Ok. 0.5 %I see it this way. 10 has proven to me there is a 0% chance he can be the answer.
While Zappe and Grier hold little hope they haven’t proven its 0% yet.

They're tankingI hear Mac Jones took snaps with the starters yesterday
Probably about that.Ok. 0.5 %
They're tanking
And then he throws into triple coverage.I thought Zappe gave the Patriots a better chance to win
That doesn’t mean he didn’t give us a better chance to win than 10, even in hindsight.And then he throws into triple coverage.
No. It’s sends a terrible message to the team. But I’m sure they already realize how dysfunctional it is anyways.
Jones gives us a better chance to win because he's the best QB on the roster. Which says more about the others than it does about him.That doesn’t mean he didn’t give us a better chance to win than 10, even in hindsight.
Not at that point in that game. In top of just plain sucking he was on the sidelines crying after handing the game away with one of the worst ints ever.Jones gives us a better chance to win because he's the best QB on the roster. Which says more about the others than it does about him.
The only time I can remember something like that working was with George Blanda for the Raiders in the early 1970s. The Raiders had a very good team at that point but Stabler wasn’t ready to start and Lamonica wasn’t effective in the 2 minute situation so this was extremely unique.Have you ever seen a football HC on any level, yank his QB right before a winning drive? That kind of move not only breaks the starting QB but puts an enormous amount of pressure on the backup who has to come in cold and pull off one flawless drive.
I agree that the decision should have been made long before that point.
We threw away a #15 pick QB before (Eason) because he was not the guy to bring the franchise forward. We twice threw away a #1 pick QB (Plunkett and Bledsoe) because they were not the answer to the team's problems. And for those who say "we had Brady" when talking about Bledsoe, remember that Brady was not yet TOM BRADY but as still only Tom Brady, if you get my point.an expendable employee. Damn.
anyway, no. You check variables, especially when you're throwing away a no. 15 overall pick if you're wrong.
Fixing the offensive coaching staff and reinforcing the O line should show us a big improvement. If not, he's crippled without mega spend at WR... and that's bad. Actually, he's got guys who could be pretty effective if he is effective, in terms of weapons. But throw in a shiny toy if you really want to test the "Mac can't play after freshman year" hypothesis.
I think you're just wrong. Last year's not his cieling. OTOH... <gulp>... it might not be his floor either.
BB and Co absolutely knew what they had in Brady when they sent Bledsoe to Buffalo. He needed more development but they knew that they had a special player.And for those who say "we had Brady" when talking about Bledsoe, remember that Brady was not yet TOM BRADY but as still only Tom Brady, if you get my point.
The case for Crack smoking.Both the anti-BB and pro-Zappe camps here are going to hate this, but I think this guy's video is a good presentation of reasons for optimism about Mac for next year:
