Chiefs reached agreement in principle on deal with former Saints QB Chase Daniel

[keg in kc]

This franchise has had two playoff berths since 2004. Since then, they've had 4-12, 2-14, 4-12, 7-9 and 2-14 seasons. The fans finally revolted and the organization responded.

For better or worse, I don't think you can ask that same fan base to endure even more losing seasons in an effort to develop a QB from the weakest draft class in recent memory.

That just wasn't going to fly.What does developing a QB have to do with anything. Trading for Alex Cassel isn't an effort to play winning football. 20 years of history tells us that.

You're speculating.

Trent Green won plenty of games. Joe Montana led them to the AFC championship. Both were fine QB's.

I don't understand how Matt fucking Cassel could spook so many people into believing that no one can win unless they're a first round QB that's been drafted by the Chiefs.

That mantra is out of control.

[crazycoffey]

It's draft a QB to win a Super Bowl. That's all there is, anything else is just a lesson in mediocrity

[Hammock Parties]

There's no Geno bluff.

Sure there is, just a different kind of bluff.

After you, true fans.

If Chase Daniels played for Tennessee or some shit, you guys wouldnt even care lol. You'd say "camp fodder" and the thread would be over in 3 pages.

So, there is more discussion on a player many saw every game of for a few years? Who knew!!!!!

[kcxiv]

That was not franchise qb's. If Montana was Smith's age then maybe, but if he's smith age, h's not gonna get traded.

Im sorry but Montana and Green were still fucking failures. 1 play off win doesnt mean shit to me, Tim Tebow has 1 win as a starting qb.

Your in L.A you see how a top notch sports organization is. If the Lakers dont win it all its a fucking failure. Doesnt matter if they go to the finals and lose, its not good enough. Thats how it has to be, thats how it is for the Patriots, the Steelers and ev3ry other elite franchise.

[Spott]

I love your positive attitude. But all serious die hard MU fans(myself included) know he is only 5'10 1/2".;)

I met him his rookie year after a preseason game when he was with the Redskins. He's probably 5'10" at the most.

That mantra is out of control.

When Vermeil first signed it was for three years with the understanding it was a quick-turnaround and win-now approach. That's why they went heavy on FA's and experienced players. A lot of fans on CP don't want that 3 year window approach. They want to draft early and develop someone that can help the team contend for years.

Alex Smith and Chase Daniel reeks of the Cassel blueprint. Bring in an average vet and don't have any real competition to mess with him at the #2 spot.

Right now, on paper, next year's QB class doesn't look phenomenal either.

[Bootlegged]

Measured at 6'0 at the combine.

Guys,

I'm waiting until March 12. If this goes through I'm ****ing done caring about this draft and this team. It's supposed to be entertainment, not torture, and it's emotionally ****ing ruinous. I spent the last five ****ing years hoping the Chiefs would be terrible enough to get a high draft pick and take a QB and both times when they were in position they traded for someone else's backup.

I'm ****ing done with the bullshit. Done. I'm rearranging my office this weekend. I'm taking down autographed photos, framed photos, memorabilia, art, clothes, hats. Anything that has to do with the Chiefs is getting expunged from my life, because I'm not going to continue to devote time and emotional energy into a team whose owner detests his fans and continually charges them more and more for the same shit sandwich.

E-****ing-nuff.

What's the one thing they haven't won in the last 30 years?

What's the one way they haven't tried to address the QB position?

You just don't fucking get it. NOBODY is saying they CAN'T win without a first round QB.

If you look at NFL history, and especially Chiefs history, there's a CLEARLY ESTABLISHED line of probability.

Get your head out of your ass, homer.

The bottom line is it's OK to sit here and do whatever the fuck you want to do in the offseason. I really don't care. Have a ball with 2-gap slapdicks.

Just draft a goddamn QB in the first round. NO ONE can be SO SURE of a rookie class to completely write off ANY QB in the first round this year. Scouting isn't an exact science.

Do whatever the fuck you want to do. Trade for Alex Smith and get raped, I don't care. Just spend the 1.1 on a QB you morons. We don't need a LT.

I get it. You love Geno Smith. Many don't.

