I thought Bailey Zappe played better than Mac Jones last year and the team played better with him as the quarterback. Do you think he could outplay Jones and eventually replace him as the starting QB? - Bob Regish
I don't rule out any possibilities, especially considering Bill Belichick specifically said there will competition at all spots on the roster when asked about quarterback. That said, no, I don't believe Zappe outplayed Jones for the most part last year and I don't believe he will supplant Jones as the quarterback in 2023. Strictly looking at the numbers, Zappe performed better.
