Chiefs Next year's back up QB - Page 2

**RealSNR** · 11-20-2012, 10:41 AM

I don't think we should draft two QBs this year. At least not two high-pick QBs.

Draft Geno Smith at #1 overall, yes. But then either consider a throwaway 6th/7th round guy or go find somebody else. Our new franchise guy is going to need as much help as he can get in his first year. If that 3rd/4th round pick can be spent on a guy like Shayne Skov at ILB or Robert Lester at S, it eliminates the need to continue trotting out garbage, or finding crap free agents like Elam or Routt.

My dream scenario is to draft Geno, keep Stanzi, and sign Bruce Gradkowski in free agency. There needs to be SOME kind of veteran on that squad- it can't be all 100% developmental guys.

Smith
Gradkowski
Stanzi

That's a solid group of QBs, one that looks forward to the future. If we really need another young prospect, we should look to the draft next year.

Of course we are, but the coach isn't going to say that just yet. He's still trying to "right the ship" and all of that b.s.

I want to play Stanzi more that just about anyone, but it probably won't happen till like three or four games to go.

I agree. High pick, vet and Stanzi to carry jocks.

Chief_For_Life58 · 11-20-2012, 11:14 AM

why does stanzi even warrant a roster spot at this point? he hasent shown dick. cut his worthless ass n draft another 5 th rounder to be 3rd string

**RealSNR** · 11-20-2012, 11:16 AM

Ya'll are underrating Gradkowski by a lot.

He'll do exactly what a backup QB should do. Keep everybody's heads above water and bide his time until a definitive play can be made that will win the game.

And he's not exactly an old fart. If Geno Smith should get injured, Gradkowski has a good shot at playing pretty well. That's trade bait.

Because he'd be a 3rd ****ing string.

Some of you act like your 3rd string QB should be as good as other teams' starters.

You never invest anything too expensive in your 3rd string QB. Ever. You do like the Packers do and occasionally draft a 6th or 7th round guy and let him sit on the bench a long time. If he shows promise in practice, then you promote him. If not, then you cut him.

Stanzi was a 5th round pick, but he's here. So keep him on. Don't invest another draft pick into a player who is not supposed to ever see the field as long as he sits at 3rd string.

**BossChief** · 11-20-2012, 11:21 AM

Seriously, if they aren't gonna at least play Stanzi for 2-3 games before the end of the year, why don't they just cut his ass and start with a clean slate at QB next year. We will be starting with a new coaching staff and that means a third playbook for the kid to learn anyways...throw his ass out there with enough time to give him an evaluation to see if he deserves a roster spot next year or not.

Its not like he can be much worse than Quinn or Cassel.

The ONLY downside to playing the kid is that he could **** up our chances of getting Geno Smith.

We usually agree on most things on here, but man....that guy is crap.

He has never completed 55% of his throws in a year...is 6-14 as a starter...has 21 tds to 44 combined ints and fumbles...

I just dont know what you see in the guy.

**The Franchise** · 11-20-2012, 11:27 AM

Smith
Stanton
Stanzi

The Killer Sssssssss.

I had no idea his stats were that bad. Yikes.

I guess the two games I've seen him play for the Bucs were anomalies, then? He looked pretty good when I saw him last time he was starting.

Stanton has never done shit. We need a backup that has at least accomplished something.
