Welp, there's one way for Zach to silence his critics, pull a rabbit out of his hat and put in a confidence inspiring performance that resembles the Zach of a few years ago.

Does Collaros have access to a time machine? The 2022-23 version of that QB is long gone.

Zach will be fine, I have no worries about him performing well of anything his absence taught me to appreciate him even more as I didn't like what I saw in brown and elgersma!! He ll be just fine

If Zach is upright more than on the turf, the OL pulls up the shorts and Brady cooks, he will be aok

Make sure you have plenty of ammo ready to celebrate anything resembling success at home against an 0-7 team.

I am cautiously optimistic about Zach.  Worried about the OL a bit.

Zach to start.

Dru Brown has been listed as the backup behind Collaros, while Bryce Perkins remains in the third-string role as Winnipeg's short-yardage quarterback.

Canadian backup Taylor Elgersma, who has played twice this season in a relief role, has been placed on the reserve roster.

I knew it! The argument was who goes to rr. Clearly Perkins has solidly won the SY job. Elgs is clearly only going to be a long term project.
Never go full Johnston!

You called it.  I wanted Taylor on AR but this makes sense.  Maybe he can play with a mini football in the locker room with the other guys in the PR lol.

This remains my biggest concern with the team right now.

I think everyone knew that once ZC8 and Brownie were healthy, TE13 was going to be the odd man out.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Nothing new, that's been the plan since they traded for Brown.

Agreed.

I wanted Tayor as #3 for developmental purposes but this decision makes sense

There was debate on where the 4th would go.

I'm going to offer a contrarian view and think Elgersma to the reserve is a bad idea. Collaros is a hit away from missing the season and even if he plays about as good as he did last year it's not nearly good enough to have success this fall.

Brown is probably not the QB of the future and while I think he's probably a bit better than Collaros at this stage when healthy and comfortable he's unlikely win many duals with the premier QBs out there right now.

Elgersma is the only quarterback on the roster with the athleticism, age, and raw potential to be elite at the QB position. Having him dress for games and potentially coming in for whenever Collaros gets hurt again has value and would only help his development.

Don't love it. Especially don't love that it represents the continued choice to keep putting out players who are well past being able to help us while making the younger players watch and be continually flogged by O'Shea's annual rookie humblizer program which does more harm than good.
