Time to give Stanzi the rock and see what he can do in KC

[SteveGarvey]

No one is debating that you learn more on the field than on the sideline. However the counter to that is you don't run the risk of ruining someone by sitting on the sideline either.

The Cheif's made their intention to brink Ricky along slowly and from the sideline earlier this year when they named Palko the 2nd string QB. We don't think for a second that they did so because they thought he was better or more competent. They did so because they made up their minds to bring Stanzi along slowly. It would be stupid for them to change their minds now, and throw a rookie QB to the fire for a bad team and a shakey OL.

The fact is Ricky was a great college quarterback not because he had tremendous physical tools, but because he worked and studied hard. Those same attributes should serve him well in the NFL as well, but realize those guys take a few years to develop. Ricky needed a bit of time to develop at Iowa also.

Very well said but don't think for a second that, if the Chiefs are sitting at 0-9 or so that they won't start giving him first team reps to prepare him.

Two months from now is entirely different, our opinion could certainly change ny then.
