6. Buckley continues to handle quarterback sneak situations for Calgary with 26 carries for 96 yards and three touchdowns.
Buckley will become the second Canadian quarterback to start a game in 2017, joining Saskatchewan Roughriders pivot Brandon Bridge. The Riders signal caller completed 21-of-31 passes for 231 yards and three touchdowns in a 27-19 win over the Ticats in Week 13.
Buckley will look to keep that undefeated Canuck QB record going.
