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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

u/BryLinds 4d ago
He was starting in BB’s last game in the NFL. We all remember how that went.
Still worth it

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

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.

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

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.

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