I like this signing. 5'9" 175, but he has world class speed.

I thought he was taller than that, basically the same size as Sterns but a lot more expensive.  This receiving corps. needs more muscle.

Cautiously optimistic. Hopefully turns out to be a good signing. 3Down had him as the top ranked free agent receiver after Johnson, who re-signed with the riders.
On the negative, he likely was not cheap, and he's another small receiver.
Our blocking from our receivers was bad last year. It was particularly evident on wide receiver screens.

We should look at Tommy Nield, 6"3 206lb nonimport, also in camp we have Jahmal Banks 6" 4   213lbs and decent speed

Great, great, great potential for offensive attack
Stearns performed decently but well done Walters

The issue is Collaros is a bad Qb if he does not have elite protection.

That's probably true, but it's probably true of most quarterbacks. The issue for Collaros remains his playstyle.

He put up hall of fame numbers by holding the ball and waiting on his receivers to win. When he was younger he used his athleticism to scramble and extend plays and combined with an ability to read defenses he won on way more plays than he should have.

The issue for the last couple years is the athletism has decreased and he hasn't be able to willing to transition into a more on time three step drop QB like Trevor Harris now or older Anthony Calvillo.

We aren't going to have an elite offensive line this year either. So Collaros needs to get the ball out on time consistently and win playing within the confines of his 38 year old body or he's going to regress again year over year.

I am not hopeful because I haven't really seen it over the last two years enough to be confident he's able to play like that. Not everyone can. Not even some of the greatest. Collaros is in that group I think.

Zach has taken a lot of heat and he isn't our biggest worry imo
The OL is for me

Finally some good news. He's going to open up the field for the offense as long as Collaros can still threaten deep. Demski and Pokey should be thrilled. They're going to have twice the room to work over last year.
