Kelly's in TO and Dru Brown in Ottawa, and Alexander in Montreal, all young bucks. If he wants to go east, he may have to be the veteran backup, which would be a good role for him health risk wise, I just don't think the athlete in him would accept that role, he'd want to start or retire,
you forget they moved Barlow and signed Garbutt. And they even signed josh Johnson along with almost every other Bomber available not named Ford.(btw the only bomber other than Ford was haba who signed with Toronto. Weird.)

As a starting QB drawing big money, I think you're probably correct (mind you, Trevor Harris is two years older, and is still starting in Sask).

I wouldn't be surprised if Zach is still starting two years. I wouldn't be surprised if it was for another team.
My wife is amazing!

Zac has to be more certain in some of his throws. But he has been rushed too often to have any consistency. 2026 has the feeling of significant turnover.  Players on the Oline could all be replaced, because of age and injury.

Basically they will not have any veterans left. Plus injuries to an aging offence could happen. We have been lucky to.  It have any, for the most part.
 Defensively the team has continued to transition to younger but not neccearily better guys. It could be some lean years.

If Zac wants to play, the Bombers might be the only team looking for a QB

Ya, if Zach's arm isn't a noodle and he's still able to make decent reads, then he'll keep playing.  So far so good.  Zach is a shoe-in for WFC RoH and as such I want him here until retirement.  I don't care if '27 (or whatever) is a lackluster year because of it.

I really think Zach needs to be helped to speed up his wind up and release.  Compared to Rourke it's a bloody eternity and it allows all the defenders to cheat up on the throw for the INT.

I can't recall how quick Zach was when he was young... slower wind up may be an age thing that can't be overcome.  Dunno.

Maybe he can be coached up more on looking off FSs and more feints / pumpfakes to get DBs to cheat the wrong direction.  He's really lost a lot of that trickery game.  Good teams started to key on Zach's deficiencies in '23 and '24.

Zach is at his best throwing to a homerun Demski or Schoen one-on-one with no help over the top.  When that's missing we often have trouble.
Never go full Rider!

Yup! Seems to be an accurate observation(s)

Does Zac look like a "came out of retirement player." Already.?
He is great sometimes, but seems "really bad at others

On the Interceptions, he looks really bad
