He wasn't as good at reading defenses or playing at high pace as Chase. But his phyiscal talents were good enough to be a good starting QB in college.
The offense they ran under Chase was also designed to fit Daniel's talents - quick reads, distribution of the ball, exploiting tight and crowded areas of the field.
Under Patton, it would have looked a little different and more like what it did with Gabbert at QB (though without the David Yost fruit-loopiness.

Patton had an insane arm, which is why he was actually scouted by NFL teams (as a backup QB). Anyone claiming that he had a weak arm is flat-out lying.
