What are people really expecting out of our 3rd stringer? Some of you act like if our 3rd stringer isn't Johnny Amazing then our QBs are terrible.
You need an elite starter. Your backup can be either a developmental guy with some upside or a game manager veteran. Your 3rd stringer is whatever is leftover. If you invest in him, it's to hope that he one day takes over the primary backup spot.
That's what Ricky Stanzi is. He's an adequate 3rd stringer until the new coaching staff gets a look at him. If they think he has upside, he should stay. If he doesn't, then he gets cut.
