Zach Collaros not playing this week.

This is almost starting to feel like last year. We came out weak, got riddled with injuries, everyone wrote us off and then we surprised everyone on the way to the Grey Cup. I could live with a repeat of that, everything before our performance in the big game, of course.

I have to agree with most posters here though. Best not to rush Zach back. Between the fact that Dan and Jeremiah are capable, and the fact that our O line is still proving porous enough to put ZC in those situations? He needs to rest up and be 100% before coming back.

Last year they might have come out weak and started the year with injuries but there was a veteran QB who set all kinds of passing records who could avoid a lot of sacks and ints. That’s all in the past.
They are going into Calgary with backup QBs behind a porous “O” line against the top team in the CFL right now. They have a swarming defense that made an experienced veteran like Ricky Ray look bad. Not writing them off for the season but writing them off for this game.

My thoughts exactly. I do not see anything from Masoli and/or LeFevour to convince me either is capable of successfully leading the current Ti-Cat offence against the Rich Stubler Calgary defense which seems to be in mid-season form already.
It could be ugly…

I am going to withhold judgement of Masoli. He may actually be better right now than Collaros in running the offense and better pocket presence. Just my opinion for now but I think Masoli will surprise everyone.
With a bye week to prepare and some good game film on the Argos allowed the stamps to get an advantage even with Cornish out of the game with a young QB. The tables just may be turned when Hamilton goes to Calgary. The stamps have shown their cards with the good back ups they had playing on offense. Hamitlon can prepare for Cornish or non Cornish and pick their spots on offense.
