Which brings up an important point- that Bill never got Mac a serious veteran backup
It was really dumb going into the season with Bailey Zappe as the backup to a struggling young QB.
Where is the veteran leadership and mentorship in that QB room? Not that Andy Dalton would have turned Mac and Zappe into franchise QBs, but young players need mentorship sometimes. They need guys that can help them both on and off the field.
I dont even want to imagine what tape study sessions are like with 2 young, struggling, frustrated QBs that cant help each other and are facing the end of their NFL careers together.
