Future Hall of Fame left tackle Stanley Bryant put it succinctly when asked about what quarterback Zach Collaros means to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
As Collaros and the Bombers get ready for their fifth straight Grey Cup appearance in Sunday’s showdown with Toronto, let’s not forget how the season started.
Winnipeg went 0-4 and 2-6 out of the gates. Collaros went without a touchdown pass through his first five games against four interceptions. And the Bombers looked like a shell of their former selves, especially on offence.
But with Collaros at the helm, losing faith was never an option. And now Winnipeg is back on the biggest stage.
Seeing the Blue Bombers stumble out of the gate was notable. People notice when the league’s gold standard for so long looks out of sorts. But instead of panicking or pointing fingers or letting things get off the rails, Winnipeg trusted the process. And trusted the guy.
“You could say (they were struggling) for anybody that was on the team,” Bryant admitted on Friday morning.
“No belief was ever lost with him. We just started off slow, faced adversity, but we overcame that and we got back on track.”
The mark of a good locker room is how they respond when things are tough. And aside from a couple last-minute Grey Cup losses the last two years, things have rarely been hard for the Bombers over the last half decade.
Give them credit: Collaros and Winnipeg’s offence responded the right way.
“We never felt that Zach was off to a slow start,” said red hot receiver Kenny Lawler. “There are a lot of things that go into football and it’s never always on the quarterback as much as he may say, you know, yeah, it’s me.
“It’s not all him. He’s a leader so of course, you know, he might say things like that. It was just an overall team thing that we had to become better.”
