Bazelak is toast. He did not play at all on Saturday one week after looking significantly worse than Daniels. The source notes it doesn't really matter what the reason was; Bazelak not being able to stymie Daniels' momentum only worsens his chances of staying with the team. Keeping four QBs seems unlikely, so the second-year signal caller feels destined for the waiver wire.

Bazelak did not play at all in preseason week 2, one week after looking significantly worse than Jalon Daniels. His inability to stymie Daniels' momentum only worsens his chances of staying with the team. With keeping four QBs seeming unlikely, the second-year signal caller feels destined for the waiver wire.

Backup quarterback Connor Bazelak and the offense struggled in the first half of the preseason game against the Jets. Bazelak went 12/20 for 72 passing yards and the offense had difficulty consistently moving the football. Demonte Capehart's analysis suggests Bazelak's experience edge may not be enough to secure the QB3 role, with undrafted free agent Jalon Daniels outperforming him and emerging as the front runner for that position.

Connor Bazelak and the offense struggled in the first half, going 12/20 for 72 passing yards with difficulty consistently moving the football. While Bazelak has the experience edge for the QB depth chart, his poor preseason performance strengthens Jalon Daniels' case for the QB3 role.

QB Connor Bazelak needed a strong performance to keep Jalon Daniels at bay but failed to deliver. The second-year signal caller out of Bowling Green looked rattled by his short-notice start after Jake Browning's back injury. Bazelak's accuracy and ball placement were scattershot, dirting balls or throwing behind the intended target multiple times. He finished 12 of 20 for 72 yards, averaging under 5 yards per attempt. With Daniels staking his claim with a much better debut, Bazelak has ground to make up in the next two contests.
