im a little confused by what seems to be a popular position that zappe had accuracy, etc in that game
we scored 0 pts, he threw behind receivers more times than i can even remember and was extremely inconsistent
we've seen this in the past where people hate a player so badly (in this case mac jones) that they start seeing things that arent there in the replacement to justify replacing hated player
Mac sucks bad, so im all for keeping him benched the rest of this year, but that doesnt suddenly make Zappe a special talent at QB or an accurate QB... he had at least 1 but i think 2 passes yesterday that should have been picked off, but he got lucky. It was as real bad game, not sure what people are seeing, but seems people are convinced he played so much better than Mac
I dont understand the "Zappe looked so much better scoring 0 pts!" angle
Give me some Malik Cunningham rather than a shorter version of Mac Jones, it would be much more entertaining to watch

His pocket presence is so much better than Mac. Like volumes better. He was more accurate but because his arm is so weak, he just can't make all the throws. He also had zero TOs which is not something we have had with Mac in some time.

With 5 games to go, I think we'll see Zappe starting 3 more and Mac for the last 2.
I'm looking forward to watching 0.

Who cares? Just lose ALL of the games this year! That's all that matters...
I didn't hear anyone call Zappe a special talent. He simply meets the low bar of playing better than Mac. He doesn't wet his pants the way Mac does when under pressure. How many interceptions would Mac have had yesterday if he played instead of Zappe? Mac had 2 interceptions in one half last week with 0 points. Mac reminds me of Tony Eason when under pressure, except Eason was much more talented than Mac.

Zappe looks better than Mac until the ball leaves his hands. And I don't mean that as a compliment to Mac

Tell you what I like about Zappe. He threw a great pass yesterday, and one of the receivers dropped a catch that would have really moved the chains. Can't remember who it was. But there was no histrionics from Zappe, no throwing arms in the air, wailing etc. He gave the subtlest twitch in the corner of his mouth and just moved on.

Sadly, unless things change with the Patriots offense wholesale, it's highly likely that Zappe will be reduced to a pile of mush as well.
And that, is sad.

It's a lot easier to keep your cool when that crap hasn't been happening to you for the better part of two seasons.
Well, we're going to find out real soon if Zappe can make the cut. With Stevenson out, Zeke can only run so much, so they are going to have to throw the ball a lot more.

The Patriots' Mac Jones is the man of the muddled moment
Just two years removed from a Pro Bowl rookie season, the quarterback who started with so much promise out of Alabama now has no clear future in football.

In his weekly presser today BoB left a crack in the door for Mac to see play time again by stating that any player who practices well deserves game time.After getting past the intial groaning , it does make sense.Zappe has performed as dismally as Mac.If you play Mac , you either look to see if there is anything there to be salvaged or if he plays well enough to increase his trade value with out risking your draft postion.
My random thought for today is " If your Zappe , and the Coaches are saying "tank" , but by tanking you are killing your
own market value , what the hell do you do ?."

imo zappe is a backup.
but he is playing better than mac in these ways:
1)not as many giveaways
2)he seldom makes bad plays worse
3)he keeps 2 hands on the ball,and doesn't panic
4)he doesn't throw shitfits
if you bench him for mac,you are telling the team you are tanking imo.

It's probably better for Jones if he doesn't play again under Belichick. Belichick ruined him over the course of 2 seasons. He's not going to fix him in 3 games. Jones will be better off with either him or BB (or both) moving on to another team.
It's up to Mac to fix himself.
I hope that he does play and plays well.

Belichick didn't "ruin him". Every player is equally responsible for their own development. The warning signs were clearly there on Jones's draft report. The team made a mistake taking him.
