Right... but that wouldn't matter if he can't play well in Canada.

on the flip side, he definately wouldn't matter that he dominates, if he couldn't stay clean

As you can tell by the very little posting done in the past few weeks he hasn't done much to show that he can dominate just yet in the CFL.

The Roughriders are presently 5-0 and Bowman has contributed some early, but it hasn't been complete dominance.

I think it is best to wait and see.

13 catches, 177 yards, 1 TD...

Color me unimpressed...

...WRs from the CFL have had a hard time converting to the NFL game with the exception of Joe Horn.

I would take a wait and see attitude.

Why would you think that a player who is at best mediocre up in the pass-happy CFL would be successful in the NFL??

Bowman needed to go up there and tear it up, to get a look-see from the NFL, and he hasn't done that... perhaps that's because of his marginal speed...

I've got no desire to see this kid play in the NFL at all.

He's an idiot. Anyone who would willingly jeopardize a shot at the NFL just to get high is a fool.

Testing positive just prior to one of the most important days for a college player is just pathetic. Anymore, that is what the combine is all about. More than showing off what the players have physically, the combine is all about seeing the players have what it takes mentally and if they have the right attitude.

And its not just that he smoked weed prior to the combine that gets to me. I know a lot of athletes do it. Its the fact that he let himself get caught doing it that makes me root against him. He had a golden opportunity and he may have flushed it. I think he will get a shot with a team sometime but I applaud every owner and GM who passed on him and sent him to Canada, just like I applaud NC for sending him home because of it.

...misinterpreted what I have been saying. I hope I have been clear in this thread about my stance on WR coming out of the CFL.

I'm skeptical about Bowman, but others may be more positive.

You're right, I did misunderstand... my bad...
