Ah, the little known Flying Stanzibovine. Impressive.

You know what bovines are? Never mind. Clearly you don't.

It's a pig that turns into a cow after it mates with a Stanzi, n00b.

Those Cleveland teams were complete ass. Outside of Kellen Winslow II, who else did he have to throw to?

But you are correct in saying he played when Mangini was there. I had that wrong.

SNR touched on this a bit, but our 3rd string scrubs last oreseason were worse than our opponents 3rd string scrubs, most notably on the O-Line.

In his limited snaps in the preseason, he spent the majority of his time running for his life.

He did show some real moxie and toughness in those situations.

In his only appearence with the second team, he was calm and collected in the pocket and lead the Chiefs to a TD with efficiency and poise, making at least two passes that neither Cassel or Palko could even dream of making.

Granted, it's only preseason, and there's a lot of preseason pro bowlers that never amount to anything when the real bullits fly, but in that one series, we did get a glimpse of what his potential may be.

It's like Huard/Croyle all over again.

This was from Pioli if I recall correctly. Told Haley he couldn't play him unless Palko broke, RAC didn't play him either as you noticed. I still have no idea why.

This. Not exactly Montana vs Young here. More like which shitburger tastes better?

2007 season... Quinn held out for nearly 2 weeks before signing deal. Anderson took advantage. (Not a smart move by Quinn, his agent, or both).

2008 season... Anderson gets new big contract. Sucks ass. Quinn comes in and does pretty good. Quinn starts week 10 against Denver. Lost 34-30. Week 11 beat the Bills 29-27, but Quinn breaks right index finger. Plays next week in a loss, but is then out for the season.

Crennel fired.

2009 season... Winslow traded for draft pick. Quinn started first 3 games. Then Anderson started 4th. Edwards traded to Jets. Anderson starts until week 10 when Quinn got nod again. Quinn leaves Cleveland.

Our starter played mostly against scrubs and looked like hell. It's silly to note that a guy played against scrubs when he was playing WITH scrubs. Even worse, his lineman were revolving doors and I believe one had JUST converted from DL.

Not to mention that his receivers did everything they could to drop the passes he threw to them...

Nah. It's more like you have a choice between a shitburger (Cassel) and a burger that has a very suspicious-looking condiment spread on the bun. Could be something innocent like peanut butter, or it could a congealed smear of Type 7 poop.

And before you get started, yes, peanut butter cheeseburgers are ****ing amazing. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

There's a couple of gifs floating around here where Stanzi finds Cody Slate on a seam pattern down the middle with an excellent throw, and another where he finds him on a corner route for a touchdown. Both throws were excellent, and the TD throw was off his back foot, but still on the money.

Those are the two plays I remember thinking "damn good throw, there".

Should have been locked here. People waiting on Stanzi truly enjoy urinating into a fierce north wind.

Yes, and for good damned reason. No franchise qb since Len Dawson.

EVERYONE should be starved for a good qb.

I do know Matt Cassel ISNT that qb.

I remember the pass to Slate. My initial reaction was, "Wow".

It's our lot in life as Chiefs fans, apparently. MAYBE PAT BARNES CAN TAKE OVER WHEN GRBAC IS DONE, et al.
The only person that seemingly doesn't know that is the guy making personnel decisions for the Chiefs. For the life of me, I have no clue as to what he sees in Cassel that literally the rest of the world doesn't.

I can't remember what game this was in, whether it was the Green Bay preseason game or one of the first wins we got last season (Vikings? Colts?) but Cassel has a gif'd up throw that was pretty good. The problem with it is he had to gallop and take about 6 or 7 steps to get into an broad-legged stance to achieve his windup.

By comparison, I don't think we'll ever see Stanzi leisurely take one of those 4-second preps if he becomes our starter. It's just so totally not necessary.

Remember, Stanzi had a few weeks of coaching sessions out of Tom Martinez, whose big thing was eliminating unnecessary motion and keeping everything compact and efficient.

College efficiency, starts, consecutive years of improvement, bowl wins, quality conference wins, and pro style background in college are the main reasons why people compare Stanzi to Brady. Throw in a brief stint with Martinez (not nearly as long as Brady had him for, but still) and hell... you practically EXPECT him to be the next Brady.

I know all of that means shit, but it shows that it's not totally unfair to point to Brady when people ask what Stanzi could do.

