I do not understand why Stanzi did not play tonight.
 

Cassel lead us to another garbage TD!! Why not play the kid?

He's probably terrible too.

Who ****ing cares?

He's terrible.

Cassel needs to wear this albatross of suck all year long. We don't want him ruining another team now do we?

I like to think we're sending a warning to the NFL about Peeholy and Casshole!

Because he's worse than Cassel.

Romeo is not exactly sure.

It's unconscionable.

FAX

because he sucks

because he sucks

Because Matt Cassel is the Garbage Man.

It doesn't matter if he sucks. He needs the PT.

FAX

He's busy fetching Romeo's food orders.

Personally I would like to see him get some game time. That way I know for certain we need to go ahead and get rid of him with cassel and Quinn.

It makes no sense.

Why draft the guy if you have no intentions of playing him?

Games are out of hand. The only reason cassel is in there is that hes a "game manager" who is supposed to take care of the ball and not make mistakes. Granted some of them arent on him but hes obviously not doing that job well.

What do you have to lose?

With all due respect, the abilty of this team's coaching staff to evaluate any position, let alone the quarterback is questionable at best.

There's no way in hell that is a one man job.

Because garbage time IS Cassel time! Woo hoo!

And another thing, did anyone else laugh aloud when Romeo was covering his mouth on the second to last play when San Diego was taking a knee? What damned difference would it make if San Diego had someone read his lips? The game was over! They may as well have had the defense do the River Dance, FFS. It was over!! What a moronic excuse for a coach. Herm could beat this oaf at checkers.

I do not like green eggs and ham.

Who is stanzi?

This...

Seriously?

Stanzi was a ****ing 5th round pick.

He was drafted with hope. There is no hope. Therefor he doesn't play.

There are players who get drafted late and then cut in the same ****ing year. And here we are bitching about some dude who's probably worse than Cassel not getting a couple snaps when he couldn't even be respectable in preseason.

no, it is quite clear that they only acquire terrible QBs

He's practice squad material

Just do the kid a favor and give him some game reps. What do you have to lose?

Not playing him is cheezy.

FAX

Don't care. Fire Pioli.

He's a handpicked Pioli selection. Trust me, he sucks...

I'm all for him playing if he can throw the ball through the luxury box and into Peeholy's face.

Where would tom brady be if the patriots hadnt turned to him?

And before i have multiple idiots quoting this bitching at me for calling stanzi the next brady, i am not saying that.

My only hope is that he slipped through the cracks.

At this point, who the **** knows?

Wouldn't surprise me if they throw Stanzi a bone and let him start a game or two at the end of the season once the Chiefs are 1-13.

There's no reason not to play him

Tyler ****ing Palko has some NFL starts so why not at the end of the year.

Doubtful. Pioli gravitates toward shitty QBs.

Hell, even Palko was able to sneak in to garbage time vs. Chargers @ SD in 2010...

'Cuz he's a damn grown-ass man who still goes by Ricky.

I am not saying he would be great or even any good but at this point does it even matter that much? We have had four years to see what we have in Cassel, I am just saying why not give the kid four minutes?

Because the kid does not belong in the NFL

All these points are great!! You say he sucks or even he doesn't belong in the NFL!! If those are such great points about Stanzi, then why do we keep playing Cassel? At least Stanz has age going for him at this point!

Thats all thats being asked... find out once and for all if there are glimmers of talent worth taking a closer look at, and move forward accordingly.

He sucks? who gives a damn, its NOT going to get any worse, so why not see.

Pretty sure you would have seen a glimmer in preseason against 2's and 3's.

But all that was seen was a steaming pile of shit.

Stanzi is a poor man's Brodie Croyle.

I refuse to look at the preseason as stanzis realistic shot. He was under pressure nearly every play.

It doesn't matter.

He's on the ****ing team and is something new and different. Any other coach desperate as Pioli and Crennel for a win would have exhausted ALL their options by now.

It doesn't logically make any sense how a regime can be fighting for their jobs so passionately yet be overlooking an obvious possibility that they haven't tried yet.

Same shit Quinn dealt with but did he look like a completely overmatched dildo?

Hell ... forget all the "finding out" stuff. It's just stupid not to give your only freaking backup at the moment some game reps.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

FAX

Preseason, shmeseason... you cant bank ANYTHING on that.

Put him out there for real and lets find out for sure.

There is absolutely NOTHING to lose.

I've stated this in another thread but it bears repeating.

Everyone outside of the secretary pool at One Arrowhead Drive is facing certain and impending unemployment.

If Romeo, Daboll, Nick Sirriani, the towel boy, or the guy that applies weekly collagen injections to Winston's DSL's, thought they could win with Stanzi, he'd be in the lineup.

FWIW, Kent Babb stated repeatedly this offseason (and last) that Stanzi would never be an NFL QB. Although I'm absolutely certain that Kent has more knowledge of personnel than Pioli, it's a fairly good bet that Pioli doesn't want him on the field, either.

The Chiefs stellar preseason record since 2007 has been a false indicator

Pioli. Pioli. Pioli.

Pretty sure Kent Babb said Stanzi was our best qb during OTAs.

He did...and said something about hoping he wasn't digging his twitter grave or something along those lines. It was the day training camp began. His perception shifted during TC and preseason. What would lead to Stanzi looking like the best QB in OTA's, but the worst in TC? What is it they do differently in TC?

