Patriots 2022 Season

[MarcusSmartFanClub]

I think all 3 Qbs have average arm talent at best, but also have quick processing skills. I’m not sure there’s that much of a difference between them besides height.

I'm a little surprised that the media/reporters are all acting like it's definitely Zappe and/or Hoyer next week, as if it's very likely Mac is missing the next game too.

They said Mac was making "great progress", "could be a game time decision against Green Bay", and then he practiced last Friday. And now he'll miss 2-3 weeks? Then why say all that instead of just being like "yeah he'll miss a few weeks". Sounds overdramatic.

But anyways, I guess we'll see in the next few days. I'd love for Mac to return this week but I've barely heard anyone suggest that he will. Sounds like everyone already assumes it's Zappe this Sunday. I'm guessing Hoyer will also remain out so they might have to sign a QB to backup Zappe

High ankle sprains take a while to heal. He couldn’t even put weight on the foot after it happened and was in a lot of pain. That’s not something that you come back from after a week or two. He didn’t practice on Friday, he was just at practice. Never heard a report that he was a game time decision. The Pats are always super vague on injuries. Bill wouldn’t even acknowledge that he had an ankle sprain when he was interviewed earlier last week.

Zappe played well for the most part.  A few times he held on to the ball too long and got sacked.  They will probably work on that this week.  I would definitely go with Zappe over Hoyer, even if Hoyer is cleared.  Give Zappe all the first unit snaps.  Get him ready.

The #Patriots are expected to sign QB Garrett Gilbert to the practice squad, per source.

With Mac Jones (high ankle sprain) and Brian Hoyer (concussion) both dealing with injuries, the only healthy QB on the roster is rookie Bailey Zappe

Super Bowl Champion Garrett Gilbert.

Holy hell, there's a name I have not heard in a very long time.

Sounds like negligence to me, although I'd want to take a look at the contract.

Maybe Tom can just sign it again?

The Patriots placed backup quarterback Brian Hoyer on injured reserve Thursday after Hoyer suffered a concussion in his start against the Packers in Week 4.

Hoyer started in place of Mac Jones, who sustained a bad ankle injury in Week 3. Hoyer, however, left the game with his head injury in the first quarter after going 5-for-6 as a passer for 37 yards. He was replaced by Bailey Zappe, whose 10-for-15 afternoon kept the Patriots alive against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

Bill Belichick declined to offer any insight into the quarterback situation when meeting with reporters on Wednesday, repeatedly pointing to the injury report.

Probably not a surprise but according to reports, it's very likely Zappe is starting this Sunday.

Time to get the Zappe Fever!

So who's the QB if Zappe gets injured lol

Maybe make Joe Judge a player coach and they can throw him out there in a pinch.

Available Patriots WRs for this week:

Jakobi Meyers
DeVante Parker
Nelson Agholor
Kendrick Bourne
Lil’Jordan Humphrey
Tyquan Thornton

They don’t typically carry six active wideouts on gameday. Could be an odd man out there tomorrow.

Good to have Myers back. Also curious to see how Thornton looks.
