He ain’t it anymore. If the cost is letting Dru Brown walk, we need to make sure we don’t pay it.

what about ZC for Fanny Arbuckle?

I wouldn’t. But that chap has potential. However, I’d do Fatty as the second string and let Strevey go nuts as the starter.
Brown yes - that wouldn’t happen. Is Gnoche Masoli ever going to play again? He can stay in the Ottawa.

Good question.

Completely unrelated but what's Shane Stant up to these days?

Or this guy....

Sorry right - Fatty Arbuckle.  My bad...

After watching him get taken out of the game by the spotter, it got me thinking.  How would it work if he was unable to play next season due to injury? 

Under normal circumstances, we couldn't release him this season if he was injured and have to wait until the off season.  Could we still do that or because of the guarantee, would we just park him on the 6 game all next year.  He still gets paid but it wouldn't go against the cap.

I'm thinking with this turnstile O line, the likelihood that he gets injured is pretty good (I'm not for anyone getting injured). If he gets a serious concussion, he might be done. We'd just 6 game him in 2025.

Yeah I'm not wishing that on anyone, but the hit that put him down & pulled from the game, was nothing special (looked more like he got shoved to the ground than hit) so it got me wondering what might happen if/when he really gets hammered.  Given our o-line play and his history, it's something that could very well happen.

But he wasn’t even hurt, the injury spotter was just trigger happy

Yeah it was weird because they let him run a few plays before pulling him but on the initial hit/shove, he was laying face down for a few seconds and was pretty slow to get up.

I feel like he does that all the time nowadays lol

You're not wrong lol. TSN cut to a shot of his wife in the stands while he was down - not a care in the world that her husband was laid out on the ground, looking like  "Oh I've seen this before, he'll be fine, can you pass the fries?" 

What’s the deal with Fatty Arbuckle anyway? Is it a personality thing that’s led to him being traded so many times or just bad luck?

Collaros does that remarkably often. Just takes his sweet time getting up. The fact they let him run the next play and then took him out is just more ineptitude on the cfls part.

If you've ever observed a 2 year old fall down and lay on the ground it looks remarkably similar.

Because we scored 1 TD against BC?

Because BC scored none against us? And your point?

Collaros is 3rd in passing (yes he only has 4 tds but we are near the top of the league in rushing tds). We also have two receivers in the top 10 (Willson at 5 and Demski at 7)

I'd at least let the week finish out before declaring his position among league leaders. As of right now Collaros has played more games than any other starting QB (9 compared to 7 or 8 ) and has the lowest QB rating of any starting QB (86.8)

And then there's the simple eye test, which is finally trending in the right direction, but still not MOP top-paid QB worthy (in my humble opinion), he looked better than he has lately and thank goodness for that

He actually played 8...strev got one start

 

Sure

Sure, but considering he’s played most of these games with what are essentially 2/3 a second string (at the start of the season) receiving core and a line in transition, plus the recent trend in 3 of the last 4 games of looking more like the guy (short of the tds) we’re used to, I’d say it’s too early to declare what this thread is saying also. Bo Levi is one of the league leaders in tds but in wins? Not so much. Let’s see how this team responds when Lawler is back in the mix.
