CFL Convert from Ohio

He might have the worst seasonal stats right now, but he still had the poise to run a last-minute game-winning drive despite all those worsts. I'm prejudiced, but feel that Zach  has been a little underappreciated. If you take a cloaer look, you'll find that ZC played a very solid game in the 2014 Cup, and only an away from the play penalty on Speedy Banks' kick return preventwd him from getting a likely ring. In 19 and 21, lofty stats were pushed to the side as he game-managed wins. The Bombers were on their way to a substantial lead in 22 when the backup QB threw a momentum-changing pick. Even then, they missed a FG at the end. The defense blew 23 with a 4th down play. Last year was a case of being physically manhanded. In summary, ZC was a hair away from winning 5 out of 6 cups. Playoff stats are often worse for QBs. I think it was the 19 playoffs when ZC had a surprisingly effective game in horrible weather while BLM was awful. I also remember 2 OT dimes that put them up by 8 one year. It does look like 2025 might be the first time since 2018 that the starting Western QB will nor be named Zachary J Collaros. 

One different play outcome at the essential end of two of those games would have made it 4 out of five wins. The play that did drive me crazy was Prukop's pick in '22 when the Bombers were driving toward a potentially decisive score. Breaks decide many big games, although I will concede that last year was a mess from the personnel decisions on.

Just happened to put on the Michigan-Arlington UFL game and within seconds, I heard, "Hands to the face, defence, number 44."  None other than Garrett Marino. The more things change...

He was helpful in the WF (19-26, 301, 4 TDs). He wasn't sacked in that game, which has much to do with pivot performance - just ask Mahomes.

Don't bother.  Bringing up his good games won't change anyone's mind. They watched a masterful performance in the West final but chose to ignore it. They watched an Argos DL completely dominate our OL in last year's Grey Cup and an OC completely refuse to alter the game plan when it happened....but it's on Zac. They watched Zac turn his game around the entire 2nd half of the season and be the best QB in the league in the 2nd half of the season but choose to focus on the first 6 games where our OL was swiss cheese and our receivers didn't know the playbook.
Zac still has more than enough game to win us a Grey Cup this year. Can he win it alone? Nope. Gonna need help....all QBs do.

KARMA for the horns!
 
 

ZC had a solid game there in the 2014 GC.

Craig should shorten his last name to the first four letters.

The Riders will have to promote "Dress Like an Empty Green Seat Night" for future games. It obviously makes the opposing team suck. I really hate rooting for them so much that I'm not doing so, just rooting against BC.

1. Brady, hard-nosed running.   
2. Wilson, nose for the ball
3. Houston, won the game
Considered Brown, for not LOSING the game and Castillo, for not being Leggs

To my knowledge, they've not signed another QB. That's good news. Perhaps Zach will dress as the emergency pivot.
