Here is a question: If the Patriots waive Zappe who is on a rookie contract for this season and next, do you pick him up and cut Dalton, whose contract expires at the end of this season?

I go with the younger, experienced QB.  To me, Zappe is one of those strong reserve QBs who will always make any roster better--like a Gardner Minshew.  Dalton is 37.  Save a million in cap room and move in a young QB with starting experience.

Absolutely. Dalton is at the end of his career. Your most capable backup should have at least some of his best years ahead of him. We desperately need some new life in this QB room.

But I don't get the vibe this will happen. Not saying it's not possible. I'm just reading the tea leaves in how this front office has handled Bryce Young and I just do not see them bringing in even a Zappe type for reasons I can only assume relate to Bryce's comfortability. For better or worse that's what it's about. Me I think it should be about fielding the best football team. But I'm a fan what do I know? I've just been watching this franchise make wrong decision after wrong decision the last several years 🤷‍♂️

I would certainly do that, but I feel like there's almost no chance of it happening.  I think there's a higher probability that they claim him and carry him as QB3 on the 53 man.  And I don't think the odds of that are very good.  I think it's gonna be Bryce and Andy on the 53, with the plumber waiting in reserve on the PS.

It will be Bryce and Andy this season. Next seasons roster will be determined by how this season plays out. Andy is only the backup for now. Plummer is a placeholder.

      We're at DefCanales Level 1

      lol It's 2 games in with a broken QB it's too early to tell. I hope Canales works out but this is still funny.

      Bill Barnwell defends Bryce's benching with some horrific stats

      By NorthTryon · Posted

      This backlash has truly been sad and was part of the reason I believe Bryce was drafted in the first place. He was small and looked like a kid and everybody just loved that he was also good at football. Once I heard CJ Stroud talking on his podcast tour this summer, I was like well that is the reason he isn't here. I remember the hatred for Cam that basically arose out of him being a massive, confident, black man. Every time a new broadcast crew met him during warmups the telecast was just about how larger than life he was. I even had a friend who is close to Cam's size talk about him sucking the air out of every room goes into like being big, loud, and confident is a bad thing. And many here along with the media never showed any sympathy, empathy, or a second thought to the shite Cam had to put up with while here. Till this day it is either about the stupid fumble that didn't matter that he didn't jump on, or that he only had like one good year.  So to see this crazy backlash from the sports and social media regarding Canales benching a small, weak, entitled, non verbal QB who is playing terrible, struggling to recognize defenses, missing open WRs, and leaving clean pockets is mind blowing! Only Chase Daniels watched the film before talking this week. Everyone else used it as an opportunity pine for Bryce and crap on organization. Again, I hope someone is dumb enough to give us Josh Rosen compensation for him.
