Didn't look like anything special to me. Sure, he didn't have a lot of time, but his accuracy still didn't look very good and his arm isn't as good as some people on here claim. He has some zip on the intermediate passes, but that's about it. People will probably crucify me, but he doesnt' look any better than Cassel.

Stanzi was a rookie then and Cassel is 29.

Dumbass.

He showed some inaccuracy but weve all seen cassel miss throws much worse than those.

Please. Let's see what we have in this mythical character.

IIRC the first day of the draft last year was where the players and coaches could have contact. There was a few days window where the courts overruled some things, then it was reversed. Some players like Cam Newton were able to get playbooks in that time frame. Day 2 and day 3 players... no.

Video 1 and 2 he didn't have a chance to do anything before the OL collapsed. He did show some quick feet and athleticism. Video 3, I liked much more. When given some time he can make the throws. He should be given the chance to start. He's already no worse than Cassel is right now. At least he has an upside.

I really liked his quick decisions in the pocket. Makes Cassel look inept.

Stanzi City Chiefs Baby!

If we had a lineman that was among the worst in the league and was directly costing us games, I'd give one of those dudes that shined in preseason - even slightly - a shot. Especially if the starter was out for season and we had nothing to lose.

I guess I'm now converting to a Stanzi blind supporter. We have no other choice.

It's either Stanzi (or Brady I suppose) turn into our long term QB or we have to pull a Washington Redskins type of trade to get a top tier QB.

Could be huge to catch that kind of break.

Thanks! Just got to watch them. :thumb:

First off, there is no doubt in my mind that with the team we have built here around Matt Cassel... that Cassel can lead us to somewhere between 7 to 9... maybe even 10 wins.

The thing is, with the team we have assembled, I also believe that Stanzi could also lead this team to the same 7 to 9 wins... maybe even 10 wins.

We know what Cassels upside is. He has 55 career starts... and he is what he is. A mediocre QB at best.

Who knows if Stanzi will be anything but mediocre either. But you can see in just those few clips that he can bring something to the table that offers hope that he just may have something more than being just an average QB.

And for my money, I would muuch rather watch a 7 to 9 or 10 win season with Stanzi at the helm.

Just watched all 3. Whew that was rough.

Reminded me of just how bad our preseason was. Seemingly not even trying. Just dump offs one after another. Games 1 & 2 didn't look too bright. But 3 was much better.

Hope he pans out. Having said that, I'm not entirely convinced that Brady Quinn doesn't give us just as good of a shot, if not better, to be that future guy. Yes I know we're talking about Brady Quinn here. But keep in mind I'm comparing him to a 2nd year 5th round draft choice.

Brady was a former 1st rounder forced to start his career in Cleveland where all QBs go to die. He's only 27.

I'll be curious to see how they compare this offseason.

Stanzi > casshole

Beat me to it.

Have to disagree Stanzi flashed a bit on maybe 3-4 plays in 3 games he wasn't ready at all then. Palko out played him. That said he has had a year and I hope he gets a shot the preseason to show what he can do. It shouldn't take much to unseat Cassel.

Interesting that at least half of the posts in this thread involve the offensive line. And yet, all I heard prior to the draft was how irrelevant the offensive line is in "today's game." ROFL Anybody who thought that, wrote that or even entertained that idea is as dumb as dirt and should be castrated immediately.

Stanzi may end up being a terrific QB, but who will ever know if he's running for his f'ing life?

Yes, we'd all love to have an Andrew Luck on our roster, but that's not how the real world works. KC's best play right now is to develop what we have at QB, protect the shit out of them, and get the ground game going. With the defense we should have, that should be enough to get us to the playoffs.
