LOVE that throw at the 10 second mark to Verran Tucker.

Overall I'm seeing the guts and heart that I've been talking about all year. Would have liked to see him attempt some of those throws where he's forced out of the pocket instead of tucking and running. But hey, he was a goddamn rookie.

Showed pretty solid improvement throughout the games even though the offensive line did not.

Can't wait to watch him this preseason! Thanks rico for posting these!

I agree. The dude looks like a gunslinger. He's looking downfield and he's not afraid to cut it loose. While not perfect, you can tell that the raw talent is there. IMO, he looks exactly like the type of player that needs in game experience and a better understanding of where his WR's are going to be.

I think he has the tools to be a good QB in this league.

This video proves that Scott Pioli sucks at evaluating OL depth.

I'm really afraid of what that means drafting as big of a project guy as Stephenson.

Interesting.

I'd be somewhat tempted to consider it, but I think even with homerism aside I'd keep the kid we drafted.

God, I'd forgotten how awful our team was in the preseason and the beginning of the season last year. Those were dark times.

I honestly don't have an opinion one way or the other at this point. I'd like to have Stanzi because I've liked some things about him over the years and because he's a Hawk.

Osweiler has some measurables.

Neither has proven a thing in the NFL.

Anyone who can watch that film clip and not see the difference between Stanzi and Cassell is certifiable.

That's pretty much where I'm at, too.

Like I said, I'd keep Stanzi...a big part of that is because I don't think Cassel is the starter by mid season and I think RS is "more ready" to play if called upon.

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 can throw the Pig Skin a quarter mile and knock you off a bike with a t bone steak--oh wait I think that was in a movie? :hmmm:

ummmm "Hey Ricki your so fine you blow my mind HEY RICKI!!!!

His theme song is catchy.

That makes sense. I'd like to see Stanzi get a shot with the first-teamers.

NO WAY do I want Ricki leading this team.

Osweiler's a big (literally) hit-or-miss prospect. Stanzi had a little more balance coming out of college and has a year's worth of experience in the NFL. Simply, he's more valuable than Osweiler. And if you're in the Chiefs' situation and don't have Peyton Manning as your starting QB, Stanzi BY FAR makes more sense.

Besides, what's Osweiler's ceiling? Big Ben? Hell yeah I'd love to have Big Ben as my starting QB. What's Stanzi's ceiling? Tom Brady. Also pretty damn good.

Both QBs have the same incredibly small chance of achieving their respective ceilings, but Stanzi IS one year into his NFL career. He's got a significant leg up.

Screw homerism being a reason you'd keep him. I think he's just as good as Osweiler as a prospect. It makes no ****ing sense whatsoever to draft a developmental QB then chuck him in the garbage after one year and take another guy when the potential payoff isn't all that much better. In fact, it's far more likely that Osweiler is a giant bust based on the steep learning curve he has.
