Quote from: Blueforlife on July 07, 2026, 01:40:19 PMA good debate who will start here with some good points by all.

Regardless of his health I would not dress Zach.  Give him time.

See how Brown looks at practice and go from there.  Gut tells me Zach will play if its not serious and Taylor would be the #2 option.

Personally I would go Brown 1A,Taylor 1B and would give most the reps to Brown but sprinkle in the young man to keep him developing.  Heck I would even give Perkins a little more balls on short yardage (1-3 yards). 

I'm with Techno Brown will take time to reseason

I agree with this too. I think you go Brown but give Taylor some set packages that he can run each game. I wouldn't really let a Perkins do anything other than short yardage but a Brown/Elgersma combo feels right and honestly I think we'll be way better off for it before long.

Dru needs a full week of practice with the current receivers and oline before even considering him an option to start.

This is a short week, and Elgersma has the most snaps with this crew, and with game time experience now, he will show a lot better with a short week of prep.

If they decide Dru is needed to start going forward, and Zach is still out, then they can give Dru a full week of snaps before throwing him in.

Zach should not be going in, the DC should be TE, BP and DB.

That can change for the next game depending on the way the game goes, and Zach's recovery.
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

I'd be surprised if Zach is held out of practice this week, I think pulling him was a precautionary decision.

I think Zach is probably in unless there are lingering symptoms of something.

But if he's out, there shouldn't even be a question that it's Dru going in. He is a starting QB in this league with years of experience with this team and the OC.
My wife is amazing!

Please bring in another American receiver with speed. Or bring back that guy we had from Sask.

I'd the ratio would allow it we've got one of the PR who deserves a look first. Dorian Singer. Think in most years he'd have already been in but it's tough with only two import spots and both vets occupying them.
