I'm rooting for the kid, but Zappe's in about the best spot he could be in. Had a bad second half against Chicago but Mac made everyone completely forget about him and they'll still be chanting his name this weekend.
How's the saying go? Leave them wanting more?
He's got potential and he still hasn't even had a full offseason the way Mac has to get stronger, and he's under contract long enough where they're in no rush and he could very well push for the job if the next nine weeks don't show much promise for Jones. Hopefully, it works out, but if it doesn't, at least we're not sitting here panicking about who they could take in April...yet
