Ya you have the wrong guy here, bub. Be better. Try your act with somebody else. I only started calling for Zappe or name your QB X (like a LOT of fans and people like Zolak who actually watch the games) when it was apparent that Mac simply couldn't function out there and was completely broken. That's simply a natural reaction in the sports world. I never proclaimed Zappe WOULD be better. I simply said you can't keep trotting out a broken Mac Jones.
I know this. I haven't defended Belichick at all really. I don't know why that gets lost in this stupid Mac/Zappe argument. This all goes back to Belichick. He sucks at his job right now and deserves plenty of blame for the way Mac Jones went from promising rookie to unplayable within a couple years.
That's fine, you think he will be Tebow 2.0. Tebow can't come close to making the throw Zappe did to Henry against the Steelers. I think that's a ridiculous comparison but ok. I am just ok with giving the guy more than 5 career starts to see if you have anything there. Even if it's just to confirm that he can be a solid, dependable backup. The organization is in shambles. There's really no harm in riding Zappe for a while. If you draft a QB maybe you don't want to throw them out there right away. Or, sign a veteran in the offseason and keep Zappe around for insurance. Have them compete in camp. It's really not something to get up in arms about. Or, blow all the QBs out of here. I am not connected at the hip to Bailey Zappe. It all starts with getting Belichick out of here and letting someone new makes these evaluations.
I haven't looked up sack numbers but taking a sack is certainly better than the countless mind numbing interceptions we saw from Mac that ended up getting him benched. The coaches are probably fine with taking an additional sack here and there. Plus we all acknowledge the team around either QB sucks.
If people could stick to things that have actually been said instead of inventing some fictitious narrative we might be able to move on.
JFC man. This is exactly what I am talking about with not going off what was actually said and living in fantasy land. The entire fan base was not comparing Bailey Zappe to Tom Brady. Stop it.
3 games started 11 sacks for Zappe. Jones started 11 games and was sacked 22 times. So on average 2 sacks a game compared to 3.7 sacks per so far, to be specific.
Always critical of Jones yet absolving Zappe when he plays the same way. That lack of consistency is the issue here. Be honest and fair. Both guys have sucked and both guys aren’t good enough. Why is that hard for you to say? It’s not like Zappe came in and it got better. It’s statistically a dead heat. Why can’t you Zappe fever folks admit it? Lol
No I get it. I read your posts, but I just don't think you are seeing some things..I wasn't really questionig the sack numbers. Numbers are numbers. But my eye test tells me Zappe has equal or better pocket presence than Jones because he is tougher and has better feel.
You can say whatever you want but he is what his stats say he is, regardless of your eye test or feelings. Taking out the emotion or the dislike for one guy over the other, it's literally the same. That's been my point all along. Nothing more. Nothing less. It doesn't matter who they play. The roster isn't good enough to win because it has no difference makers on offense.
You can spin it however you want. In reality, you're being wildly inconsistent. You jumped all over one guy, claimed Zappe would be better, yet he's not. And now you're ignoring the reality.
Yet the numbers don’t back that up. So despite your feelings, you’re wrong
I would clarify that he's better than mentally shot, broken Mac Jones. A confident Mac Jones is a different story.
I think we need to round out our roster with high end talent..give Harrison Jr ALL f***ING DAY. See if you like any other QB's in other rounds, if not, trade or sign a vet.
