I don't think they were happe with Zappy as the backup. Also unlikely, even at his age, Belichick would mistake Matt Corral for Matt Cassel, who was Brady's understudy for a long time - even taking them to playoffs in 2008 when Brady suffered his only serious career injury in the season opener.
The connection is interesting. Carolina picked Corral in the third round last year after trading up with the Patriots. The Patriots used one of the picks they got back to get Zappe in the fourth round. Then Corral got hurt in a preseason game against New England and missed his rookie season.
