Or you know. Not see the field at all and theyll have given up 2 draft picks for no real reason at all.
Stickem Posted October 10, 2019 Report Posted October 10, 2019 A controversial move to say the least BUT we had to do something....Streveler has a lot to learn ...his passing game was ...let's say 'sporadic'....Collaros can stretch the field and is fairly accurate BUT we'll have to bubble wrap him so he can continue his career...Any miscues like the missed block in the last game and that hellacious hit Streve took will/would put and end to Zach's career..definitely...So we are walking on eggshells...Collaros knows it....we know it...and the opposition knows it....we have to play those monsters on the opposition's D upfront ...flawlessly...Can we do it...???I think we have the horses but you can't expect Collaros to be upright a 100 percent of the time....Big chance we're taking but did we have a choice...I think we had to go this route or face an early exit...Maybe Zack will find his game and fool everyone who thought he was done....He sure as hell has had enough time to get healthy (if you ever can from a concussion) BUT the writing was on the wall for us postseason and it's definitely been on the wall for quite awhile for Collaros....Hope this all plays out well for all concerned......

ddanger Posted October 10, 2019 Report Posted October 10, 2019 Pretty sure we swapped draft picks with Toronto, and if we sign him we give them a 1st as well. No way we give up that. I'm glad we did something, and personally I hope he never sees the field. And that's got everything to do with his head, not his ability. Bigblue204 1
Stickem Posted October 10, 2019 Report Posted October 10, 2019 Mike O could NOT remain status quo... and everyone knows it...So here we go....Get him on the field and up to speed pronto and see what he's got...

Keep in mind. Sometimes these type of guys stay healthy long enough to give their team a chance. Remember when Buck Pierce stayed healthy long enough to get us to the Grey Cup and played in the game as well? The odds on McGwire winning the grey cup for us in his first year in the CFL is much lower than Zach.

If you're bringing in insurance, shouldn't that insurance be able to survive more than a play or two? We're going to be onto McGuire in the end. TBURGESS 1

But he's inept. Who else would you think was available. I don't think personally that i would have been worth a 1st round pick to get MBT for example but then you lose an asset that would be the key part of a potential trade for Masoli in the offseason. You don't give up a 1st just to give yourself a puncher's chance.

I imagine there will be a bidding war for his services if that's the case. I thought he had extended. We better be prepared to make the necessary adjustments to get an elite qb on the cap for next season.

Zontar Posted October 10, 2019 Report Posted October 10, 2019 "We're not interested in bringing anybody in" but cast a net that went as far and wide as Lulay. Searching for an adjective here...

Brock Streveler Posted October 10, 2019 Report Posted October 10, 2019 4 hours ago, Booch said: this has nothing to due with lack of confidence in Streveler and McGuire...it's about depth and experience...if needed and if Streveler struggles continually..nothing more..nothing less What team would have confidence in their 3rd string guy leading them in the play-offs with next to no experience???..none...you all forget the 2007 Grey Cup with Dinwiddie?? That being said, nothing lost really in this move and Collaros if healthy (which apparently he is ..at moment) could do well in Lapo's conservative offence, and he would recognize and see the things that Streveler is still learning and getting used to, which could...well should benefit the offense....But Lapo needs to have his guys in the right spots and taught up properly as to what to do on certain looks...which to my eye seems like he hasn't done. Stop all the pointless crap over and over to the outside...the flats and the dumb short sideline crap...when the defence has cleared out and basically has taken away the edge our guys should be getting the quick hitter slats..crossers...splitter routes and with some of the guys we have on offence they would be having a field day....but nope...we stick to the script that all teams are sitting on now. As long as we don't expect and plan for Colaros to sit in the pocket and get gang rushed he may be productive for a few games to get us where we need to go....we are in the playoffs regardless...it's a matter of where we will be playing and as bizzare as it is to say this I feel a lot better moving forward for the rest of the year with Marshmellow head on our roster, than where we were up to yesterday Given your gross failures in predictions over the past season maybe you should sit this one out.

Difficult to understand how "were not interested..." is the better answer to media digging than a vague and un specific "were always interested in opportunities to make the team better". It was a weird week for Bomber football ops

I viewed O'Shea's comments about not making any moves at the deadline as similar to Murphy's comments about how much interest there was in his players. Murphy is like the used car salesmen who is overhyping what he's selling and O'Shea is the guy proving beyond any doubt that he's willing to walk away from the deal if the price doesn't come down.

Why do you think anything you say can be taken seriously?