I dont either, everyone see's that Cassel isnt the guy but him. I dont know what he see's positive out of cassel. I think that 27 and 7 season did something to Pioli. That was a huge ass Mirage.

Cassel isnt accurate, he doesnt have a strong arm, He cant make the big play in crunch time. He cant throw a screen pass to save is life. He has shit for pocket presence. Its like what does he see?

We have 3 QBs.

Cassel is a POS.

Quinn has looked less than bad, mostly.

Stanzi is unknown.

There is NOTHING wrong with people hanging their hats on Stanzi if the usual starter is a repeat offender of looking like burnt turds.

What is the other option?

We're never going to get our magical 1st round QB. Now THERE'S a mythical beast we should be starting a thread about. And no, Landry ****ing Jones doesn't count as a 1st round QB. If Tannehill is crap what the hell do people call Jones?

That's our other option. Bitch the entire year about this franchise's fear and obsession with not drafting a QB in the first round.

Personally, I've done enough of that ever since the Trent Green trade. I'm sick of it. I see a prospect that I really like, and who I think is a fantastic player. I think he could be a great QB in the league. And I arrived at that based on my OWN judgements upon watching him at Iowa and in the preseason.

I'm going to emotionally invest in Stanzi. I'm rooting for the guy. And you know what? The likelihood of my hope coming true is far greater than everybody else's hope of drafting that mythical 1st round QB.

a thread over a 5th round qb?

ROFL

When everything is absolutely perfect around Cassel, he is a great QB. But as soon as there is a touch of pressure or his first read isn't open, you can see him getting happy feet and looking to dump off. Speaking of gifs, someone posted a gif of Cassel hitting an underneath crossing route while the pocket was beginning to collapse while he never noticed the guy breaking to the post (Baldwin?) was wide the **** open.

In 2010 when he was on that hot streak with Bowe, I'd like to know how many of those passes were hit off of play action. That was also when Charles was on his streak, and nearly broke Jim Brown's season record for yards per carry,and defenses were trying to shut down the run game before the pass game.

I think the reason of not playing him last year, not dressing him etc, was to try and put that chip on his shoulder that Brady has.




Now, not very many guys have that or care that much about it. It infuriates Brady. Makes him dig that much deeper. The dude really is a special qb.


Will Stanzi ever be that? No not likely.


But there is a chacne I guess.

Really, he's not.



Even with a great pocket, he doesn't have the ability to read defenses and accurately put it in the right spot consistently. He can do it from time to time, but not near enough.

The other teams were stacking the box trying to stop Charles weren't they?

Ah, yes. The Mythical Ricky Stanzi...


http://i.imgur.com/Lavox.jpg

See, now that just convinced me that he's our man. LMAO

Sorry, Larry Johnson will always be The Centaur.

The real question is why are you so pissed off about someone having hope in an unproven player?

does it bug you? Does it make you angry to think that someone is finding a reason to hope, however unfounded?

Do you sit at home drinking beer, burning with fury about how someone could dare find any reason to think something good could happen?

Stanzi will cut off that sack-o-shit's head with a shark harpoon and feed it to Dontari Poe. Stanzi is all that is man.

He's called a better prospect than Tannehill, and it's not even close. But this is beside the point.

I agree with the general premise offered by Dave and you; there's nothing wrong with linking hope with something tangible and somewhat likely.

Go Stanzi. **** Pioli. Happy New Year.

Holthus nicknames don't count. He's embarrassing.

The only reason I want to see him get a shot is that I've seen the 3 out machine that Cassel is, so really, after seeing Palko it really can't go any further backwards. My fear is that the coaches have seen something in him they really don't like as they didn't give him a shot in all those games were Palko was stinking it up. It is one of those things where maybe if he gets a chance he shines, and if not, we know we can move on.

YOU'RE EMBARRASSING. THE CENTAUR WILL RIP YOUR NECK OFF AND SPIT DOWN YOUR FACE.

TOUCHDOWN! KANSAS CITY! TOUCHDOWN! STANZISAURUS REX WITH THE CONNECTION TO THE WYLIE COYOTE! 28-0 CHIEFS!

God dammit. Don't make me photoshop that shit!

THE HUMAN JOYSTICK!!!

(Wtf? That doesn't even make sense.)

