Patriots gifted backup 'needs a change of scenery'; should Packers pursue?

The Green Bay Packers know what they have in Jordan Love, but they're not well-prepared for if Love misses time.

Neither of Green Bay's two backup candidates for Love has impressed during training camp, which has prompted reports that the Packers should look into acquiring Taylor Heinicke of the Atlanta Falcons as a more serviceable QB2.

Heinicke would be nice, but another viable -- and perhaps more interesting -- option for Green Bay at backup quarterback is Bailey Zappe of the New England Patriots.

Zappe looked solid in New England's preseason debut on Saturday, going 12-of-20 for 104 yards.
