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.

Let me explain it to you this way.
1) Cassel Sucks
2) There are a lot of Iowa fans around here who watched him play. (I am not a hawks fan, Cyclone actually, even though I support a change to Stanzi) Anyways, Imagine if you will, there was a Missouri or Kansas QB on the Chiefs roster that in 3 seasons threw 56 TD's over 7,000 yards, just 31 INT's in 907 attempts. Had a 26-9 record as starting QB, started and won all 3 of his Bowl games. Wouldn't fans want him to be just given a "Chance" to see what he could do in the NFL?
