Not just bowl games. Someone posted that Stanley’s record against conference opponents with winning records is 1-10. That is horrible. I don’t know Stanzi’s record, but I’m pretty sure it is better than that.So was Rick a winner because we won three bowl games? If Iowa wins this year, that would make Stanley 3-0 with about the same number of wins as a starter as Rick six. Using that logic Long was 2-2 in games he started and Iowa only won more the 9 games once in his career. Tate was 2-1, and Banks was 0-1 in bowl games, and no he didn't play all that well in Iowa's two losses in 2002 either. Yes Stanleys had some issues, and he's not great, but he's had plenty of help in these losses.
I am not blaming losses on Stanley. My point is....he is not a great qb. He is average to slightly above, and not as good as Stanzi.
