You can cook up pretty much any conspiracy you want.

Yeah I dunno what to think about that, I just think that their minds were made up that Stanzi wouldn't play this season at all. No matter what happened.

I think they wanted him to sit and learn for a year.

What I have heard (and it's just rumor, so it's essentially baseless/worthless...) is that they actually gave him every opportunity to take the job during the latter half of the season. And that they were ultimately disappointed with his development in 2011.

But who knows. I'm surely not in the locker room.

This is an unpopular explanation since it suggests that the hope that people have attached to Stanzi is misplaced (and that the Chiefs are therefore no closer to having a QB than they've been in 20 years), but it is by far the most likely explanation. Far simpler and more plausible than the numerous conspiracy theories.

He didn't get on the field because he looked like dogshit, basically.
