Chase Daniel in 2016 (1 Viewer)

[badfish211]

Isn't it time he gets a chance to sign somewhere as a starter?

I would love for the Bears to get a hold of him and draft a young guy to groom.

 

[Insein]

Well have to see what happens with Bradford, but there's a very good chance he's brought in to the Eagles for a chance to be the 1-2 year starter while a rookie is groomed.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

I think he deserves a shot to compete in training camp for someone's starting job, but isn't he basically Colt McCoy with a bigger arm? Hell, maybe McCoy with a bigger arm would actually be decent, idk.

 

[Bri]

I think highly of him.

I think people watched him struggle when younger and discarded him. Every preseason he looks sharp and then during Alex's poor games I'm wondering why Reid won't put him in.

I don't think he's a year or two fill in. I think he's 'the guy' somewhere.

It's hard to judge QBs and longevity. Will he play til he's nearly 40? Then a team is setting themselves up well.

Pederson in Philly if Bradford is gone is obviously a destination.

Otherwise, articles seem to suggest every team that might draft a QB too.

I would like a team to grab him and rely on him but it doesn't look like that's happening so I guess he's gotta look for an oft-injured starter or old timer QB and back them up. Then when he gets a chance he shines and good things happen.

I like the Saints suggestion. He likes to spread it out and who knows about Brees at his age. I could see Payton appreciating him.

Dallas is a common suggestion and they're in a good spot to pick up a young defender in the draft, which they sorely need. (They sure don't seem to like their young QB project) After this year, I expect them to sign Daniel or Bradford if he's available. Oklahoma is full of Dallas Cowboys fans and Sooners fans. There's a 'hometown' type guy that will bring in the $ that's not named Manziel. If Bradford seeks too much, Daniel would be an option. They're pretty fluid right now with Romo and a nice spot in the draft, they could do just about anything and it would seem reasonable.

Chase is a Missouri kid so I want to suggest the Rams. I don't know how the whole Los Angeles move impacts their fanbase. He might be the perfect guy to keep their interest.

Fitz is old and Geno is bleh, NYJ would be a nice spot.

All this time, still can't believe Alex makes what he does and they don't just cut him, switch to Daniel and use the $ elsewhere. He seems so overpaid.

Best most notable thing, about Daniel is every gripe you have about KCs WR corp and passing game instantly goes away when he's in. All those 1-2 catch games by their young WRs, you almost forget how talented they are.

 

[lod01]

Needs a QB starved team's coach to grow some balls. Then he actually needs a real chance, which is a whole season. Those are reserved mostly for 1st round picks. Unfortunately he's 29 so forget any real chance. No coach will have the balls to put his job on the line for a 29 year old 'potential' starting NFL QB.

 

[Insein]

That's why Philly makes sense. He knows Pederson and the type of offense he wants. There won't be much pressure for him to succeed except his own pressure and if he plays well, he will be sought after. Got to start somewhere when you're that age. Get the shot and show you can do it. Then people will come to you.

 

[TheFanatic]

He was an injury away from being something. But the injury ahead of him never happened. Had Brees missed a few games when Chase was in NO, that guy would be a starter right now

 

[badfish211]

When KC was 1-5, I thought Daniel was going to step in and shine. Smith and the Chiefs turned it around right in time to save Smith's job. We will never know if the winning streak still would have happened.

The Philly idea does make a ton of sense, which upsets me because as I said, I would love the Bears to get him. He is actually young enough (29 with limited tread) to simply sign as a backup to Cutler and not have to draft a QB. If Cutler fails or continues mediocre play, you insert Daniel and move away from Cutler. Unfortunately, Daniel is most likely aiming for a starting job, so I won't get my hopes up for a Chicago landing.

I do like the NO job, but I think they would rather take a look at Greyson before bringing in a guy like Daniel.

The Rams make a lot of sense.

How about the Texans? He isn't cut from the NE QB style cloth, so maybe not.

I just want him to get his shot.

As much as I doubt chase gets a legit chance to start upfront (I think he's more likely to land in Philly as backup but start by the end of the season), Houston makes a lot of sense. He should be relatively cheap and might be a nice upgrade from Hoyer. Nobody is giving him a long term contract and he isn't likely to make much guaranteed. But a decent incentive laden contact could work well.

So you think Philly Franchises Bradford AND signs Daniel? I guess it's possible.

i think this really is not a likely case to occur. My thought would be Chase is going to probably want to go somewhere to start. Might even be worth it to him to take less money. I would think at his age he has to think this is the time for him to go for it if he ever will, and why not. Houston is a good landing spot too because they have a pretty good supporting cast, but without a doubt why would he not follow Pederson to Philly if the opportunity is there. Just makes a ton of sense. There are multiple teams that need a starting QB for next year, but maybe only 3-4 that he could come in and not have to do it all him self

 

[TheFanatic]

My guess is he doesn't start anywhere this year. I would love to see it, but I don't think it will happen...

