Nathan Rourke to begin working out for NFL teams

[MarkNelson]

Rourke is a machine. He is down the depth chart from Trevor Lawrence, but he will eventually get a chance. He's too good to sit on the bench.

Not only behind Lawrence, but also CJ Beathard.

Yeah, a long way to go. Rourke was too good for the CFL and now that he is in the NFL he needs to have his moment where he can prove himself. I think it will come. He needs to be patient.

I think the fear is that he ends up like Chris "Pat McAfee calls me Strafolsky" Strevler, who's barely hanging on to an NFL career.

No chance.

Strevler is not a NFL level QB and the Cardinals signed him because they were impressed with his dual capabilities, and kept him because he's a great camp body.

If Rourke gets the chance Strevler got, and is able to actually play in a regular season NFL game, then his career is going to escalate dramatically. I mean it when I say that Nathan Rourke was not an NFL starting QB when he entered the CFL but two years of pro experience later and I genuinely think he could compete or be ready to start on a team that has not got a solid starting QB. He rolls into NE, the Raiders (tho I like Jimmy G), Falcons or Commanders and he is starting within a few weeks and I would put money on him having a great season.

But like Heinicke said, the best job in the world is a backup QB in the NFL, so maybe he's fine with that. A Canadian QB succeeding in the NFL though would be absolutely insane

I hope he get the chance to play today , and makes a great performance as last game!

Rourke was 10/12 for 121 yards, 0 TDS and 0 INTs.
Beathard was 12/20 for 138 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT.

And yet...

[rufoven]

for him, being Canadian and coming from the CFL, it is good news at least to stay as the third QB, and not be released, I don't know much about the situation of QBs in other teams, hopefully at least I have the opportunity to be traded to another team where I can be the backup QB.
