Who cares when he got his playbook? Who cares when he first arrived in Kansas City, or saw Arrowhead?
"He met Romeo on Tuesday but he didn't shake his hand until Friday, and he didn't meet Lilja AND Haley until 45 minutes AFTER his playbook was autographed by Brodie Croyle's wife! And D Bowe wasn't even there!!"
How about this? He was a rookie quarterback playing behind a god-awful collection of scrub backup tackles. None of this video gives us an accurate vision of who Stanzi is or could be as a quarterback. We will - sadly - just have to wait and see.

Stanzi didn't practice any scrimmages that first week of training camp. If it's just him, that's fine. He should be able to overcome that. Rookies get signed late in training camp then play in the preseason games days later all the time.
In this case, not only did Stanzi not practice any scrimmages, but neither did the offensive line and his backs and receivers for that matter. And most of the guys he had on the field at the time had ZERO NFL experience.
So yes, that week did matter in evaluating some of his mistakes in those videos.
But like you said, it's a new season with a new coach who actually possesses a modicum of common sense. Stanzi's had a year of practices and he knows his teammates. Last year's tape can't tell us anything about how he'll do in the future other than we at least have seen examples where he played pretty damn well. He showed great feet, poise, felt the rush, and was able to deliver some pretty sexy well-timed strikes.
