Introducing Ricky Stanzi, QB, Iowa

[MHS831]

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.

yeah... no... just no.

[MHS831]

Do you have reasons? Y for yes, N for no.

[Jaxel]

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.

We have a better chance with Tyrod Taylor

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.

[MWCarolina]

No, first off, he wasnt that great and 2nd he could be picked in round 2 or 3 by some team looking for a backup.

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.

[MHS831]

we are screwed at QB. JR wont make a trade to get an established vet like Orton. We will end up with Hasselbeck or Alex Smith, which could be OK with the right coaches and system.

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.

[calebdv]

......... good to decent arm? not real accurate? WTF ryan mallet is 6'6 and cam newton is faster than this ass clown. if thats what we wanted in a qb we could just take them, stupidest post ive seen all day

[mav1234]

hell no to Kaepernick
