Comments on: Chiefs rolling the dice with inexperienced backup QBs http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/10/chiefs-rolling-the-dice-with-inexperienced-backup-qbs/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Tue, 21 May 2013 20:26:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: punkymagee http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/10/chiefs-rolling-the-dice-with-inexperienced-backup-qbs/#comment-1189665 Thu, 11 Aug 2011 13:55:13 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=146453#comment-1189665 Ricky Stanzi may be a relative unknown, but as a Hawkeyes fan, I can tell you this guy has improved every year of his college career. Each year he threw more TDs and fewer interceptions, leading to a 25/6 senior year. I was as shocked as anybody when the Chiefs drafted him, but I believe that Pioli sees a guy who is still improving and can be developed into a solid back-up. And please tell me this article is not actually suggesting that we might want to pick up Croyle again? There’s a reason that tool was set adrift…he’s horrible! I’d rather roll the dice with Palko and Stanzi.

I’m shocked to see him in the league.

It’s just tough to justify spending that type of $$ on a backup QB when you have a starter making good $$. Yes I know the Chiefs are under the cap, but still.

You think the Pats are in better shape w/ Hoyer???? They had him as the sole backup when TB was coming off ACL surgery and Hoyer was a rookie. It was scary, and I like Hoyer. But then again it was a little scary having just Cassel pretty much as TB’s backup going into 08 when Cassel was coming off a horrendous preseason that had a lot of us wondering if he would even stay on the team. We saw how that worked out. :)

Shanahan says Stanzi puts Montana to shame.

Hawks might give up a third round pick for him.

However Breaston is leaps and bounds a better wide out option. He is a solid number 2 to take pressure off of Bowe.

I think the Chiefs are comfortable with their guys, or would’ve made a move by now. I wouldn’t be surprised if they watch for a player to be cut, but if one doesn’t come available, I think they’ll stand pat.

All 3 of their QBs are solid Back Ups.
