The Mythical Ricky Stanzi

Why? Why is this guy held in such high regard around here? I remember him leading exactly *ONE* touchdown drive of note last preseason, and really don't remember him sticking in my memory as a guy that I'd love to have on my team coming out of college.

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.

Oh, and lets not forget that he didn't have much of an off season to get up to speed.

I, for one, am glad he didn't, and hope he had a little more time so he can mature and become the next Joe Montana.
Admit it - you grew up in Iowa City, didn't you?

True.

You can apply this thinking to ALL of our QB's this year. Hopefully with a full offseason with Zorn and Daboll, one of these turds can rise above the other.

Stanzi is a better QB than Palko, but in terms of pure performance he really didn't do better than Palko last year in preseason really. Stanzi completed just above 50% of his passes.

Exactly what I was saying. I haven't seen anything to get me excited about the possiblity of this kid coming in and taking over.

That being said, none of us have seen much of him since he's been in the pros.

There have been thousands of threads on this. And you've probably read all the arguments. You're just not convinced, that's all.

Here are my own takes on why Stanzi should start (especially now that we didn't draft anybody)

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=257176

I'd also just like to emphasize that you really need to watch his snaps during the preseason if you don't know what's special about the guy.

He came in behind Cassel and Palko late in the game when we were down to our 3rd string offensive line, backs, and receivers. I can't say enough bad things about that offensive line, other than I'm shocked that any of those pukes even got considered to play in the NFL as undrafted free agents. Those assholes I saw playing were about as unprepared and untalented as NAIA-level squad guys. COMPLETELY pathetic protection in front of Stanzi.

What did Stanzi show? Yeah, took a couple sacks, but he EXTENDED PLAYS. Who was the last Chiefs QB to extend plays? Thigpen, but he had the benefit of the pistol spread. Trent Green had a QB clock and a pocket presence that allowed him to narrowly avoid sacks and step up and throw like a pro, second probably only to Brett Favre at that time in the NFL (2002-2005). Stanzi got hit, clobbered, and massacred on nearly every drop back, but didn't quit. Made the first and second guy miss at least half the time, and usually got a fairly good pass off considering the circumstances most of the time.

It will be really entertaining to see him possibly work with our starting offensive line in some game this year. I'll betcha anything he'll shine more than Cassel ever has.

He works hard and he has a better arm than Cassel or Palko. Of course, Curtis Painter probably has a better arm than Cassel too.

Cam Newton completed 42% of his preseason passes. Is Stanzi better than him.
