Going outside the building for advise. I thought that was frowned upon.

One must be tremendously disingenuous to suggest Warner commenting on Zappe’s prospects as an NFL starter is at all equivalent to Mac seeking strategic/tactical input from former coaches. Not even remotely close to similar, at all.

I am tremendously glad to watch a QB with poise, confidence, and mental toughness. Gobsmacked some folks are still dying on the Mac hill.

From what I have read, it happened after he was cut and before he was resigned.

Rome Odunze @ 8 talk about a Reach pick.

An opposing coach, to ask how to override his then current coach.

I've heard a story about this play. Legend has it O'Brien went back to the sidelines and when they were asking about some reads he was calling out his high school plays. One of O'Briens teammates told Tippett you knocked our QB back to highschool.

 

[PatsFan2]

Parker has definitely become visible with Zappe. Hopefully both of them don't knock us out of position for our future QB. We need one of the Williams - Maye or Daniels QB trio.

But but but, Zappe asked for personal advice from friends and mentors about how to cope with being cut and how to chart a path forward for himself!!! That's AWFUL!!! That's DEFINITELY equivalent to asking other coaches, potentially including coaches of opposing teams you are playing that year, how to tell you current coaches to do their jobs better!!! It's not FAIR!!!!!! Zappe needs to face the same consequences Mac did, which was... none, because Mac was still the starting QB for all of camp and most of the season this year!!! ........... I don't care, I can't stand it!!!

Up their asses...?

Dugger doesn't run the defense like DMac did so I'm not so sure BB will offer what he's worth on the open market. He may try since he was another pick that BB got crucified for and was later proven right. Money will decide.

He could've had Trevon Diggs.

Was the defense worse than last year?

Do not like WRs that demand the ball, need the sideline camera pinned to them, and think every loss is due to not getting the ball. Terrell Owens, Dez Bryant, and Diggs are great talents that just aren't what I want on MY team. I'm okay rather trying to shut them up. Pickens is another one. No Thank You.

Edit.....wrong Diggs. Nevermind

Not at all. Just talking about individual duties.
