Riders are Not as Good, or Bad, as you Imagine

It was quite the week in the CFL as a lot of people got caught up in the hype of Nathan Rourke returning without keeping in mind that other than a few appearances in exhibition games the last two years, he has not really played.
Then consider this – Rourke played in the fourth quarter of an exhibition game for Atlanta on a Sunday night, got cut Monday, signed with BC Monday, flew out and hopefully arranged to have his stuff moved to Vancouver, took part in a couple of practices and then played on Sunday against the Bombers,
It should have come as no surprise that Rourke came out flat with a lack of consistency, slow in recognizing defenses and hitting receivers very inconsistently. He also threw a pick six to the godless Bomber defense.
