Are we so starved for a quarterback, ANY quarterback, that we bring up through the ranks to finally break through and be THE GUY that we would put this seemingly average and nondescript player up on a pedestal? I mean, seriously, he couldn't even beat out Tyler Palko for the backup gig. Tyler. Freaking. Palko. It makes me wish I were more of a Hawkeye fan just so I could buy into the "hype" surrounding him. I haven't seen this much hopefull wishing since Casey Printers and Ted White didn't make the team.
So, sell me on this phenom named Stanzi. I dare you.

Pretty simple, there are a lot of very vocal Iowa fans on CP who think the sun rises and sets on Stanzi.
He may end up being a terrific starting QB at some point (hopefully soon), but there is nobody who could really know at this point based on what we've seen.