Mother**** you if I have to hear this shit on a broadcast this upcoming year.

Did you read that, Mitch, you stupid, homer mother****er you? Wylie Coyote is not a legitimate nickname and you and the worthless Chiefs PR pieces of shit who read this site should forget that this proper noun ever occupied a fraction of space in your limited lexicon.

P.S. **** Pioli, that complete waste of space.

:LOL:

I think they actually like him. This was from yesterday mornings Star (before the draft started the 4th round)...

And then... he found the internet, and discovered the HONEY BADGER.

:facepalm:

Sometimes we have threads over a 6th round qb who isn't even on our team. Strange.

Or a 7th-round QB who is unfortunately on our team because we have the most overpaid GM in the league, fresh off a complete garbage draft.

That dude really does look like a honey badger.

Stanzi has only thrown for 300 or more yards once in college and makes stupid decisions early in games.

Other than that, there is nothing to dislike about the kid on or off the field.

Go download the tape from last preseason. Stanzi had shit for receivers and blocking. Not to mention that there were a couple games(Green Bay, Baltimore) where the opponents third string was better than our second string.

Watch Stanzi's preseason, all of it, at once. He threw quite a few accurate passes that were flat out dropped. Including one PERFECTLY thrown ball 25yds. down field that hit the guy(Horne? Lawerence?) in the bread basket, and he just drops it. Add into it that he LITERALLY ran for his life as soon as he got possession of the ball and threw plenty of balls away.

Don't forget, his only interception was a quick pass that his the receiver right in the hands didn't snag it, and the defender made a play on the tip drill.

THE DONKS ARE ****ED NOW, BABY!

http://i48.tinypic.com/289vnk8.jpg

That's because he throws the ball with such violence most mere mortals cannot catch it with two hands. If Pioli was a real GM he would've drafted some WR's with four arms in the draft.

Usually Clay's photoshops are entertaining.

That's silly.

Three arms would have been more than enough.

4 arms...heh

Of the few games i've seen, I think it's safe to say he has the "it" factor. One game he threw 5 interceptions through 3 quarters. And still came back and pulled it off

This can't be true...I hope it isn't.

If it is, he is on pace to throw for less 300 yards than Cassel. :banghead:

Of course it's true. Iowa is a run first team. Period.

Last one for the night...

http://i.imgur.com/o5WUA.jpg

NOT OKAY.

He's from a relatively nearby school and he's a backup. That makes him instantly popular. Everybody loves a player who hasn't had a chance to fail.

Your work is 1000x better. Can you do gifs?

Strongside is amazing. If I cared to put in any effort he would still own me.

Take it easy. In college, he beat out Cassel by one in the 300-yard games category.

LMAO

He also threw 31 more interceptions.

Right. He's not just the next Tom Brady. He's what you would have if Tom Brady and Brett Favre had a baby and put a football in his hands.

Can he throw the ball over 50 yards without putting too much air under it...and dropping it over his receivers shoulder in-stride?

Shit, he can throw it "over them mountains"

Who can throw a rainboooow?
Complete it mid-striiide?
Kick Cassel out the door and win a Super Bowl or two?
The Stanzi Man!
The Stanzi Man can!
The Stanzi Man can, 'cause his dick is 12 feet long, he makes the Chiefs loook goooooooood

The only person that seems drunk and pissed off is you, Laz, but that's really nothing new, is it?

And I've spent entirely too much time waiting for something good to come out of the few late round QB's we've drafted over the years. We're all still waiting on that front. Hopefully Stanzi can be that guy, but I'll believe it when I see it.

I am chest thumped and pumped!

LETS HAVE US SOME ****ING STANZI TIME!1~:cuss:

LMAO

I'm working on some more verses for my "The Stanzi Man" song. Brb.

AND BE A STAAAAAAAAANZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

KIND OF MAN

And maybe someday you'll score and understand

BABY BE A STANZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

KIND OF MAN

Won't you do this for me Scott?

If you can

STANZIFEST DESTINY

Stanzi can't swim. Everytime he jumps in, the water runs away.

Stanzi throws so hard that even in a downpour the ball stays dry.

Ricki Stanzy to replace Eric Roberts in Best Of The Best 3.

Speaking of that...Eddie "The Human Drumstick" Drummond anyone?

Holtus would've had a heart attack over Isaiah "The Human Centi" Pead.
