The fans have spoken. I asked who you thought was the greatest Mizzou quarterback was since the year 2000, which is only a list of five, and you have chosen Chase Daniel.
Name: Chase DanielPos: QB
Ht: 6'1"
Wt: 225lbs
Born: 7 Oct 1986
Hometown: Southlake, TX
High School: Carroll High School
In his tenure at Mizzou, Chase threw for 12,515 yards. A school record. He threw for 101 touchdowns and 41 interceptions. His senior season (2008) was his best, as he posted a career high QB rating of 159.44. His four-year average rating was 148.95. Over his career at Mizzou, he posted a 30-11 record, including back-to-back 10-win seasons...the first such accomplishment in school history. He helped lead Mizzou to their first number-1 ranking since 1960, when they beat then 2nd-ranked Kansas in the most watched football event in either school's history, along with the second-highest crowd at Arrowhead Stadium. In 2008, during a two-game stretch against SEMO and Nevada, Chase tossed for more touchdowns (7) than incomplete passes (6). On December 6th, 2008, Daniel became Missouri's all-time offensive leader with 13,256, surpassing Brad Smith's 13,088. He was a Heisman candidate two years running, in 2007 and 2008, and his 4th-place finish was the second highest by a Tiger since Paul Christman finished 3rd in 1939.
Chase went undrafted in 2009, and was signed as a free agent by the Washington Redskins. He was later cut by the Redskins and was picked up by the New Orleans Saints for the practice squad. Despite never playing a down in the 2009-2010 season, Chase was a member of the Super Bowl championship team when he was resigned on December 11th, 2009 after being cut December 9th, 2009, and later promoted to the active roster on January 1st, 2010.
In 2011, Chase announced he would be establishing and endowing a scholarship that would be awarded to a Missouri football recruit from his home state of Texas.
