If his future is Herbert 2.0, I am pretty sure the FO wouldn't trade him for a short stack of flapjacks and call it even. They aren't that stupid. Our FO is actually one of the best in the game. If they trade him, that essentially means to me he is a bust. That's the only reason they would trade him out, and I don't think they will.
I had the same Herbert comparison over on Twitter. Here is my point. Would Kyle be happy with Justin Herbert? Would he fit into Kyle's offense? I'm not convinced the answer is a resounding YES!
What I am convinced is Kyle thinks his system is more important than any individual QB. Any QB must fit Kyle's offense because Kyle will not change his system for any QB. That's how stubborn he is.
It's no secret what Kyle is seeking. He wants a QB that can make quick reads, get rid of the ball in an accurate manner. Accuracy is key! Said QB must be able to hit the shorter passes in stride which allows his YAC receivers to excel. He doesn't need a QB to make those big chunk plays.
I don't think a Herbert/Lance type is the ideal fit. Yes this begs the question….why did the Niners draft Trey in the first place? This is the question that now haunts the organization.
But they've learned their lesson. They lucked out that Purdy came in and seemed to be the ideal fit for Kyle's offense. My guess is they'll draft a similar QB (Haener?) i the draft. Kyle doesn't develop QBs. He wants plug and play results which is another reason the Trey experiment doesn't work.
Any way you slice it, Trey is on the outside looking in. Only way we keep Trey is as a stopgap until Purdy recovers. The writing is on the wall. Niners have given up the ghost on Trey and again, it's due to Trey being the wrong type for Kyle's offense.
"Kyle's system". I hate this term because it suggests he never changes it. He wanted a QB running element to his run game because he saw the way the league was shifting in terms of defense. What coach doesn't want the ability to hit chunk plays? Just because he had Mullens and Jimmy doesn't mean he doesn't want a QB that can threaten vertically.
"Kyle's system" is whatever he happens to be running. It's not something set in stone, and if we really watch what's going on, you can see it changing over the past couple seasons, primarily in the run game.
What coach doesn't want a QB that can throw accurately to the correct target? This isn't some criteria that Kyle wants, every coach wants that.
"Kyle runs an offense that wants to score touchdowns and not field goals"
"Kyle wants a QB that can throw accurately and make the correct reads"
"Kyle wants a QB that doesn't turn the ball over".
What coach doesn't want those things?
