Introducing Ricky Stanzi, QB, Iowa


MHS831

Recommended Posts

6' 4" 230 lbs. 25 TDs vs 6 Ints. Pro-style offense. Flying under the radar. Projected 5th round, but I bet that goes up to 3-4 by draft time.

We could draft Stanzi to develop and sign a veteran. Watch the video, but ignore the gayish qualities. Not his doing. I recommend watching a few of his interviews on You tube. He seems to have the "IT" factor. Supposedly has a high football IQ, average skills but got better every year. Leadership improved and was good as a SR.

Stanzi, a three year starter for the Hawkeyes, finished his career second all-time among Iowa signal callers with a 26-9 record. Entering the Hawkeyes bowl game earlier this week he ranked second in the Big Ten and 11th in the country in passing efficiency (160.5). He finished 2010 with 3,004 passing yards and 25 touchdowns while only throwing six interceptions.

Lacks vision, not a strong arm, bad under pressure, gets hurt a lot... I've watched alot of iowa games and he's good, but I would prefer an Andy Dalton over him.

I haven't, just going on stats and what I read and the few clips I could find. However, he is fundamentally sound from what I saw. 5th round is justified then.

There was a lot of good Stanzi/bad Stanzi back in 09 - in the first 3 quarters of Iowa games he was finding new ways to try and lose, but come the 4th quarter, the clutch switch would come on. I just wonder if he's going to go through something similar in the NFL.

Our biggest problem is the inability to spot potential at QB. If you can't spot talent, develop it, or coach it, you wil never have it.

I like stanzi alot, he is super clutch, but he has that jake delhomme thing going on where he can be god aweful or perfect depending on the day, and early in games he sucks for some reason, he also has injury problems. but he runs a pro style offense and has pretty good football iq from what i understand, could be a great 3rd round pick

NEW NAME"

Colin Kaepernick, QB, Nevada. a project, but has a good to decent arm, not real accurate, but runs 4.6 and is 6'6" tall. Led comeback to beat Boise St.

If we can't find a good QB, the best thing to do is build the cast around what we have or will sign.

    • After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA 
    • But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.  
    • It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