Alex Smith, in Reids opinion, will win the Chiefs many more games and give them a larger chance of making the playoffs and thus the SB.

Deal with it or don't - no one cares. But Damn, the whining is just over the top BORING.

Every post from you and Clay is the same thing.

Apocalypse Now. We didn't draft Geno. blah, blah, blah.

[Hammock Parties]

EVERYTHING with this franchise is boring.

Mike DeVito? BORING.

No deep threat WRs? BORING.

Not scoring? BORING.

Alex Smith? BORING.

If you're not bored by this fucking franchise you're lying to yourself.

[htismaqe]

I get it. You love Geno Smith. Many don't.

You're fucking clueless.

I also like Tyler Wilson, Matt Barkley, and several other QBs, including a couple in next year's draft.

It's funny how you morons equate wanting to draft a QB, because of an overwhelming desire to see the Chiefs win a Super Bowl, as some kind of mindless lemming behavior.

While you simultaneously applaud moves like trading for Alex Smyth, which will all but GUARANTEE the Chiefs won't win a Super Bowl.

But that's not the goal is it? Gotta bring back the Marty years, fill the parking lots, amirite?

Alex Smith, in Reids opinion, will win the Chiefs many more games and give them a larger chance of making the playoffs and thus the SB.

Then Andy Reid is an idiot.

Apocolypse Now. We didn't draft Geno. blah, blah, blah.

I've already dealt with it. I'm no longer a Chiefs fan.

I'm just hear to troll you idiots.

[Hammock Parties]

And the great thing is they hedged their shitty Alex Smith bet with Chase Daniel.

I could at least get slightly optimistic, be a little interested, if they had done something AMAZING like drafting a QB in the 2nd (we haven't done that in 20 years, BTW). But they're not even gonna do that.

Fuck 'em. Win NOW or GTFO.

Not bored at all. I believe in slow steady progress. I have run my professional life on that mantra for years. Sports franchises that do that are much more stable and successful (Cardinals in baseball and Steelers in football, for example). And have done very well, I might add.

DeVito is a fine signing, as is Fasano. I suspect we will have a deep threat before August. Alex Smith will be a good QB. And he will bring us much closer to the SB than G. Smith will ever take anyone.

The Steelers were a boring-ass three-yards and a cloud-of-dust franchise that didn't win SHIT for YEARS until they drafted a first-round QB.

It isn't a crime. The true crime is continuing to support a team that respects you SO much, they don't even have to ACT like they're trying to win it all. Just win 10 games, fill the seats, the KC fans eat that shit up with a fucking shovel.

You're right. They don't want to win. Thank you for showing me the light. They just want to steal your money. Big bad corporation...Down with the MAN, I say. I think I will go on a message board and post bad things about them and curse their fans. That'll show 'em.

[duncan_idaho]

The San Francisco 49ers put the best roster in football around Alex Smith, and he couldn't make it to the Super Bowl.

His grand sum of accomplishments includes a playoff win against an incredibly flawed team with an awful defense and a crap-tastic performance against the Giants in which his crap play was a significant factor in the loss.

Oh, and he also was coached by one of the best coaches in the NFL while doing this (who benched him the first time he got a chance)

Anyone who thinks they can win the Super Bowl with Alex Smith is crazy.

That wouldn't have even been so bad. I get trying to bring in a decent QB for a few years, who isn't the worst guy in the NFL (I'll give you that Alex Grbonossel is at least a 15-22 QB in the NFL).

But the exorbitant price the Chiefs paid for him makes it extremely difficult - and much less likely - the Chiefs will draft someone who actually CAN be a top tier QB, good enough to win playoff games against elite teams and get the Chiefs to the Super Bowl.

We're down to hoping:

1) That Alex Grbonossel magically turns into an elite QB after nearly a decade as a starting QB in the league (Call this the Gannon Gambit)
2) That Chase Daniel blossoms in his chance to start, wins the job, and becomes an elite QB (can't even come up with a case of this to reference... Brunell Bullet?)
3) That the Chiefs turn a draft pick that is, at best, a scratcher ticket (3rd round or later) into a franchise QB (Call this the Brady Bluff)

Roethlisberger was pissed all last season. Mike Wallace had his YPC cut in half and left. The Steelers went 8-8.

