What is it you see that makes you scream backup QB?

That was cool, thanks for posting.

It's shocking how little time he has in that first game. Line was terrible.

He just looks like a rookie, lots of passes off target or behind the receiver.

To his credit there was just one tipped ball INT and one other that should have been intercepted. Seemed to have some erratic footwork at times.

Hard to judge him there with so little protection.

Loved the comment, "Barry Richardson was not flagged on this play..."

nice Rico

thanks.

I'm not going to post a "I DEMAND AN APOLOGY NAO" thread, but I was ridiculed all year when I mentioned the abortion of a 3rd string offensive line Stanzi had to play behind in those preseason games. I was told I was making excuses for the kid, and that they were going up against 3rd string defensive line, so everything was a wash.

Well now you see, folks. Behold him! Ricky the Excused, King of Quarterbacks!

Please, please give him a chance. Anything other then Cassel would be better, even if he sucks.

So does Rex Ryan

BADUM CHA

RicoSwaff, did you post these up on Youtube? I'd really been hoping they'd surface, even checked every now and again, never found them though.

THANK YOU! Now I know what I saw wasn't just my imagination!

yeah, he's way better than Cassel. thanks for making those videos or showing them

Was mad he didn't get to play in the fourth and final preseason game against the Packers. He should of got the chance to play, but no we had to watch Cassel and Palko the entire time and they both sucked. All season I wanted to see Stanzi play and he never freaking got too. I think he could of done better than Orton in the last three games. Who knows? But at least he would have something to build up for this year with and got experience out of it.

Seeing those videos makes me ****ing pissed that we have to sit through a whole year of Cassel before we'll even get to sniff Stanzi's toenails.

Man in that first game our OLine is horrible. In the second game Stanzi couldn't hit the guys and when he did they dropped them. Third game showed some flashes at best.

I could never understand the fascination with Battle.

first, let me say I like the pick, the stanzi pick. he's worth a fifth for sure because he could become a decent backup in the NFL if not a starter.

I like Stanzi as a player, he has moxy. he does a lot of things to win games. he's a smart player from what I can tell, doesn't take big chances, though he does make more mistakes with the ball than a successful NFL QB would make. he's got a lot of learning to do. but, there are two things that strike me when I watch him play; his head stays pointed downfield even when he's dropping back -- he's not a swivelhead and the other thing is his release is clean and quick. but he moves his eyes, not his head and that's good for football. it's smart.

I can't stand matt cassel, I doubt I'll even watch the team this season because I just cannot stand matt cassel as a football player. but, stanzi is not a guy I would expect to be ready, not yet. I would look to him for next season or even one more year. he's just like cassel when it comes to locking on a player and he has not got good zip on the ball. he needs to get stronger.

I know some of you think his arm is fine, it is, probably. but I would not say he is above average arm strength. look at the very first pass on those videos -- he under throws Baldwin by a mile along the sideline. he has enough arm to play in the NFL, but he is a noodle arm QB like Green, Dilfer etc. but like I said in the other thread, he's young and so were those other players at one time and they did develop into decent QB's. stanzi can get stronger. What ****ing moron would have ever said Dilfer would win a championship and look good doing it? I dunno, maybe he's on this ****ing board now. I dunno, but that's football.

Hudson is the center on every snap in those videos as well...in case anyone wants to get a glimpse of the possible future there.

If you're saying Stanzi has a TG arm, then sign me up. I know we as Chiefs fans are starved for a real QB, shit any QB not named Hat Hassel, but Stanzi appears to have "it" to me. If Matt is .....well Matt.... this year, then I want them to go ahead and bypass the Medicine Woman and play Stanzi.

ya, he does have the it factor for sure. he's a smooth dude.
