BJ Daniels Report

[Brad]

I know it's still early, but I wish there was still the old espn blog setup, there's a Pitt guy who bashed by for four years and was so adamant that he'd be in the cfl or arena. Would love to prod him now. Good job bj

 

I remember one of BJ's teammates bashing him.  I'm glad BJ's endured it all and has attained more.  Happy for him.  Hope his success endures.

Think playing time against the Vikes could be a better litmus test, since we're into the C-team defense by the 4th Q.

 

Not taking anything away from BJ, though; that was awesome game management, great focus, and cold execution. BJ has always had moments of brilliance, it's consistency under pressure that's been his enemy, but all the adversity at USF has surely helped him mature.

 

I really hope they give him that extra time, I'm very excited to see him get the shot, that's all he/we can ask for!

Colt McCoy is set to make the most money of any QB there... More incentive to let him walk.

Very true. I wish BJ the best of luck with the Niners. We need as many successful Bulls on NFL teams as possible. By the way, Raptorcj, your avitar is one of my favorite Far Side cartoons--that one always made me chuckle.

Thanks, yeah, I had to buy the mug and I never do stuff like that!

Especially on the offensive side of the ball.

Agreed. Is BJ our only offensive player with a possibility of latching on somewhere? I haven't heard anything, either positive or negative, about Carlton Mitchell with the Bucs.

Somewhere in America, Chuck Jacobs fans are celebrating too.

McCoy and Tolzien have been ineffective enough to allow a long shot – seventh-round pick B.J. Daniels – to enter the battle for the backup shot. The 5-foot-11 rookie from South Florida didn’t take any snaps in the preseason opener, but made the most of his opportunity Friday after taking increased practice snaps this week.

Daniels, who entered late in the third quarter, completed 6 of 9 passes for 72 yards and had a 128.0 rating. He directed a 13-play, 85-yard drive he capped with a delicately placed 14-yard, game-winning toss to undrafted rookie Chuck Jacobs with 2:02 left.

His performance comes with the usual preseason disclaimer: He was playing against a defense comprised largely of players likely to be out of the league in a month. Still, Harbaugh said Daniels played well, ran the team smoothly and was in the mix for the backup job, which he’d said earlier in training camp.

“I’ve been practicing hard,†Daniels said. “I give credit to the defense I see every day. You see those guys every day and the players that we have. I just had a lot of confidence to go in the game. I felt like I could manage the offense.â€
