B.J. Daniels to wide receiver? Maybe not

The Seattle Seahawks may have a problem on their hands. It seems the B.J. Daniels isn’t taking his recent position change well. The quarterback to wide receiver conversion might not be as automatic as previously indicated.

Both Pete Carroll and John Schneider have talked about Daniels recently as one of the options at wide receiver and kick returner. He wasn’t even brought up as an option at backup quarterback when asked about what the Seahawks had planned with Tarvaris Jackson being a free agent.

B.J. Daniels isn’t particularly happy about this development, and he took to twitter today to express his thoughts on the matter.

This is a significant development for the Seahawks. The team was counting on Daniels to be a part of the competition at receiver. Now they must acquire another player that offered what they believe Daniels brought to the table at the position.

It is also a significant development for Daniels. By declaring that he won’t make the position switch, there is a good chance that he won’t be on the roster for much longer. He is putting his already tenuous NFL career in jeopardy.

The biggest issue is that Daniels hasn’t shown that he has the skills and talent to play quarterback at the NFL level. He hasn’t had much of a chance to do so, but he is still taking a big risk by assuming that another team will be willing to give him that chance.

Of course, there is another possibility to consider, though it is rather unlikely. It is possible that the Seahawks have recently decided to move on from Tarvaris Jackson or another veteran as the team’s backup quarterback. That would would constitute a major change in strategy for the Seahawks.

If that happened, then the Seahawks would want someone like Daniels to compete with a rookie in training camp. If they’ve told Daniels that, then his twitter posts are his way of expressing his relief about the decision.

Either way, the Seahawks now have to deal with the opening at wide receiver, and possibly the problem of a disgruntled players that currently lacks a position.
