What do people know about this guy? Roughriders just signed him and I am interested to here peoples thoughts.
I know he played for the Washington Huskies, but I know little else.

I think that's a nice signing. He was really good in college. I know about Price because Michigan's current offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier used to be the offensive coordinator for Washington.
His freshman year, he was the backup to Jake Locker, but after Locker went off to the NFL, Price became the starter his sophomore year and these were the numbers he put up during his career:
2011: 242/369, 67% comp %, 3063 yards, 33 TDs, 11 INTs 2012: 263/432, 61% comp %, 2728 yards, 19 TDs, 13 INTs (bit of a down year) 2013: 233/352, 66.2 comp %, 2966 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs

His numbers at Washington are better than Locker's and Locker is a legend in the state. The Titans fan base is largest in Tennessee, Kentucky is second, and third is the state of Washington. He's that revered there, and now we have Sankey too.

So far I like everything I have heard about him.. As of right now he is our 3rd string QB, behind Tino Sunseri and Jeff Doege.
Sunseri was our 3rd stringer last year and this is his second year in the offense so his spot as starter is guaranteed the next couple of weeks barring injury.
Doege hasn't shown a damn thing and the only reason he is our 3rd stringer is because he was willing to stick around. I thought he was outplayed immensely in pre-season by our other QB Adam Webber, who I also though outplayed Sunseri, but Sunseri's spot as second stringer was all but guaranteed do to seniority.. Webber likely didn't stick around because being 3rd string in the CFL isn't an appealing job.
Now I could see Price easily leapfrogging Doege with in the next couple weeks. The likelyhood he gets any time starting is pretty unlikely this season, but if Sunseri shits the bed hard Price could see some time which I really hope he does as I think he is tailored for the CFL..
