Grier is the most unknown of the 3 but you're almost certainly right. He's 28 and hasn't played any meaningful football since Brady was our QB so I wouldn't expect much either. Zappe hasn't shown anything positive since the Bears game so I wouldn't expect much there either. Choosing between these guys is like choosing to get kicked in the head or kicked in the gut. Both aren't great experiences.

Or like when the 3 Stooges had the choice of either being burned at the stake or having their heads chopped-off... Moe & Larry chose the latter but Curley chose the former; when asked why, he answered Because a hot stake's better than a cold chop...

They have definitely missed Uche's speed off the edge when he missed some games and while he's been playing injured.

It's good to have a power rusher like Judon and Jennings on one side, but Uche gets there quickly.

Frankly the way this season has gone, his production doesn't bother me because maybe they get him back on a reasonable new deal in the offseason.

Devito's seen stranger hands.

Ya know who else has weird hands, especially for someone who supposedly was hot once? Sarah Jessica Parker.

I’d like to see Zappe play. The offense under 10 is constipated. It seems like it has no identity or purpose, but when Zappe played it there seemed to be a plan.
There was a comment by a reporter today that if Zappe plays at least you know he will follow the coaching.
As I watch film I see 10 not throw to the guy the play is designed for, either because he isn’t staying on the read long enough or just abandons it for a check down.
The more I watch the more I see a qb who simply doesn’t get it, and the
result is you can’t call effective plays because they don’t get run as designed.
Last year toward the end of the season we started throwing screens all day, and I think that’s because it’s the only way to get 10 to execute properly.
Who can't throw a screen pass though might as well just hand it off. For the record I call him check down Mac its makes his stats look good. Check downs also make it looks like he has a quick release. The deceptive Mac Jones. :rolleyes:

His production might be tied to our offense hardly ever scoring enough to force the other team to go pass happy. Teams are often in run-the-clock mode way early against us.
