Rc2catch Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 It’s not fun until their fans start fighting over who should start each week. Maybe swap them each series 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 My two cents are that it was always going to be a near impossible task to be the first guy to replace Brady. That is what Mac is trying to do. Zeppe on the other hand has zero pressure. He's not the guy trying to replace Brady. That may help him. But Mac was always very limited physically. If he doesn't pan out it won't be a shock. I haven't watched any of Zeppe but I won't be holding my breath to find out if he is a Allen or Mahomes type QB. Don't think I need to worry there. And QB's aside, the Bills roster is better than the Patriots at nearly every group. There is a reason why we haven't punted against them in two games. 30 minutes ago, JDubya76 said: But Lil Mac is a top 100 player. I iz r sew confoosed. Zeppe is top 80 already apparently.

Bubba Gump Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Lmao, 6'0 Bailey Zappe vs 6'4" Tom Brady? No similarities whatsoever. Except maybe they both can't run. This kid will be wrecked by the end of the year. He is def no Drew Brees. NE is stuck in the mud for the foreseeable future. Zach Wilson will be better than anything NE has. Wasn't is this off season that everyone was saying Mac Jones was the next Tom Brady??? Give me a break. And who in the ***** names their son Bailey??? Ok for a girls name or a dog, but come on, really??? You're gonna name your son Bailey? Love to meet his patents. Were prolly expecting to become a professional golfer.

Mac Jones had a string of games from ~week 7 to 12 last season where, as Coach McDermott put it "show me someone else who is playing better" - he looked good.

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I see the Zappe era ending the same way that the Mike White era ended for the Jets. The Bills come to town and destroy the upstart phenom and he is never heard from again. No happy ending for Kraft surprisingly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigotz Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Nothin better than watching Pats fans throw Mac to the curb after anointing him the chosen one last season.

We're discussing the Patriots QB sitch here, not the Bills win.

Success Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 It's kind of hilarious how Jones was the 2nd coming of Brady all offseason (to Pats fans), he throws a few picks to start the season, Zappe plays well in relief - and now they're talking about Jones in a possible trade and how Zappe looks just like Brady from 2001.

Unless they get really lucky again, they will. BB is too good of a coach to lose enough games to draft a top QB. His way of winning with a mediocre guy isnt good enough in todays NFL to win anything meaningful. That team is going to be where the Bills were in the drought probably until Belichick retires and the team tanks and rebuilds. Im really surprised Belichick didnt retire. I get that he probably wanted to prove something post Brady era but its not going to happen. He doesnt have to prove anything. The guy was and still is one of the best coaches ever. Coaching alone just isnt good enough in todays NFL. You need a star QB. They have a couple decent ones but thats not good enough.

BullBuchanan Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 20 hours ago, ChicagoRic said: He's a serviceable starter for now. It's always interesting to see if a young player can stay productive as the game tape starts to accrue. He does look a bit better than Mac Jones, but can he maintain it. See: Gardner Minshew Minshew isn't a great example. He's progressed every year. He just had the unfortunate circumstance to play in the dumpster fire of Jacksonville. He isn't blessed with all world athleticism, but he could very well have a Taylor/McCown/Fitzpatrick sort of career trajectory ahead of him. He's got 41-12 TD/INT an increasing completion percentage and had a monster game for Philly last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are tied for 31st in points allowed with Seattle. The only team that has allowed more points is Detroit. Unless those points allowed were offensive turnovers resulting in TDs, I just don't see it. BYE weeks account for some of it, but thats only 4 teams.

(Try not to laugh) but I see a bit of very early Brady in him. Not the goat Brady - the Brady that was more of a game manager in 2001. Patient, calm in the pocket, smart decisions. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mac doesn’t hit the starting rotation again. He is 19/27 for 256 yards and 2 TD’s today. honk honk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
