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. |

I do remember him from the bowl game against Mizzou, a little. If memory serves, Iowa won that game more on Gabbert's boneheaded interceptions than anything Stanzi was able to pull off.

He seems to a competitor and leader.
Hoping he improves with this full offseason and makes some things happen. |

IIRC he was playing with the scrubs and STILL looked better than our POS starter running with the 1st string guys.

Our starter played mostly against scrubs and looked like hell. It's silly to note that a guy played against scrubs when he was playing WITH scrubs. Even worse, his lineman were revolving doors and I believe one had JUST converted from DL.
Not to mention that his receivers did everything they could to drop the passes he threw to them... |

I cant sell you on him.
If he plays better than Cassel and Quinn he should start. Pioli would sooner bite off his own clit before starting someone in lieu of his beloved Matt. |

Mallett did not suit up for a game this year either. EDIT: He suited up for one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Mallett Mallett made his preseason debut in the Patriots' first preseason game, a 47–12 rout of the Jacksonville Jaguars on August 11. He played the entire second half, completing 12 of 19 passes for 164 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. The Patriots scored touchdowns on each of the first four drives Mallett led, and ran out the clock on his fifth and final drive. Mallett struggled in his next preseason games throwing an interception run for a touchdown in his second game. At his fourth preseason game against the Giants he was 6 for 16 for 57 yards. Mallett spent 2011 as the Patriots' third-string QB, behind Tom Brady and Brian Hoyer;[22] Mallett was inactive for 15 out of 16 regular season games in 2011 and was inactive for every post season game.

This was from Pioli if I recall correctly. Told Haley he couldn't play him unless Palko broke, RAC didn't play him either as you noticed. I still have no idea why.

Palko was a pawn used by our late coach, whose name I refuse to say, as a finger in the face of the "Management." Palko didn't beat anybody, and was only used because he sucked. This goes to show, even moreso, that Stanzi was kept on the bench, because he was more of a gamer then Palko, since the late coach didn't want to even be in the games... on purpose. So enough with using Palko was a topic for anything. Stanzi hasn't had his shot yet... when he does, let us judge him then, not on what he did in college or while riding the pine last season. |

So now I'm to believe that Stanzi is this secret weapon used against Pioli by Haley, just for what? Spite? This fifth rounder has so much potential that Haley decided to use Stanzi as the sword to kamikaze his head coaching career? I'm to believe that? |
