Bailey Zappe Should Be QB1

-

 


    It is starting to look like there will be a quarterback competition in New England. Some are saying Mac Jones is a system quarterback, some are me. It looks like New England has drafted back to back rookie of the year quarterbacks, first with Mac Jones and now with Bailey Zappe. Now some are saying if a 9-5 office worker went out there against the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns, they would put up those numbers too and they are probably right. We have seen this before and there are 2 instances. 

    New England has been known to put out system quarterbacks. Tom Brady has gotten hurt in the past and when back up quarterbacks got in, they simply ball out. Leading them to sign big contracts to start on other teams. Jimmy Garoppolo has probably been the most successful to do this as he lead a 49ers team to the Super Bowl even if he did get carried by his defense. Jacoby Brissett is still starting to this day in the NFL so he has to be doing something right. Probably the most forgot Patriots quarterback, Ryan Mallet simply did not work out when he left the Patriots. And of course Matt Cassel being trade to the Chiefs. We have seen this happen before.

    The other time we have seen this is Tom Brady and Drew Bledsoe. Bledsoe got hurt in 2021 and a rookie took over with never looking back. Now I'm not saying Bailey Zappe is Tom Brady, but the Patriots have to be real Zappe with his play. Sorry had to say the Zappe joke but this dude is no joke. 

    The rookie out of Western Kentucky has has stats in 2 games to separate himself from other rookies across the NFL. Zappe is only one rookie QB in the Super Bowl era to win and post a 100+ Passer Rating in each of his first two starts. Good Morning Football put out a great graphic comparing the 2 here below.


    Zappe Fever has a HUGE test against the Bears this week unless Jones comes back. Jones is already on the edge of his seat watching Zappe play so good but one more good game and there may be a quarterback competition in New England.

Teams Should Pick Up Lamar Jackson

-

       The NFL offseason is finally among us and leads the fans to many questions around the NFL. The biggest storylines come out with free agency, draft, and players asking for trades. But the biggest storyline this season has to be Lamar Jackson and the non-exclusive franchise tag. Deshaun Watson had teams ready to give him a fully guaranteed contract and trading multiples picks for him when teams knew he was going to get suspended. Russell Wilson had teams willing to do the exact same thing but teams cautious about his age and when he was going to decline. Lamar Jackson is 26 years old and a former MVP. Teams have said they do not want to have talks with Jackson because the Ravens will match the offer. Teams do not want to do all this work for Jackson, just for the Ravens to use them to get a contract done with Jackson. That makes sense but teams need a quarterback.      There are multiple teams in the NFL that need a QB like Lamar Jackson to take them where they want to go. Having

Joe Burrow is UNPLAYABLE

     The Cincinnati Bengals are off to a 1-3 start and Joe Burrow has not looked like the quarterback he once was. Some will say his calf injury is the reason, some will say Zac Taylor is not a good offensive coach, some will say the offensive line is BAD, and some have no idea what is going on in Cincinnati. All the Bengals have taken a step back and their fantasy positions are decreasing from years past. But Joe Burrow only has 2 touchdown passes through 4 games, and those 2 both came against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2. Joe Burrow is the QB31 in fantasy football, only in front of Bryce Young for starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Baker Mayfield, Joshua Dobbs, and Zach Wilson are all better fantasy quarterbacks this year. Lets take a look at his weapons and compare their fantasy results this season. Starting with Ja'Marr Chase as he is WR21 who finished as WR12 in 2022 and WR5 in 2021. Tee Higgins is WR50 who finished as WR18 in 2022 and WR24 in 2021. Tyler Boyd is also WR64 an

Bears Big Decision: Justin Fields or Caleb Williams?

       The Bears have one of the most interesting off season decisions to make with either Justin Fields or Caleb Williams. If you were to ask any Bears fan, the fan base is split 50/50 and understandably so. Justin Fields has looked like a different quarterback since coming back from injury and also has 3 games left to prove. The Bears are also still in the playoff picture as well to make a run but seems very unlikely at this point. Lets get into the argument for both sides then I will get into my opinion. Justin Fields : I think the flash has been there the last couple of games and we saw the same thing from Fields to end the year. Also adding DJ Moore was huge for Fields as he finally got a WR1. The Bears have 2 top 5 picks and could focus on building around Fields through the draft. The Bears could do a couple things with the first pick and the most popular would be trading down. With trading down, it would be 2-3 first round picks and also players. The Bears clearly won the Panthe
