I'm watching the Houston game right now (nfl game pass). I'm into the fourth quarter and it's making me nervous about next year. People saying he's already better than Jimmy aren't watching the games. I'm not saying Trey will bust, I'm saying it may not be as awesome as we all hope next year.
Dude he didn't play football in 2020, he got no legit snaps for like 6 months before getting tossed into two games with a weeks worth of 1st string reps.
He's a rookie QB. I feel like people in here have never experienced drafting a high end rookie QB and dealt with the process of all it.
FWIW outside of a couple posters, I don't think people think it's gonna be some magical Mahomes 50 TD season next yr from Lance. I expect him to improve as the season goes. I expect this team to play top end defense and run the hell out of the ball.
I am not so high on his performance against Houston as others. He had maybe 4 or 5 nice throws. Really saved by that PI which led to an easy td.
With that said, I have very low expectations next year knowing this will essentially be his rookie year. Some guys on here truly are expecting a mahommes like season and they're in for a serious disappointment.
Show one person expecting Mahomes like season?
People are bringing up Mahomes because their situations are so similar. Nobody should be expecting Mahomes like season because under Kyle Shanahan the 49ers will never pass the ball as much as KC did. Our defense should also be much better than what KC had that season. Hell that season was an outlier for Mahomes as well. He's actually gotten better but hasn't touched 40 TDs in a season let alone 50.
That's also what people claiming "he's not ready" seem to gloss over or just don't care to make stupid points.
49ers don't need Trey Lance to put up 5000 yards 50 TDs. They don't even need 4000 yards and 40 TDs, although obviously they'd gladly take either.
They were a couple of plays away from going and likely winning a SB with a QB who had 3800 yards and 20 TDs.
Trey doesn't need to carry the team. He just needs to make key plays as part of the offense and help the team win.
He is 100% ready to do that because he's got Kyle Shanahan as a coach and a very talented roster around him.
Go look at Russell Wilson's numbers when they won the SB or even when they went back and lost at the goal line the next year.
Trey will be ready to rock. It doesn't mean he's gonna be an instant all pro and that's just fine.
