Last season, Zach struggled at first when Schoen & Lawler were gone but finished with over 4,000 yards passing. Most qbs would be happy to get to that number. He had more TDs than interceptions. So, I'd say from the seventh or 8th game of the season on, Collaros played well. Not exceptional but good enough. As far as losing the GC, when he injured his finger we were toast. Not so much offensively but hooped defensively. No pass rush. Jake Thomas & Schmeckle were absoutely useless. Arbuckle could autograph each football he threw. We needed to stop the Argos & couldn't. And guess what??? We're doing the same thing again this year. Jordan Younger, Ritchie Hall & Mike O'Shea keep making the same mistakes with our Cheetos Defense. We lost to Nick Farking Arbuckle. They haven't learned.

Didn't Ottawa play a bunch of games with no running back? Doesn't sound like a stacked team

Bullshit. they got a ton of vets and Dyce been around longer than O’Shea in the coaching ranks. What I see is excuses for Dru but completely ignoring all the injuries early for Zach. Not saying Zach was great either. He was average with a few well above and a few welll below average games. But it was obvious early with the oline struggles and the injuries to Brady Schoen lawler etc, demski was banged up, lack of vets getting reps in camp, that struggles were coming but they got by them. Dru and Zach had similar years I’d say. Numbers don’t mean lots here cuz 2 different teams and O. But both were very good at times very bad and just ok.

The explanation for Dru Brown's struggles in Ottawa was likely more than just inexperience. The whole team was thin on talent and depth. even in coaching.

Nice of the Jets to show up for 20 mins. Too bad it came after they were down 3-0.

Oh, who needs first place anyway. What a f****** pathetic effort. And it looks like we have seen playoff Hellebuyck surface

Some are disturbing, some reconnect when they are of age. I mean, even world leaders.

Scheifele and Hellebuyck appear to be the only players interested in trying in the first period. Jets go to Sin City and look completely dialled in, then go to Mormon Central and look completely distracted for the second time this year. Go figure.

With calvillo in comparison, the difference is healthy. I’m not sure Zach is remotely capable of either continuing his norm or revamping due to physical limitations. Harris didn’t actually change, he just got out of the red hot dumpster fire. Even when he went edm to mtl from getting destroyed by us to besting us he wasn’t different or doing things different. Now blm was sitting in some serious injury stuff for a few years. Then he also played on a team where he got to pad stats with out the need to play to win the game last year. But that is a better comparison. But, he needed to bounce around and recover. Zach has no such luxury with time. Dru was carrying a pretty underwhelming offensive squad with a bad system/roster. Dru lead his offence and team last year. Blm, padded stats on a team with out a chance, zach was carried almost the entire year. You have to go off play on the field as every ones stats are pretty similar but they all got there a different way.

I think a lot about Calvillo's resurgence at the end after people thought he was done. I still think Collaros can be that with the right team around him.

At this point now...he won't be better...adequately capable? I think on a consistent basis that's a stretch now too..the succession and or plan in place should have been in place last yr already..and if that meant letting guys like Biggie..Thomas...even a demski go last yr to keep Brown..then so be it tho I still not 100 percent sold he is the guy yet either Buck will have him duck and chuck and go 70 percent deep to intermediate vertical all game...does he have the oline there to not get him killed?? TBD Buck had hard time deviating from a game plan if it wasn't working
