Fantasy Football The Mythical Ricky Stanzi - Page 5

**Bowser** · 04-29-2012, 05:27 PM

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.

Statistically, yes. Palko and Stanzi are the same QB. And their statistics are both better than Cassel's from this preseason.

In the eye test, the two QBs aren't even comparable. Stanzi is far superior.

Stanzi actually has qb skills. At this point he isn't having to work on his mechanics like our starter, who has to consistently be told how to play the position.

IMO, by the time a guy gets to the NFL, these things should be a given. Some tweeking here and there, yeah probably so.

But the basics of playing quarterback should be mastered. There is too much other shit going on at such a high speed during the game that drops, arm angle, vision etc shouldn't have to be worried about.

Question for Bowser:

We didn't draft Tannehill, and we didn't draft everybody's boyfriend Brock Osweiler. Sorry, but his boyish smile and adorable curly locks won't be gracing your television screens this fall for the red and gold.

The free agents are gone. Drew Brees likely is going to stay in New Orleans. Sorry to say, but our three QBs next year are Cassel, Quinn, and Stanzi.

Which guy gives you the greatest hope, no matter how irrational it may seem to you, to bring success to the Chiefs this year?

And if you say Cassel I shall say rude things to you.

Yup, proven fail. 52.1% completions with 5.4 ypa. 3-9 in those 12 starts. Hasn't taken a snap in a game since 2009.

Cassel.

I have no doubt that Stanzi is the hand picked future qb of this franchise. He met all the criteria and Scott is playing this one, damn near exactly the way it was played in NE.

IMO, i'd rather throw the guy in the fire this year and see what happens, but it won't be the case.

As it stands right this second, I'd have to say Quinn. He is definitely still a work in progress, but looks to have way more upside than Cassel, and Stanzi is a complete unkown.

**mlyonsd** · 04-29-2012, 06:42 PM

It's evident to me from our draft Pioli is putting an OL in place to find his next real QB. I'm good with that.

I'm no Pestilence, but Quinn has been completely screwed over in his NFL career thus far. Just as it looked as if his career was about to take off, Romeo gets fired from the Cleveland gig, and Quinn was relegated back to second string duty. Then came the circus of Tebow with the Broncos.

Honestly, he may be facing the same shit here.

Quite possible.

I honestly can't say I've seen a lot of "hype" on here for Stanzi other than from BossChief mostly its just people sick of watching Mark Castle shit his pants and preferring anything to another wasted start on him.

Simplicity · 04-29-2012, 06:52 PM

Ricky Stanzi is calm, cool, collect. In college he looked more NFL ready then anyone else on the field. Occasional floaters but nothing to get excited about. Potential is high... and yes... The Palko move was a Haley move... Did you even watch those games with Palko starting? Did you see Haley at all? He was causing problems on the side-line and calling dumb calls... He was fine being fired cause he knew he was going to get a job somewhere else. He knew Pioli hated him so he wanted to stick it to Pioli. Pioli's and Haley's personalities are way two different things which was bad news.

Only more fail by you

Why do you think Quinn couldn't beat out Tim Tebow? Do you think he was actually the third best QB on that roster behind Orton and Tim Terrific?
