Chase Daniel: C

Chase Daniel is what he is at this point: A quarterback who can fill in with a spot-start to keep the train on the tracks, but won’t wow you with impressive arm strength or athleticism. He’s an average quarterback in this league and would be a dependable backup on a team, but won’t push for the starting job.

Daniel led the Bears to a victory against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4 (their only victory of the season against a team better than .500) when Trubisky left the game early in the first quarter due to a shoulder injury, but threw two costly picks the next week against the Oakland Raiders in a 24-21 loss. He appeared to operate Nagy’s offense more efficiently than Trubisky, but the unit could only go so far with his skillset.

Signed in 2018, Daniel was also brought in to help mentor Trubisky to work with him as he learns and masters the offense. Unfortunately, he seemed to fall short of that as evidenced by Trubisky’s grade. Evaluating his play on the field though, Daniel is the definition of an average backup quarterback who likely will be playing elsewhere in 2020 as he’ll enter free agency in March.
