If we scuffling near end of yr..not in playoff race and have a chance to substantially upgrade our team witj a deal...only a fool wouldn't take that opportunity...thats the brutal reality of sports.. But...if we in thick of it...ZC is healthy and eff3ctive...Brown is ensconced as #2 and is getting reps here and there and keeping sharp...we would be a fool to trade him It all depends on the trajectory of the season..and if he did land in the Hammer...and BLM is done..or questionable in 2027..maybe ZC decides he has a yr or 2 more in him being close to his wife's home

One of the dumbest BS calls I’ve witnessed. Not because of the severity of the call, but how it so blatantly contradicted video evidence. We’ve seen incompletions be ruled catches, of course… but for the CC to call down for -that- and get it ludicrously wrong… it’d be hilarious if it wasn’t so Toronto biased.

Speaking of... Sounds like his days in Detroit could be numbered. They had him doing some work at guard during their recent OTA's, seeing if he might fit better there. Based on their drafting an FA signings, he's pretty far down their depth chart, inside or outside. I'm sure other NFL teams will, at the very least, kick tires on him but it's something to watch any way.

naw, I think we gotta keep that depth at QB. Having two QBs who can win games is a great postion to be in. Don't want to wind up hooped like Hamilton if we have an unfortunate injury.

You can't base anything on that..osh had repeatedly played players he likes over more talented...or more useful players..that opinion he couldnt beat out kolo doesn't hold weight We let him go..went to the hammer where they had a center opening..he was not "given" the job but was beat out by a converted guard...says alot

People suggesting this aren't thinking it through fully. Players both in our dressing room and around the league would view our franchise in a negative light. This is Zac's retirement tour, you dont treat the face of your franchise this entire decade like that. Would be doing him dirty.

It would be beyond stupid to trade ZC this year. He has basically stated this is his last year. Guys like Milt stating it just confirms it. It would weaken us at QB, and it would risk our dressing room chemistry. Just a dumb idea by fans who dont understand the over all impact it would have.

Knuckle dragging cousin f***ers are complaining about a home game being scheduled on the final night of the Country Thunder music fest tonight but c'mon... It's maybe half full. What a pathetic excuse for a fan base in a province that has nothing going on ever....

It was an absolute joke. Hit to the head, then a penalty to Calgary for their Olineman shoving him for it. So basically head hunt a sliding QB and it is a wash. Not to mention that piece of **** has done it his whole career.

Lol. Maybe it will play out like it did in Moneyball. O'Shea "you are killing this team" Walters "Osh, I can do this all day long"

Might be a little ahead of yourself here. They could still end up being Pierce/Eliott/brink. Wasn't Elliott going to move mountains

Collaros on the block....lol.....with a coach who keeps less talented guys around ....just because ....We could make a deal that would really benefit the club long term.... but don't hold your breath....We have a strong stable of qb's without Zack BUT unless Osh has sort of enlightenment and is prepared go in another direction....no chance

Watching the world cup England versus Norway i like how the ref quickly explains his reasoning for overturning his original call of penalty kick for England. The CFL CC needs to do a similar thing and provide fans with a quick rationalization of their decisions, e.g, when they inserted themselves in the game last night by calling RTP on the BB when originally there was no call by the field refs.

Eli is on year 7 as a backup/6th OL... He's 30 years old... He's not starting at C, it's just not happening, now or ever

Yeah considering he hadn't taken a real game snap since Oct 3rd of 2025...had none in TC this yr and 1 practice with us, pretty encouraging what he did....now imagine how he should look when he in full mode. You could see his pre-snap reads were bang on and knew where he needed to put the ball, and got it there as fast as we have seen in yrs with a Winnipeg offence. He also navigates the pocket real well, and I forgot how quick his footwork is when he see's/senses the pressure and relocates himself to a safer spot and still gets himself set up in a real good throwing base/platform and delivers the ball with a tight spiral....ZC cant do that anymore and when he does ot looks all nectic and he is more times than not throwing a pass in a less than Ideal setup...Hence his increase in picks the past 3 yrs Dru's pick yesterday...I bet 2 or 3 games into his tenure here he makes the TD pass there when he knows his receiver's better and likely would have dropped that backside shoulder where only the receiver has a chance for it. But all things considered that is the sharpest and most fluid tempo offence we have run in long time, and was a perfect scheme for his first game with literally zero reps other than glorified skely ince this week We don't need to rush ZC back, and Dru should get the start next week, to really iron out the rust, plus he has seen the Ott defence all yr up until his release and even tho he is as chill as chill can be...You gotta know he will be chomping at the bit to lay a whoopin on Dinwiddie and crew to show they effed up Amazing part of that last night we didnt even use the run game to open things up for him...he was just hitting his spots as they had it drawn up Once ZC is healthy and back, tough choice for Osh...I know everyone and their dog wants to hype TE but Perkins has earned that SY job...and is pretty much automatic, and as we saw last night when the oline is having an off day and not blowing up the line...he can power his way to the 1st down even when hit right at, the line....and you know he is gonna bust a huge run here sooner than later... Dropping Perkins soley for they hype is the wrong move. TE will develop just as much as the reserve guy watching and learning as he would standing on the sideline, running a sneak here and there Dave quadruple asterisks....hell of a qb hahaha

Let Brown keep starting until/if the wheels fall off. He deserves another start. Also keeps Collaros healthy until we really need him.

