Jimmy Pop Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 The parity, or lackthereof, between divisions is striking yet again. Eskies look like world beaters now, let's see what they're like against the west. Same too with BC - now they're on their west-only stretch over the next month. L O L @ the Dennis comments. I don't know that we're much different as a fanbase in a lot of ways, still funny stuff to read. The Bob Cameron stats I was well aware of, still astonishing to see in front of you. As close to an untouchable record as you'll find? I think so. Ditto @HardCoreBlue's comment re: Collaros. I always had him a tier below Mitchell & Reilly, but he has to be better than this? Seeing how far one Drew Willy fell in a few short months has me intrigued about what happens with Zach. Guess the nation's best stadium couldn't help ya, eh Zachy boy?

Lack of confidence, support, coaching, health, combo? Or is it actually talent? I think Collaros has a case of the "Drew Willy's" when you get hit repeatedly over and over again you develop happy feet in the pocket and it messes up your mechanics and your accuracy, not to mention the mental aspect of it. Collaros has never thrown more then 9 INT in a season ( keep in mind he's never been completely healthy) but he has 4 already in 4 games. These things are hard to over come because once its in your head mentally it will always be there. Tracker, rebusrankin and blue_gold_84 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
