Congrats to the Manzi!!

[Firehawk11]

I know it has been speculated for sometime he would back up Cassel. Official depth chart from KC Chiefs has him number two. Congrats Ricky

USA! USA!

 

[VintageHawkeye]

Nobody signals in plays like Richard S.
NOBODY.

 

[JHHawk]

Well done,Ricky! Just the start of a string of Iowa NFL qbs? Ricky,Vandy,AJ,Jake??

 

[goiahawks]

Love it or leave it!

 

[big10fan]

can't be possible, multipledundie guy said he would be cut from the team, and he's never wrong!

seriously now, good for him. he better study up though, he's one injury away from being thrown to the wolves. i for one wish he'd get a couple good backup years before being thrown out there, it has really ruined some guys by getting pushed out there too soon.

Dam* right...Kansas City, love it or...er...have a job that pays you millions of dollars and only requires you to spend 4 or 5 months a year there.

610 sports reported during their Royals post game show that Cassel has a cracked rib and may not be available for the opener. It may provide an opportunity to Ricky to start.

Wow, he is a blink away from starting a NFL game in his rookie season.

well then, here it is, kurt warner 2.0

 

[Sarchasm]

Wow, he is a blink away from starting a NFL game in his rookie season.

Or a cracked rib.

 

[I0WA]

Just saw on ESPN that Tyler Palko is most likely to start on Sunday

 

[CAARHawk]

I hope Ricky doesn't start. Starting too soon has ruined lots of good QB's.

 

[hawkinn3]

Good, I don't want Ricky to go out there and get killed. He is not ready to be an NFL QB yet.

Neither is Pelko... That being said I'd rather see Pelko struggle then Love it or Leave it

 

[hawkinn3]

Exactly my point.

 

[hawkijustin]

Ugh, Palko was the worst looking qb KC had this pre season. Not far behind was Cassel.

 

[HawkAttack]

Sounds like Ricky is number 2 because Cassel is out, must be #3 otherwise. Not surprising considering he's a rookie and there was a shortened training camp.

Is there really a dependable depth chart out? I know that every depth chart I've seen this year has had Stanzi #2 behind Cassell but I haven't seen one updated within the last few days.

Like others here have said, rumors are saying that the coach told Palko that he'd better be ready to start. Also stated on NFL network that Palko may have to start.

That would obviously mean that Stanzi is #3.

ESPN has Cassel listed as questionable, but still have Stanzi number 2..
