Why Cut Zappe?

[patman12]

Good enough for the champs

Kind of apples and oranges, no? He’s on the PS, not the 3rd QB on their active roster.

 

[Jim Beankie]

Last thing I will say for the foreseeable future abt Zap is that he didn't have Rham for his 6 starts last year (except a small part of the 1st start / Chargers game). As we saw today, that makes a huge f'ing difference.

[Book closes on Zap for Beankie.]

Zappe could win a SB or two(not far-fetched) as the starter.

Zappe is the 3rd QB on the Chiefs, behind Carsen Wentz. With the new PS rules you don't need to carry 3 QBs on the active roster.

Thanks for the clarification. Point still holds, he’s carrying a clipboard and the only way he sees the field is if everything goes wrong at QB for KC.

The clarification is incorrect. The emergency #3 QB (who cannot play unless both others are injured) must be on the 53 -man roster and cannot be an elevation from the Practice Squad. Even if that could be done, a player can only be elevated twice.

Who?

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

Zappe is the 3rd QB on the Chiefs, behind Carsen Wentz.

...I have a lot of trouble accepting anyone...anyone being considered below Carson Wentz.

For me it's a tossup between Wentz and Mac Jones.


And Zappe is light years better than both.

Either way. It wouldn't matter if he was a starter, a reliever, or riding the pine as QB2, they'd say the same thing. A QB2 is an important cog on a SB winning team. Anyway, it's a hypothetical, but as a member of the Chiefs it's possible if Wentz gets hurt. But no matter what happens, if KC wins the SB I'm calling him "SBC Bailey Zappe."

I smell some fish...

I wonder what other experienced QBs are on other practice squads?

I’m sure if Mike McDaniels doesn’t know that at this moment he will know it before breakfast…

 

[BillyD90123]

You care because not knowing the system will mess with our receivers heads, especially since the core are 1st and 2nd year players.

This offense needs a rhythm. Why set that back.

I think Bailey had enough of the Patriots nonsense.

"Bailey Zappe - lure him from Kansas City’s practice squad. Chiefs coach Andy Reid is one of the NFL’s best quarterback evaluators, so if he takes an interest in the player, it’s worth paying attention to."

Wait a sec. I was told many times by the experts here that he is a total garbage player who does not belong in the NFL. Andy Reid is a clown!

He has nothing to do with me.

I read this Bedard screed, and it can't get over how dumb it is. He's barely coherent.

I was not going to say anything till I saw this. Thanks for confirming what I felt.

No one is a clown for ANY signing to their 16-man Practice Squad. Zappe is capable of the throwing for the scout team or helping the 2nd stringers practice.

The issue is whether he is capable of being an active NFL QB, a backup #2 QB, or even an emergency #3. Personally, I could see teams having him as their #3 so that they can have an emergency QB if there both QBs are injured. I would note that to be an emergency QB a player must first be on the 53-man roster.

If I'm reading the PS rules correctly, that elevation can happen on gameday without taking a spot of the 53, if necessary, if the first two active QBs are unable to play.

 

[PancakeBlockPaul]

I’m curious as to what would happen today if both Brisket and Maye went down. Thought I read Milton was inactive. I don’t really want to find out tho…

 

[rogerthat]

We have not heard the last from Zappe. He's an NFL QB with 8 career starts who has showed flashes of being good; and he's still young. He will get another chance at some point.

I wish it were here. I would so much rather watch Zappe than Brissett.
