Davis to Practice Squad after all

Mike Singletary on KNBR: Says the hope is that the 49ers are able to place QB Nate Davis on their practice squad.Because Nate Davis was released so late MON, the waiver process won't begin until today. Niners must wait until WED (1PM PST) to see if he passes ...

The quarterback, 49ers second-year pro Nate Davis, has dyslexia and often works for close to 45 minutes at night with housemate and Niners wide receiver Dominique Zeigler to master the system. Davis' learning disability often causes him to mix up basics like left and right - not a good thing in the football world when sets and blocking patterns depend on directions.

He has a tough time "getting the play out" and actually executing a given call.

"I know what I'm doing out there. It's just saying the play, that's my main problem, getting the words out," Davis said. "I made big progress from last year. I've just got to keep on working."

If you can't say the play in the huddle how can you be an NFL QB? How can you be a quality back up QB if you are spending "around" 45 minutes a night preparing and learning the system?

Who is he that much better than that's not already a back up in the NFL? I'd say odds are easily 50/50 he makes it on the PS if not better.

"......................I tried.......".

Apparently, Davis got claimed already.

Quote:
Mike Singletary said on KNBR Tuesday morning that he hopes to shuttle quarterback Nate Davis through waivers and then plant him on the practice squad. Don't expect that to happen. According to a tweet by Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock, Davis has already been claimed by several teams. Whitlock may be wrong, but he's in a position to know. He's close to Davis and to the Ball State football program where Whitlock played ball. Davis also played at Ball State.
