Pathers courting CFL QB Buck Peirce

[CanadianCat]

Buck Pierce is a wanted man.

The free agent quarterback is currently being sought by the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, Carolina Panthers and Detroit Lions.

Oh, but that's not all.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are expected to make him an offer within the next 48 hours, a Hamilton Tiger-Cats scout is evaluating him today in Vancouver, and the Montreal Alouettes have also expressed interest.

BC Lions coach Wally Buono called Pierce on Wednesday night to wish him well.

Pierce, 28, was released by the Lions back in March after five seasons with the team.

He had 692 completions for 8,734 passing yards and threw for 48 touchdowns in his career with B.C., adding 1,015 rushing yards and nine touchdowns himself.

The Lions were the only professional team that the California native had ever played for, but that's about to change. It's just a question of where he'll end up.

I'd take him, with those stats. Hell yeah. Of course, the CFL and the NFL are two COMPLETELY different beasts. However, he can at the very least be a back-up to Moore with stats like that.

the guys is a very good QB makes good reads and is accurate. He is just injury prone. I could see him as a 3rd QB on the roster

I believe Lefors plays for the bombers doesn't he?

If he's so good, why did they release him?

The CFL is a strange kind of league. there are only 7 teams and probably 12 QB's that could be starters. We basically get all the NFL drop outs so its a good league to develop them (Jeff Jarcia, Marren Moon, Doug Flutie, Joe Theismen) So we have an over abundence of QB's which is why some good ones get dropped for no reason.

He was Ricky Ray's back-up in Edmonton until they traded him. He has got worse with a QB rating in the neighborhood of the 2009 Jake Delhomme.

The salary cap is only 6-8 million dollars per team too. Decent QBs take 300-500k of it. You can't afford to give up cap room for 2.

Who are the Pathers for peak sake?
