He's got the size, he's got the arm, he's got the work ethic, he's got experience in the big games(which Cassel doesn't).....BUT for every game he looked great or every fantastic throw made under pressure, he'd make the most bone-headed Casselesque throw into triple coverage.
No offseason, no minicamps.....no work in the offseason in a professional capacity....no.
I'd rather he have more time to study and learn before being thrown to the wolves. maybe later in the season for experience.

I thought Stanzi was a gunslinger? He'd throw into triple coverage believing he'd make it fit. Cassel doesn't believe when he throws, he hopes. Seeing Stanzi looking downfield dodging the pressure during one of the preseasons games pretty much solidified him as an anti-Cassel in my mind.
Is he a chess grandmaster of the Manning/Brady cut like Luck is said to be? Probably not. He's not Cassel either though.
