3 starts. That's all he has under his belt. 3 starts is not enough for all the crap this kid takes from the media. It's painful to watch and listen to. Give him a fair shot to perform then speak your mind. Just don't bury the kid before he gets his shot to play…
We don't need to give him anything. Idk why fans want everything given to him
He opted for the NFL on that one miraculous FCS season. Should have stayed in college at least another year, but he didn't want to risk his draft positioning I guess. He did what he had to and earned 35M at age 20.
This is a really dumb take imo. The guy went 3rd overall with Trevor Lawrence being one of the guys ahead of him.
He opted for the NFL after his 3rd season in college, much like other guys do. I'm sure if he had a choice he would've played a full season with NDS in 2020 but covid had other plans. There was no reason for him to go back. You guys are simply using hindsight now but I can guarantee you sitting and learning on the bench of an NFL team would still be better long term for him than going back for another season in the FCS, not to mention the potential for injury/draft stock to be lower.
Lance didn't opt out for the covid year like Parsons, Chase and other high end prospects, he simply got screwed by covid and schools canceling their games. If anything kudos to him for playing the one game they had as it was the one ugly game he had in his college career.
He redshirted one year and still didn't earn his degree despite the 2020 season basically being cancelled? Is this true? He still doesn't have a college degree? I'll stop here as maybe he earned it really fast or something.
Yes, as I
implied, there probably was a primary reason for him not to go back one more year but if he did, and he did well, it could have solidified his chance at #1 overall with Kenny Pickett and Desmond Ridder as his only competition in 2022. Why did he come out in a draft with the likes of Lawrence, Wilson, Fields, McCorkly? Because of all the hype/intrigue about his past performance, measurables, and potential ceiling. He absolutely fleeced the 49ers. And in hindsight it was a dumb decision (so far) on his part to join the NFL in 2021 because he was drafted by the 49ers and they absolutey f**ked him up.
With all this said I really hope Trey turns a corner this year and puts Purdy and Darnold in his rearview mirror permanently as QB1 for the 49ers. If he can we are going to the moon for sure. Chances of this happening though?