Well, considering just about everyone that follows the NFL (outside of this forum, of course) believes this is the weakest class in years, I'd say its far less ridiculous.

The mantra in this forum spread by a few people regarding QB's has not only been the most fucking annoying thing in my 13 years on the 'Planet, there is literally NOTHING to support that position.

[DaneMcCloud]

Well, thats it. Even if we trade back and get a 2nd-round pick, we will not draft a QB in the first two rounds.

It was obvious to anyone that listened to the initial press conference along with interviews with Dorsey, Clark and Reid, that they were not drafting a QB earlymI the draft.

But people didn't want to hear it, made excuses, etc.

It's actually been quite bizarre to witness.

[Prison Bitch]

So back to Chase Daniel. Why did we just give a backup 3M per season? I really want to try and understand this. It's truly mind-boggling that we would do something so.....insane.

Probably because Alex Smith is garbage and can be counted on to break something so Daniel is more of a tweener backup/starter.

[Hammock Parties]

Sure there is. You're just blind to it.

Barkley, Glennon and Geno compare pretty well to other first round QBs.

I have no idea what the hell you're talking about here. I assume "EV" is expected value? If it is, how on gods earth would anyone be able to determine any "EV" for Chase Daniel who's never evne played? There's no way to ascertain if he can provide anything or not at this level. 9/10 when that's the case, it's because the guy sucks.


And who cares about keeping a damn draft pick anyway? We obviously didn't care about the #34 overall. This newcomer is chewing up valuable payroll space that we could be directing towards actual needs on the team. Guys who will guarantee to play. This move is really stupid. Insane in fact.

Give me a break. Which one of these guys won the JUCO National Championship as a QB? Which one of these guys one a National Championship and put the team on his back to win it?

Barkley hasn't been able to play since November. His Senior Season was poor compared to his Junior Season and he was considered to have a weak arm before the injury.

Glennon? Bwahahahahahahahahahah.

And as for Smith, let's not even go there.

[DaneMcCloud]

So you found a team more stupid than us. Great. Now how do we compete with the 30 who are more intelligent?

You're a fucking idiot.

Backup QB is an extremely important position in today's NFL, considering all of the injuries to starters (especially concussions).

Shut the fuck up.

[Hammock Parties]

Glennon? Bwahahahahahahahahahah.


Glennon and Flacco are fairly comparable as prospects.

Don't even get me started on guys like Tannehill going in the top 10.

There's nothing wrong with this QB class. It's just an RGIII/Luck hangover.

[mcaj22]

considering we now have the most injury prone QB in the NFL, I'd say our backup is the MOST important lol

[Hammock Parties]

Backup QB is an extremely important position in today's NFL.

Then why did we sign a midget nobody with a weak arm?

I mean it's cool we have the weakest arms in the NFL on our roster and all...

[jd1020]

Then why did we sign a midget nobody with a weak arm?

Too risky to draft a QB.

Much safer to replace a top 5 LT in a year with a wasted pick the previous year.

[Thig Lyfe]

Isn't next years class supposed to be worse than this years is perceived?

Roethlisberger was pissed all last season. Mike Wallace had his YPC cut in half and left. The Steelers went 8-8.

Haley was a failure, just like he was a failure in KC. Art Rooney II is clueless.

You're a fucking idiot.

Backup QB is an extremely important position in today's NFL, considering all of the injuries to starters (especially concussions).

Shut the fuck up.

Starting QB position however is apparantly not important to the KC Chiefs.

[Hootie]

two things I like about Daniel...actually three

A) Sean Payton discovered Tony Romo at the combine when he was simply a combine thrower, not a participant. He had Parcells sign his as a UFA and he beat out Drew Henson to back up Drew Bledsoe and eventually became Dallas' franchise QB.

B) Preseason. I drafted Russell Wilson because of how he looked in preseason. Daniel looked sharp in preseason.

C) Preparation. Daniel sat behind Brees his entire career and knows how a 'physically limited' QB has to prepare to be a winner.

I'm not saying Daniel could be the next Brees but he has a lot working for him to turn some heads.

