The Mythical Ricky Stanzi

This video proves that Scott Pioli sucks at evaluating OL depth.

I'm really afraid of what that means drafting as big of a project guy as Stephenson.

God, I'd forgotten how awful our team was in the preseason and the beginning of the season last year. Those were dark times.

Yup that was Todd Haleys fault still to this day posters won't hold him accountable either.

The players on that field in this video, especially the OL, are not Haley's fault. Luke Patterson and these other schmucks were picked up by Pioli. The talent on the other teams 2nd/3rd string were more often than not far superior to what the Chiefs fielded. Hell, on of Stanzi's starting tackles was a converted Dlineman. He just started playing tackle THAT training camp, in a shortened offseason, who was it? Bobby Greenwood?

I can't blame it all on Pioli. If you watch UDFA signings every year around the league, certain teams clean up, like Baltimore. It makes no sense though, these players go to teams that are STACKED at their particular position, and might never truly get a shot playing for that team. I know coaching has a lot to do with it, like Greenbay with WR's and Baltimore with LBers, but damn, you'd think players would want to go to a team THIN at their position. So they might get a chance at more playing time...

NONE of these guys looked prepared whatsoever. They looked the same a month later too.

Anyone who can watch that film clip and not see the difference between Stanzi and Cassell is certifiable.

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.

He can throw the Pig Skin a quarter mile and knock you off a bike with a t bone steak--oh wait I think that was in a movie?

ummmm "Hey Ricki your so fine you blow my mind HEY RICKI!!!!

His theme song is catchy.

RICKI?!?!?!



NO WAY do I want Ricki leading this team.

id like to see Stanzi with real NFL talent around him not 10 other guys where 8 of them are currently out of league

[saphojunkie]

Jeez no wonder we drafted Donald Stephenson. Mims is unbelievably bad.

[Ace Gunner]

if ever there was a "trent green pt II" this is the guy. noodle arm but smart & patient, has some close range accuracy.

but without a stellar OL and a smart tough RB like PH, green was nothing and that's like ricki stanzi was last pre season.

it could work out for him like it did green. maybe not.

Stanzi and Green had noodle arms?

Some guys think if you don't GUN the ball down the field like it was show out of a cannon you have a noodle arm. I don't get that line of thinking. If the ball has any arc at all, you have a noodle arm, when in fact, you're giving your receiver a chance to run up under the ball and make a play. Especially, if you are very accurate with that type of ball, like Stanzi or Green.
