We need those guys, too. A tackling crash test dummy is good, also. That's what happens to most Canadian players. They forge their career on Special Teams.

Seems to me that it was our defense that lost the game for us & not Collaros. When we needed a stop we didn't get it. One stop. If anything, it's the defense that needs changes. LIke the interior Defensive line, secondary & another MLB & OLB. The holes are on defense. Not offensively. Hall needs to go but we know that he'll be back.

Wow, this Board is dumping all over Collaros demanding a change at qb. Sure sounds like Stamps fans last year who demanded they move on from Bo Levi Mitchell because Jake Maier was a shoe in to be the Next Big Thing & look what happened. The team did move on but Maier wasn't a shoe in. He led his team to a 6-12 record good for third place in the West & the right to get blown out by the Lions in the West Semi. Which they were. Now, the same fans who wanted Maier last year want to get rid of him this off season. Y'all be careful what you wish for.

But Zach is our man. The Trinity says so, Noeller. The Trinity.... They are so wise. They do no wrong. You said so... many times in the past.

Agreed 100%. The same posters dumping on Collaros will be the same posters dumping on Brown if he is our starting qb & struggles.

I find your remarks kinda funny. Of everybody here, all we have ever seen & heard from you for years is Trust The Trinity. Trust The Trinity. Looks like you suddenly quit worshipping & kissing their feet. Seems your belief in the three isn't what you claim it is, Oh. ye of little faith. The 2025 Grey Cup is two seasons away & quite frankly, I don't care about that damned game right now. I care about 2024 just like I cared about any other season we were going into. I worry about the present & not the future down the road. If we try to build to win a Grey Cup at home in 2025 then it'll be an abysmal failure. The team is right to care about winning this coming season & not in 2025. Next season includes Zach Collaros.

Well, you're not the HC or GM so clearly the Bombers won't be moving on from Zach. It's a qb wilderness out there. Do you see who's available & who we could sign to replace Zach if we traded or released him? Other than Dru Brown (who has only a little body of work as a starter) there's guys like Marcus Fine, Dane Evans, Matthew Schilz & Jake Dolegala. Throw in MBT & maybe Streveler (who isn't a starting qb) & I'll take Zach every day of the week.

Not with the assclown Commissioner still running the show.

Winning starts in the trenches. If a bad team wants to change its fortunes that where you start. Look at Lawler in Edmonton in 2022 or Gino Lewis there last season. Getting production out of one star wideout never helped. Solid linemen on both sides of the ball win games. We started winning in 2015 when our lines began to play better. They aren't exciting picks but linemen win championships.

Brady is making a lot of public appearances. It doesn't look like he's getting any NFL workouts. I expect he'll be back.

Harris hasn't bailed from the VI Raiders yet.

I just get the impression that Mac Jones thinks he knows more than his coaches. With a miserable SOB for a HC. constant losing & a qb with a chip on his shoulder it must be so much fun to go to work.

Some guys will have to go thru attrition in order to keep Schoen & other key free agents.

No, he could become a backup. What's wrong with that? We need depth. Kolo played alright for us last year. He's not an All Star but the guy can play. If Eli replaces him, fine. Yep, agree. Getting rid of Kolo would be a mistake.

Why? That team is total garbage. How is a wide receiver going to help them? Bad teams like that shouldn't trade away picks for players as it's a band aid approach. Their fanbase will explode. Now, if the qb they want is unavailable they could trade down to take the best OL available which is OT Olu Fashano from Penn State at OT. Or they could just pick him first overall Looking at their record they'll probaly have the first pick so they know who's available & what they want.

i watched the 49ers game yesterday. Charles Davis, the CBS analyst doing the game has been on tv a long time. He began to talk about Brock Purdy & his Mr Irrelevant tag. He said that he is also a scout & personnel analyst for the NFL Network & continues to be. He said he takes great pride in doing that. He said he & just about every scout blew it about Purdy. They all underrated him as 2022's draft class went on & made a mistake. Davis said that happens every once in awhile.

The Panthers are such a misfit organization.

He never played that badly. We were the best OL in the CFL. Jut giving the guy some props. Are their worse? Sure but he held his own.

The Caleb Williams sweepstakes between the Cardinals, Panthers & Pats is now on. If Williams is selected by New England, how much playing time will Rourke even see? Also, rumours circulating that Bill Belichek will be fired after the season so a new coaching staff will be a huge unknown for Rourke. They may not want him.

If you think Kolo could be a starter elsewhere then why not just stay here? He was far from the worst OL on the roster.

Yep, Lawrence will have a hangnail & it'll be nothing but tweets galore.

No, I just wonder if I'd live today while waiting alone for a bus on the east side of the Bay at 11;30 pm at night nowadays.

I'm one of the oldtimers on this site. I don't want to invoke the age thingy where I say the fans had it a lot harder 50-55 years ago. All the weeknight home games during the season started at 8 pm on Tuesdays, Weds & Thursdays. As well as 2:30 pm on weekends. Mostly Sunday. No one complaind about the time the games started saying it's too late for kids. Before I had a drivers license, I'd take a Stadium Bus from Riverview (where I lived) at Osborne & Jubilee all the way to the stadium. We'd pass through Riverview, go west on Corydon Avenue & into River Heights ending up on Kenaston & taking the St. James Bridge all the way to the stadium. The bus ride took 90 minutes with about 30 stops on the route. After the game, I'd run for the bus parked at the stadium that would take me from the Stadium to the East Side of the Bay where I'd wait for the Osborne bus to take me home. Sometimes I'd go right back to where I picked up the bus at Jubilee stopping at the opposite side of Osborne. Or get off at Morley Avenue & take the bus to the end of the route where I lived. Getting home after midnight & having to be at Churchill High the next morning for 8:25 am. No one ever complained. Fans just went to the games.

Because the TSN hype train led by Dave Naylor & Farhan Lalji kept force feeding us this guy. They made him out to be this CFL superstar who was just too good for the league. That somehow we were blessed to see him play. Now? Sure he's getting paid to sit on the Jags PR & good for him but sitting on that PR doesn't make him a better player. And no one wants to pick him up. He can stay on a PR forever for all I care. Being buried like that on the JAX roster is just an unforseen detour. Lately, we haven't agreed on a lot of things but yeah, I feel the same way about Rourke as you do & I too, am pissy about it. Rourke can stay down there forever for all I care but he knows that once his NFL intentions are gone, he'll come back.

You mean no one wanted to trade for the biggest superstar in waiting? A nation's heart breaks.
