Collaros status

[Doublezero]

My guess is that ZC may be out for awhile. Just a hunch but he may be dealing with a recurring injury from August 2023, after which his efficiency as a QB began to decline.

Right now, six games or 1/3 into 2025 season, ZC has the worst QB efficiency rating among all the 9 regular starting QBs. Collaros also has the highest INT percentage with 8 INTs vs 7 TDs. Colloros's QB efficiency rating isn't just the worst among starters, at 89.1  it is significantly worse than the others. You could argue Zach has the weakest receiver unit in the league which would contribute to this inefficiency. But looking back at 2024 with a better crop of receivers, Collaros threw 19 INT vs 21 TDs - this includes 4 INTS in the GREY CUP and 4 TDs in West Final - which gave Zach the worst INT percentage last year among QBs who started 10 games or more. That is a total of 28 INT versus 28 TDs in the past 25 games in which Collaros has appeared. Yes you can lay some of that on the receivers. But still.

This is not to take away from Zach's substantial contribution since he arrived here in 2019 - respect! But the decline in Collaros's performance since around August 11 2023 neck injury vs Elks (when Dru Brown came off the bench to win the game) is clear as day.

Age is a *****. Collaros has been **** since 2023 with the odd exception. 

 

Thank God he got an extension before thr season even started

If thats the case then lets see what Stevelers got. I think he will surprise a few posters.

I agree...

If he is suffering from an injury suffered in 2023 it makes his contract extension that much more idiotic.

Someone has to be brought in, some new blood. Stay the **** away from Masoli, Maier. Someone like Crum might be interesting.

Crum also not a good enough passer to be a starting QB

Unless every thing goes exactly right, zach isn’t either. IMO the Least reliable starting passer in the league

You make an interesting point. This certainly seems to have come up out of no where.
