Michael Bishop / Ell Roberson

[Kansasflame]

Hey im a Kansas State Football fan in NCAACF and 2 of my favorite K-State players Michael Bishop and Ell Roberson play somewhere in the CFL or did at one time. Do any of you happen to know where either of them are playing and if they are legit in the CFL?

Bishop just signed with Winnipeg, not sure about Robertson.

Is Chris Harper going to play QB at K-State when he becomes eligible?

Bishop has been up here for awhile now. He had an impressive season in terms of wins two years ago, but really was not very good and relied on the defense and special teams to give him great field position to score. If he was asked to go the length of the field he had no chance of doing it.

Last season he was traded half-way through and wasn't very good for either team.

He has a cannon of an arm and decent mobility which are big pluses in the CFL, but his complete inability to read a defense or make intelligent throws has killed him.

As mentioned he signed on to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (the worst team in the league) and because their QB's are awful he will get a shot there, but based on his history it likely won't last longer than this season.

Roberson came up for a cup of coffee but I am pretty sure he is gone now unless he is on some practice roster that I missed. He never did anything in his time up here.

Thank you for the information, in College Football they were both amazing but they ran the Bill Snyder style which made it better but I knew they would never make it pro because of the lack of size however College Football and pro's are 2 total differen't levels.

Yes, he left Oregon to transfer to Manhattan so far of what I know. He will be perfect for the Bill Snyder routine.

So Snyder has said he is going to play QB or are you just assuming? I'm well aware of the transfer. I don't think it's going to be the best thing for him to be honest, but I understand wanting to be close to home.

Where are you located?
