I don't ****ing care about upside to be honest. Bray best case scenario to be honest is being a career backup like Chase Daniel. It's FAR more likely that he'll be out of the league in a few years than he becomes a backup for 6 years like Daniel has. If Alex is injured and has to miss a couple games, I'm far more comfortable with Daniel going in than with Bray. And that's what we need out of a backup. A player that can come in in an emergency and that knows the system and can still run the offense without needing to dumb down everything.
Arm talent is so overrated it's not funny. Bray's talent is that he can throw far. So what? His decision making and accuracy are not even close to NFL level. In the NFL, seeing as how less than 10% of your passes will travel more than 30 yards in the air, you don't actually need a cannon.
Using the #2 spot for Bray just because he has a big arm is a waste of a spot.

You make plenty of solid points, but I also think you're totally undervaluing raw talent, very young raw talent at that... Matt Cassel backed up Tom Brady for several years, how much good did it do him?
Bray is the definition of a project, everyone knows that... but if Murray comes into camp and wows with his ability to grasp the system/shows good instincts, as most seem to think he will, then I and others would rather keep the guy with the higher ceiling while cheering on Murray at #2.
Theres good logic for both arguments, that's why I took exception to the "no logic" thing. You like a more, overall, experienced Daniel and that's fine, but its no excuse to tell Bray fans they're a bunch of logic lacking fools, either.
