I am talking about people saying that they know what we have in Stanzi because they saw three preseason games in meaningless snaps. Same people who said Cassel turned everything around and was held back by Haley because he had two good starts in meaningless games against vanilla defenses.

The idea that we know what we have in a QB because of preseason games is outright laughable. Just as it was outright laughable that Giants fans and Chargers fans were scared shitless because their young QBs completely shit their pants in the early-going. I think people forget how bad Eli and Rivers looked in their first starts. They were really, really bad.

And neither were 5th round picks...

IF you are going to compare Stanzi to someone, you need to compare him to 5th round QB's that are still starting in the league...

It would be like comparing Terrance Copper to Jerry Rice if he only have the chance to prove himself.

WTF do you think these teams are doing during training camp and practice? Playing lawn darts? Shit they have been evaluating him for some time now. What more do you need?

I'm not comparing his upside and abilities to Eli Manning. I'm comparing him to an undrafted QB, Matt Cassel.

In terms of evaluation. The Chiefs have been evaluating Cassel for 3 years. Pioli has had, what, 7 years? How much more do you need there to prove he's NOT the answer?
