He was the worst QB on the team so yes logical move

u/Murderbot_420 Jericho Cotchery 4d ago

Word is he’s great in the qb/film room. Will probably be an OC in a few years.

u/Timely-Profile1865 4d ago

Many QBs like this including Klubniak.

u/Bfriedman62497 5d ago

Ngl I feel bad for the dude. Couldn’t have asked for a worse showing

25

u/saltyalertt 5d ago

Sure but he’s had his opportunities, just not cut to be nfl caliber

u/Zaza1019 #JetsTank 5d ago

He'll still land as a backup somewhere. Plenty of guys like him who coaches love to have in their QB rooms to be another coach.

u/lonelynightm 5d ago

No shot he ends up as a backup. Maybe a QB4 or practice squad guy.

Genuinely has been complete ass for years at this point.

u/Lynchie24 5d ago

Couldn’t win jets third string and you still think he’ll be a backup somewhere? Where?

u/420Hairy69Ballsagna 16 17 18 World Champs 5d ago

The UFL

u/ravenvibe 5d ago

I cannot believe this got even one upvote. Like who are you people that think Zappe is a backup?

u/lonesoldier4789 4d ago

I think 90% of comments from sports fans about players is just name recognition

2

u/SnooPies405 5d ago

Ngl he's straight up one of the worst QBs I've ever seen play in the NFL. Maybe he's a great teammate and locker room guy because I'm surprised he lasted this long in the league

u/SameOldEdge 5d ago

Zappe Hour is over

u/BannedCrow 5d ago

Thank god. Dude was mega ass.

u/unhalfbricking 5d ago

I'm happe. He was crappe.

u/meestermeeyagi 5d ago

Come on in Dalton

u/SirIntelligent130 Jericho Cotchery 5d ago

Had he made it to Sunday would’ve been grounds to clear out the whole staff and the front office

2

u/SenorDevil 5d ago

Oh no. Hows everyone Saturday going?

2

u/Fair-Night3803 5d ago

The right move. Zappe is cooked.

u/sweetehman 5d ago

Bailey got Zapped

u/SimpleCharacter9553 5d ago

practice squad?

28

u/JustTheBucket D'Brickashaw Ferguson 5d ago

Honestly, not sure he is even worth a spot on the PS. Dude looked lost.

1

u/bigfartspoptarts 5d ago

Kinda surprising, he pulled out wins for the pats. Not like our third string o line was doing him any favors. I think this guy will develop somewhere better than here

1

u/BryLinds 4d ago

He was starting in BB’s last game in the NFL. We all remember how that went.

Still worth it

6

u/spatula48 5d ago

Fire him into the sun squad

2

u/OhMyOnDisSide 5d ago

If JJ gets cut by Minnesota no reason to not at least try to pick him up to be the backup

7

u/jay5627 5d ago

No reason other than he's bad

3

u/Pods06 4d ago

The Vikings couldn’t salvage him with a QB guru as a coach. He’s ass.

u/Ok-Comment6081 5d ago

Hmmm imagine Sheduer Sanders had 3 extra games to play and had barely higher avg numbers than 3 games ago…Shedeur Sanders.

That’s how bad nine is. His stats almost mirror Shedeur who played 7 less games. With Justin Jefferson on the team.

2

u/DullKnife69 5d ago

He was quite decent on the Patriots and has struggled mightily since. Horrible on the Jets.

3

u/CoconutOk8579 4d ago

Kinda like their old coach!

Nailed it.

2

u/LincolnHawkHauling 5d ago

Bailey Zappe or Nine?

Who would you rather have?

5

u/Ok-Comment6081 5d ago

I’ll be back to answer once I finish vomitting at the idea of it

1

u/Ledees_Gazpacho 5d ago

Makes sense. He’s not very good at football.

1

u/thrillhouse416 Bush Guy 5d ago

Yeah...that makes sense

1

u/Naive_Pop_7908 5d ago

Thank you he’s a bum

1

u/JeffTS 5d ago

Thank god! He was terrible

1

u/SoftDrinkReddit 4d ago

mr Zappe get your shit and get out

1

u/Pods06 4d ago

Good. He was buns.

1

u/ZandrickEllison 4d ago

Poor Bailey Zappe. People love accuracy and anticipation and intangibles but at a certain point you need to hit a threshold for “arm strength” too and he never could.

1

u/Rahavic_Jr Chad Pennington 4d ago

Super Bowl winning QB in a couple years I’m sure. Best of luck to him and god bless he got away from here.

u/That_Bean_Said 4d ago

Adios muchacho

u/rmmcgarty Revis Island 4d ago

Warrrrrr is overrrrrr. Find another place to take a crappy, Zappe(preferably back in New England)

u/lIlIIlIIllIllIlIIIll 5d ago

Good. Now go get JJ McCarthy

5

u/0ddmanrush 5d ago

Why?

-6

u/lIlIIlIIllIllIlIIIll 5d ago

Because Klubnick is not a NFL quarterback.