Its hard to argue with that, because its true... but what other option is there at this point, more biding our time with cassel, brodie quinn?... the current math says its atleast worth a look, if only by virtue of him being the only QB left.

I have to maintain that nothing can be any worse, play the kid.

On Star Trek, you'd always see the Enterprise trying to escape from a violent space anomaly or trying to avoid annihilation from a fleet of enemy ships. The situation is always the same. Shield/energy/weapons/life support goes on a gradual countdown. 87%... 64%... 42%... 39%... 15%...

Then (let's just say Picard) says "Options? Mr. LaForge!"

Then LaForge says, "Captain, we've got a hull breach imminent if we don't get out of here, but we need power converted through the plasma manifolds, and if they take on any more stress they'll buckle! We'll have a warp core breach!"

Then Picard's just like, "Well, what the **** can we do?"

Then Data turns around and says, "Captain, why not use the graviton energy from our tractor beam to form a barrier around the plasma coolant while power is routed through those systems? I estimate we would have 15 seconds of time to get our warp engines back online. However, we suffer the risk of overloading the censory matrix. The entire sector would be flooded with graviton radiation"

Captain: *as shit is exploding and catching on fire around him* "MAKE IT SO!"

*It works and the episode ends*

Know why Captain Picard always says "Yes" to that crazy idea? Because if he doesn't, he's going to ****ing die, that's why.

Right now Pioli and Crennel are stalling, saying, "Just give the shields some time. They'll hopefully hold long enough until we receive help"

We may as well turn to the crazy solution and try to get something going.

How does everybody know for sure if Stanzi sucks or not? What is this based on?

So ... that means that Dr. Crusher gives Clark a morphine injection and a BJ?

FAX

Pretty sure Deanna Troi does that. What else is she going to do in combat?

That's probably a better scenario than Mr. LaForge.

Stanzi sucks because in 5 or 6 plays in preseason, he was literally hit before he was done with his drop back and he couldn't turn that into 50 yard touchdown passes.

Also, he overthrew an open receiver once.

He was a fifth rounder. Tyler Palko started before him. Kyle Orton started before him. Brady Quinn started before him.

Every member of the Chiefs coaching staff and front office are facing certain job loss. If Stanzi had proven anything on the practice field, he'd be in a game.

Occam's Razor.

there is no conspiracy to hold down the #3 QB on the worst team in the league people....jesus ****ing christ

you keep asking the same stupid ****ing question over and over just because you don't like the obvious and correct answer...

I agree lets see if he has anything at all or else we need 3 QBs next season.

Stanzi would be on the field if he had beaten Brady Quinn in training camp. He didn't.

Now that Quinn was put in because Cassel sucks, Cassel I guess is the #2. Because Romeo wants the veteran or some shit like that who will give us the best chance to win. That's faulty ****ing logic. He wanted a new direction, so when that new direction is gone, the old direction is the best direction now?

Right now Stanzi should be starting. Period.

The guy is third string behind Cassel and Quinn, for Pete's sake. As far as I'm concerned, that means that he probably couldn't make the roster of any other team in the league.

That's not all that goes into these dumb****s heads though, Dane.

Listen to Romeos reasoning for who he plays and his biggest factor is experience.

He literally thinks that the more experience a guy has, the better chance he gives you to win.

Listen to the pressers.

No, it's not a conspiracy. It's just stupidity.

When you are dangerously low in chip count in a poker game, you are forced to be reckless with your remaining chips. Playing conservatively won't get you back in the game.

By going to Cassel tonight, Romeo is still folding on high suited runners before the flop just because other people are getting into the pot. He's a shitty poker player and a shitty coach.

ROFL

sure...whatever floats your boat...

Because he sucks worse than Cassel. Think about that.

Look, I know you're a Stanzi fan and all and I've flipped you shit (sometimes unnecessarily so) but if Romeo doesn't know he's fighting for his job, he's dumber than anyone that's ever coached, played, managed or had any role in the NFL.

If Ricky Stanzi could deliver, he'd be on the field.

Stanzi must be a horrifically shitty QB to not see the field.


Eventually we will get bored with the team's current failures, and Stanzi will be good for a lot of new, fresh laughs during the last 2-3 games.

Whatever. I don't give a flying **** if Stanzi plays or not. We're far from done in losing enough games. Stanzi would probably lose them all just like Cassel and Quinn would.

I'm just saying. If I were Crennel and I wanted to keep my job next year, I'd be trying everything. I'd be pulling all the levers. Pushing all the buttons.

And I'll bet you would all be doing the same. Feel free to say, "Whatever, Stanzi sucks" but you all know you would.

He'd probably last 5 plays, get a concussion, and Cassel would return.

Win-win.

The guy was benched during a pre season game

Romeo forgot he was active

LMAO

Play him for the simple reason to keep the #1 over all pick locked up.

The dude is garbage and makes Cassel look like Manning. I am all for playing the 5th round nobody.

All he has to do is hand off and not fumble. That already makes him better than Mark Castle.

NOTHING is worse than Cassel. Bringing back TYLER ****ING PALKO would be better than Cassel. Why some can't see this blows my mind.

This isn't true at all.
