CAN THIS BE A NEW BACKUP QB?

 

49ers release Nate Davis to pick up Troy Smith Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 6, 2010 8:41 PM ET Jason Whitlock's favorite player since Jeff George has been released by the 49ers to make room for Troy Smith.

Multiple reports in the Bay Area indicated that the 49ers let go of former Ball State quarterback Nate Davis on Monday evening.  The 49ers have since confirmed the move and then announced the signing of former Ravens backup Troy Smith.

Smith could challenge David Carr for the team's backup job once he learns the 49ers system.

Davis still has practice squad eligibility, and that's where we'd expect him to end up.  Still, Davis has a lot of talent and another team could possibly claim him off waivers.

Argh.

Not sure how the waiver order works at this point, still probably by last year’s finish, but multiple teams have already put in claims.

No way he fits here..

Davis has a learning disability and I dont think there is a fit here. We need to go with 18 and the current backups.

i dont think the learning disability would have too much of an effect long term

i guess his work ethic stinks. after seeing him play at Ball State he has a ton of potential and natural ability. as far as the learning disability goes, Vince Young is a starter. but no you are right he is not a fit.
