Zappe is improving with every start. With a crap team around him to boot. The guy also holds some unbelievable college football records.
Completely agree!
Zappe scored an impressive 35 on his Wonderlic. That is a very high score. Better than almost all the starting QBs in the NFL right now
What did Mac Jones score? His academic accomplishments were impressive in college.
Zappe's ball velocity is good and can be improved. He has more arm talent currently than does Mac.
Yeah I think he has more zip on his throws - only because he is quicker on his feet and can get set up fast.
But more zip then Mac isn't saying much. Honest to god that throw he made in Dallas was worse then ANY HS QB I have ever seen play IRL. I was sitting towards that side of the field that the threw to - and it was just a duck. No velocity - no zip - just an awful amateur like throw that half the stadium could have made.
BB likes a guy with a big arm - Matt Cassell - Ryan Mallet et al. Sure these guys didn't do much - but the point is if a guy with a big arm falls to us - we likely take em. Someone tall that can stand in the pocket - see over people and make big time throws. That's what Bill likes. This mini QBs - are fine for backups - but for your QB1.. Maye is a good pick.
Zappe's got the character. That's what matters. Brady was picked in the six round but he had the character. Seven Superbowls later...
I'm in the give Zappe a chance camp
Bailey believes in himself. That is a very powerful trait that cannot be taught. One of the most important intagibles. You never know how far confidence or "being cocky" can take you. To him, he is a starter in the NFL not a back-up like the media says.
You're right. We can't him count him out.
Belichick knows how to shut down that Buffalo offense with his defensive scheming. I think Zappe has a good chance to deliver a win
@dathorndike4908 doubtful. Buffalo is chomping at the bit and need the game.
Francisco Guzman and belichick favorite thing is denying teams from making it into the post season especially if they are division rivals
@@justindo881 get real dude. This team is gonna get a dose of reality on sunday in a meaningless game. They should have lost to denver. No point in winning these games.
All of the "cons" you say about Zappe are things that can be overcome with some more experience. Remember he has less than a dozen NFL starts. He is still learning. Any young QB is gonna make mistakes and be inconsistent from time to time. The key thing is he is learning and not making those same mistakes over and over. You can actually see him improving every single week.
Well said! You understand nfl football! 🫡🙏🏾
I mean his biggest con is he will never have elite or even average arm strength. That will always be a limitation and cap his upside
@@Valyr1on C'mon have you waatched any of those games. Zappe can zip it in there with the even less talent than Mac.
@@LAKEVILLEMA Yes I have and that’s not a high bar he’s clearing lol
@@Valyr1on Bet you were crying nobody could win with the talent Mac had yet here we are with half the talent and Zappe's winning.
I'm gonna say this, he ain't the practice type of guy, Turn the lights on he SHINES
Ppl don't understand that Zappe is a gamer, just like Tebow and if the game plan is made around him, I think he does really well in that system... I been a fan since seeing him play last year and my eye test never really lets me down... And Pharaoh Brown is a real good, tight end. I love his attitude, his play style, blocking and the way he runs with the ball. I hope we keep him for a while...
💯
I think Z, like the back/ups before him (Garappolo, Brissett…) was brought in to be developed.
Mel Kiper of ESPN had Zappe ranked as the 7th best QB in the 2022 NFL draft
Bingo!
I’ve believed in zappe since Mac went down with that ankle injury. He’s ready to play
Mac was always the problem it’s not too late to keep our goat coach and run it back next year with an upgraded roster
This is exactly what I am hoping for! Great comment!
I'm not on the Zappe bandwagon yet, but I'm walking along side it trying to see what's going on up there. Agreed it's too soon to count him out.
Bailey zappe has less to work with than mac had, he uses his receiver's like they should, he is throwing into tight 🪟 and making his receiver's look good, he can scramble, run and evade DBs, I have videos wayyyy back saying he was gonna be good
Yes ! He does all of that! And he is just developing! He will get better !!
I was saying the same thing last year. I wanted Zappe to keep the starting job last year once I saw him play a couple of games. I believe he can be developed!
How the hell did he win with no OL and no WR.
That's funny!
This always happens. Every time I’m right about people, I have to slowly watch everyone else…sloooowly come around then finally admit what was obvious from the start.
This is what smart people go through all the time. This is the curse of the genius.
These simpletons look at us like we are the crazy ones.In their minds majority rules and dismiss the facts even when the truth is transparent.People just don't think for themselves or analyze and for opinions based off of facts.I thought it was very clear that Zappe was someone with serious potential that has the intangibles that EVERY successful NFL QB has.Poeple were making excuses for Jones with no merit.It sucks it took so long but it's nice to watch Zappe percivere!
Zappe is him.
we’ve been saying this since last season zappe feverr ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Bailey has traits that you want in a QB. One is that pocket presence, the ability to climb the pocket. He has the ability to feel pressure in the pocket. His down field vision is great. If I had to say he reminds me of anyone, it's like a cross between Brett Favre and Drew Breeze. He is getting way better and I think he is the guy that saves BBs job. I'm stoked with the classic BB style game winning drive with 2 seconds left. He is becoming one in his own. Go Patriots, Beat the Bills!
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ I respesct you because Ive heard you say hes not the guy many times weeks before and repeat the same thing the mac loving zappe hating media was saying. Now your thinking with your own mind and using your own eyes and having an open mind. Ive been rooting for Zappe since he took over last season it was clear he was special and much better than Mac. HE IS A STARTER HE IS A WINNER AND LEARNS VERY FAST. Bailey gives Brady and Brees mixed!
