It seems like Chase Daniel has faced less competition for the number two quarterback slot in 2011 than 2010. Do you see a comfort factor in him?

I think that what makes him a good player and will continue to make him one is the chip that’s on his shoulder and will continue. He’s not thinking about the guy taking his spot. He’s thinking about taking my job. That’s what he should be thinking about, because I think any guy who’s a good backup quarterback in this league, you have to visualize yourself as a starter and prepare yourself like that every day. He does that.

By having some starters absent from practice today, does that alter what you do?

No it didn’t. Keep in mind, we’re only two days removed from the Oakland game, Sunday night game, travel across country, getting back at 5:30 in the morning yesterday. Obviously we’re playing again on Thursday night against Tennessee. It’s a quick turnaround. Obviously what’s foremost in our mind is preparing for Green Bay, to prepare both physically and mentally for that game.

Was today’s preparation more Green Bay than Tennessee?

No, today was still a camp mentality, competing against ourselves.

It all makes sense. I like to hear that Daniels has the "starter" mentality & is not satisfied being a backup.

Hopefully we can keep him around for a long time(Chase).

Hopefully Brees never gets hurt, so we never find out if Daniel can play in the Black and Gold, and he goes on to a sucessfull carrer in Kanas City.

And that is why Brees are so good, never satisfied, always improving something.

chase has that tude if u know what i mean. when he drops back and does that statue pose, thats confidence. not bad that he has that protection. i say he's got it whatever that is. he will start 1 day somewhere.

The more reps he gets brings up his value. I'd like to see a lot of him Thursday and then it's back to the clip board. The only other time I want to see him is in clean up duty when we have a nice lead.
