So should we start listing all the times pocket QBs have been injured?

We literally seen one of our own HOF QBs career ended while standing in the pocket.

Football players get hurt. It's part of the game.

Regardless, running QB's suck ass in the NFL, especially if they struggle at passing like Lamar Jackson and Kaepernick. They're good for highlights but that's about it.

Are you implying Trey is a running QB? There's a huge difference between a running QB and a mobile QB. Right now, outside of Brady, the best QBs are mobile. Trey is mobile. He's not a running QB.

I'm okay with some growing pains. Not so much with HUGE growing pains. We have a SB caliber roster and a 4th string qb that is capable of getting them there. The idea of drafting him was to upgrade the position. I just worry about his inaccuracy. It's like he just throws and hopes.

We describing Trey or Jimmy? Jimmy literally has been on record saying he threw a pass out and couldn't even see the receiver. Luckily that ended up as a TD. We've seen Jimmy throw passes out there that match up exactly with what you described. So what's the difference now?

Uhhhh, this take makes zero sense to me. How are the two things alike? Every qb will throw blind trust passes once in a while. I'm talking about when Trey actually SEES the receivers and his accuracy with those throws.
More QBs get hurt in the pocket than when they run. Better to be hit by a DB than a 300 lb lineman. The truth is players get hurt all over the field. Qbs can get hurt in the pocket when getting sacked or by a late hit. When your feet are set and you get hit there's more chance of a knee injury.

Still you want your QB to stay in the pocket as much as possible but I also want him to be able to escape the pass rush when needed.

I don't think he could survive 17 games of that. In fact he didn't survive the one.. wasn't he inactive after this game? I pray for smarter usage.. like in the HOU game.

The following week was a bye week and Jimmy came back the week after that.

Trey's biggest issue was the speed of the game. I agree, Kyle shouldn't have had him running those RO plays in the AZ game. From my understanding, he never ran those types of plays in college. From what I have read is that they have been practicing them in TC this year. The hope is for him to become better at making the correct read and essentially protecting himself. If fans are really that scared of Trey being a part of the running game, I would tell them to not even turn the television on this season.

To follow up on this.. it was a bye then Colts and TL was inactive for Colts. Sudfeld was our #2 that game. One QB run heavy game.. and it had him out a couple weeks..

And ppl say run all day TL there is no evidence it's a prob for running qbs

Sure he can run.. but be smart and most of all avoid contact..

Like I said, if Trey being part of the running game upsets fans that much, they aught to find something else to do on Sundays. Their emotional state will depend on it.

This is one of the most ridiculous takes I have read on here. Trey made some pretty clutch throws in tight coverage last season. His biggest issue was not trusting what he saw, holding the ball too long and then gunning it in there to try to make up for it. This caused the ball to sail on him sometimes. I have a suspicion that once Trey really trusts what he sees, these so called "accuracy issues" will go away.

I'm curious as to where all of those "clutch" throws you are referring to were, maybe it was a dream idk. And if by your example the ball is sailing on him sometimes, that kind of makes my point.

As it pertains to Lance, he does need to protect himself better and understand what is a 'gotta have it' down. He tried to take on a safety on a 3rd & 2 in the first quarter (HOU). He tried to take on a LB at the goal line in the second quarter (ARI). I don't mind him running if he gets down early, but if he doesn't, then he either needs to learn how to, or Kyle needs to protect Lance from himself and not call as many plays where Lance has the option to keep.

It isn't my fault if you didn't watch the games. Trey made some great throws to Aiyuk, Deebo and Sanu in tight coverage. Sanu dropped at least 1, if not, 2 third down passes. I explained why a few of his passes sailed on him. When he trusts what he sees and throws the ball on time, he has shown fine accuracy.

he could improve his ball placement overall though. That was his biggest issue in college. But thats really mechanics based and i think that was the main focus with the QB coach.

Im excited for the preseason games

Little bit like early Steve Young syndrome.

Still had a chance to take the lead when it was 20-24 in the 4th quarter.

To be fair, the Houston game was effectively a playoff game for us. Lance needed to save our season and he was going to do whatever it took to do that.

I agree about the Cardinals game, but it was his first start and only second football game in 2 years.

It has nothing to do with Jimmy. It has everything to do with running qbs and your belief that Lamar would have won the superbowl.

Who won the superbowl, your hero kaep? Or statue pocket passer Joe flacco?

Who were the final four qbs last year? Burrow, Stafford, Jimmy amd mahommes. All pocket passers.

The only running qb I could see winning a superbowl anytime soon is josh allen. And that's ONLY because he developed from the pocket.

Our roster and the Rams were probably the best in the NFL, so there's no surprise they were one of the top teams. Mahomes and Burrow are pretty damn mobile if you haven't noticed lol.

And Kap actually beat Flacco 29-27 if you wanna narrow it down like that. It's not Flacco > Kap that won them the SB.

Mobile qbs who work from the pocket and running qbs who have no clue how to play from the pocket like are 2 different players.

And kaep could punch it in when it counted because he sucked from the pocket. But you know who likely would have? Alex Smith.

Right but our highest paid player played like s**t. Decent QB play and we have at least one SB with Shanny

Better offensive line play and that player might have been able to make a play. He got us a 10 point lead late in the game. It's a team loss, the point being.
