Obviously, I base that on Kyle's judgement. What else? He's the one who decided trey wasn't ready for prime time, and went with Jimmy. Trey was 21. Come on.
Kyle said they were one game away from putting in Trey (and I believe he said they may have done it earlier if Trey hadn't got hurt).
kyle didnt put trey in the playoffs where jimmy played like ass with his bun right arm. That speaks for itself. Trey was 2 years away
Oh goodness you really believe that? If we can turn back the clock, Jimmy staved off elimination week 18 with 1:30 left against the Rams. He battled against the Cowboys and put us in a position to win that game. Wasn't pretty but he did enough. Then, injured, he goes to Lambeau and played bad, however he led the 1 drive Rodgers couldn't. Why in the world would Kyle turn to Lance during that run? That would have crushed guys like Kittle, Deebo, Trent, Warner, and the other vets.
You have to think of the entire team holistically. If we turn to Lance after that week 18 performance, the team may not have liked that decision. The rhythm and timing would have been off. If we turn to Lance after the first playoff win in Dallas, the TEAM definitely would not have been on board with that. If we turn to Lance after the GB win, well you see what im getting at. There was way more nuance into the decision to keep Jimmy in that "Just play a healthy Lance." The team was riding and dying with Jimmy no matter what.
