Just play Stanzi.

Id rather have Orton than the combination of Cassel and Palko, but that would mean Orton would have to be re-signed after the year and that would likely take money that would get us back into a repeating cycle not unlike the one we are hopefully on the tail end of.

Lets start a new path.

One that includes us starting our own kid for once in history.

START RICKY STANZI!

Agree, I want to know if he is a long term solution to the backup position for a 1st rd QB next year...

This. I've said this numerous times on this board. Now that we know we aren't going to win the division or compete in the playoffs, why not just put the kid in and see what he can do???

He could be a massive failure. And if he is, then we finish the season 4-12 and draft Barkley, RG3, Foles, or Tannehill. If he's not and he beasts, then we build on that for the future.

We literally have NOTHING to lose by playing Stanzi and NOTHING to gain by playing Palko.

Yeah.....totally different offense.....but hey....he's playing in the same stadium. He should be just fine.

STANZI!!!

**BossChief** · 11-22-2011, 08:37 PM

If we claimed Orton, we would still only have two of our qbs under contract for next year.

Cassel and Stanzi.

That gives us ONE quarterback that is under contract next year that is active.

Just off that information, don't they pretty much have to start the kid at some point?

**hometeam** · 11-22-2011, 08:39 PM

I knew I would see this thread when I got off work.

I havent read any of the responses so forgive me but,

Why WOULDNT we claim him?

**petegz28** · 11-22-2011, 08:41 PM

We aren't going to start Stanzi at all this year until maybe game 16 and we aren't going to sign Orton. Orton would make a good back up but that's the point. Pioli won't do it and they will say it isn't worth bringing him in for 5 games since it would take him at least a week to get up to speed to start.

That requires logic. Our front office doesn't operate like that.

Okie_Apparition · 11-22-2011, 08:49 PM

Palko should get another start or two. Does not mean he has to finish the game.
I guess Orton would be up to speed by then. I don't see much point in it though

Yeah... just because he's the only available QB familiar with some of the Chicago skill position players, knows the wind conditions in the stadium, knows the weather conditions, and is familiar with everything else from the media to how to drive to work in the morning, obviously means he's a poor choice, because you think it so. "facepalm".

Start Stanzi the rest of the season. How hard is it to understand you need to see if he is the long term answer or not?

He isnt the long term answer as a starter, but we need to know if he is the long term answer as our backup for damn sure...

Because they need to figure out if Stanzi is the answer.
