Are we so starved for a quarterback, ANY quarterback, that we bring up through the ranks to finally break through and be THE GUY that we would put this seemingly average and nondescript player up on a pedestal? I mean, seriously, he couldn't even beat out Tyler Palko for the backup gig. Tyler. Freaking. Palko. It makes me wish I were more of a Hawkeye fan just so I could buy into the "hype" surrounding him. I haven't seen this much hopefull wishing since Casey Printers and Ted White didn't make the team.

So, sell me on this phenom named Stanzi. I dare you.

He may end up being a terrific starting QB at some point (hopefully soon), but there is nobody who could really know at this point based on what we've seen.

He was never going to play. He was told prior to the season to be prepared for it. It's the Patriot Way.

I also did an install for the wife of someone with direct knowledge of the situation that works for the team that told me the same thing.

It was a management call that had nothing to do with coaching.

She didn't say it was a Pioli call specifically, just a "management call".

I never heard anyone else say it.

I like Stanzi as a prospect because his resume has alot of things on it that point o him having a chance to make it as an NFL QB. His size is good, he has enough starts, he's won enough games, he's won bowl games, he has an addequate completion%, and he has a natural, easy throwing motion. He also seems like a natural leader.

That was off the top of my head but I'm sure there's another reason or two I'd like to see him get a real chance.

That's cool that the administration allowed you to bird hunt on campus.

Before even starting, at this stage in both careers, Stanzi already has more highlight videos. Sad really we didn't at least give him a try over Palko.