People are gonna shit they're pants when he knocks off the Bills in Buffalo ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ Hes our guy!! Idc about a caleb, or jaden, or may I want Zappe leading this team!
I agree with your comment!
The Boston media forgets to tell you in the last game only 70% of the Reps on Offense did not play and 52% of the defense did not play in week one. How is anyone going to win with that many original players gone?
I agree Belichick played way to conservative in 3rd and 4th quarter had he opened it up they would have blown them out.
I agree you drop him in the Niner offense and he shines with that roster. Although most qbs would shines with that team.
Just get a good receiver in the draft.
All I can say is see what they do on the offseason and try again. Was hoping for a breakout game. But instead he let us down
Zappe would look like he in college again if he had purdy team
That whole "small" bullshit argument I feel is a prejudice that people like bdard and and felger throw out there that has nothing to do with actual desire. I feel that taller people have an attitude problem. Mac had that attitude problem. I prefer players that have desire. plus Mac felt that he was simply better and when it came to game day he wasn't the competitor Brady was.
I say use that 75million to rebuild the line, resign some players and get the best offensive non quarterback player with the first pick, give em a year let's see what he can do
Can't trust what the Boston sports media folks has to say about Zappe. They're either too jaded after Brady or Mac apologists
Talk to the Atlanta falcons fans they thought Ridder was there guy at the beginning of the season now he’s on the bench. That’s what Zappe is
Falcons organization is not on the same level as the pats organization!
Zappe deserves a chance! Thats all his supporters are asking for!
No one has a crystal ball! You definitely don’t!
Give the kid a fair chance!
How did your evaluation of Mac work out?
@changingworldllc1157 zappe blows dude.
lol, how so?
@@changingworldllc1157 first let’s take the competition he has face. Against a competent QB we lose that game in Pittsburgh. Also what has he done these second halfs. I don’t think he has a great arm. Seems like belichick has protected him at times. I think he’s a decent backup but not starting material.
@@changingworldllc1157 they ruined Mac jones and never gave him any support. His rookie year he was a nfl top 100. He had accomplishment in the nfl.
No he's not the guy but he has proven himself to be quality backup QB.
Mac Jones "accurate"????????????????
Right.... I'm like where? That man missed a wide open hunter Henry in the end zone. A short 20-yard throw and he threw it right in the hands of the defense. If I saw that I knew what he was in an actuality I knew he was from jump Street and that's not a guy that I want as my quarterback at all.
Lmao! Right!
mans unaccurte asf Zappes actually acurate
The idea that a first round qb is the answer is completely ridiculous!
Any first rounder qb will need to sit for 1-2 years !
The raiders just beat the chiefs with a back up qb and didn’t even throw the ball!
So what does this tell us!!
It tells us you don’t need a top 3 qb to beat a top 3 qb!
What the patriots need is a better defense and one good/great wr!
Very simple! Trade down and get 2 first rounders! DL and CB
Pick up a proven wr via trade and the patriots are completely reloaded and ready for a Super Bowl!
I guarantee it!
Don't forget the oline we need a left tackle badly
@@kylerush7948 might have to trade for that position. We need a dog ready to rumble with nfl experience. 2nd round will have OL we can take and develop. The OL is getting better every week. But I agree with you. We definitely need OL and that could be more important.
@changingworldllc1157 I think we could trade for a dog but I like the guy from Penn state at left tackle, we need a Walter Jones, a matt light, Ryan Clady at left tackle, leave the mauler for the right side. I like onwenu but he'll want alot, sow is doing awesome at guard, love andrews but idk how long he's got, strange is getting better, left tackle is a crap shoot right now and we need that no matter how belichick feels about the tackle position. What about jonah Williams? I mean I love Tyrone Smith but he's 34, he's got some time but we need a guy who will be there for ten to fifteen. Honestly if mhr is there at 4, take him and develop a tackle in the second. If not, take a tackle and get a wideout. Also I love barmore and wise, white is getting better but guy is probably gone and gotchex or whatever his name is will be gone to, we need a nose tackle that can play the zero in 34 and the 1 tech in our weird 423 thing. Maybe a backer and if a corner drops to the 3rd or 4th, take him but the offense needs dire help first
@@kylerush7948 you knw this team well! Wow! I agree!! Great comment! I see your pov 🫡🙏🏾
@changingworldllc1157 just a student of the game, I played oline and dline and just love football, my grandpa was like that as well just with the broncos
WTF you talking about not accurate ! Did you miss the throw to JuJu Smithchuster down the sideline ? He put that ball where only Ju Ju could get it !
You mean the throw to Parker?
@@PatsCastNews Ya , sorry it was Parker , he caught a couple actually and how about that dart to Gesicki in the back of the end zone , ya , Zappe has the accuracy , I think better than Jones actually!
Zappe is average - which makes him look like a superstar compared to Mac Jones. He cannot be the guy - was not drafted to be the guy - and was cut from the roster. He has a weak arm - and cannot make all the throws at the NFL level. He lacks size and cannot throw over big linemen. Pats generally have gone for guys with big arm talent. And this is what they should continue to do.
What he can do is move a little - he has good feel - he can throw with some accuracy. He knows how to play football. All the things we thought Mac Jones could do. Pats should draft a QB and they should keep BB. But BB is going to win out with Zappe as a FU to the Krafts who jammed Jones down his throat and then fired him for Jones bad play.
They said the same shit about Doug Flutie
Pure hate! Zappe is not anyone else! Stop the hate!
I know your not advocating to make bailey i dont know who the hell your are zappe the quarteback of the patriots. Um hell no.
Sorry not a zapster. I believe he‘s a backup QB at best.
