BJ Daniels Report

[Joe]

Everything Ive read suggests Beej is probably making the squad as a utility guy an not as a QB.

Daniels' Utility is Evident in 49ers' Training Camp

Rookie quarterback is also getting plenty of opportunities at receiver, running back and on special teams in bid to make roster

Though he was a successful quarterback at South Florida, it’s probably his only chance to make the team.

 

On Thursday, when 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh was talking about the competition for the No. 2 quarterback spot behind starter Colin Kaepernick, Harbaugh only mentioned veterans Colt McCoy and Scott Tolzien.

 

But then Harbaugh brought up Daniels, the seventh-round draft choice who’s been getting work at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and special teams.

 

“He’s really progressing at quarterback,†Harbaugh told Taylor Price of 49ers.com. “He’s doing good work there and he’s putting in a lot of time at the receiver position and at the halfback position.

 

“It’s been impressive how he goes from receiver to quarterback. He puts on the gloves and then he’s back at running back. He’s doing a pretty darn good job. … Arrow up there.â€

I'm kind of surprised the view is he can only make it as the backup QB...

 

I think there a mistake. That first sentence should read "Though he was a successful quarterback at South Florida, it’s probably not his only chance to make the team." It doesn't make sense otherwise.

Correct Matt, after posting that though, I saw somewhere that LaMichael James may be the punt returner. Maybe that's why the comment.

 

yea he won't make the team as primary punt returner.  i think special teams is his best shot and they will keep him as 3rd QB only due to his versatility.

Most teams don't roll with 3 qbs anymore

"But this fact should blow your balloons back up: With three quarters to split between them, there will be plenty of time to evaluate reserve signal-callers competing to for the No. 2 job. Second-year man Scott Tolzien as well as offseason additions Colt McCoy and B.J. Daniels are in the hunt."
