Here is what I wrote in the Quinn/Stanzi thread, probably should put it in here as well:
Cassel
*Like milkman has said from day one, Cassel in the shotgun with one read is at his best - he showed that tonight
*Only targeted Baldwin once - just alot of little dump passes to McCluster.
*Hillis touchdown was wide the **** open
*Missed a huge play to Charles
*Very very few pressures from the Cardinals, that is when the true Cassel comes out
Grade = A- This is basically was Cassel at his best tonight. We have one scary ass offense though especially with Bowe coming back.
Quinn
*Quinn is pretty good at going through the progressions which we haven't seen in KC for a while
*His pass on the pass interfernce call was one hell of a throw. That was in my end zone and you throw that to Bowe, Baldwin or Breaston and thats six easy.
*When he threw to legit NFL roster players, he looked good. Quinn to Copper was working tonight.
*That being said, its probably a good thing he over threw Copper on that one. Copper got cheap shotted on that anyways, he might have got really crushed if that was on the money
*Running game wasn't the best when Quinn was in. I think Cyrus Gray is better than Shaun Draughn thats
*Quinn with his legs made chicken shit out chicken salad tonight a couple of times
*The bootleg on the goal line was questionable without having a tight end option IMO. But Sam Acho of Arizona slow played it perfectly. That was text book DE play.
*The interception - I didn't get a good read on it. I couldn't tell if Wylie tipped it or not. Anyways that was a time, he should have just took the sack instead of forcing something.
*Bottom line with Quinn tonight - looked good when he played with NFL talent, not so much with the camp fodder. He showed me he could step in a play if Cassel was hurt.
Quinns Grade = B-
Stanzi
*Cyrus Gray was a beast. Damn we are deep at running back.
*His post to Maneri was right on the money
*Also threading the needle to O'Connell was good
*The end zone toss, pretty decent throw - maybe just a little more air on it and we don't have camp fodder trying to land like he did
*Bottom line tonight with Sanzi - improving young QB, probably a year away from taking over the backup role
Stanzi's grade = B-
