Stanzi on performance during the preseason and preparation for upcoming game:

“The preseason is a great chance to learn, obviously, and I think that is what we did as a team and we’re still trying to build off of that. Every week we’re trying to learn from our mistakes and build on those, go to the next week and try to get better. I know it’s cliché, but that’s really all you can do in any type of situation you get in –whether you’re winning or losing – you have to take it one game at a time, one practice at a time and just try to get better.”

...

Lots or those word things, absolutely no substance.

My dad is a Hawkeye alum. I watched plenty of Stanzi. The best thing I can say about him is he's an extreme homeless man version of Matt Ryan. And that's being VERY generous.

**BossChief** · 10-12-2012, 01:42 PM

Mayock had Stanzi in the same group as Dalton as a prospect...but he is shit because he went to Iowa.

BTW...Iowa lost the two bowl games prior to Stanzi getting there and lost the one after he left, too...but strangely they won the 3 bowl games while he was there.

Don't let me sway this discussion with facts, though.

It's a shame you haven't seen more of the kid play, your opinion about him would be different.

But he didn't.

Personally, I don't give a **** where he played and that's the point: If he played for the University of San Diego, there wouldn't be 10,000+ posts pimping the guy.

Ive seen him play plenty and each time my opinion of him gets worse. Dude is not an NFL QB. Not now, not ever - What he is, is perfect "competition" for Cassel - Pioli style.

You can't say the same wouldn't have happened at another school.

Stanzi is incredibly raw and seems like he may be a little immature.

That said, there are undeniable physical gifts there and a knack for keeping plays alive and making things happen that you're either born with or you're Matt Cassel.

For a year or so he'd be among the worst QBs in the NFL. But I think by the end of a 2nd year, you'd have an average starting quarterback on your hands with room for improvement.

That said, I truly don't think the fans would have enough patience with him. The failure that is Matt Cassel has spread its funk over Stanzi as well. If Stanzi were to struggle, we'd have fans going nuts about how Pioli was trying to cheap out on the position again, etc, etc...

And there could perhaps be some truth to that. But in the end, I think Stanzi could have been a viable starting QB for us had we played him over Palko last year, let him take his lumps and come into this season as the starter.

I know for a fact that I would feel the same about Stanzi if he played for Mizzou, Kansas, or K-State simply because I would be similarly familiar with his capabilities because I see a few of these ballgames a year. I'm not an Iowa Homer whatsoever. I grew up there and I follow the Hawks because that's who I followed when I was a kid but I'm not rabid about any college team in particular. I even wear Mizzou and Texas gear around now and then. I'd buy a KU hat if I saw one I liked.

Damn bro, I didn't know you went to/lived in Iowa...we could have been homering it up together.

All jokes aside, homerun post

You mean the season that Tebow took the Broncos to the playoffs? Yeah....because they were going to bench him for Quinn.

Me, for one. I looked at Stanzi the same way I looked at all of the other QBs I watched on Saturdays. The fact he played at Iowa never figured into my opinion of him AT ALL after he left school.

He's not an elite talent but he has good size and had a knack for being super-clutch. With him at QB, Iowa won as BCS bowl which is pretty remarkable for a 2nd tier school filled with 2 and 3-star recruits.

facts?

he's a fifth round draft pick who has failed to even win a backup spot yet...he can't hold Dalton's jock

everything else is dudes in a circle masturbating...

He beat out an elite 11 QB but quite frankly that had more to do with Jake being the suck.

The same could be said for Todd Reesing though, right?

You may have been a non-homer but the other 10,000 posts were made by homers.

The bottom line is that the guy is the biggest myth since Brian Shay, except it just won't stop.

This to the mutha****in max. It's funny how most are screaming for a rookie QB, but they know damn well they don't have the patience for it. After Matt Ryan's first and second years people were saying he was okay but would never be the one. Now, they can't wait to suck on his discharge machine. Sometimes it takes time and no I'm not saying Stanzi is Matt Ryan dumbasses.
