last year in the draft. IMO, he was the best long ball QB out of all of them. Hopefully the Lions can get pressure on him and disrupt his play. Take a look at Zappe’s highlight reels. I really was hoping the Lions would grab him. Bailey Zappe - Wikipedia

You thought Bailey Zappe was the #2 QB in last year’s draft?
Was there only one QB taken in the 1st round?
He will surely look like the best QB from the draft tomorrow!

Make sure to check out his stats, prior to the draft I watched a bunch of QB highlights and Zappe’s looked the best by far really. Bailey Zappe - Wikipedia

Yes, Kenny Pickett. That was it until round 3 when Desmond Ridder was selected as the 2nd QB.
by who The Lions ? that’s laughable since we play with half a team-if that.

You must not have watched the Senior Bowl.
He does not have a strong arm.

At his pro day… with no pads…. he could barely throw a ball 50 yards…

He was extremely accurate when playing real games. Hitting players in full stride. Bailey Zappe 2021 Full Season Highlights | Record-Breaking WKU QB | 2022 NFL Draft Prospect - YouTube
what, how we choke by 5 points? our motto should be “Close…but no cigar.” imagine all the games we have lost by ten or fewer points…if they were wins…sigh*
I hope you are correct by the way.
No, how did you get that out of my OP?
My bad. I missed “long ball” part of that first sentence.
I thought watching him against the Packers that his arm looked very weak. Accurate though, and with the way I expect them to lean on the run game, he’ll probably get some opportunities to throw to open guys against us.
I think Belichick’s ideal for this game would be for Zappe to throw it around 10 times and run it like 50 times. Attacks our weak point and keeps our offense off the field.

Belichick is going to dust off that can Newton offense against us.

And anyone who has watched the Patriots closely realizes that you aren’t even joking when you say that. Last year his gameplan against the Buffalo Bills involved throwing the ball 3 times. I remember one year against the Ravens his gameplan for the 2nd half was to not run the ball a single time. He is definitely willing to go to the extremes if the tea leaves line up right. If Analzone can’t cover the TE up the seam, Belichick is willing to run 20 straight seem routes on him until he finally stops it.

Accurate? sure.
long ball thrower??? Nope.
Zappe does not have an NFL caliber arm.

Zappe was a system QB, he is Kellen Moore.
