Is Elijah Brown.  9 for 9, 97 yards, 1 TD, no INTs.  He found the open receivers (quickly) and put the ball right in the receivers hands pass after pass...

It is indeed gratifying to see him (and his teammates) execute his "package" so well. However, we shouldn't over-interpret the results. The CPSLO team Brown faced was not playing with the same enthusiasm and effort they were able to muster in the first half. They were a spent force by the time Brown got out there. That said, he clearly brings skills that Daniels does not. In the "right" situation he showed signs of excellence. TT put him in that appropriate situation and Brown had success.

IMO Daniels is QB1 because he is a better runner than Brown and a better passer than Lamson. He is not "elite" in any of these skills, but brings a viable package. In particular he has the ability to scramble. With our OL that is a necessity. He also does "OK" on designed runs at least occasionally. Can Brown do that? I don't know, but from what I hear he can, to some degree. He is not as good at it as Daniels, from what I hear. Of course, that could be BS (in either direction).

IMO we just have to trust that TT sees all three QBs in practice and can chose who needs to play most of the snaps. It is often difficult to determine in practice how a QB will react to the various forms of pressure, both mental and physical. They have to go out and play "when it matters". Brown hasn't done that yet. Maybe he will "soon".

FWIW Daniels seemed to go through his progressions in this game much better than in the previous one. However, he did go after his first read in several situations where there were IMO better options.
