same. I do like his talent too. I have doubts about his staying power and that contract is wild, but i respect the guy. 

 

Why the doubts about his staying power?

Walters admitted it. The Bombers don't renegotiate paycuts with players under contract. So, it's not up to Collaros to ask for less. It's up to Walters. Yet, somehow it's Zach's problem when it's not. Now, he's become an over hill the hill selfish player according to 90% of you here. He's not. Walters put us in this situation giving Zach an extension. And Walters got a new 3 year deal himself. Blame Walters Not Collaros. 

Amen..bad contract after bad contract.

A few things worry me. He’s 27 with plenty of nfl window left. If he has another year like 25 this coming season i could see him being a clipboard qb down south for a long time. 

 I also worry about durability, not because of him but because his legs are a key part of what he does. 

 His 24 half season up here still bothers me. He came in took over and made that b.c. team worse. 

I haven’t seen that adapt and come back, over come adversity, elevate his team, carry in the clutch type stuff that top tier qbs need. 

He also had a tremendous supporting cast this year in bc on offence, and their D was soo bad most of the year he got a ton of time/drives to put up stats. 
 

I want to see him over come some adversity on that offence, come up clutch and repeat his performance from 25 in 26. (just not against us) 

It’s not his skill set, or even his mental tool kit I wonder about. It’s really his ability to turn it up at will when he needs it most, that Goat type ability to separate him self from the rest of the league. It’s how he will produce when times are rough. 

I always worry about qbs with early success. It’s all about over coming adversity.

And 185k of hard money for the 9th best sam in league.. not to mention probably the 3rd best on our roster and thats being generous..solid cap management 

Not doubting your info but the only thing ive seen online is 160 this year and 165 next. Where did you find your numbers? Not like I need an extra reason to think KW is doing a bad job, just want to have the ammo when the KW apologists come to his defence when he sleeps thru FA.

I agree, but because he's built like a twig

That’s a good point as well.
