How many games will Zach play the rest of the season?

Why don't they put a padded safety helmet on Zach as it will help protect the head a lot more

He's well past that point. Love the guy, but he should retire. He might want to play next year, but please not with the Bombers. Far to many games missed over the last 2 seasons. If we win on Saturday and ZC8 can stay healthy, he plays till we are eliminated from a playoff spot.

Quote from: Sir Blue and Gold on Today at 03:31:03 PMDoes anyone really believe Zach Collaros is going to go on a run and beat out all (any?) of the good quarterbacks right now down the stretch and into the player?

There is probably an almost zero percent chance of that if he makes it through the games or not.

His TD-INT ratio is back to around 2-1 after being 1-1 the last couple of years. If he played all 18, we're probably in a better situation than we are now.

The problem is his health and, no; unfortunately I don't believe he can stay healthy and productive for a 3 game run.

The Stamps have a good DL and Hicks is a stud. Bombers are making a change at center. Can we win the LOS, get Brady going early and keep Collaros from getting hit often?

Can our DL create more pressure on VAJ with changes on their OL? Games are won in the trenches as they say.

The game will be determined by the ability of the OL to protect Zach, 2nd our ability to get to Adams and 3rdly the OLs ability to open things up for the king

We should have made a change at centre a long long time ago. The guy stinks, I'd aruge Koko was better but that ship has sailed so why bother. We need to rebuild our entire left side of the O line, LT, LG and centre, all should be punted.

don't get better by deletion unless the addition is >

The OL has been an issue but the solution lies somewhere between a full punt and a retool LOL, maybe just a drop kick

Quote from: Blue In BC on Today at 03:25:14 PMIt's pretty bleak when we could miss the playoffs for the 1st time since 2019. We're not exactly suffering due to injuries to players that would be starters causing that downturn.

The team has aged out and several starters are not what they used to be. Replacements are not obvious at the moment.

The last time the Bombers missed the playoffs was 2015. Disagree the team has aged out, there has been a lot of turn over and there are less than a handful of older players left and other than Zach and Stan they are not chronic factors in the downturn.

You might not respect Kyrie or Nichols anymore but for the most part they still play their positions as competently as those around them. Replacement is obviously in order for 4 of the 6 oldsters left but that won't effect the trajectory much until they solve the QB issue.
