I would not mind using a 7th rounder on him either. Low risk for a potential reward. Being that he is 6'4" and 222 I would say he has a much better chance to being an NFL backup than the other midget Chase.

I think he would be an alright pickup in the 6th if we have another one.

I wish he'd been the starter last year. God Daniel sucked. I sure would like to know what happened to cause such a total collapse.

5th is too high, especially our 5th.
I think I'd drop a 6th on him, I know I'd use the 7th. The article's not BS, he throws a hell of a ball. He'd ride the pine for 2 or 3 years, but he's extremely bright and I think he'd pick up the game fairly quickly. You could do far worse for a 3rd stringer. |

At the time he looked like a cool customer that'd make a strong backup in the league, now I don't think he has a shot at a roster. I think it just came too easy for him for too long. He's never battled through adversity and as a consequence doesn't seem to know how to deal with it. |

Heard on the local radio out here that he had some pulled/partially torn ligaments in his right thumb. Nothing was ever said about it during the season, he tried to play through it. Don't know if the injury was legit or an excuse, but that's what I heard.

At this point I'd be pretty leery of taking any Big 12 players the entire conference is spread.

Yes the 2006 Missouri Tigers would have been better with Daniel because of his experience in the spread, but the 2007 and 2008 Tigers would have been much better with Patton, who has far more physical tools to work with. He's more physically talented than Harrell, Bradford, or McCoy. The only BXII quarterback with a better skill set was Freeman. That's not to say that Patton would have been a surefire Heisman candidate, but he had far more upside than Daniel. The fact of the matter is that Pinkel was coaching for his job in '06, so he went with the guy who could get him immediate results rather than the best long term interests of the program. And Patton was no moron. He had a respectable ACT score and got good grades in college and high school.

I hope he gets a shot. The "kid" has displayed more professionalism playing the back-up role than many "professional" football players. He has done everything asked of him and with a great attitude. IIRC, he was in graduate school this year while backing up CD.

That's great in theory but he'd be better thought of if he had quietly transferred out to another school and started for 2 years.
You can transfer without being an asshole. |

Where is he going to go, sit for a year, and actually be able to play? I mean, it's not like he would have been able to transfer and play at some power school. He probably would have had to taken the Flacco route, and hit some shitty school like Delaware. Then, people would be complaining that he only played for a year or two, against low-level competition. Really a lose-lose situation. He made the most of it, and I bet GM's do take note of it. |

He could have went to one of the schools mentioned there......UCLA hasn't had a QB in 5 years.
