Collaros Status

BBFANDM · July 27, 2025, 02:56:18 AM

So 2 Games in a row Collaros hasn't been able to finish the game. We have no idea what the issues are but did anyone else notice him running to the Locker room after the Game.

I think it's a neck injury officially?

So I guess Techno was wrong then...claimed Bombers pulled him because of his terrible play.

He went running to the dressing room after the game, not sure he'd be doing that if he had a neck injury. I think he was pulled as he was terrible and rightfully so. He played bad tonight and has to own that.

O'Shea said post game it was injury related.

Maybe more embarrassed, for less than stellar play. However he didn't drop those two passes.
He needs some real receivers, not the wanna bees......do we have any receivers.

Other than Demski, no we don't.

Wheatfall will make a great #3 but he needs 2 other good receivers so the secondary can't focus on him. Dropped a TD but that's going to happen when it's that wet.

I put wheatie in the same level as bailey and we let bailey go, and to be honest, I think bailey was better. We have no one anywhere near elite on our squad. Teams have at least 2 and some 3. We re in serious trouble offensively.

Correct but Zach is brutal so whatever.

Yes in 2025 Receivers or lack of Receiver Talent is an Issue ( self induced to some degree ) however Collaros isn't the same player he was in 2019 , 2020 he is middle of the pack or worse on any given week and the supporting Cast around him is aging / declining.

dd · July 27, 2025, 04:08:41 AM

Yes, neck injury or not, he's definitely on the decline and with the sub standard receiving corps we have, expect much of the same what we saw tonight. I d gladly take Cody fajardo over him right now, hands down, no questions asked, and with the savings in salary go buy me back Kenny Lawler next season!!

I think Zach's top-3, IF he has a top OL and at least 2 top-5 RECs. I really do. Zach is not the big problem. But he cannot win you games (anymore) with substandard help.

On your second point, so fix the supporting cast, eh?

Different receivers, Wheatfall is good at getting open deep and beating DB's with speed and great moves. Bailey brought grit to the inside game, which is still sorely lacking, Clercius is a decent receiver but he can't fill Bailey's shoes.

Wheatie is basically slightly improved from '24. He was pretty invisible in the post-season, and really pathetic we had to dress him for a GC. He might get better.

Bailey was the better blocker, but he had that bruiser body type. Wheatie is a lanky Kenny body type, as was Pokey. It's nice to have one of those for the home runs, but it's better if they are really talented.

If we get Pokey back then Wheatie might sit. Especially if Schoen comes back.

Maybe. Maybe not this season. Agreed he needs help to shine.

Dropping the TD on a looks-like-we're-gonna-lose day like today though... gotta make that catch. Especially since he had it perfectly in the basket! It's like the Case drop on 3rd that killed our comeback chances. He totally had it, perfectly ball.
