The Facts: New HC Doug Pederson is familiar with Chiefs backup and free-agent to be Daniel. And according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Pederson views Daniel as more than a QB2.

Diehards Line: According to NFL.com's Kevin Patra, it's logical that Pederson would have faith in Daniel to run his offense after the duo spent the past three seasons together in K.C, where Daniel backed up Alex Smith. Daniel's familiarity with the offense would allow the 29 year old to work as a stopgap for Philly on the road to finding a long-term solution. (He'd also come much cheaper than likely free-agent to be Sam Bradford.) That said, we've seen the long-time backups like Charlie Whitehurst, Matt Flynn or Kevin Kolb fall flat when given the chance to become a full-time starter. So, as Patra suggested, the Eagles chasing Daniel tells you all you need to know about the dearth of quarterback talent hitting the free-agent market this offseason.
