Zappe cut by Browns (Update: re-signed!)

[Pape]

And we're starting Maye... Browns playing checkers, we're playing ... I dunno, whats easier than checkers?

(EDIT: so far we have: Old Maid, Tiddlywinks, Tic Tac Toe (and losing), Candy Land... keep em coming lol )



And good on Zappe, getting the start... Maybe that 17.5 spread is warranted afterall...

doug pederson made nick foles look all world in philly... can't do jack **** with mac jones... not sure if thats an indictment of pederson or jones...

maybe they both just suck ass

He kinda broke Trevor Lawrence.

He kinda broke Trevor Lawrence.

Lawrence has not fulfilled his promise. After the mess that was Urban Meyer he seemed headed in the right direction when Peterson joined the team only to regress. It is hard to tell if it is coaching or other teams figured him out ala Mac. Or, maybe Mac broke him, LOL.

Wentz regressed badly under him too.

Fair point. I feel that the QB whisperer label is more luck than ability. While coaching clearly plays a role, QB's like Mac, Wentz and maybe Lawrence look good until the opposition figures them out. Maye's initial success without much help is a good omen for the future. We will find out more next year.

I actually think who coaches a young qb is important. In the long term they teach them the thought process, how to read a defense, see disguise, and drill in the correct response to what they see to imprint quick decision making by it being a natural response rather than a thought process.
In the short term some OCs can design game plans to hide a QBs weaknesses (McD with Mac) but before long that is exposed.

For example Brady was far ahead of other QBs with the intellectual part and the speed of processing. A “genius” in those areas can help young QBs become stronger at it, and ultimately it’s the most valuable trait.


On the other hand you have a guy like Gruden who takes the timing of the WCO to an extreme and teaches his QBs to always take the quick pass and they rarely learn how to read down the field opportunities.

Future HoF QB Bailey Zappe will put on a laser show for all you haters.

No arguments with your logic, I agree. My point is that you describe a competent coach who, like any teacher, is only successful with a pupil who is capable and willing to put in the work. QB whisperers are competent coaches who have talented players to work with. Shanahan's 49ers went no where until Jimmy G showed up, JMD's efforts with Mac and Cam could not overcome their limitations. The opposite side of the coin is that young QB's can be derailed by bad coaching, aka Sam Darnold.

While not as obvious this competent coach dynamic is not limited to QB. The universal truth is that good coaches get the most out of a players capability, bad coaches prevent players from reaching their potential.

Won’t surprise me if he plays better than Dorian Thompson-Robinson, he stinks.

 

[Grogan14]

Browns know the right way to tank. Starting Zappe gives them a sot at top draft pick.
Pats should do the same with Milton.

Wind speeds are gonna be close to 20mph sustained at game time and easing up as the game goes along. As much as I'd like to see the Ravens get Zapped for many reasons, chances are not the usual 33% May be closer to 20% for this game, especially since there may be tanking shenanigans. He knows this might be his last chance to start, though.

Am I reading that right? 4 Pats drafted QBs are starting this weekend?

Just gonna put extra zip on his passes. Zappe is one with the wind

 

[signbabybrady]

What do you think his record will be without Bill?

 

[Jim Beankie]

Zappe did way too well on his only throw (21yds), so they went with 3 straight runs. Have to keep the tank intact.