Woke up this morning still pissed at Stewart Johnston, and then a little sad. What an absolute shame this is happening to our league.

Poor ticats They're not winning a game against anyone other than Ottawa with Dolegala this year

He didn't actually. He was injured most of camp, pre season and still isn't 100%.

Not to mention the circus act our O-Line was in those days

Kyle "Billy Beane" Walters Lapo destroyed him.

Time for Walters to summon up his courage and override O'Shea.

Just getting caught up on the CFL this morning ... Awe up to his old tricks with a late hit against VAJ that deserves some supplemental discipline.

The only way I get rid of Zach at this point is if someone was stupid enough to give us an absolute haul for him (highly unlikely) and if it became absolutely crystal clear that Dru is for real (we need more than one game against a really bad defense). I can't see a reality where all of that is true but you never know.

Yes but wouldn't it hold true that we would/should be stronger....I'm not of the mind to just dump Zack, although players always say they are always prepared for that inevitability ...Bomber management would have to have a long discussion with Zack and see where his head is at with regard to a trade...Maybe a deal back east ( his stomping grounds) would suit him...In any event he is currently injured so I wouldn't expect there will be any movement regarding his future for quite awhile

The big return of Conor McGregor was a bust. Tried a jump kick right off the bat and blew out his knee. Disappointing end to what had been a decent card.

Eli can't surpass Kolo last year and has all the chance to get the starting C at TC. He didn't.

Who needs draft picks? I hear there is not one outstanding ST prospect in next year's draft pool.

The 8th Canadian starter has that covered

And it wasn't RTP. There's that too.

Led to believe by who???

Hamilton put all their nuts in one dish & look what happened. They at least had Kevin Powell ready to go but they let him go to Edmonton in free agency. A possible serious GC run ifor the Ti Cats now for all intents & purposes is over. Only a few teams have what we have at QB1 & QB2, But for us, we have 4 qbs who contribute. As wbbfan said, the best qb room since the 80;s with the Bombers when they had Clements, Hufnagel & Tom Muecke. It felt good then 40 years ago as a fan & DAMN it still feels good today. Dru Brown just fell into our lap. Holy effin ****. Three weeks ago whooda thunk it???

Seriously? Usually I'd respond but that comment isn't worth it.

Also, after everything he's given to this team, I have a hard time believing they'll just toss him aside like trash.

It’s a discussion forum so it’s reasonable to talk about, but I hope nobody actually believes Collaros will be benched or traded. Barring a long term injury this is Collaros’ team. I’m not sure there’s a more loyal coach in pro sports than O’Shea.

Milt said in the pre-game show that this was Zach's last year, which went unacknowledged. That is what I have suspected since the Brown trade as well. I think this is it for him.

good points. Yeah they aren’t there, but they have that potential. Next year’s camp and tc battle with te and brown should be exceptional

Ray/Harris/Collaros was the last 1/2/3 like that I’m pretty sure. Garcia/Dave ****/Burris before that? Not that I’m fully putting our guys at that level quite yet, but I mean in context of this era and given the rest of the league’s QB rooms it’s somewhat comparable.

Yep. :) For decades, only American assisitant coaches could find work in the CFL. No way, a Canadian would ever be considered for a head coaching position . Canadians as per usual were considered underlings. Slowly over the years more & more Canadians started to make inroads onto CFL coaching rosters. Guys that worked hard just to get where they were. Now for the sake of diversity, qualified Canadian male coaches face another barrier. I have no problem if a woman has the qualifications to coach or ref at the CFL level but most don't. They get the job anyway for diversity sake & it's wrong. If the CFL really cared, they'd get rid of the coaching admin cap to allow the hiring of BOTH promising young men & women coaches that teams could develop. That makes more sense than mandagting some kind of diversity program. Just my take.

Yup but I tell you watching Dru Brown take snaps and quickly get it out of his hands was nice to watch and i’m thinking that’s quite hard to defend. Wilson was the major benefactor of that last night. Nice wrinkle that we now have. It’s also nice to see Sergio back into his groove.

Hope to heck they let Brown start next week in Ottawa. Let him personally make Dinwiddie eat his words I could really see a game like that brining the team together in the locker room.

I thought Korn and Kelly would have goat horns.....but actually two games in a row they looked fine, certainly didn't terrible and both actually made a few plays...heck I would say Kelly has even actually looked good the last two weeks......

Okay, to say what most, if not all here are thinking, Dru looked better with his lack of experience with this O-line and receiving corps, than Collaros has looked for the past couple of years. He is the QB of the day and will serve well until Elgersma is ready, and trotting out Collaros again serves only to delay the development and integration of Brown and Elgersma. Collaros has been a fixture here for some time and parting with him is going to be painful, but the future waits for no one. Collaros still has value, so Walters has to put him on the block.
