Zappe waived (Edit: so was Malik!)

[TomPatriot]

Not surprised he was let go. People can make all of the excuses they want but he clearly regressed. I wouldn’t be surprised if he got back to PS but what I’m really surprised by is that no one wanted him as a low draft pick or player for player trade? With all of the OL movement, the movement with QB’s…we might be in for a long season. Billy B & O are clearly not happy with the offense. Hopefully it gets ironed out by the end of September.

Maybe the speculation that MP dumbed down the offense for him was true.

Feels like a move to test if Zap or Malik would stick if they were sent to the PS.

Waive them now, and if they don't get picked up, see if someone else better is available.

If not, then they are now on minimum cost contracts on PS, with one promoted on game day.

@Ross12 not just a hot take artist after all, huh?

@Ross12 upgraded to Nostradamus status...

Zappe probably clears waivers. I don't really see any team seeing value in him.

His performance last year was overstated by this board as it is. And this year he clearly regressed.

To think as of this morning there were posters arguing for Zappe. Now he's cut.

 

[Rob0729]

It seems pretty clear he was not picking up the offense and he has physical limitations that he just cannot overcome. I guess they don't believe he can pick up the offense.

There's a lot of people more invested in being right than they are invested in the team winning. Zappe has been bad all summer.

Until about a week ago, I thought Zappe was a good backup guy to have around. In that last PS game, I couldn't believe how lost he was. He was melting.

Maybe he's back on the PS, but for the Pats to waive him and expose him like that tells me they really don't think much about him at this time.

X is exploding with tweets on Brady's return to NE ... lol

 

[obgod3]

its either Tom or Cam ....lmao

I doubt he’s back in NE. If he clears waivers - big if - he’ll have better options.

He’ll clear waivers. The good news is that the USFL may be looking for an experienced side arm passer…..

 

[Drunken Cicerone]

He was awful this pre season

This team will likely need three QBs when the high school junior varsity offensive line leases to massive brain trauma for any QB to take a snap

Wasn't even a year ago when fans were chanting zappes name when Mac took the field. And bill replaced Mac with zappe.

How quick things change in the NFL

FWIW, more reports the Pats want both back on PS:

 

[PaulThePat]

Thoughts and prayers to all true Zappites. Stay safe and stay away from all ledges and sharp instruments.

 

[Sam Bam Cunningham]

Colt mccoy is hoyer 2.0 and would be an excellent signing in my opinion. Super experience back up who could help to mentor Jones

 

[Guts]

X is exploding with tweets on Brady's return to NE ... lol

Lol it be marvelous but not with this Oline

 

[Bill Lee]

LOL!

It's why I don't pay much attention to "fans." The idea that Zappe was going to replace Mac was silly.

Zappe fever finally broke.

I hope so
