The Trey Lance project, IMO, is officially over. No way we can take an injured 'project' quarterback who will be coming back from a horrid injury (which will affect what was supposed to be one of his biggest strengths eg mobility) in his third year to play what will be in effect his rookie season.
There was nothing about Trey before this injury that made any of us think he was the next great football phenom. And certainly I wouldn't expect him to come back from this with added elusiveness, agility, etc. He's gonna need a long rehab, and then we're hoping that come year 4 or 5 after we drafted him he will be our franchise quarterback?
no thanks. Time to look elsewhere.
Trey will be starting Week 1 next season, and likely in 2024 as well. To give up on him after four starts is foolishness beyond reason.
Or do you expect them to start Purdy next year with Lance backing him up?
I don't think Trey will be ready week 1 next season. We don't know the extent of his injury, but a season ending ankle fracture usually means both the tibia and fibula are involved (eg Garrison Hearst anyone ?). The news is about to get a lot worse for us Niner fans in the coming days so brace yourself. I think Trey is a done deal.
Dak broke his ankle later than week 2 and started week 1 the following year. Unless a massive set back Trey will be good to go, this isn't a nerve damage and tears of multiple ligaments were talking about.
And if I recalled correctly, Dak was a full go at the start of the 2021 training camp.