Bullshit.

Do you what's "weak"? That dumbasses here think that the Chiefs have years and years to waste trying to develop a first round QB, who by all accounts, shouldn't BE a first round QB, when the franchise has suffered through FIVE OUT OF SIX losing seasons, the most since the 80's.

The FIRST thing this team needs to do is build credibility with the agents and players, then with the fans. As much as you would bitch about an 8-8 team, the Chiefs WOULD be viewed far differently than another 2-14 team.

[DaneMcCloud]

Their franchise was and is beholden to QB play, like everyone else.

Dan Rooney had been the guiding force behind the Steelers for years and years. Since he's become the ambassador to Ireland, the Steelers have been on the decline, which started after the 2008 Super Bowl.

Art Rooney is clueless. He has a rudderless ship in Pittsburgh and they're not improving on the field or via personnel.

Alex Smith would have that Bears team at 4-12.

I just know Andy Reid realizes the importance of good QB play...and as much as I don't disagree with all of the disappointment and all of the 'here we go again' and all of the 'remember when it was In Scott We Trust?'...I'm willing to give Andy the benefit of the doubt on Geno Smith when every expert says the same thing as well.

[Hammock Parties]

[RyFo18]

I have no idea what the hell you're talking about here. I assume "EV" is expected value? If it is, how on gods earth would anyone be able to determine any "EV" for Chase Daniel who's never evne played? There's no way to ascertain if he can provide anything or not at this level. 9/10 when that's the case, it's because the guy sucks.


And who cares about keeping a damn draft pick anyway? We obviously didn't care about the #34 overall. This newcomer is chewing up valuable payroll space that we could be directing towards actual needs on the team. Guys who will guarantee to play. This move is really stupid. Insane in fact.

WTF is EV? _______ Value?

Yeah so EV is expected value. Gambler's who do +EV things are long-term winners...one example.

So this FantasyDouche character I've talked back and forth with a lot. I've had him on my podcast, he's written a book, and he's a highly analytical guy. Basically his premise is very much stats based and he's essentially shown that you can take all of the data that's readily available from past players and use it to find how similar players will perform in the NFL. It's not perfect, but it's basically shown that it's as good, if not better than just watching lots of tape.

Before I go any further though, his real contention is that teams should be using analytics along with scouting to analyze players and yield the best possible outcomes...i.e. be even more +EV.

Anyway, he elaborated more. I won't post the fancy tweets just since they take up a lot of room, but here's what he had to say:

The Chiefs got a guy who has a pretty similar resume to Geno, has NFL experience, they didn't give anything up

Here's an explanation that I'm not saying is necessarily true, but fits all the facts.

The Chiefs liked Chase Daniel and felt like there was a chance that he might be their guy. But they're not 100% confident.

So they pick up Alex Smith as a hedge and give up a 2nd. and some other stuff that's conditional. But, if Daniel outplays Smith...

Then the conditional picks go away, and the Chiefs still got a starting QB for only a 2nd round pick and salaries.

And then even Alex Smith's salary is probably something that they could get away from after this year.

Like I said, can't say that's what happened, but it does fit all of the facts.

Also, Chase is almost as big as Geno, and they have similar college resumes (Geno threw less INTs though to be fair).


He also did an article on his site about Chase Daniel's NFL comparables.

Just a quick note here on the news that Chase Daniel is going to be backing up Alex Smith in Kansas City. I remembered that Daniel’s name had popped up in a QB screen with some other guys who had all started multiple games in the NFL, so I thought I would publish that information on the off-chance that it’s interesting.
When I was running QB comps for Geno Smith, I saw Daniel’s name in a group that was pretty impressive for a college QB similarity set. Trying to project QBs to the NFL is a difficult task whether you’re a scout or a spreadsheet jockey. The NFL hasn’t been very good at figuring out how to draft QBs, and even algorithmic projection systems like Football Outsiders’ Lewin Career Forecast only even tries with QBs chosen on the first three rounds of the draft. But that doesn’t mean that it can’t be interesting to look anyway. Also, half of the reason that I continue to look at college QBs is because I hope that I can eventually figure out a system for projecting QBs. Based on the velocity information that I’ve seen at Ourlads, I do think that if we had velocity information for every prospect we would be a lot closer to having a serviceable QB model. If you follow that link you’ll see that Daniel was recorded at 57 MPH, which is the upper end of the range.

