He's no Brees, of course, but I'm just sayin' --Alex Smith does that trick. Smith did it to us late in the 2010 49ers game, they had a whole drive near the end of the game where he kept tucking and running with it, and catching people off guard, getting first downs. Then he did it again to us in the 2011 playoff game.
It's not how I'd want us to make our living, of course, but it theoretically could help us survive for like half a game, even maybe for a few games, just off the unpredictability.

Drew will also run for the grass when he "has no choice"... I watch Chase tuck the ball last night and run while Cadet I believe it was was standing alone 5 yards past the first down marker practically screaming and waving his hands for Chase to throw the ball to him..
Daniels propensity to tuck and run for a first down when he gets rattled is not not what bothers me.... Its his inability to slide and come to a stop with out head on collision that does... If Drew goes down.. I do not think Chase will last... Leaving us with Rookie Canfield. |
