He’s a smart QB who makes good decisions and goes through his progressions well. However, like Greise, I don’t think he has the arm strength or size t0 be anything but a backup/ocassional starter in the NFL. If the Chiefs or any other team wound up with him as a starter they would be in the market for a replacement in the next draft.

He could have decent career as a #2 though. I can see sending him in when your top guy is hurt and expecting him to not loose the game or to start and beat an inferior team.

He was a tough player and won a lot of games, but he reminded me a lot more of Drew Tate than Drew Brees. I thought the backup quarterback there, Vandenberg, was better than Stanzi from his first start against Ohio State.

He works hard and made much better decisions during his senior year. He did have problems throwing to his left though. Hopefuly, the Chiefs have worked that flaw out of his game.

I got a chance to see him at IOWA play and he reminds me of BREES.
He would be a big up grade for CASSELL. Cassell is horrible

I think it will be an injury that gets him the QB job.

Hopefully pioli will attach himself to stanzi the way he has backed cassel and it will set the franchise back another 5 years.

If Stanzi does become a good player he will just play out his contract and leave in free agency for a big market team. So nothin really matters in the long run

This isn’t the NBA. Chances are he’d want to stay in the system that made him a good quarterback or a quarterback needy team. Like Flynn going to Seattle. Markets mean almost nothing in the NFL.

Yeah, okay, because market share matters more to a QB than winning.

Anyway, it’s never been a secret that the Chiefs are slightly enamored with Stanzi. Everybody knew they were going to draft him. He’s a heck of a QB who was very good under pressure in big games in college. He also apparently has an incredible work ethic.

We’ll see in the preseason if he’s any good.
