    He has “no intel on this”. I mean what has become of reporters, I guess just a battle for clicks with the internet/podcasts.

    I mean, it makes sense. I hope people aren’t thinking that they are trying to see if they have a starter in Zappe?

    The reason Bill is doing this is to see if Zappe can be a backup in the future. If Zappe doesn’t show any progress then Bill will be looking to replace him as well.

    I was appalled at Mac’s performance Sunday but in retrospect I think it’s an overreaction to say he won’t start. I think Zappe was put in the game just because that pick was so horrible and it even put Bill in a tilt. As bad as Mac has been, Zappe is worse. And if that were not the case I’m sure Zappe would have gotten more snaps by now because Mac has not played well.

    Now, I think Mac is almost certainly not starting in 2024 and quite possibly not on the team. But as of right now, he’s the least bad QB on the roster, so, barring some late season “let’s see what he has” snaps for Grier or Cunningham once they have 9 losses and a guaranteed losing season, or of course injury, Mac will probably be starting.

    Back up QBs are always so popular for fans.

    lol so the insider is Tom Curran who is not a member of the Patriots staff but a writer and the scoop is his unfounded speculation.

    “Mac Jones is going to almost certainly sit,” Curran said.
    "I think he’ll probably be dropped down to third-string. You’re gonna elevate Will Grier and you’re gonna elevate the player that took the final snaps the other day…Bailey Zappe.

    “If I was a betting man, and I don’t have any intel on this, but Will Grier gets the reps to be the starter, and if he fails in that, then Zappe would start and Grier would be No. 2 and you proceed through the end of the year and try to maintain the culture.”

    The media headlines are going to be entertaining the next two weeks.

    Bailey Zappe at QB and I honestly think we have a chance to lose after the bye. Mac Jones has been dreadful but lets not kid ourselves about Bailey…What is worse than dreadful, atrocious?

    What is the obsession people have with Malik? The guy isn’t a QB just let it go.
