we get smoked in Jersey...Mac has a horrible game....the media goes beserk...the rumors of Mac's camp wanting a trade out become deafening...a ton of cap space plus high position in 2023 draft...Zappe assumes starter's role the rest of the season...
This is close to happening...
I could see a scenario where Mac gets put on IR, Zappe plays the rest of the season, Bill evaluates him and then based on that evaluation, decides to roll with him again in 2023 or pursue Jimmy G as a free agent. Trades Mac for draft capital and uses that plus his large amount of cap space to fill the gaps in the roster. But some of that cap may have to go to the QB if he did feel he needed to target Garoppolo in that scenario.
I don't feel this is likely but I could see it.
