I'm starting to think Trey has legit MVP chances next season. Best LT, best FB, best TE, one of the best WR, Aiyuk getting on Deebo's level, KS dialing it up. This could be historic.
Oh, please. Where does this stuff come from? Fred Warner says Trey is doing a good job in practice and somehow that equates to him being a "legit MVP" candidate next year. I swear the leaps in reasoning that people have taken about this kid since he was drafted are really something. Can't remember ever seeing anything like it before.
It's probably a stretch, but I think it's about similar to the bust talk. I'd be shocked if Trey busts, just has too much between the ears and too much work ethic. He'd have half a chance if he was half as talented.
I just don't think anyone in here has a legitimate idea of what kind of player Lance is going to be, one way or the other. Personally, I hope he turns out to be great but I'll reserve judgement until I have actually seen him play more than six quarters of okay football. He came into the league with less experience than any other prospect in decades but ever since he got here its been, "Oh, he's going to be great at this", or "Oh, he's going to be great at that". There is certainly nothing wrong with a bit of enthusiasm but, as I said, I can't ever remember seeing this kind conjecture and projection and pre-mature speculation about a player. It's a bit puzzling.
I agree with the bold which is why I repeatedly said it's BS to assume this season would be wasted if Trey Lance started from week one.
No one knows what would have happened if Lance got the first team reps since training camp.
But I believe I've seen you support that sentiment from other posters that we would be worse off in this scenario with Lance starting.
Isn't that contradicting yourself?
I trust in KS who makes roster decisions on weekly starters. I don't see any contradiction in KS belief that JG gives the best chance in 2021 and TL gives the best chance in 2022. The league and the players in it are not static.
That's not my point though.
Here's the contradiction I'm trying explain:
It's not okay to assume Lance will play very well in 2022 but it's okay to assume starting Lance this year would result in a wasted season.
We either know who Lance is as a player or we don't.
I think it's obvious we don't yet.
So I could be wrong but I believe 49ers81 agreed with the wasted season idea which would mean he does assume what kind of player Lance is and that's the opposite of his reasoning now.
