I think it's seriously time for the Bombers to cut Collaros for his own good. Seeing him hit like that, given his history of concussions and other injuries is disturbing. I keep thinking that he is the type of guy who is going to wind up with CTE in 20 years. God bless him.

Then again, I could be overreacting. I get flashbacks of the 90s Flyers and what they put players through.."If you have a heartbeat, you can play!" lol

Maier - 28 of 43 for 314 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT.

Neither looked great. That first deep throw by Zach resulted in laughter from the section. He just doesn't have an arm anymore. It's all over but the hall of fame celebration for Collaros.
Our receivers are waiting for the football on anything over 40 yds....kind of explains why we don't do the deep shots like some are calling for, what for, our Qb can't throw a deep ball!! Stick to what you can do.

I'd be surprised if all athletes that play contact sports don't end up with varying degrees of CTE, some much worse than others,such as MMA and boxers. It's just a matter of allowing their brains to be examined after death by the people doing the research, Bobby Hull and Stan Makita donated their brains and high levels of CTE development were found in both.

You're right. It just sucks because in his head he can make that play. It's there. And then he can't. And then the defense scouts that and they end up coming downhill a ton more and everything gets squeezed. It's unfortunate but this season has got to be it. It will only get worse.

Can't. Won't work. If we cut Zach tomorrow, OTT signs him 5 mins later and he's getting even more concussed there.

If he wants to play, you let him play. Free will and personal responsibility. And who are we to take away his bread and butter. He's got a lovely family to look after, and once the 600k paychecks dry up it might be slim pickings.
Never go full Johnston!

Never in a million years do we cut Collaros, he's a hall of famer for what he's done in Winnipeg alone, such an idea is crazy talk.

Serious time to understand our leader will not be cut.  Great way to give up on the season and guarantee failure.  It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
