Isn't looking bad? Dunno man! One play Trey has looked the worst of the 5 rooks. I will say he has looked better than Monds and Trask though,
His highs have been higher than any of them, and he has half of their experience — at best. He is far more moldable than the others, which is why this panic s**t is so stupid. Remember Alex Smith as a rookie? THAT is what a bust looks like.
His lows have been lower than any of them. There have been half as many highs as there have been lows - at best. I don't think he himself is moldable. You can mold your offense around him more than others. Unfortunately, if he doesn't progress on the more important aspects of the QB position we may have to.
His play in preseason reminds me of my golf game. Spray balls all over the course then I hit that one good shot then think I got things figured out and want to play another 9. Then I'm back to spraying balls all over the course.
As for the experience portion of your post. We were reminded he started as many games as Mac. We were told he was the best fit because he played in a pro style offense. While also running the same concepts as Kyle's offense.
I don't think one play Trey is a bust. I think he can be a good QB once he has the more important QB TRAITS like the ones Mac has. The question is will he ever develop the ELITE traits Mac has.
If not, one play Trey will be Kaepernick 2.0
He's ALREADY been molded from what he was. Have you even been paying attention?
Look at 4:35 here:

And comparing experience to Jones is absolutely ASININE because it ignores the fact that Trey has thrown significantly fewer PASSES. Including college and ALL of his high school career he has thrown barely more passes than Jones did
just last year.
And lastly, "what we are told" is irrelevant. What Trey had experience in was the play-action passing game — the single easiest thing QBs do besides handing the ball off. What he DIDN'T have much experience in is standard progression pocket passing, which he was not particularly good at, and which he has CLEARLY improved, thus undermining your claim that he isn't moldable.
In fact, within TWO GAMES he has gotten better at seeing the quick game and pulling the trigger. What games are you even watching? Probably Patriot games…
