Collaros Status

[Pigskin]

In hindsight ZC8 should have taken the game off.

Zach wasn't pulled because of his play. If he was, then he'd have been in uniform on the sidelines. 

IMO he has a concussion and shouldn't have been starting the game in the first place.

Just my opinion, it was a combination. I don't think it's a concussion but I think he's sore, has a million hard miles on him, and in the pouring rain, against a team he has absolutely no success with, they figured he should rest and turn it over to Streveler.

The cold hard truth to our season so far is that Streveler has been no worse than Collaros this year. To put it bluntly, it's a problem when your highly paid, starting QB produces like your 100k backup. That's where we're at. And I don't mean it as anything but fact. Collaros was been amazing for us and should and will always be celebrated. It's just not 2019 anymore.  The only thing left to do is wait for the Steelers to sign him.

Didn't  Zach have a history of concussions when he became a Blue Bomber?

"Multiple prospective studies have identified a history of prior concussion as a risk factor for subsequent concussion."

He probably should retire after this season for his health. He needs to take care of himself.

 he should go on the six game injured list right now.

Specially with the team prospects for this season being quite bad.

Probably..... He'll do whatever they tell him is best for the team.

O'Shea said post game it was injury related.

I believe his words were "not performance related".

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.

Lots of "If's" in your statement! And while I can agree with your statement IMHO this all points out to the lack of good recruiting and player management that took place post 2024 season. I do not believe there will be much opportunity to improve on the state of our talent pool going forward but will always hold out hope!

Are you seriously asking that question?

Sending him to the 6 game is not likely in the cards as it would tank the Bomber season, as it stands now they can still make the playoffs and win the West Division.  Not saying it's right or wrong but Zach signed a contract for $600k with the team to play this season and next, when both sides knew the precarious state his health has been in since his arrival in 2019. I think everyone would respect his decision to retire, but that decision has to be made by Zach.

just put renegade on repeat and ignore everything else.  That's what i am doing..

[GOLDMEMBER]

Are entire QB room is underwhelming to say the least!

Collaros always throws to the other team, Streveler should thank his lucky stars McFadden can't catch a ball because would have had 3-4 interceptions, 3rd stringer hasn't shown much of anything due to numerous reasons.

Our QB situation has not been this bad in about 8 years!

Question (I don't follow salaries that closely), but if Zach was deemed not able to play next year due to injury, would insurance cover his salary and the Bombers not have that count to our cap next year?
I didn't like that extension at the time, but this could be a likely outcome.

[Go_Big_D]

I maintain that our DL is better this year than in '24.  Ya I know, that's not too hard... but we did make some progress.

We were getting pressure on Arbuckle like half the night tonight, because I think we're actually scheming better now after the uselessness of trying to get to VAJ.  And we used more looks and more blitz.

and still the bombers butt

Lots of "If's" in your statement!

Have you never read a post from Tecno before? Lots of If's to help make sure he can't be proven wrong.

interesting stat courtesy of Zach Schnitzer:

#Argos' first five completions of the game vs the #Bombers' struggling secondary were passes of 41, 33, 27, 30, 11,  and 18 yards, including two touchdowns. Collaros had five completions the entire first half, two of them interceptions.

we got our butts kicked - no question.
