Has Rourke resumed role as CFL’s best QB?
When Nathan Rourke returned to the Canadian Football League after two years of trying to make his mark in the National Football League, was he automatically the CFL’s No. 1 quarterback?

Not necessarily, even though most CFL fans expected him to pick up where he left off in 2022, a season in which he was named the league's most outstanding Canadian and led the B.C. Lions to a 12-6 record and a spot in the Western Conference final,
Rourke's 2022 stats were amazing. In 10 games, he threw for 335 yards per game, tossed 25 touchdown passes and had only 10 interceptions. He got little more than a quick look with three NFL teams before he realized the NFL grass isn't necessarily greener, although the money certainly was. He earned more than $500,000 while serving on various teams' practice rosters.
