Can Chase Daniel win 10 games?
 

Very curious what everyone thinks... obviously a team game, but do you think with Daniel at the helm, we can win 10 games?

If the team hasn't been decimated with injuries and NFL imposed sanctions, yeah, I think he could.

A first year starter is going to have his share of problems, but I think if we get a couple lucky breaks he could make it. He could definitely go .500 though.

He's better than a long list of former Saints starting QB's and they could usually get 6-7 so yeah, I think he could pull it off.

He would need a heavy dose of a running game for his first year, at the minute he's not the kind of guy that can sling it around 36 times i dont think.

But yeah.... if he was named the starting QB, i'd be supporting him and i think he could win 10 games for us

I believe he can. Depending on what happens with free agency and Goodells punishment.

Hopefully the defense under Spags will be better at limiting points...

The running game can be used as a crutch to help him through tough times...

no

Where it gets interesting is that Chase is a Restricted Free Agent...if another team makes him an offer, the Saints can have the right to match it and keep him...Or if the Saints elect not to match the offer, the rule is that they may receive draft-choice compensation, depending on the level of the qualifying offer made to Chase by the other team. Not sure if Goodell would let us keep those draft picks, given the penalties and punishments we're in for, but if he does (if the punishment is just to TAKE AWAY some of the Saints pre-existing "normal" draft picks, not affecting any other picks they may acquire legally through trades or transactions such as this)....well you might see the Saints give up a few RFA's like Chase, just to get some picks in the 2013 draft, somewhere. Even by leaving us, Chase may help us out.

Sure why not. With help of course

With the 20 million we save by not signing Brees, we could add some nice talent.

And I'm not convinced Chase Daniel is our starter if Brees doesn't sign.

But if we did go with Chase, yes he could win 10 games with a few bounces going our way.

If Brees, for whatever reason, is not here next year, I don't think Chase will be the starter. Too many other guys with experience available

This stupid poll reeks of Saintsreport

Maybe he could. One thing I like is he is not scared to run if he has to.

We couldn't win 10 games a few years ago with Drew at QB. Hell no we wouldn't win 10 with Chase.

Come to think of it, if we lose Nicks, Colston, Vilma and Meachem, we may struggle to win 10 games with Brees.

Not with our Defense.

Depending off course on various other factors - yes, I think he could, but the gameplan would need to be more balanced or even have an emphasis on the running game.

It would all depend on what we do if we don't sign Brees.

Yes we could win 10, but we'd need some serious upgrades and some lucky bounces.

If we had the exact same team as last year but with Chase... 8-8, maybe 9-7.

Keyword:WE:smile:

See Payton Manning. Enough said.

Yes.

I don't, for a second, believe that Indy's problems were even 50% because Peyton was injured.

They were a BAD, aged team across the board.

I believe that the Colts would have been 8-8 at best with Peyton last year.

I believe that it will manifest in a 5-11 record this year. It will be glossed over by the talking heads, but they are in serious rebuilding mode.

Give me a break you don't believe that do you?

The team is built around Manning. Offese high powered score lots of points and you build your D with a pass rush to protect the lead. Simple math.

With out Manning... you D can't play the way they are designed to play. Let alone your offense.

They are an old team that has robbed peter (52 players) to pay Paul (Peyton Manning).

Would you accept the Saints centering their entire potential success around one player?

The Colts have 1 ONE UNO EIN ICHI Super Bowl win for that model for success in 13 seasons!

The Saints achieved a Super Bowl with their model within 4 seasons.

Apples and Oranges and all of that poop, but, I don't want to go down that particular road.

Manning isn't the highest paid player in the league.

We do center our team around one player. We failed at it for the most part but Bree's scoring a lot of points and an opportunistic D. We were pretty much built like the Colts.

Shouldn't the question be, "Can Spags win ten games?" 20 mil would buy a lot of defense....

Feel free to elaborate.

Cause it seems every offseason, even during the season there is some stupid poll or a complete hypothetical question that makes no sense that litters that board, that's one of the reason's why I like it here so much, less BS and more substance

With all due respect, and I don't read the other message board, this is the first time in the past few seasons that this has a chance of actually happening... even though it is minuscule. This isn't coming out of the blue and is legitimate. Don't confuse the boards and lump my question into whatever stupidity that irks you at another board. I can't help it if moronic questions are constantly asked somewhere else.

If I made a poll that stated if Vilma were to be cut and Dunbar takes over, do you think he could handle the full load of games in the middle? Is that stupid too?

Over the Course of Two years... sure he could

Daniel is probably the fourth best QB in franchise history, which isn't very good, but there is a lot of talent around him. PLAYOFF BOUND!

We must remember that the backup QB doesn't get many snaps every week to get him ready to start. If Daniel was the starter, then he'd get those snaps and I think that would make him better. We should also remember that Daniel was a sensational college QB and had a very high completion percentage so I think that would also translate. Add to that, the additional coaching from SP and I think Daniel may just surprise a lot of people.

I think Daniel would be decent, but the Saints would really need to go to a run first type of style. The thing that would scare me with Daniel is the interceptions, which usually happens with first year starters. I would say if Daniel was the starter in 2012, no to 10 wins, by 2013 he should be very good and can easily win 10.

With last year's defense - No.

Does anybody remember everything brees has said about Daniel? Look at this link Drew Brees says Chase Daniel pushes him at New Orleans Saints practice - Video | NOLA.com He said Chase pushes him to play harder in practice. In this article: Chase Daniel's Drew Brees-like showing proves most impressive for New Orleans Saints - New Orleans Saints Football NFL News - NOLA.com Daniel draws comparisons to Brees in his impressive preseason performance against Houston. Brees left the game after one quarter of work and tossed the keys to the Saints' high-powered offense to Daniel, the diminutive waterbug who torpedoed the Texans for the final three quarters. Daniel looked exactly the way Sean Payton wants his quarterbacks to look: calm, confident and in total control. He moved teammates around at the line of scrimmage like a conductor and audibled to checks before the snap. He flawlessly executed a four-minute drill before halftime, marching the Saints 83 yards in 11 plays for a touchdown on the final play of the half.

I think part of the problem here is that people believe so much that Brees is the only guy that can win here, but personally I don't think that. If all the cast members stay in place, then I think any QB with a reasonable NFL level skillset can succeed here.

The thing is this. How many people knew that Brees was going to do as good as he did here before he came? Be honest.

How many people knew that Brady was going to turn out to be legendary status as he was lining-up to take the 1st snap after Bledsoe went down?

How many people knew that it would be a QB by the name of Aaron Brooks that would deliver us our 1st playoff win?

I am very content to just sit back and let things play out. No matter what happens, we will still have a team and someone will be behind center...and although I am not saying that I want to see Brees go...if he does in fact turn out to be the greedy jerk that he looks like now, then I don't have a problem with sitting back and seeing what the next guy can do, because, after all, for me it is just entertainment. If the Saints lose every game next year then I will still wake up every morning and go about my life in a normal fashion. Again...just entertainment.

For me it's kinda going back to that old school thing -- with a flask of good whiskey smuggled into the 600 level on Sundays, ANY Saints QB can possibly win ten games, until he loses seven.

No, plus he is not even signed.

If you honestly believe Daniels would be anything better than mediocre you are completely delusional. .500 at best

starting with Flynn and ending with Quinn, there are about 12-15 better quarterbacks available.

We've had very little opportunity to see him in action. All he does is hand off the ball. I don't think Payton wants his surprise to get out.
