We don't have a Rodgers holding down the fort this is far from the Green Bay situation. Stop confusing the two Franchises Favre - Rodgers and Love to the GOAT QB - Cam Newton - Mac/Zappe and Biscuit. Our QB situating have not been pretty after the GOAT.
Why do I think that's really how you look at your computer?
Guilty.
I’m confusing nothing, I didn’t bring up Green Bay, and if this is a holding down the fort year The Brisket is a perfect QB for it. Yes he’s boring, yes he is not going to win you any games, but you know what he is? Consistent and does the right thing. That’s HUGE for this year where a new coach, new OC, and lots of ??? about the rest of the team from the oline to young WRs means there are so many things to iron out. Give the entire team a chance to be evaluated and figure out who to keep and who to chuck as part of the long term plans for the franchise. It’s not going to be pretty, but with some patience and done right I think they could be back to a perennial playoff team for the next decade + as soon as next year. Just have to not rush Maye out there and ruin him.
With all due respect I disagree with the sit him for a year crowd if he's competent. IF he looks like he belongs in the Preseason games would you still sit him?? We gain nothing by playing Biscuit if Maye is competent.
And it’s fine to disagree. Yes I sit him at a MINIMUM for 4 games until I see in live action the Oline is opening holes in the run game and not allowing 5 free rushers a kill shot per game and that’s only if Maye kills it in preseason and leaves no doubt he is ready, which based on camp reports so far is not the case. If the line is the dumpster fire most are expecting then I want Brissett taking those shots. I do want Maye to get some live action experience this year so I wouldn’t sit him the entire year but until the bye? Sounds perfect.
Not only that, he's running a completely different and drastically simplified offense. Basically he's running a simple RPO offense.
Nobody with any brains paned the Tatum trade.
No doubt he'll be there by season opener if they give him the work, Already checked off 2 plays yesterday, it's not rocket science, of course he can.
Yep. Zappe never had the physical attributes or unusual throwing skills Milton has. The point most people were making about Zappe was that in fairness, given Mac's very uneven performance and Zappe's at least adequate performances in practice and in a couple of games, it might be justifiable, in keeping with the alleged policy that the best player plays, to start him to see what he could do. It was felt that he had earned that opportunity. I felt that he had, but I suspected and said at the time that it was unlikely would be able to show, even given that opportunity, that he could ever be an NFL starter, notwithstanding that I thought he had earned the opportunity to try. Such subtleties were of course lost in the general shouting match, the Great Zappe-Lover vs. Zappe-Hater wars of 2023. I don't think anybody believes that Milton is at all ready as matters stand to start on any basis as a way showing what he can do - he has not earned that - but I would certainly hold onto him for his intriguing upside. Zappe does not have and never did have anything like the same upside.
