Bailey Zappe is a likely cut by KC: do you know what time it is? [Update: He's been cut]

[One-If-By-Sea]

How is that different than any other night? I'm on my 2nd bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios after 3 generous pours of a 12 year Scotch.

Cheerio and scotch, the English and the Scots. Good pair.

Pats are done with Zappe. They are not bringing him back.
I think Dobbs is much better than he showed in preseason. Vrabel has full confidence in him

 

[Hammer of Thor]

I would be trying to send NYG a 7th for Tommy DeVito. They’re probably gonna cut him anyway. They could claim him, but they might be beaten by one of the three teams ahead of them. Unlikely, but worth a 7th.

The good news is that one of the 3 teams ahead of the Pats in the waiver order are the Giants.

That leaves the Titans — who have Cam Ward and Brandon Allen as backup (he has previous experience as a backup with Brian Callahan in Cincinnati), and Trevor Semien as well — and the Browns who are currently rumored to be keeping 4 QBs. So the only risk are the Titans. Would they claim DeVito to be a 3rd QB on the 53 man roster? There’s not a 0% chance, but I don’t think it’s high enough (and DeVito is really good enough) to warrant flipping a pick for.

World Peace has to start somewhere.

That's what I tell my boss at work. I'm much better than I showed this week at work.

It doesn't fly.

We could have had the best backup QB perhaps in the whole league if we had double dipped at QB after Drake. Spencer Rattler fell all the way to the fifth round, largely because of how he had acted five years earlier on some tv show.

He matured mightily, especially after Caleb Williams supplanted him as the starter at Oklahoma and he transferred to the Gamecocks of South Carolina.

His last year he had a godawful OL. UNC's with Maye were like the freakin' 1970s Steriod Steelers by comparison.

Spencer Rattler is neck and neck to be the Saints QB1 with the 25 year old rookie Wonder Boy the Saints drafted early in the second round. Tyler Shough I think his name is.

Do you think I should get a huge Spencer Rattler tattoo on my back like Roger Stone has of Nixon?

Re . Dobson. He has been bad in preseaon but with a very small saple size. For past 4-5 years he has been a decent backup.
I trust Vrabel likes what he sees in practice.

 

[Zuma]

Titans are going to cut either Trevor Siemian or Will Lewis. Both are better than Dobbs.

Edit: bummer Titans QB Will Levis will have season-ending shoulder surgery

Good points. Might be a chance some other team would trade for him but not a high chance. I would prefer O’Connell though, if he really is an option.

 

[JoeSixPat]

I can imagine Vrabel having cut QBs in for a look-see in case he needs someone mid-season, but there's only going to be 2 QBs on the roster, and that's Dobson at this stage.

If Maye goes down he'll either elevate from the practice squad or go out and sign someone - but at that stage I'm not expecting to see this team go on a Brady-esque run with a backup a la the Bledsoe era.

They'd want someone good enough to be able to see what they've got among the rest of the team and be zen with getting a higher pick.

 

[Thelonious]

Zappe was at least a notch below Mac. But both were a headache and we should be thankful they're gone.

LOL. I didn't get the headache, but I did feel a little queasy when they played.

 

[jimnance]

I was just going to post that...I prefer Zappe to what we have currently as Backups.

Zappe sucks. But I have to agree with you. Just shows how bad our backup qbs are

 

[rogerthat]

I would absolutely take Zappe as a backup on this team. He's has more success in this league than most backups.

 

[Sfpat]

O'Connell broke his wrist. Doubt the Pat's will be trading for him.

What's Cam Newton doing?

Edit: Fashion week you say? Never mind...

No cuts officially from the Chiefs yet but I'd think Zappe will be on the list headed to their PS.

Pats are in a good spot to grab him on the waiver wire if they want to.

 

[Grogan14]

I doubt Vrabel is bringing back a BB draftee

Why waste the roster spot right now. Let the chiefs put him on their practice squad then after week 1 or 2 when we have to put someone on IR we can just claim whoever the best PS QB is wether that's Zappe or someone else. Makes sense to use the extra roster spot for now unless something significantly better than Zappe presents itself.

Doesn't the QB need time to learn the offense?