In any case, here is Chase Daniel’s name with some guys that he was pretty similar to in terms of college numbers. The common threads that run through this group are as follows: high completion percentage, high number of career college starts, great TD/INT ratio both in their final year and throughout their careers, high number of yards/game in their final season. One area that you’ll note that Daniel is different from these guys is that he’s quite a bit smaller. Also, he doesn’t like hot tubs nearly as much as one guy on the list.

I can't paste in the table, but you can see it here (http://rotoviz.com/index.php/2013/03/the-worlds-first-ever-chase-daniel-fantasy-football-article/). The names on the list are:

Ben Roethlisberger
Andrew Luck
Kyle Orton
Philip Rivers
Matt Leinart
Kevin Kolb
Geno Smith

So there's good and bad names. Basically what he's getting at is that the Chiefs got a similar player to Geno and just had to pay him some money. Most people will understandably call that outlandish, and remember, this is only based on what they've done statistically for the most part. Nevertheless, based on this analysis I think you can definitely call the move +EV and I understand why the Chiefs did it. We have no idea who will be the better pro, Geno or Chase, but they sacraficed much less to find out.

(This post is going to get laughed at so hard, but it makes sense to me so rip away!)

good question....we could have paid Orton that much to stay last year (Dallas paid him that I think) and he would make a better back up than Daniel....shoot, he probably could have been the starter

Orton is making $5M a year.

[Hammock Parties]

I'm just saying...in Bears country everyone hates Cutler. Everyone always hates the QB. Unless the QB is Aaron Rodgers.

And yet he is winning there.

And he'd win even more if they had tackles who weren't abortions.

I love Jay Cutler.

[Chiefnj2]

Well, considering just about everyone that follows the NFL (outside of this forum, of course) believes this is the weakest class in years, I'd say its far less ridiculous.

.

Why is it weaker than 2 years ago? Leave Newton out of it since you claim he was a no-brainer because he led his team to a N.C.

Locker, Ponder and Gabbert all went in the top 12. Locker had a career 54% completion percentage. Senior year TD to INT ratio of only 17 to 9. EJ Manuel bailed Ponder's ass out two years in a row when he took over for him and won bowl games. Gabbert had questions and was as erratic as anyone.

I have a hard time believing that EJ can't be viewed superior to Ponder, or Smith/Barkley/Glennon better than an inaccurate Locker, etc.

I just don't see it...

Cutler is worse than Aaron Rodgers when it comes to taking sacks. Both of those guys take unnecessary sacks all of the time.

They blame the line every year in Chicago..."fix" it with picks and free agents every year...and the results are the same every year.

After a while you have to actually watch and see why...and I live in Illinois, so the Bears are forced down my throat...

I think Cutler makes that very, very average line look very, very terrible.

Rodgers has one flaw and it is he takes too many sacks. He always tries to make the big play rather than always making the right play.

I said as much when I predicted the 49ers to beat them. I said the 49ers present a bad matchup because they can get to the QB and Rodgers will take the sack. I also said Kaepernick was vastly underrated but what do I know?

[Hootie]

why cant alex smith be rich gannon?

I'm sure he could but I know what Alex Smith is. He's an efficient game manager...I don't know if there is much upside and I know he takes too many sacks.

I am hoping Chase Daniel has more upside and could be a poor man's Drew Brees (from what I remember he doesn't have good arm strength and you can't develop that)

Hell yes they can.

Cutler's a stud. He always has been.

For instance, you cite his record in Denver. In the 20 losses he suffered in Denver, his defense gave up an average of 33 points/gm. His defenses in Denver were hideous. And yet, he was often still able to win in shootouts.

