Next man up, and may Calais Campbell's name go down in Patriots lore in the same breath as Mo Lewis'. You know that can't happen with Hoyer. I don't mind buying a wonka bar and seeing whether there's a golden ticket in it. That means what the hell, play the kid and see how bad it is (that said, I know he was pretty unready in preseason at times.)
Zappe was a long shot. Giving him his best shot might involve sitting him a couple of years, but as a fan, kissing the season goodbye this early feels a bit too early. And Hoyer the Destroyer is not just waiting for a chance to show us all what he's got. We know what he's got.
