Right. That's why no rookie should play. It worked out for joe. He won a super bowl in year three with ricky patton earl cooper lenvil elliot and charlie young carrying the load.of course joe worked for true pass game genius who invemted the foundations of modern possession passing. So there's that.
Peyton Manning 'shouldn'tve' played in 1998?
My point exactly. No.
Ben Roethlisberger went 15-1 in his rookie year and won an SB in his 2nd year.
Before his arrival, the Steelers were perennial contenders with excellent defenses, run games, and skill players who couldn't get over the hump because of mediocre QB play. Sounds familiar.
Trey was drafted to get the Niners over the hump, if he isn't ready then it's not go back to Jimmy, it's ship both QBs out & bring in Brady to finally get ring #6.
But that isn't the case, Trey is prepared to start and run Shanahan's offense.
Here's a comparison of Jimmy's 3rd year stats that made him a hot commodity vs. Lance's rookie year.
Jimmy Year 3:
43-63 68.3% for 504 yards and 4 tds and no int. 113.3 QB rating.
2-0* against 7-8-1 Cardinals and 10-6 Dolphins
*injured shoulder in 3rd quarter of Dolphins game and missed the next 2 games of Brady's suspension.
Lance Year 1:
41-71 57.7% 604 yards 5 tds 2 ints 2 running tds 97.3 QB rating
2.5 games against 7-10 Seahawks, 11-6 Cardinals, and 4-13 Texans. 1-1 starter record.
Claiming Lance isn't ready and that rookies shouldn't play, goes against evidence to the contrary.
