Stanzi > Bray
Ricky Stanzi has Andy Reid's Chiefs offense 'down pat', competing with Tyler Bray
By Joel Thorman on Jun 23 2013, 9:33a @JoelThorman 3 Denny Medley-US PRESSWIRE The offseason program is over and training camp is near. Who is leading the Kansas City Chiefs third quarterback battle -- Tyler Bray or Ricky Stanzi? One report states it's close. It's time for your KC Chiefs third quarterback battle update. And it's a good one. Dan Pompei of National Football Post has his weekly (and excellent) NFP Sunday Blitz article posted and under the "Things I didn't used to know" section he has a surprising update on the Tyler Bray vs. Ricky Stanzi battle for the Chiefs third quarterback (behind Chase Daniel who is behind Alex Smith). Let's walk through this one by one. "Ricky Stanzi might have the early edge over Tyler Bray because word out of Chiefs camp is he has Andy Reid's offense down pat." The last Stanzi vs. Bray update Not once has this story line been brought up this offseason. This is great news for Stanzi and for the Chiefs. The harder this decision is, the better the team will be for it. Also interesting is this answer from Mocking The Draft's Dan Kadar earlier this month on Bray vs. Stanzi: "If you're judging off natural physical ability, it's Bray. If your guess is based on the ability to comprehend and execute a playbook, it's Stanzi." Nailed it. "But Bray looks like he has more physical talent. In fact, there are those in the Chiefs offices who believe Bray throws as well as any quarterback in the draft." So it's a question of the mental side of the game vs. the physical side. When you frame it like that, this decision becomes awfully interesting. I think we can learn a little bit from Andy Reid here. "If Bray gets in line and conforms to be a professional, he will be difficult to beat out." Bray has never been in the NFL and Stanzi has never played any meaningful snaps. Bray gets the potential tag because he's younger but both players are total unknowns right now. For most of the offseason I have believed Bray would win this competition. Why else would the Chiefs sign him unless they thought he could win the job? This new report puts a little more faith in Stanzi. Importnat to note (again): We have no idea how well Stanzi can or can't play. We can guess. But he has no experience. "The Chiefs are hopeful that will happen under the direction of Reid, Brad Childress, Doug Pederson and Matt Nagy, and with help from Smith and Daniels." I now understand the frustration of Mizzou fans all those years when someone spelled or pronounced it Chase "Daniels". I see it all the time now. http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2013/6...nse-tyler-bray |

I know the chances of this are pretty much 0%, but good God....cut Daniels. What a terrible move. I hated the Smith move...Hate the Daniels move 10 times worse.

It will be interesting to see Stanzi in the preseason run the offense. I actually think that Stanzi is not that dissimilar to Smith.

The thing I hate the most about being a Chiefs fan is year after year, liking the #3 and #4 QB's better than our freaking starter and back-up. My God that is frustrating...and humiliating, really.
If only Smith wouldn't have had that deceptive playoff run and ultra-padded stats last year...then maybe, maybe he'd be out of the league by now and he wouldn't be our guy. Maybe people would freaking REMEMBER his GLARING deficiencies for his first 5-6 years in the league. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! That pigskin shot-putting dipshit!!!!! WHYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!? "You gotta have a quarterback." -Mike Singletary (frustrated after being fired...after Smith had gone through OC after OC who couldn't work with Smith, year after year and the evidence of Smith's suckage was staggering). |

The thought of Stanzi in a WCO is an extremely intriguing one....no one can convince me otherwise. I think this offense is compatible with his skill-set. Reid said himself that there really wasn't much of a data set from Stanzi in his NFL preseason playing time to really make an accurate assessment...hence why he watched every....single....down....he played....in every....single....college.... game he played in....and was admittedly interested afterwards. Basically said what I have thought all along regarding Stanzi's disastrous preseason showing last year....we know nothing more, nothing less about Stanzi after observing what we did considering the circumstances. Cassel and Quinn didn't have to deal with defenders down their throat, literally a microsecond after the ball being snapped. We knew NOTHING about Stanzi after least season's TC/preseason. Add in Daboll's weird offense and it was just an all-around bad situation for him last year. Last edited by rico; 06-23-2013 at 10:54 PM.. Reason: DANIEL NOT DANIELS |

Being a hawkeye homer, all I have to say is I hope Stanzi grew another arm during the off season. I think he'd have to play with Montana like brilliance to overcome the arm strength he showed in college.

Neither will amount to shit which ensures Chiefs fans everywhere will be enamored with both.
