1) Trey should start the rest of the season.
2) Shanahan needs to chill tf out with the QB runs before he gets him injured.
After rewatching all of Trey Lance plays against AZ, I have to say that I really like what I saw. I absolutely want to see more. He made some really nice throws in big time situations but our pass catchers did him no favors half the time.
There was a 4th and 5 play at 9:12 of the 3rd quarter. AZ brought the heat and Trey delivered a perfect strike to Sanu for the 1st down.
There was a 3rd and 3 play at 14:09 of the 2nd quarter. AZ defender had Aiyuk blanketed and Trey places the ball where only his guy can catch it. Very nice catch by Aiyuk as well.
4:04 2nd quarter 3rd and 11 Trey steps up into the pocket and delivers a strike to Sanu between 4 defenders. Sanu dropped it but it does not take away from the great play by Trey.
Just this game alone, I saw the ball spread out amongst all of our pass catchers a lot more. It wasn't just the Deebo show like in previous weeks. I honestly thought it was Shanahan who was just force feeding Deebo but now I am under the impression that it was just Jimmy favoring him this whole time.
I take back what I said about him being a one read and run QB. Most of those runs were QB draws that Kyle was calling.
I am fully on board with starting Trey the rest of the season. He is highly intelligent and our receivers need to get used to his passes. He also needs to break the huddle and get to the line sooner. Once those things happen, I think this offense begins to take off.
