I liked Nate Davis, but was disappointed in hearing about his poor work ethic and weight gain. I still think he's going to be a good QB in the league.
It really doesn't matter how good Nate is going to be, now. What matters is if Balke and Harbaugh can find the next franchise QB for the 49ers. If they can it's all good.

Carroll: "So, Nate, what kind of inside secrets can you tell us about the 49ers offense."
Nate: "Off...fence? Nate not on fence."
Carrol: "No, O-F-F-E-N-S-E"
Nate: "Ohhh you mean when me throw ball far?"
Carroll: "Umm, yes, sort of. I was just wondering if you have any inside knowledge of the 49ers playbook."
Nate: "Playbook too confusing say Singletary, He tell Nate to throw ball to red colored jerseys. Nate likes to throw ball far..."
Carroll" "Hey Scott! Is this the best you can get me from the 49ers?! Get Alex Smith on the line."

The 2 major factors I see in Nate Davis not being able to become a legit NFL QB are outlined in this June 2010 article:
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."

-Before starting your 2nd year in the league you are studying "up to 45 minutes a night" on the playbook. Is that because he doesn't have work ethic, or because of his learning disability he can't spend long hours learning the playbook?
-He has a hard time hearing the play and then repeating it verbally in the huddle. If his dyslexia is also effecting verbalizing an NFL play call in the huddle I just think it will hold him back too much to be successful.

Maybe in the next 15 years he will be able to learn their offense.

You can talk about him being lazy or unmotivated but dude was accurate on the field, had good pocket presence.
As for not knowing the playbook, we scored most of our td's in the preseason with him under center. Against 3rd and 4th stringers yes, but, he obviously knnew the playbook good enough right?
-He's an idiot, and gained 20 pounds.
-He wasn't accurate. Hail mary's aren't supposed to be accurate. He could throw those but that's not a pass you do every play. That really was his only impressive pass, that one long hail mary.
-We saw him in PRESEASON, and not against starters. You think our coaches really had him following the playbook in preseason? It's pretty much just trying to find an open guy and going for him.
Harbaugh's playbook is going to be way more complicated and diverse than singletary's, if he couldn't learn singletary's tiny playbook wtf is he going to do with harbaugh's?
I don't care if he was amazing in preseason, there's a reason dumbasses don't often succeed playing this position. There's so much to think about when a real pass rush is coming down on you and good CB's are covering your receiving options.

I never cared much for Nate. I thought he had a great arm and IMO, he was pretty accurate. he threw straight up lasers. But if he can't learn an nfl playbook in TWO years, you have big problems. Plus, it was Rayes 3 page playbook, and all the pages had the same run up the gut play, so what was so difficult to learn?
