Ya'll may scoff at this, but I actually think that the play where Chase takes off running like crazy for the green patch up the middle, then falls down, could actually move the chains in a tough game against a real team (even playoffs) and get some first downs and some yards when we need it, if God forbid we ever needed him to. 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.

That's when we put Lance Moore or Darren Sproles at QB!!!

At least they'd be getting the ball in their hands!

I'd like to see that; would be funny to watch DE's running around trying to sack him... And if he could actually throw decent, talk about no mercy!
