This is where we gather to follow things on Game Day. Obviously, emotions tend to be high so if anyone gets a little crazy, the use of the “Mute” button is encouraged on anyone who may be annoying to you to control your experience and to allow the moderators to also enjoy the game.
At the same time, please take a deep breath before over-reacting for the sake of making this a pleasant experience for everyone.
What I mean is it started out as a small minority (including myself) that believe Meyers is not a guy who should get the most touches and needs to slide down the totem pole. Not only are people hoping on the train, but they are taking it to another level suggesting to trade him. I’m in the camp of keeping him, but I’d like to see him in more of a Jabar Gaffney or Amendola type role.
Agreed. He shouldn't be your WR1 but suggesting that he weakens patriots receiver position and has nothing to offer when all that he has done is getting better and better each season. God forbid they trade him and we lose our safety valve , all naysayers would reverse their opinions and blame belichick for trading ...
Rare concession by you. I've often wondered how you feel when some draft pick or free agent pick up does well after you've publicly predicted they will fail miserably. Do you feel embarrassed -- or just happy to be wrong? Do you learn from those mistakes?
Drew Brees has 571 TDs and over 80,000 passing yards. Drew Lock has 21 NFL starts. It's pretty safe to say Zappe has zero potential to be Drew Brees. He also probably has little potential of reaching 21 career starts.
Do me a favor and give me a week by week rundown of who is going to win?
He obviously doesn't give his coverage Myles of space, eh captain?
So you actually believe Zappe has the potential for 500 career TD passes? And there's obviously a huge difference between picking all games and projecting the potential of a single player. An undersized rookie quarterback with a modest arm on a team already with a franchise quarterback entering year two.
I think he has the potential to do whatever Brees did physically, but if he becomes 60/70% of Brees he’ll still be a good or serviceable QB in the league. He could also crash and burn and stink up the joint. Only one of us is pretending to know the future.
Only one of us is being realistic.
I can picture you in 2000 telling me a 6th round pick on a QB is wasteful because it’s unrealistic.
I'm ok with a backup quarterback being taken in the late 6th round. Also, you're talking about the luckiest pick in the history of life. In the sports world Brady is literally a unicorn with magical powers (as you like to say).
Yeah... he had magic powers, he wasn't just a talented guy put in the best situation possible.
I like Meyers a lot, unfortunately that doesn't mean much in contract negotiations.
The team was 5-13 with Brady holding a clipboard. The $100 million dollar quarterback was taking the franchise nowhere.
Let's please move on from this discussion. If there's anything about the first pre season game you'd like to discuss or add, please do so, but otherwise this isn't the place to be carrying this particular debate.
