I can't help that Booger is older and more experienced...the best apple to apples example I can give is when they both took snaps against GB in preseason last year.
They had the same preparation going into the game...one was an undrafted rookie who has trouble grasping the offense. The other had 5 years experience, a $3.5M contract, and is really really smart.
Below is from AP:
"Chase Daniel: 4-of-8 for 27 yards and 1 INT. Not his best performance. He was sacked twice. The offensive line struggled, yes, but so did he. Chase played the entire first quarter and the first few minutes of the second. Alex Smith has his limitations and Chase seems to have the same, but Alex has a better grasp of running the offense it seems.
Tyler Bray: 14-of-25 for 169 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT. He entered the game at the 11:36 mark of the second quarter and played the rest of the game. His big arm was evident as he went deep a few times, including a 43-yard touchdown to Josh Bellamy. He also showed some touch with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Junior Hemingway as the first half ended. Tyler Bray was the better quarterback on this night."
Now Bray may not be as good as Daniel as illustrated above...but he is cheaper, and has a higher ceiling IMO. Do I think Bray could have done well against SD if he would have had an entire week to prep for the game, also....yes.
