I thought when it was announced there were numbers posted?  I thought we were giving him a bit of a bump ($50k)?  And he'll certainly get a retention/roster bonus, too.

I certainly never saw anything.

We know he got extended for a year. We don't know what the new money is. We don't know if any of it is guaranteed.

Streveler from game 1 had defenses playing back, expecting the run. He had all the time in the world.

That is true.  No one (including us) knew how slow he was going to be post-injury.  They probably thought he'd regain 90% of his form.  In reality he regained 50%.

There is hope though.  If he can ever ditch the brace and get more healed he could get back to 80%.  Maybe that's what we're banking on?  Certainly will be if we re-sign him for '26!

A lot of speculation on Zach's contract.

We know he got extended for a year. We don't know what the new money is. We don't know if any of it is guaranteed.

Where's the Streveler from game one.

Three very nicely thrown touchdown passes.

Now no one is scared of that. They're forcing him to play QB, and we've all seen the results.

Vegas & the gambling sites must HATE how MOS plays coy with the Zach-type situations.  If they list him as GTD then a lot of people can't place bets until 30 mins before KO!  And by that time some of the markets/choices have been locked.

If the CFL is trying to play nice with the gambling industry (for $$) they may have to step in and outlaw GTD tricks for QBs.

I think our OC has gone "all turtle" after all the INTs this season losing us games.  And being so scared to throw deep for INTs has made us (with Strev) go all-short and thus give route-cheating DBs more INTs.

The solution turned out to be worse than the problem.

He's good at a couple of things right now:

1) Gut runs.  Forget the edge, he has no speed.  Just straight forward.  I like the I-formation where both he & Brady run straight forward and no one knows which of them has the ball.  That has worked very well many times.  Like a "RRO" play.

2) Go deep when they're not expecting it.  No one thinks Strev will throw deep, so they all cheat up on shorter INTs.  Maybe combine #1 and #2, do the I, keep the ball, press the line, then back up and chuck a rainbow to a deep post or corner who will guaranteed have a step on their guy.  Let the REC sort it out if it's not accurate.  With enough air they can adjust.

... that's all I got...

hes not bad at the quarterback draw when its not 2nd and 3

Sep 18 MOS presser, reporter asks "so Zach's gonna play?", MOS replies "we'll see, I don't think so, but maybe, he's doing well".

That's a bit different than usual, him saying "I don't think so".  Usually every "maybe" comment is positive.  He'll usually say "probably", not "probably not".

Of course, this could be 5D chess.  Never can tell with MOS.  But this is is a change in tone.
