Brissett was a project when we drafted him.. he had great athletic ability, and was projected to be developed behind brady. He's been at multiple stops and had to learn different offenses. I don't think people are proclaiming He's an all pro.. he's a veteran that's a steady hand and can run the AVP offense and be a mentor to Drake. Zap is what he is.
Spot on. That's excellent correct. Zapp will earn his opportunity just like the other QB'S. However his potential IMO isn't anywhere near a starter in the NFL .
Brissett knows AVP's system so that's one of the reasons they ignored better vets in Free Agency. Maybe you could start another thread about it.
Camp can't get here soon enough!
Zappe doesn’t “deserve” anything. He has to earn what he gets and all he’s earned so far is a pink slip last summer and probably another one before the season
Not if the team was leery of having Maye as #2 until the OL is stable and decent. Brissett could go down on day one, in the first quarter, in the first minute. And now you're throwing the future of the franchise, a rookie that needs more time to cook, behind an OL which is unproven. I believe that's what they are thinking. Zappe is not a starter, he's a backup, and that's why he is on the roster: to protect Maye should Brissett go down until we know what we have in the OL and until his development has progressed enough to give the brain trust confidence that he is ready. They might carry 3 QBs, but only if Milton goes to the PS.
Actually I'm excited for camp. I always get up for training camp.. seeing how our teams come together year in year out.. I used to go to camp but it's just to many people, hot and uncomfortable..
Meh.
I think they're similar. Both are journeyman. Both NFL quality backups. "Tad better" than ok is still just ok. Both have flaws in their game that harden their ceilings. Both are fine in the short term but doubtful either gets you to the playoffs. Hoyer was more aggressive than Brissett and by nature of any aggressive QB that can lead to turnovers but also bigger plays.
I'd rather have a QB that can hit big plays with the occasional turnover than a QB who can't and has no turnovers.
Drake says hey I just signed! Gaw lee.. LOL
AVP wanted a guy he knew, and who knew the offense, and who could mentor Maye. Zappe didn't check any of those boxes. But if Jakoby gets hurt in the first part of 2024, our best guy to throw in there is Zappe, not either of the two rookies. And next year, Zappe would be a better value as the #2 QB than Brisette, making millions less. Milton is a nice project until he starts affecting who goes to the practice squad, who gets cut etc., in order to keep him.
That's a terrible take. And if you're telling me you'd rather have Hoyer than Brissett you need to have your head examined. Turnovers are team killers, after points turnovers are the most important stat in football.
I didn't say turnover prone I said the occasional turnover. Defending against QB's who hit big plays is what keeps defense coordinators up at night a lot more than a guy throwing short taking the safe play and relying on receiver YAC. Not hard to see that the latter keeps interceptions down but doubtful they can win games on their own.
6.61 yards per pass attempt is nothing special at all.
