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.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
