The guy had a QBR of 112.8 last year.  He had virtually identical stat lines to 2022 and better than his first MOP win in 2021. What part of that screams inconsistent? Did he have a couple down games after he was injured? Yep...but for the most part he was same old Zac.
Agreed. Forums would be pretty boring if everyone agreed, and then it would likely attract the contrarians which is more annoying than any debate I've seen around here lately.

Yep...that is the point I was making. I have zero doubts are offence this year is going to be off the hook. All my question marks are on defence.

I agree. Just saying he was in the conversation.

At any rate, I don't think assessing our offence is really our priority coming into this game. Those battles are probably wrapped up already. Defence on the other hand.....the coaches may want to get a good hard look at several positions there. Let the 3rd and 4th string QBs try find their CFL game and if it results in the D getting a bunch of extra reps that's not necessarily a bad thing in preseason.

He played a grand total of one Q of football in each of those seasons. He had a grand total of 6 pass attempts in preseason 2022 and 7 in 2023.  Are you guys seriously suggesting that those half a dozen passing attempts each year made a lick of difference come game 1 of the season? C'mon....you guys are bitching just for the sake of bitching on this one. Zac not playing is a giant nothing burger.

Modesty forbids.

5 bees says he winds up on the 6 game IR at least once this season.

but he does have to wear an onion on his belt....

I liked Rasheed's usage in the run game and I could totally understand his value as a blocking receiver, but I too would prefer that we roster a receiver that can take the top off the defence in that position. Put the safety in a bind more often than we have been. This probably open up the seams a little more than we have been seeing in recent years too.

Those are certainly some good options. Without seeing the final roster I am not sure what I would do with the DIs, but I like the idea of a receiver/returner.

The nice thing about receivers and DBs is that the bulk of their assessment can come from actual TC sessions. With little contact allowed it must be extremely tough to make decisions in the trenches or at LBer. Receiver and DBs can get a much better assessment in TC.
Smith certainly goes north/south in the return game which is good and yea he can man a few spots in a pinch. Receiver? I'm not sure if even the coaches know right now....it's there for the taking if someone steps up and takes it I think.

Mrs. KBF has to deal with this every day...

I am of the thinking that if we go with a 7 man rotation I don't really care who they pick out of Haba/Garbutt/Rivers. Mostly because I have no idea who is looking the best at camp right now.

Just took a quick peek around the league at whose rosters rival ours. I'm not seeing any. A couple that are not too far off, but we are looking real good again.

Why would we? The Strev is back in town. Only way that Prukop is a Bomber this year is if ZC or Strev went down.

I am not sold on VA having a repeat of his success last season. 

I'm not sure on Calgary, as I have not been looking at their roster all that much, but I agree with you on Saskatchewan. 

Edmonton has a qb now.

6 of those 9 don't start on any other CFL team and 2 of those 3 that qualify as starters are lower end starters.

Lots of ppl thinking the Riders improved and for the life of me I just can't see how.

I'm hoping this is the year we bring in a real difference maker rookie to our DL. Don't care if it is inside or out.
