Mac Vs Zap: The Controversy Has Begun

[Hank Kingsley]

You dont think every QB is aware of where Garrett is?

Being aware in your second game when you already have a hard time managing the clock is a pretty good sign. Whatever I don’t care which one they play as long as they win.

Point is I am sure BB did all he could to protect the kid and beat into his head, identify where Garrett is on every play, Probably told him that 100 times during the week. I will agree the kid looks really good, makes nice throws, seems to be able to make a lot of different throws and seem cool under pressure

Did anyone else notice when the put Bailey in they sort of gave up on the RPO they were trying to develop and went back to run heavy and short passing game.

Did Brady get pissy when McD went to Denver to fail? I can't recall.

No, because Bill O'Brian said Brady is that man and we will do it his way.
While not verbatim, if you ever watch Man in the Arena, Bill O'B admits this.

There are contrary feelings about that here.

Not from me.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Yes.

Gives a bit more perspective then just the sideline video.

Yeah I really do feel TB12 could be bitchy at times but i won't hold it against him

Ya, I was just being a troll. If Mac is being a bitch as is being reported then he chose the wrong place to do that. Brady was the model citizen until the very end when he had earned the right to complain about his shitty receivers and ultimately play elsewhere. Mac hasn't earned shit, including the right to say anything about anything BB decides.

I just thought it was an interesting view.
Fuck you!
No! Fuck You!!
NO!!! FUCK YOU!!!
NO!!! FUCK YOU!!!!

I had an altercation with one of our water plant operators early in the morning that was very very similar. When we both figured out that we were both hollering because the other one was hollering because we both have loud voices and are little hard of hearing, and it just kept escalating......

It was comical. In hindsight. It was literally almost fists in real time.

Patriots reportedly make decision on Mac Jones or Bailey Zappe as starter

With Mac Jones now ready to play, who will be the starting QB moving forward for the Patriots?

sports.yahoo.com

So who are the """SOURCES""" ???

Coaches, players, Bill himself or the guys at the CBS Restaurant across from the Patriots HOF???

Jeff Howe isn't the most reliable since he left the Globe for the Athletic

AS bad as it looked, the draft has been a gold mine.

Will be relegated to back up this weekend. Wish he wasn't though would love to see how he looks against the Jets Defense in two weeks. That would be a potential indicator. It may very well be we have two QBs that are potential starters I seem to remember a lot of this same unfounded devotion for Jimmy G early on.

At this point I'd say the Zappe fever isn't totally unfounded. We saw him comfortable in the pocket and escaping from pressure very well. We saw that TD pass to Thornton which was a quick striking, perfectly accurate laser. We've seen wins, though the level of competition wasn't the highest, he did pass the eyeball test.

I'm not anointing him for anything nor would I bench Mac. Just sayin' he seems very promising.

Zappe is a backup. The two guys ahead of him getting hurt didn't give him a promotion. Until a healthy Mac sits, Zappe isn't the starter.

And he showed all of that during preseason as well. There's enough evidence at this point to at least suggest he could be the real deal.

But you've got to discount preseason play. Teams don't pay "planned" games for the second and third teams. They don't. They just don't.

But I don't say the same for the past two games.

I understand what you're saying and agree. All I'm saying is he showed poise, pocket awareness, and quick release during preseason which I thought looked solid. And then he showed the same attributes these last few games that were "real".

The draft never looked bad to me. I loved it!

BREAKING NEWS! An apology!

Patriots 'vs. Humbled' QB Mac Jones? Apology Issued for Erroneous Boston Globe Report

An assertion made this week that second-year QB Mac Jones and the New England Patriots are somehow in conflict - with Jones in need of being "humbled'' - has been walked back, with the Boston Globe apologizing after having been duped by a social-media prankster. Hey everybody, just want to...
