[Article] Should BB and BK trade Zappe?

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Unless someone offers a 2nd or higher this is a easy one. He's on a cheap 4th RD contract so a 3rd isn't worth it when your starter has missed games recently. Trading him for anything but a 2nd is a lateral or bad move in our circumstances.

Whats Hoyer doing?

Jacoby Brisket. BOB would know of plenty of backups.

But we have a good cheap backup, why trade him to get another?

As a move of confidence that would end the Zappe chanting. Kraft hears it and don't like it.

I don't think you trade Zappe until you see how Mac Jones responds over the course of this season.

1. Mac's pass protection will be worst than last season.
2. Mac's most reliable receiver (Meyers) was replaced by JuJu (who is already injured).
3. Mac now has a history of responding poorly to adversity and cracking under pressure.

Even if you love Mac Jones the odds are against him.

Yeah there's no point trading Zappe right now unless the team is blown away with a can't refuse offer for him in return like a 2nd rounder. Doubtful they'll get such an offer.

That's up to Mac whether he hears those chants or not. If he's great there won't be any chants. If he sucks, he'll hear them.

I thought they were chanting Matty or Fatty both for Patricia.

I thought it was Boo-urns.

Excellent Simpsons reference. Bravo!

On Zappe - cheap, rookie deal, has filled in and did well. In fact, well enough to push Mac - which is a good thing. Mac right now is the QB, so he needs to learn to handle everything that comes with that. All in all, no real negatives here.

I think the chanting would still happen for whoever is back up qb to a certain degree although probably less as it's as much a reflection in peoples lack of confidence in Mac as it is in Zappe.

Was there chanting for Brady when Bledsoe lost.

No

The "Zappe Delusion" was ridiculous. He's shown hardly anything. He played against the 4 worst teams on our schedule, with an overtly biased OC who changed the offense for him and caught a couple teams off guard. But then completely choked against the worthless Bears in his 4th game. He's not bad. But we have no idea if he's good either. Is he better than Stidham? Who knows. But, no team is going to trade a 2nd for him, and why would BB even want that yet. On the plus side - he's shown poise and some skill, and has 1.5 years under his belt now, so he's a better backup than almost anyone available, so it only makes sense to keep him this year and see what happens.

No

That's my point, it is more a reflection of peoples confidence in Mac i believe. I think people liked Bledsoe more then than they do Mac now

Trolls go to the games.

And their money feeds the team as well as anyone’s.

so what?

The point was that Brady was an unknown just like the Pats new 2nd string QB if Zappe is gone.

Zappe is undefeated to date.

Which unknown back up do you suggest?
