So assuming the changes in mechanics stick, there's still more to it than that for accuracy. Has he adapted his timing and anticipation the tiny amount needed to compensate for the changed delivery? Has he figured out how the power he uses on a given throw might be different? Etc.

And he still needs a lot of experience just playing against coverages. The road may still be long.

But, if he can hit the wide open guy, it bodes well for him.

I agree, but at least it's heading in the right direction. I'm cautiously optimistic that he will be able to transfer it to the field. All the things you mentioned above are critical though. We will learn a lot about him when 11-11 starts.

A comparative look at Trey Lance's throwing motion in 2021 vs 2023 OTAs. Slowed down the same amount.

load looks more compact which is good/faster, too hard to tell if he has changed his delivery... wait and see with better video... problem is, when he is not thinking and just reacting is he going to revert to how he always threw the ball... hard to make major changes to the passing motion at his age and be successful

"Split reps"

[Tweet

Practice just ended. Trey Lance took all the 1st team reps and completed 12 of 17 pass attempts. Sam Darnold took all the 2nd team reps and completed 11 of 15 pass attempts. Darnold also fumbled a snap. Brandon Allen didn't miss a throw.

Maybe Darnold gets all the first team reps tomorrow.

I didn't really expect darnold to get any first team reps until camp. Let him learn the offense before you take the ball out of the guy who knows the offenses hand.

You have no idea what he will revert to. That's a wait and see

Kyle Shanahan says that Trey Lance has been able to correct his grip, which was compromised by the 2021 fractured finger, and that's put him in a much better spot mechanically now than last year.

This was noticeable on the practice field today #49ers

Best of both worlds if Lance has made these great adjustments and plays well and Purdy comes back looking good.

Looks cleaner and like most have said, lets see if he can maintain it and progress it into the season.

Trey Lance says that his 2021 finger fracture triggered a domino effect of mechanical issues — that's fully behind him now

#49ers Trey Lance says Brock Purdy has earned the "leader in the clubhouse" label and gives a ton of credit to what he accomplished last season

and yet people for whatever reason give him all kinds of s**t.

I wonder if the finger booboo contributed to having a higher frequency of wobbles per rotation in his passes.
