Exactly ! Please get it only Brady had continued success as a premier QB . Nobody else had which means coaching and team is important .
The best anyone else could come close to vrady were big Ben, eli and Peyton where defenses carried them and some magical QB plays. Mahomes has just 1 ring to show . So it's difficult to keep winning. We just hit the Powerball continuously for 2 decades . Get that !
I am okay if we are competitive and do not want to go the jets/colts/browns route. See how Denver is struggling after Peyton left.
Shanahan trying it all out with lance is such a big gamble which misfired when he had a functional QB in garopollo. That's a lesson for all of us .
Zappe and Mac are decent . Let's try to build around them . It might take a year or two . But that's the best chance we have got. Not everyone is so fortunate to have 2 above average rookie QBs.
If I come to office every day thinking I am gonna get fired no way am I gonna be able to do the work . Same is the case with Mac. Allow him the freedom to grow into the offense this year.
I am a big zappe supporter but I believe Mac needs more backing to show what's he got and that means at least 2 full seasons and one off-season.
Again I think I need to make this clear we need to see what Mac we are getting.
This isn’t a guy with raw physical tools who we drafted knowing there would be growing pains and steep learning curve.
This is a prayer who just about every GM said he’s the most pro ready he’s not going to drive the ball but he won’t lose you games and with a strong supporting staff can win and he has high football intelligence.
In the off-season. When he organized the work outs with the players and we saw him lose weight and he was laying off ice cream and we heard Tom house say his arm strength can improve with technique so he was working on that.
We were all optimistic especially coming off a strong rookie season where we saw really good clean football.
2022 Mac, I am seeing a guy who is not confident in either the play call, the protections the matchups.
Sometimes all three.
I am seeing a player who is being careless with the football and trying to fit the ball with multiple defenders in that area which is not close to his skill set.
I am seeing a guy who is getting happy feet before the defender is around his legs and I am seeing a guy who Vs throwing the pass away to live to the next down is taking a sack or making bad decisions with the footbal.
Now I know his entire offensive staff is gone from 2020.
I know that Matt Patricia Joe Judge and BB are kind of a a trifecta of a coordinator.
I know Patricia is calling and maybe the one designing plays for the first time in his coaching career and I know Joe Judge looked like a train wreck with the Giants and is now Macs QB whisperer,
However how bad can these coaches be.
I doubt anyone is telling him to throw without his back foot planted or with the terrible technique I am seeing in these balls that have lost power not gained and every pass to the sideline or really any pass I am holding my breath it’s not getting picked.
I think Mac needs a sports psychiatrist cause he’s regressing in all his previous strengths.
We could say sophomore slump?
However this more looks like he is the lesser of the 32 starting QBs in the NFL.
We need to find out quick who Mac is what is wrong how to fix it.
If we are trying to make a playoff push we can’t have the bad Mac.
Zappe is a much safer choice to not make self inflicting mistakes with his quick release and field awareness.
What are these Patriots are They playoff contenders or are we bottom of the AFC Cellar dwellers who reached on a QB coming from a school known for churning out jags at that position?
BB needs to figure out before next draft and if Mac or Bailey can be the guy if not find that guy.
Cause headcoaches without that guy don’t last long.
My Original point letting Mac play poor for two seasons is assnine.
He needs to fix this in the next three weeks or be benched permanently and be the next Josh Rosen or the long list of Alabama QBs who couldn’t cut it when the talent was even on opposing teams.
