O’Shea’s “If he can go, he’s Zach” loyalty is masking a brutal efficiency split for Dru Br

Brown has completed 70.2 percent for 1,148 yards but thrown five touchdowns and five interceptions in four starts this season, while in three years as Winnipeg’s backup he posted a 14:2 TD-to-INT ratio. Collaros, 38, is 5-4 with a 70.6 percent completion rate, and O’Shea’s public deference after a head injury suggests the staff won’t hand Brown the keys even if Collaros is cleared. That 7:1 vs. 1:1 ratio is the hidden cost of a veteran-dependent system.
