Quote:I'm also for kicking the tires on Stanzi, unless for some unknown reason Gabbert comes out and lights it up this week I'm all for Stanzi time.

 

The coaches have kicked the tires on Stanzi already by watching film of his previous play in college and the pros, and watching him practice. 

 

I don't mean to be glib or anything, but fans don't get to kick the tires on the players.  The coaches look at these guys and play the best ones they have.   Fans like to think there's a solution somewhere on the bench but the fact is, this team is pretty much set.  It was constructed in preseason  and  everyone has to live with it.  

 

Every time a starter stinks it up out there, the fans say, take him out and play the backup.  Well, in all probability, the backup stinks even worse.   What do we have to lose by trying other players?   We can play worse than the week before, and that's not what the coaches are looking for. 

 

So all this, "I'd like to see so and so play..." is just an empty exercise.   There's a better term for it, but I'd probably get a warning.
