Stanford Cardinal quarterback job unsettled heading into opener, but not for lack of candidates
Briefly

Some quarterbacks might be upset when they drive the team inside the 5, only to see someone else come in to finish the possession. But Stanford junior Ashton Daniels said he was thankful when run-first quarterback Justin Lamson would take over the red zone offense at times last season. It helps you to not get beat up in those short-yardage, goal-line situations, Daniels said. You're not just taking every single hit, and it saves your body.
I always use that as motivation, Daniels said. I know I can't be content, the job's not done, I have to continue to get better every single day. That's pushed me and it's pushed everyone in the quarterback room. They know the job is up for grabs. But Daniels is expected to take the first snaps.
Taylor may play multiple QBs in a game, like he did 11 times last season. Ashton’s a really good player, had a really good camp, said Taylor, who is also the quarterbacks coach. Justin's had a great fall camp, and Elijah's had a fantastic camp too.
