Re: The backup QB carousel about to turn

I could take Chase or leave him. He has done nothing to show me he is a capable starter in this league. This theory that he will automatically be good because he has sat behind Brees is garbage. Yea it worked for Rodgers, but Rodgers was a better QB coming into the NFL and was first round talent. Chase is going to be too old himself to take over when Brees finally hangs them up. If Brees goes down we are screwed anyway no matter who is backing him up, so we might as well just put any warm body back there and draft a QB in a year or two. Im sure as hell not wanting to give Chase a raise, or even market value in a contract when we can probably pick up another backup that is just as serviceable cheaper.

Why not have you or I "holding the clipboard" then.

Bad day Dude?

I'm sure your set of data is complete for this assessment. Having the opportunity to throw 9 passes in 3 years and taking about 30 non v-formation snaps is usually the maximum for evaluative purposes. Frankly, he should have been cut two years ago.

Ive seen him in camp several times. When Drew was out he was sailing passes over the heads of the 1st string who weren't even being defended. Consistantly. I saw Colston get visibly frustrated with him, and coming from a quiet guy like Colston that speaks volumes.

In all fairness when has he ever played? You can't judge the guy off of preseason or 1-4 victory formation snaps.

Chase Daniels reminds me of one of those guys that if we loose him to another team he will do great things. Just the way i see it

I agree. Impossible to tell how he'd do because the opportunity has not presented itself.

None of us see him at practice or in team meetings so none of us know.
