………seriously

Not one reporter asked him about no knee brace.

Or only throwing short passes. The announcers even commented on how it was a good plan to dial up short passes so Jimmy can get rid of the ball quickly. Trey wasn't throwing dink and dunk stuff. The O line wasn't giving him a lot of time and he took a lot of sacks but that's partly on the line and partly on him. You can't be ready to make an overall comparison between a guy that just played his 1st game and only his second action in 2 years and a player that's been in the league for years. Jimmy's fans were saying he needs another year to learn Kyle's system but they already want to say Trey sucks after one pre season game.

It is what he didn't do that is important:

a) He didn't get sacked once (let alone 4 times) with the Chiefs no 1 defense

b) He did not miss a pass (compared to 4 out of 15)

Trey showed he can land a long pass. He did not show he was able to convert 3rd downs and has to work on his pocket awareness. It is a big step up from college football and he is still obviously raw. To even entertain he will be the starter in game one is utterly unrealistic. Shanahan and Lynch roll a bit smarter then taking such risks.

While Trey has potential he needs to be honed by the coaches for a fair time yet. Now is not his time.

Hard to get sacked when he's constantly checking down.

The Niners didn't want to be stuck with mediocrity so they drafted a QB....As the saying goes "no risk, no reward"

Jimmy looked good last night in limited action.

Did he? He didn't really do anything either way. A few short passes and then threw it short on 3rd and 15. The offense is still too reliant on guys like Deebo, Aiyuk, and Kittle creating YAC and barreling over guys.

Umm isn't that what you want the QB to do is rely on his weapons??

To an extent, yes, sure. Though, if we want these guys to remain healthy we need to ask Deebo and the others to stop forcing so much contact. Right now, our offense is reliant on our playmakers being extremely physical and it shouldn't be a surprise that none of them made it through last season healthy.

None of them made it healthy due to a lot of things, but mostly conditioning. Not sure if you remember but Covid restricted a lot of things like OTA's, mini camp and training camp and Preseason. It wasn't just playmakers on offense that were injured, it was pretty much the whole goddam team.

Am I making sense, a certain poster says I just like to argue and not make sense. So just checking!!!

You're not wrong in the sense that Covid obviously impacted their conditioning.

However, Deebo and Kittle have both missed time outside of last year. I think their physical style of play is going to get them banged up pretty frequently. If we rely too heavily on them taking short passes and running over guys to get YAC, it'll become even more frequent.

Doing all these end arounds and trick plays are great and all. But it does make me worry sometimes that we're beating down their bodies faster.

Kittle has missed 3 games in 3 years prior to last season.

Alex Smith on the #49ers QB situation:

"If [Jimmy] stays healthy, I think he's going to have a big year....he's a heck of a player & really has been bitten by the injury bug. It would be amazing for Trey [Lance] to watch a guy play at the kind of level that Jimmy can operate."

I wonder how much Alex sees himself in this situation, which influences what he says?

He is injury prone. We need to draft his replacement and cut him

I don't think his trade value would be worth more then a 3rd round given how he gets injured all the time

I don't remember Kittle missing two out of three years because of Injury.

3 for 3. Not quite a Wendy's 4 for 4 but damnit, the job is his the rest of the year for that performance!