Do they have to franchise him? Probably just resign.

depends on his options. If he can't find a better situation, backing up a guy who rarely makes it a full season isn't a bad fallback.

 

[Bri]

I don't know that this is a thing anymore.

Haven't they all either failed or been meh elsewhere?

After Mallett, I'm not sure they want to go get another.

He seems intelligent, he has no trouble throwing to a covered WR/placement. That'd be my big concern. We're gonna have an army of guys smothering Hopkins for the next 10 years, gotta get a QB that won't be afraid to throw it to him and can place it well.

I don't think that's a rook. They're so scared of making a mistake.

Also, they gotta figure out if this is a down the line team or one to win now. Foster won't be around long. He's trying to be a beast a little longer. If they draft a rook or sign some young QB that needs seasoning, well then they might as well trade him or cut him. He may only have a year. Some debate if he even will be a gem when he returns. The backs behind him were not good.

Their D has all the pieces, they just gotta fill in some depth. They might even improve with a nice O eating up the clock.

Wait a minute. A starting job? Are we talking about the same Chase Daniel that I know? The undrafted guy who has been in the league 6 seasons, has started two career games (both meaningless Week 17 games), has one career TD pass, and turns 30 in October?

Not happening. Backup to starter due to injury, sure. But no GM is going to sign and hand the keys to their offense to Chase Daniel to start the season. Not the Texans, not the Rams, not the Eagles, nobody. Too much fantasy thinking going on if anyone actually believes that.

If the Eagles are looking to draft a QB high this year, they'll want a stop gap starter (ala Doug Pederson for McNabb in 99). What better than the guy who's worked in Doug's offense for the last 3 years. Chase gets a chance to start for a bit and Doug can groom a young QB. If Chase plays well, he'll either stay on a bit longer or earn himself a starting roll else where.

 

[Slider]

There's a good bit of Philly talk radio suggesting he's the guy if we don't sign Bradford and draft a rookie.

 

[Insein]

March 7th will be the key for Philly. If they franchise Bradford, Daniel isn't coming here. If they don't, I see Pederson reaching out to Chase. He'd be the guaranteed starter for most of season one to prove himself.

You missed the first part of that post. If the Eagles don't franchise Bradford, it will most likely be Chase and a rookie. Chase would be the starter for at least the first part of the season. Beyond maybe the first 3-4 games is on him.

Rotoworld blurb today, FWIW:

Nick Foles - QB - Rams
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports new Eagles coach Doug Pederson is "interested" in bringing Nick Foles back to Philadelphia.
The quarterback wheels are spinning in Philly. Schefter reported Sunday the Eagles are no longer planning to franchise tag Sam Bradford, and now it looks like Pederson is gearing up for a reunion with Foles. Pederson was the Eagles' quarterbacks coach when the team drafted Foles in 2012. Foles is coming off a dreadful year in St. Louis, but the $7.75 million he'll make in 2016 is far less than what Bradford will command in free agency. It's unclear what the Rams would be looking for in a trade for Foles. The Rams benched Foles down the stretch last year, deciding Case Keenum was a better option.

Unless he's completely awful or the rookie is playing lights out in preseason and practice, I can't envision a scenario where Chase wouldn't start half the season but yes he'd be guaranteed at least that first quarter if not more.

I wonder if both teams don't wish they could undue these moves

Forgot 2016 - he’s getting the start tomorrow:

Chase Daniel slated to start at QB for Bears vs. Lions

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Great bump. Ex-Saint, Peyton Project, I’m looking forward to seeing how he does, though technically I’ll be eating and  .

 

[Bri]

He looked fine. I still think he may be better than some starters but obviously he has completely lost everything tied to youth. There's a lot to be said for "not afraid to...:" and doesn't make many mistakes.

He's barely played in the NFL and that's a shame considering how bad his agent is in getting him an opportunity and how bad some backup QBs are.

Sooo many preseasons where he performed well.

115 passes and only one INT, that's his career. That's like 3 maybe 4 games in nine years.

I haven't seen much of the Bears O, so I don't know if it was a stripped down O for the new guy.  He did fine despite Slay on the best WR and he threw short a lot. They do that with Cohen and Burton so...I don't know if that's just standard there.

 

[flapgreen]

Isn't it time he gets a chance to sign somewhere as a starter?

I would love for the Bears to get a hold of him and draft a young guy to groom.

What a prediction 

 

[Faust]

Chase Daniel completed 22-of-30 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown while carrying the ball five times for four yards Sunday in the Bears’ Week 4 victory over the Vikings.

He was sacked once for a loss of seven yards. Daniel played competent, mistake-free football in relief of injured starter Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder), doing just enough to get Chicago over the hump in a defensive tug-of-war Sunday at Soldier Field. The long-time backup dispensed a 10-yard touchdown to Tarik Cohen, capping a 14-play opening drive that took up half the first quarter. He was at his best throwing to Allen Robinson, who absorbed all seven of his targets for a team-high 77 yards in the winning effort. Daniel would be in line for his fifth career start if Trubisky can't go against the Raiders in Week 5.
