I don't know...Daniel got off to a rough start on Sunday, but he did settle in. I mean, he's a 32 year old undrafted journeyman QB. Keeping that in perspective, I don't think he played that bad. He had some good moments. He does seem calm and collected back there. I don't mind him compared to back up QBs of the past. I don't feel uncomfortable with him going out there.
I don't know why people want to compare him to Trubisky. They have two COMPLETELY different sets of expectations. Trubisky is a 2nd overall pick in a QB draft class that appears to have at least one HOF caliber guy already.
You can't have it both ways.
You can't claim he is better than Mitch, and then use his draft position to "validate" his extremely mediocre play.
You can say he is a decent backup for an undrafted QB, but that doesn't make him the best backup, or worthy of starting, or better than Mitch, or anything else.
If you are evaluating his game, he either played well or he didn't. He didn't. Four fumbles and two picks accounting for a 14 point swing in an OT game is not playing well. Enough of the "For a blind guy it wasn't a bad game', or "As one-legged QB's go, he's pretty good."
YOU make the argument that Chase is better than Mitch, and then say others are unfair to expect him to be. I don't EVER expect a backup QB to be better than the starter, because if they were, they'd be starting. I don't have unfair expectations for a backup. I was one of the few people here not expecting to win at NY because of the fact we were starting a backup QB. Backups are backups for a reason (or for a number of reasons).
The guy has started 4 games prior to yesterday, and many here act like he is our best QB, which is flat out silly.
But you are playing it both ways, and that's wrong.
