I am not sure 3rd string QBs even get a chance to show one way or the other in practice. They get nearly zero snaps at all. I don't think he would have been able to either impress or turn off the coaches in practice. That would have happened in OTA's, which didn't exist obviously.
I didn't watch him at Iowa. My "like" of him comes in large part from my dislike of the other options. I'm all in for drafting a QB. That being said I did really like what I saw in preseason. Just the mechanics ect. I do know for sure Palko is terrible and Matt is not a starter. For those reasons alone I would be for him getting a shot. Don't ignore QB in the draft because of Stanzi, but don't stick Cassel in there just to try and win 9 games with no chance of a playoff run. I want to see a SB. Maybe it doesn't happen with Stanzi, but taking a chance is better than going with something that has proven itself impossible. Then next year you know for sure what you have in your backups and what you need to go get.
Keeping Cassel in all year lends us no knowledge of what we could possibly have, whether that be nothing or a glimmer of hope.
