He has the ability/talent...which is why this is frustrating.

I agree and disagree. I don't think Stanzi is ready, but it isn't a courage issue. Stanzi stands tall in the pocket and makes throws when he knows that he's going to get hit. Problem is, when everything turns to shit, he is lost right now. I believe that to be an issue of not knowing the playbook forward and back.
Stanzi hasn't yet had the luxury of learning umpteen new offenses in the NFL, so it's harder for him to learn a new offense in a short time not yet learning how to do that. Not only that, but everything that transfers from one offense to another, just different terminology.
Stanzi seems to be behind in the classroom, and things break down, he doesn't seem to know exactly where his help is supposed to be. Result, he panics.
With time, he will be fine. He proved a film rat at Iowa, and made huge improvements from his junior to his senior year. He's the type of guy I can see benefitting greatly from the ipad interactive playbooks. Which the team is rumored to be interested in switching to.
