This is reminiscent of the Riders picking up Kerry Joseph in 2014, after the season derailed because of Darian Durant’s injury. Joseph couldn’t save them. He threw five interceptions in the West Division semifinal, in a game they still could have won.
I’m not sure this will work out any better for the Bombers. However, if it does and somehow Collaros starts a game in the playoffs against the Riders, that is a storyline fit for a Hollywood script.
And it’s a story I’d love to see happen.
