We have to rethink Canadian QB development. But a huge part of the problem is that the leagues that develop them play in early spring (Spring league) or in the fall (Bantam, Pee wee, highschool) so we're dealing with weather considerations that push coaches away from throwing the ball a lot.


I watch a lot of football, and coach it, and its actually really un usual to see a QB throwing more them 8 or 10 times a game. Canada develops decent running backs because we run the ball a lot. We develop decent receivers because the good young receivers get thrown more to then the kid who isn't as good and ends up mostly blocking downfield.


If you think about it, lets say in Bantam that you get a good young grade 8 QB, in his two year career, he'll probably throw the ball under a 100 times. So while Noah was a good young QB, he goes in not nearly as polished as a QB that in high school throws the ball 150 times in a season, and a lot more in practice.


If you want to develop QB's then frankly I think the following has to happen.


Either move football seasons to the summer months.


Or go to 7 on 7 football in pee wee and probably bantam and have a 7 on 7 option for spring football. 7 on 7 football is almost a pure passing game.


But there's a reason why in the history of the CFL I mean in the 50 years since Jackson retired there haven't been a lot of good Canadian QB's who could be considered to be polished enough to get on a developmental track to Starting QB.


I mean Brandon Bridge is the latest maple leaf hope, but I don't think he's going to go far with the Argo's.
