If you’re old school, Bob’s a great follow
I forgot that Babe Parilli was only 6-0 and biggest guy on team was 270

I think you missed the part where I said one good half is now enough for me to want Zappe the rest of the way and not Mac. My point is that Mac got as many opportunities as he got not just because he was picked 15 but also because his competition didn't warrant sitting someone you invested so much in. Hopefully he has improved since getting cut during Camp cut downs and those hundreds of snaps but while one half is enough for me to give him the last 4 games he still has a long way to go before I actually agree he's improved.I’m not sure why people don’t realize that Zappe needed to develop and improve and that is done by practicing and playing. He’s a better football player today that he was in august because he’s had almost a full season of practice time and almost 200 snaps.
It’s not mutually exclusive to say he hadn’t proven himself by august but at least to some degree has now.
And it is nowhere near too soon to give up on 10. A player who isn’t able to execute plays the way they are designed can’t play. He isn’t given up on because of results, he is given up on because of how he plays.

A couple of notes from yesterday in case you missed these:

A note on Watt
Oh right exactly but now it's overI was referring to this
Had he not shown what he did Thursday by then I probably would have wanted to see Mac one more time.
I mean he was a first Rd pick why give up on it too soon.
I totally get your point regarding exhausting options for Mac - especially after that huge tease of a game against the Bills. My hook for starting was a few games back (maybe even the Bears game...), but in BB's shoes, I get it. I probably would've done the same thing knowing as soon as I sit Mac, there's really no going back, as Mac looks like he'd be into extreme self flagellation.I think you missed the part where I said one good half is now enough for me to want Zappe the rest of the way and not Mac.

I like Curran.Good read:
Curran: Patriots' stirring upset still shouldn't change the endgame
Patriots players badly needed Thursday’s win in Pittsburgh, but the result shouldn’t impact the reality facing Bill Belichick and his 3-10 squad.www.nbcsportsboston.com
