He has also been in the league for 6 years and was the backup for Drew Brees. I'll take that small amount of experience any day as a backup.

Its not cut and dried enough to take a swipe like that, Bray costs much less and has far more upside... is he as quick on the uptake as Daniel, probably not, but there was never any rush with the guy in the first place.

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.

If Murray jumps all over the 2 spot in camp, great... but theres just no reason to give up on that kind of arm talent after one year, Daniel isn't worth his paycheck.

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.
