Here's the thing.
I was pretty adamant this past off season with the opinion that holding onto Chase Daniel was a waste of a roster spot.
He was pretty much an Alex Smith mini me as a QB, so I didn't give a rat's ass about his experience, which was the argument for keeping him.
In the preseason, however, I saw a completely different QB that I had seen in his previous preseason exposure, and his two regular season games against against the Chargers in the regular season.
It is not out of the question that Chase Daniel grew and progressed into an actual NFL calibre QB, and I would actually find out what he is before letting him walk.
If his presreason turns out to be a mirage, then you draft a QB next year, and let Murray, Bray and the drafted rookie battle it out.