In Chicago...well you're just wrong there. Cutler doesn't help his line, but he doesn't hurt it either. In his last year in Denver, his first with a decent line, he actually led the league in sack%; getting sacked on fewer than 2% of his dropbacks (which is amazing for a downfield passer). His sack rate in Chicago has doubled. Perhaps he shoulders a little blame there, but I find it hard to believe that a guy that got sacked 11 times in over 600 dropbacks his final year in Denver suddenly forgot how to slide protection and unload the football immediately upon his arrival in Chicago. It's a combination of scheme and protection that dooms him out there.

In Denver, he had no defense at all. In Chicago, he's had no O-line at all. He's just never been in a situation where he should've been expected to just drag the team to a SB.

He has one of the top 3 arms in the league and while his accuracy comes and goes, he's able to make placement throws into the corner that maybe 5 guys can make with any regularity. He's mobile in the pocket and he has a swagger that I love in my quarterback. It's the same swagger that gets Brady sucked off as a 'leader'.

I'd trade 1.1 for Cutler in a heartbeat.

[Hammock Parties]

The fact you haven't heard a peep out of Chicago about even thinking about replacing Cutler the last two years speaks volumes.

I don't see it with Cutler. I watch a good amount of Bears games and just don't see it.

That's me though. I've been wrong.

You have to remember Cutler played for Shanahan in Denver. Of course he's not going to get sacked a lot. Shanahan QB's don't get sacked a lot. It's in the scheme.

Got sacked 4.0% of his dropbacks in Denver; 2% his final year.

Gets sacked in 8% of his dropbacks in Chicago; 4 times as frequently as the baseline he set over 600 attempts in his final 'pre-Chicago' season.

He's getting hung out to dry in Chicago.

I shit you not - put him on this team and it's an immediate Super Bowl contender.

[Hootie]

Cutler obviously can make every throw...and he has some good QB mobility...

but he's a dipshit. He also holds the ball too long. and he also makes throws you just can't make in pivotal situations

I see him as a fringe top 10 QB which is good...but I don't think it's good enough to ever win anything of importance and that's what CP wants in the worst way, right?

he may luck into something like Joe Flacco

Brian Griese did.

Plummer didn't, but Plummer was also a very mobile QB. McNabb did. John Elway got sacked more often than at any point in his career in the 1 season where Shanahan was his OC. When Shanny was his HC, Elway got sacked more often than Cutler.

I don't buy it. When he's had Plummer and Cutler, his sack% figures have been extremely low. When he's had his other QBs, they've been average to slightly below average.

Cutler's not the problem with the Bears O-line, no matter how hard Chicago fans try to blame him.

perhaps

I watched the games and thought a lot of the times he simply held the ball too long...but I was never that emotionally invested so maybe all of the Bears fans and my friends (I live in Illinois remember) influence my opinion on Cutler more than I think...

I just get the fact as KC fans we're all mad about not taking a QB at #1...

but it's like everyone thinks these Aaron Rodgers grow on trees when truth be told these same fans would bitch about Jay Cutler, or Ben Roethlisberger, or etc. etc. etc.

if every "expert" and then our very own QB hungry coach Andy Reid and a guy who went from Favre to Rodgers are all telling us Geno isn't a franchise QB

I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt

even though I totally agree with anyone who doesn't want to do that anymore after the whole "executive of the decade" noise...

I have no problem with critiquing moves...but I'm not going to be a miserable cunt just because I'm a Chiefs fan.

I had a lengthy post on this earlier in the thread, I'm not going to rehash. They're not putting all their eggs in one basket, they're maximizing their chances they find a solution at the QB situation with a minimal investment.

Matt Cassel came in and Pioli handed him a $60M contract. Alex Smith comes in and they bring in Chase Daniel to compete with him.

To be fair, I truly believe the reason people like to make excuses for the Bears shitty offensive line, is because...as I've stated before....JAY CUTLER HAS THE MOST PUNCHABLE DOUCHE FACE IN ALL OF RECORDED HISTORY.

You'll get no argument from me there.

Cutler's doucheface makes it impossible for people to objectively evaluate him. Rivers used to be the same way, but there's a chance that he actually does suck now.

Oh Rivers doucheface is bad too, but Cutler's is just a notch above all others. Part of it is that Cutler acts like an emo kid who just happened to grow big and tall and have a good arm. Luckily for him, he ended up playing NFL football. Coulda been all Linkin Park and razor blades to the inner thigh for him.

