God bless you Utopia for saving my Pats from years of having their teeth kicked in with Mac fucking Jones under center. Guy is 10-ply.
As the resident shitter Pats fan, I can say unequivocally that Zappe has played head-and-shoulders better than Jones all of this season, and dating back to the latter part of Jones' 2021 season. If I had disposable income I'd bet significant money on Zappe starting the remainder of the season and moving forward into future seasons (barring injury).
He has this uncanny calmness/poise in the pocket and ability to feel pressure without dropping his eyes. After his start against Detroit, during the postgame presser, he was asked if he felt more comfortable compared to the Green Bay game and without a second of hesitation said completely genuinely,
"I felt very comfortable with everything I was doing out there". It's Zappening.
I already have a vault of gifs of Zappe making lowkey great plays from his first two starts. I'll spoiler them to save you all from scrolling.
