Fascinating if true. Did it come directly from Shannhan or Lynch or is this more media nonsense?
makes sense, he's familiar with all our concepts and comfortable playing under center. His mechanics aren't broken and have vastly improved from his tape to now (never worked with QB coaches before, big difference in his mechanics over the past 6 months). i'm not worried about his accuracy.
Hard to believe.
He looked really good mechanics-wise in his second pro day.
His mechanics and accuracy will be really interesting to see if he plays this year. Kyle has said he's not going to scrutinize throwing motion during the season, as those mechanics are kind of like micro-adjustments that are worked on in the offseason. Instead, he'll just focus on their footwork and making sure the guy is in correct position.
But yeah, while Lance hasn't gotten the reps and weekly practices last season, he spent the time studying NFL offenses and working on mechanics.
I liked the answer Kyle gave when a reporter brought up Lance's accuracy. How it's something that is worked on from January to April, when the QB seeks out coaching on his own. I think Lance's personality helps put any concerns at ease. Meaning Kyle thinks Lance is the type of guy that will work January to April to refine mechanics. Kyle seems to have fallen in love with Lance the person just as much as Lance the QB.
I remember Steve (one read and run) Young, and then once he was ready and took over Montana's spot, he was unstoppable. I hope Trey never develops that one read and run bad habit, it took Steve *years* to get rid of it. I suspect it came from the atrocious Tampa Bay coaching.
As for accuracy, once Steve calmed down in the pocket he was unbelievably accurate. I think Treys calm demeanor is going to help that accuracy. If Drew Brees can come back from a (I think) a rotator cuff surgery, and get back his accuracy, Trey -- fully healthy-- isn't going to have too much accuracy problems. Key is that he puts the work in like Brees did to get his accuracy.
I think putting in Trey too soon would retard his accuracy - because a lot of accuracy is just knowing the coverage, and knowing who is going to be open even before the play starts.
