Even with the multiple shoulder injuries, Pennginton was a solid QB. Hopefully Stanzi remains healthy, retains and improves his arm strength.

I like the upside, here. Most likely already a superior backup over Brodie, with a possible chance in a couple/few years to compete for the starting gig.

All this is great for Ricky Stanzi now, but we’re still assuming some data. If Stanzi bombs or underperforms the Wonderlic…no more Tom Brady comparisons, and down he will fall from possible elite to possible just mediocre/good. If Stanzi scores well on the Wonderlic don’t be shocked if Stanzi starts moving from a current potential 4-5th Round pick to a 2nd-3rd Round pick…and then don’t be shocked if he actually becomes a first round actual selection…you heard it hear first (again, unless he bombs the Wonderlic). If Stanzi doesn’t work his way into the 1st Round — I’ll bet a “smart” team snags Stanzi (like a NE, PIT, PHI, SD, etc) in the 2nd-3rd Round.

Stanzi put up 30 on the wonderlic.

Greg McElroy: 43, Blaine Gabbert: 42, Christian Ponder: 35, Ricky Stanzi: 30, Andy Dalton: 29, Ryan Mallett: 26, Cam Newton: 21, and Jake Locker: 20.

It’s really nice to have a player compared to Tom Brady.
For once a player not Wes Welker like. lol
