Odds are against it. I certainly am all for drafting a QB. That being said QBs have won SBs from later rounds and at the very least he has a better chance than Cassel because 0.05% is better than 0.00%.

So a guy who can't unseat Tyler freaking Palko for backup is supposed to be the savior of the team?

Sorry, don't buy it. Let him set the bench, maybe dress if you're out of contention in both season and game, play him in garbage time to get accustomed to NFL speed so to speak. Then give him a full year of OTAs and training camp, then split starts with whomever in preseason.

Then you'll have a greater understanding of who you have in Stanzi.

He can play circles around Palko. Stanzi isn't an option as the #2 QB at this point. He's being developed and that's to be his focus. Not worrying about getting ready to play next weeks opponent. Ryan Mallet has been inactive every game too, is he not good enough to be a backup?

Apparently you didn't watch the preseason. He did quite well given the talent around him. His receivers dropped so many perfectly thrown balls it wasn't even funny. Also his the INT he threw was a receivers fault. He looked more like an NFL QB in his very limited preseason work than Cassel ever has.

Feel free to be pessimistic though, it's probably the smart thing to do as a Chiefs fan.

In the meantime...here's his 2009 highlights...

No, I did not watch Stanzi in the preseason, you're right. It's not being pessimistic, I feel like the point of having guys on your roster is that they're there to contribute on any given Sunday. If they can't, they don't dress. If they can't, then it seems clear to me that they're going to wind up being replaced by someone who can down the road.

Comparing Stanzi to Mallet: it makes sense, though I feel like New England looks more to Mallet as a possible QBOTF of the future prospect more so than KC feels similarly towards Stanzi. IMO, drafting Stanzi as a 5th rounder leads me to the inclination he's around to be backup QBOTF; Palko /next year's journeyman signing replacement. I don't think the FO/Pioli in April / currently are looking out for any sort of QBOTF prospect because they think Cassel is going to be the guy for the next 5-7 years. In essence, Stanzi is to Matt Cassel today as Matt Cassel was to Tom Brady in 2005.

I don't think its fair to assume that the reason he hasn't passed Palko has anything to do with skill. Do you think Richardson is beating Gaither out for RT out of skill or production.

The Chiefs have no intention of letting Stanzi start this season, so even if he is out playing Palko they wouldn't care. During practice the 3rd string gets almost no reps so there is no way for him to beat out or lose to Palko at this point. During preseason Stanzi out-played Palko.

FWIW, the "experts" liked Stanzi ahead of Dalton. They also liked Ponder more than Dalton.

At least one felt Stanzi was the most NFL ready of Dalton and Kaepernick.

A couple of Stanzi threads that will probably get a fair amount of input (from fans who watched him play for 3 years). Usually biased fans (I am a huge Stanzi fan....I have a hard time caring about the Vandy-Hawks), but there are usually skeptics sprinkled in there as well when he is mentioned.
