It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I figured they would at least flash to him to do the quick “there’s Mac Jones who lost the starting job” commentary, but I didn’t see him once.Where was Mac Jones? Did the camera show him once?
he was cut, and WANTED to come back to team afterwards...No doubt he’s mentally stronger. What he dealt with this training camp and how he responded to being cut shows that.
He knew Mac was toast. Kinda like we know Rob0 is toast.he was cut, and WANTED to come back to team afterwards...
It's been clear this year that Mac or one of his people is a source of his based on how hard he has been defending him.Curran post game doing all he can not to credit Zappe
Can't wait to see what Lazar has to say. Another Mac defender and Zappe hater.It's been clear this year that Mac or one of his people is a source of his based on how hard he has been defending him.
Same for O'Brien though not as obvious.
Now that we saw that Zappe can play a little bit we need to put Mac back in and secure that top 2 pick. It would be a disaster if we end up picking at the bottom of the top 10While I wanted a loss to secure our draft position as I was hoping for #1, beating the Steelers and making their insufferable fans cry is always so sweet.
We lost our cushion but we are still #2 so it's all good. That said, begs the question of why Belichick and O'Brien both thought Mac was better than Zappe when it was obvious last year he had the better QB qualities (confidence, pocket awareness, toughness, mechanics).
3 of those are league MVPs and super bowl winners, and the 4th is on track to be MVP this year.What does Brees, Russell Wilson, Brock Purdy and Mahomes have in common ? They are all 6'1 inch or shorter.
Why are people fixating on Zappe's height ? Some of the best QB's of the same height or shorter have had a lot of success in this league. If we feel Zappe will fail, it will be because of his arm strength and the team around him, not because of his height !!!!
I agree that those are all incredible players, my only point was that we should not focus on his height as a deterrent but instead on other factors . Let him play some more before we determine what are the positives and negatives about him.3 of those are league MVPs and super bowl winners, and the 4th is on track to be MVP this year.
You have to be *incredible* at the position to succeed if you're that short. Bailey Zappe isn't ever going to be a league MVP.
agree with all that, did we retain that draft pick? Nice surprise to wake up toWas Zappe better than Mac with less talent around him, I’d have to say yes.
Zeke was really good catching the ball today.
Bill still owns Tomlin.
Jennings is turning into a very solid edge defender.
Happy we won and maintained the #2 pick.
They did, saw him twice. Once off to the side and looking at a tablet, then again head down and walking the sideline somewhere. Wasn’t many around him in either shot, so off to side I assume.Where was Mac Jones? Did the camera show him once?
I believe so in regards to the draft pick.agree with all that, did we retain that draft pick? Nice surprise to wake up to

I gotta admit, I’m not a Zappe fan, but his passes seem to have a lot more zip to them them Macs. At least that what my eyes are telling me
Well then, an excellent night then, in a season full of garbage!I believe so in regards to the draft pick.
But... if we want to keep it ... we need to put Mac Jones back in as asoon as possibile !!!Well then, an excellent night then, in a season full of garbage!
