Then what is he waiting for? Get moving Mac!
maybe a bit of denial and trying to convince himself he can get back faster without it? 🤷
humans will be humans and knowing that surgery is a solid X-weeks away vs. wishing/hoping to get back sooner?
 
I get the reasoning. Like, I'm for 'Anyone but Hoyer", but nothing Zappe did in preseason gave me reason to lead the charge.
He flashed some in preseason, and made some mental errors. Against live bullets I'd argue that he's a tick worse than Hoyer assuming no development since preseason, but with potential to develop to be better over the next several weeks.

Plus, he's an unknown for the whole league vs Hoyer, who is known.

The additional upside for playing Zappe is that we'll get a good read on whether he's worth sinking resources into vs taking a shot at someone else in the off-season...and that's if he does badly. If he does well he's a potentially valuable trading piece.

Put it this way: if we're worse than 3-4 three weeks from now, there's no reason to play Hoyer over Zappe unless they've seen enough to know that there's nothing there.
