I agree. Couldn't hurt to sign the kid and give him a looksy. He was pretty much a stud at Mizzou. I am going to go out on a limb here and say I would think Daniels would have more of a shot at making it in the NFL than Sanchez. Daniels was a big part in making Mizzou competitive, any shmuck with a good arm could take snaps at USC and look damn good. USC is always stacked to the gills with talent as they have a virtual lock on the best of the best in HS blue chips in CA and in the West in general. Mizzou would have totally sucked without Daniels.

Daniels;

Analysis
Positives: Gutty, competitive field general. A virtual coach on the field. Reads defenses well and checks down effectively. Good accuracy to all levels. Shows enough zip in the short to intermediate throws when given a deep pocket. Good touch to place the ball between the linebackers and safeties down the seams. More elusive than often given credit for. Can buy time in and out of the pocket and shows good accuracy on the move.


Negatives: May be too short for the NFL. Scouts believe his success in this system is greatly tied to throwing out of the shotgun -- and thereby the open passing lanes and middle underneath passes of the scheme. Seemed to provide further evidence of this theory with his struggles at the East-West Shrine game. Questionable arm strength. Has the zip to complete the short and intermediate passes, but has to wind-up for longer throws and due to his lack of height and release point, longer passes tend to sail.

Camp Fodder. Perhaps I'm wrong and they can Collins to get younger, but I doubt it.

Edit: Although my mags compare him to Jeff Garcia.

Was that Daniels or Brennan's analysis?

He was being sarcastic. The same exact things can be (and were) said about Brennan who somehow is the next coming (in some fans eyes) of Tom Brady.

Signing Chase Daniels as an undrafted rookie is a good selection. First of all by signing an undrafted quarterback, it doesn't inflame the poor relationship between the Redskins and Jason Campbell. Secondly, Daniels was a standout at Mizzou. I live in Missouri and watch Mizzou every week, Daniels is one of the most accurate and smart quarterbacks to come along. What he lacks in size, he more than makes up with tuffness and execution. He is short, just like Jeff Garcia, but he is built sturdy like a running back and can run if necessary. I would like to see Colt Brennan win the backup quarterback job and allow Collins to be released.

I certainly agree, but my one hesitation is that leaves us with NO verteran leadership in a position that requires it.

Good point.

Would like to see us keep Daniels but dont see that happening with Collins and Colt already here. He could stay on the practice squad but will there be enough room for him? I guess we still have a few months to worry about this though.