Pipe dream.

Trade for Alex Smith.
Sign Chase Daniel
Draft Geno Smith.

Either Alex or Chase is gone after this year. Chase's contract is basically a 1 year deal. He can be cut after this year if they deem Alex to be the better backup. Alex is cut or traded after this year if Chase learns the offense. Camp battle in 2014 between Geno and Alex/Chase.

Yes....I know.....I'm on drugs.

Come to think of it....oh dear. Nearly every successful QB has at least a mild case of douche face. I'm just that bitter at our QB situation for the past 4756 years that every QB that has some success I feel needs to be walloped with a scalding hot waffle iron about 170-somethin times.

A fair assessment. He's got the 3/4 release off his back foot down like a boss as well.

QB Chase Daniel received three-year, $10 million deal from Chiefs. $3.33 million per year. Per source.

[BossChief]

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5170/chase-daniel

3/12/2013: Signed a three-year, $10 million contract. The deal contains $4.8 million guaranteed, including a $3 million signing bonus. Daniel's contract can void after any season in which he passes for 2,000 yards and 12 touchdowns. 2013: $800,000, 2014: $2.4 million, 2015: $3.8 million, 2016: Free Agent

[The Franchise]

So he still gets $3.8 million for 2013 correct?

[kepp]

Should have signed Reesing.

From what I heard, they tried to dig through the mountain of Franzia boxes, but just couldn't find him.

This would have been a much better signing in my book. Hope I'm wrong. :(

Drew Stanton, who spent last season as a backup to Andrew Luck in Indianapolis, signed a three-year, $8.2-million contract Wednesday

You know, I keep seeing Stanton's name thrown around but the guy's been in the league since 2007 and hasn't done shit. Even with all of the times Stafford has been hurt, he hasn't played much (they normally went to Hill). Maybe he'll finally get his chance in Arizona but so far he seems like a "never was".

[Chiefnj2]

12 TDs. That's a lot. /s Alex smith.

Just bet a d.onkey fan that Brock throws more tds in the preseason than Nose picker Chase. Will I lose?

What I seem to remember is both Hill and Stanton got to play in that season and they both played well. Hill is not available so Stanton has been of my interest since that season.

Also you can argue what you argued about Chase Daniel, and Drew was cheaper.

#Chiefs HC Andy Reid on signing QB Chase Daniel:

"All you have his preseason film. You're looking at one of more of the productive quarterbacks in the preseason. He's a local kid. I had coached at the University of Missouri, so I kind of knew about him when he was coming out. (Saints HC) Sean Payton, who I'm friends with, thinks the world of him. And he got to play behind (QB) Drew Brees, so he understands what it takes to be champion at this level and to lead a football team." about a minute ago

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Chase will probably never start but if he did, at least I could root for HIM.

[Easy 6]

After looking him up, i kinda like his potential... 72% and 4300 yards his senior year aint too shabby.

If Sean Payton and Andy Reid like him, he must've done something right.

Did the Saints, "who think the world of Daniel," not have the money to pay for his backup services as they helped him pack his bags?

I think they wanted to let him try and find a starting job somewhere.

This.

Chase is a good QB I think you'll be happy.

Plus he learned from one of the best.

Chase just needs playing time.

Drew just signed a new contract but he's probably going to retire after this one runs out.

It's time for Chase.

That would make sense and all if he had a chance to win the starting job in KC. But in case you missed it, thats already been guaranteed to Alex Smith.

Smith has an injury history.
And Reid may actually want to try something else after he has him throw the ball 30 plus times a game for a while.
We'll see I guess.
I'm betting Chase gets on the field at some point though.

[BossChief]

You know, there's an angle to the Daniels signing that has probably gone fairly undiscussed.

The fact that part of his contract talks were about Alex Smith NOT starting for a significant portion of time over the next two years. It's a 3 year deal, so that voidable part only comes into play the first two years.

That coupled with TBGs info that the team isn't talking to Alex about an extension means that the team doesnt even see Alex Smith as a cemented starter past the first year.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

Cocker spaniel Daniel will be ready when Alex becomes brittle in the cold.
