Bailey zap needs to be set free that's the word from none other than Patriots Legend Rob gronowski he's not holding back grank thinks the Patriots should either release or trade zap as soon as possible the reason zap's presence on the roster is blocking valuable playing time for rookies Drake May and Joe Milton 3 and grank is not having it subscribe to the channel now and help us reach our goal of 1,000 subscribers comment a go Patriots below if you've watched this far type in the comments go Patriots in the Patriots 17-3 preseason victory over the Carolina Panthers zap played more than May who was the number three pick in the 2024 NFL draft gronowski was left scratching his head wondering why may wasn't getting more snaps he spoke up on Fox Sports first things first saying bayy zap needs to be free they got to either let him go or they got to trade him because he's taking away reps from Drake May he's taking taking away reps from Joe Milton and Bailey's not going to be on that team by the end of training camp bayy zap needs to be free so he can go to another team and show what he has grank isn't the only one who thinks this way the idea of moving zap has been gaining traction throughout the off season it makes perfect sense zap isn't going to take the starting job from jacobe brassette who's back as the veteran leader and he's not the future franchise quarterback that may is supposed to be plus zap doesn't have the athletic skills and potential that Milton brings to the table when a voice is credible as gronowski speaks out you know it's time for the Patriots to make a move if they cut ties with zap it will give May more opportunities to develop on the field which is exactly what the team needs there's been a lot of heat on the Patriots for how much playing time zap got against the Panthers it's clear it's time for a new game plan first off May and Milton are the future of the Patriots at the most crucial position in football they need those reps plain and simple and let's be real zap hasn't been playing well enough to justify his extended time on the field if you've watched this far type in the comments go Patriots in fact his performance against the Panthers left a lot to be desired for example he threw a pass behind rookie wide receiver Javon Baker on a deep route it wasn't just a minor slip up it was a clear miscommunication zap threw outside when Baker was running to the post this kind of mistake sums up where zap is right now a quarterback on borrowed time with the Patriots zap's struggles are symbolic of the decline in quarterback play that marked the tough final years of Bill bellic's reign as head coach now with a new regime in place it's time for the Patriots to take a different path starting with a better plan for May grank himself was baffled by how little May played saying it was kind of a little weird to me that he only played six plays May needs more snaps to get comfortable with the pro game and refine his skills the six plays he got against the Panthers weren't nearly enough Chad graph of the athletic pointed out how little may could accomplish in those six snaps and it's clear he needs more time on the field during the remaining preseason games the Patriots need to give May the chance to work with a more complex Pro style offense he needs to get comfortable under Center make quicker decisions and improve his accuracy the only way to do that is by giving him real game likee conditions to practice in the team has to avoid being overly cautious in his development or they risk holding back a talented 21-year-old with a ton of potential now before we wrap this up make sure you smash that subscribe button and hit the notification Bell so you never miss out on the latest updates trust me you won't want to miss what's coming next so what do you think should the Patriots cut ties with zap and focus on developing May and Milton drop your thoughts in the comments below
