Bailey Zappe in the Red Zone Sunday Night and This Season

[Ian]

He's been solid thus far when they get into the red area:

 

[Ross12]

I think BOB has been really good in the red zone but Mac Jones was dogshit. Zappe is not dogshit and is actually executing the play calls instead of ****ting his pants throwing red zone INTs and this is the result.

 

[Huckleberry1]

Those are really good numbers.

He's also much better at scrambling and keeping his cool until he finds an open guy.

That TD where he found Gesicki was reminiscent of his TD pass to Thornton against the Browns last year. First read wasn't there and he hung in the pocket and made a great throw through traffic.

 

[varjao]

This is a QB who sees the field better than Mac and that is nothing new, last year there was signs

Why not Zappe? Seriously, why not? I love his demeanor, humble, follow directions from coaching, never complains and takes responsibility. Speaks well, good franchise man. Got kicked off the team and still has no regrets. I don't want no first round primadona, Seriously. Go ahead Zappe, keep proving yourself. To Me you are putting the ball in good spots. Obrien should pass the ball more, so dam conservative. We are done this year, put the kid thru the test, trust him. He is maturing well. Have Brady chat with him, hell he was a 6th rounder. When the last time you seen a qb put the team on his shoulders and win a road game? Maybe not a Superbowl caliber qb but in the process for sure. Now let's Beat Buffalo!

Agreed. But I’ll tell you why not.

Zappe doesn’t have the pedigree. He’s not a top QB from from a top football school. He wasn’t highly touted pre-draft. He wasn’t drafted high, only went in the fourth round. He‘s too short.

All he did was set the FBS season records for passing yards and passing touchdowns in his senior year.

so he can’t be a franchise QB.

I want to see more these next three games. If he performs well he is the QB to start next year with a rookie drafted relatively high.

If he is capable of being more than a bridge QB he’ll have the opportunity to prove it, hopefully with a bolstered supporting cast through the draft and free agency.

 

[Fubby]

Let’s calm down. Remember that the master talent evaluator cut him before the season started.

 

[VrabelJr]

He's also much better at scrambling and keeping his cool until he finds an open guy.

That’s the part about the ****ting of the pants Rick @Ross12 Da Sowce Bowse was referring to

Just the Emperor giving the rest of the league a chance before he steamrolls them all again

Theres only two games left but I agree let’s let him finish this season and start him week 1

Same guy who didn’t let Brady start his rookie season …. Imagine

 

[Salsalife]

so he can’t be a franchise QB.

Just like Tom Brady. He went in the 6th round, 199th pick. Sat the bench until Bledsoe got hurt. No one seen his coming either...

 

[Froob]

Zappe def not the most talented QB but he’s always had good composure in the pocket

 

[patsinthesnow]

Zappe's stats as a starter:

70.3% comp. pct.
1314 yards
9 TDs
3 INTs
102.7 rating
4-2 record

If he finishes strong he should be the bridge starter next season. Draft WR & OT high to ensure the next QB has a greater chance of success while also evaluating Zappe with a better supporting cast.

 

[Triumph]

I think BOB has been really good in the red zone but Mac Jones was dogshit. Zappe is not dogshit and is actually executing the play calls instead of ****ting his pants throwing red zone INTs and this is the result.

All with no OL, WRs, TEs and RBs.

Bill Belichick too

He has more than earned his shot, assuming a medium-short leash. As in, if he suddenly sucks, it's fielder's choice to yank him in favor of Malik or Jones... it wouldn't be a categorical blunder. But right now, he has earned the shot... his starts to lose!

 

[Ross12]

Belichick with a big hug with Zappe after the game. Was surprised by it.
