After pulling the trigger on CMC, they committed more so to a "Win NOW" mentality. I really do believe Trey Lance has a future in this league, but his development was set back by a year when he got injured. Trying to roll with Trey next year might hurt the window that we have with this roster.
But yeah... My prediction is that Jimmy's going to finish this season strong. We're moving toward a pass-first offense, he's playing well, and the offense is presumably going to get better over the last six games. He'll have strong statistical numbers numbers and hopefully should have a solid playoff run. That's a good situation for us this year, but it really muddies up our decision-making in the offseason at the QB position.
If Jimmy does well in the rest of the regular season and playoffs, he's going to have suitors. He's going to have the opportunity to get paid well, guaranteed money, on a multi-year contract. Even if Jimmy was okay with coming back and having Trey breathing down his neck (I doubt that), we're not going to commit to him and give him guaranteed money if we view Trey Lance as the QB of the Future.
I just don't see it happening if they have Trey Lance on the roster. To re-sign Jimmy, they'd have to make a tough call.
There is a reason Jimmy is on a backup deal for just this season... he won't be back, but at least "they" or "we" are finally getting "their" or "our" money's worth kind of 🤣
Definitely find out at the end of the season but at least he was only pay backup money for this year, like I have already said, genius move really 🤣
