02Scheme fit
Ideal system

West Coast timing and rhythm passing game, where anticipation and quick decisions are paramount for offensive success.

Pocket PasserGame ManagerPro-Style QB
Best role

High-end backup with potential to develop into a spot starter with further coaching; ceiling as a bridge starter.

Wrong fit

Spread offense with heavy RPO and scramble components; his athleticism and improvisational skills would be wasted or exposed.

Stanzi projects as a traditional pocket passer best suited for schemes emphasizing timing, accuracy on quick throws, and efficient game management rather than dynamic playmaking.
