Zach Collaros maybe needs to read Matt Dunigans book... specifically the first bit about how his career ended...

And/or watch the interview Matt Dunnigan and family did with TSN sometime ago on the effects CTE continues to have on him and his family. It was very moving.

O'Shea's opinion is influenced by his ego and his dawning realization that the team is struggling to make the playoffs which will affect his reputation and whether he will be here next year. His conduct in the Drew Willy/Matt Nichols incident plus his handling of Collaros in the last Grey Cup game is a powerful indicator of how he functions.

Selfishly... I would want Elgersma to bounce around a bit down south before he settles up here. If he comes up this year, and balls out next year, he's probably gone again in 2027. If he spends the next year and a half bouncing around PRs and Camps looking for a shot and comes up in 2027, he's more likely here for the long haul.

nah canadian college qb is not getting the call up after one season here, unless he throws for numbers that would make doug flutie blush.

I think we all remember that time late in milts career when he was plastered over the middle and out old twitching on the field. then came two and jumped up but was clearly confused and wobbly. 

 He played in a far worse era for player safety. He isn’t the guy to say some thing for clicks or throw out calls for retirement lightly. 

I understand what mos is trying to say, but I think all the needed info IS available. you have a qb who turns 39 in a couple weeks, who has been knocked out of games 3 times this year due to high hits, who hasn’t been 100% in about 2.5-3 years, and who has more concussion history than the entire rest of the west division. Not an exaggeration either. 

In grappling they say “every thing below the eyes is the neck”, in football especially for qbs/concussions every thing from the shoulders up is the head. if you get whacked in the neck, it jostles your brain. smashed with a clean hit in the shoulder pads, rattles the cage. 

So when you see a qb with concussion history’s head hit 3 times and once bounce off the turf, it’s a concussion issue. 

After concussions, every injury near the head causes issues. no such thing as close but didn’t cause issues at that point. 

Post concussion syndrome/ppcs is no joke.

Show Zach a Gary Goodridge interview and scare the living s*** out of him.
