Yeah, I guess

This is the same guy that hoped Brock would remain hurt until at least week 6 so that Lance can get reps. I'm sure he was happy too see Brock return waaay ahead of a schedule.

I wanted to see Lance play a handful of consecutive games and vs Dallas Week 5 Sunday night football and see if Trey would put up more than 19 points on the Cowboys and compare the two QBs.

Wished nothing but Brock returning to 💯 percent and experiencing no ill effects from his injury - just preferred it by Week 6 to get more data points on our blue chip #3 overall draft pick selected because Jimmy wasn't good enough before we handed over the reigns to the the last pick in the draft who happened to play at a top level for seven games. Makes no difference when I wanted Brock healthy because I wanted him back at 100 percent. Now if I wanted Brock to never be the same qb again because of his injury and never fully recover from it then yeah that would be an opinion worthy of condemnation. Brock being 💯 Week 1 or Week 6 is still the same thing... as he is still 💯

The only thing dumber than trading all those 1st round picks for a bust is trading him before you know what you have or don't have in the player and then he goes somewhere else and lights up the league and becomes a top 5 qb. The only way to know what we have is more data points, hence Brock coming back Week 6 at 100 percent would enable that.

Like I said, you hoped he would remain unhealthy until week 6 so that Lance could get reps. You just said the same exact thing. I never said you wanted him to stay hurt for the rest of his career.

Brock was going to be week 1 starter so best way for Lance to get on the field is for Brock to not be healthy, therefore you hoped he would take longer so that your preferred QB can play.

Yes I hoped he would take longer so my preferred qb for the LONG TERM success of the team could play so I could get some needed data points to assess the #3 overall draft pick that we traded two additional 1st rounders to acquire.

We saw Brock with 7 games last year in a row coming in after the team was already playing great running on all cylinders on a 4 game win streak playing with CMC and Kittle, players Trey has never got to play with.

I want whoever the best qb is going to be LONG TERM. If that is Brock I'm 💯 down with him but we don't know who that qb is since there is not enough data points on the #3 overall pick. If Trey was playing like Zach Wilson for 22 games and Brock came in and lit it up like he did I'd be 💯 with Brock right now. The situation w Trey is totally different since he has only started essentially 2 games.

Fact is Brock was contained against the only elite D he faced in the playoffs and sadly we didn't get to see if he would show the same explosive play from the regular season and the Seattle playoff game when he played Philly, another elite D. If he put up 30 vs Philly then my concerns about the Dallas game where he was not allowed to be Fran Tarkenton by the Cowboys fast D and only put up 19 points would have been alleviated.

Anyways, Brock is so much better than Jimmy and I'm super grateful he illuminated to all the Jimmy fans that it was Jimmy all along who was holding the offense back, something that was so obvious to anyone with an objective mindset.

I liked Brock right away from training camp last year based in his play during the preseason against THIRD STRINGERS... thought how he played... very decisive and accurate.. would translate to playing first stringers also. I was right.

Yes....the team does.

But Trey doesn't have alot more in-game experience than what we've been able to watch. Cause it just doesn't exist.

I don't mind it. He has to start somewhere. But using last week numbers to prove a point Is funny though because anyone that watched the film knows it's not really reflective of his play lol this week he played well and should be commended for that. IDC if it's scrubs. All I've been asking for is for him to show us something to continue the faith. He delivered last night.

Yeah, that's what I said. You hoped he would remain unhealthy so that your preferred QB can play. Not necessarily what's best for the team but what was best for your preferred QB. I'm sure if Kyle felt Lance was the better option he would start him. We don't have to hope for Brock to be unhealthy for that.

You probably cant change a narrative destroying a bunch of dudes who will be selling insurance a few weeks from now.

Yeah Trey balled out late in the 4th QTR of a preseason game, that is what he was suppose to do.

Trey has no laurels to rest on, dude needs to get back in the film room working towards next week....and I am sure he is.

He was also throwing to similar caliber guys. It's not like he was throwing to Kittle and CMC while going against insurance agents.

Regardless - the video was inaccurate and looked like it was made by one of the Lance haters here.

If balls were dropped you would have a point....

If guys were not getting open....you would have a point....

Guys were open, guys caught the ball, guys got massive YAC....

I think it Is also really safe to say the two primary dudes that Trey was throwing to, are in fact going to be in the NFL a month from now.

Trey did good, Trey should have done well....he should have been the most talented dude on the field. seldom do we get to see top 3 picks in their 3rd season waylay insurance salesmen. It was good times.

It was likely the best 8 throw string of Trey Lances NFL career....but dont expect throws in that situation to turn around the narrative on Trey.... Trey needs work, he knows that.... I would bet he hits the field Monday morning with the same eagerness to prove himself that he did last Monday. I highly doubt he sees that as some sort of statement moment that you appear to.

The only way Trey can silence his critics is to live up to expectations. The expectation for the number 3 pick in the draft is franchise QB. The expectation is a multi pro-bowl filled career with deep playoff runs.

Can see you see how far away 8 throws in the preseason against a mix of dudes who will not be in the NFL next month is from the expectations?

As far as I'm concerned, neither has proven they can or can't play. It's just too small of a sample size. If Brock plays like he did last year for an entire year and then does it again in 2024 then I'll feel like we have a real solid QB. Seven games isn't enough to convince me. Same for Trey. Until I've seen enough to know for sure that he can't play in the NFL I'll just wait and see.

I've seen this picture too many times to jump on a band wagon only to get let down. It's been a long time since we've had a QB that's played well 2 or more seasons in a row or even stayed healthy 2 straight seasons.

There's no "Purdy vs Trey" argument.

Brock is QB1 and he'll probably be our FQB.

Trey is only fighting to secure QB2.

Nice projection after 7 starts. We still don't know if he can repeat what he did last year and again the following year. We don't know if he can stay healthy. Those are requirements for a franchise QB. He doesn't have some of the skills that a true franchise QB possesses but he has the mental part down. Let's see if he can keep on overcoming his lack of speed and arm strength. If you look at him objectively he is very similar to JG in physical skills. Even if Jimmy had stayed healthy he wasn't considered a franchise QB. Almost everyone looked at him as somewhere between 12 and 15. Some had him between 15-20. That doesn't mean the team can't win. They just need to keep a lot of good talent around him because he's not going to take over a game with his physical tools. Have a strong defense that will keep the scoring down and they'll always have a chance.

We've been ove rand ove rLance's issues. It really comes down to experience or lack of it. There's no question about his physical skills but his limitations show u in live action. He looked better last night but he still has a long way to go.

The Purdy vs Trey argument will happen if Brock falters thus season or next season and Trey shows improvement. Right now there isn't an argument about which one should start but the team always needs to be looking 2,3 or 4 years down the road.

^ this drives me nuts. People discrediting Purdy because a half season of being one of the best QBs in the NFL, and by some measures the best QB in the NFL, isn't enough, meanwhile Trey gets excuses because he hasn't played enough. Just go with what what your eyes and the results are showing you. So far, Purdy has delivered incredibly, fantastically beyond the expectation of 32 GMs in the league, and so far, Trey has been disappointing, probably below what all 32 GMs were expecting - especially in a KS offense. Things can change, but we should not be making excuses for winners and we should not be making excuses for losers. Our QBs are what their stats say they are. With the exception of Trey's "fake" TD last week, lol.

While I fully agree that Purdy is the better talent atm and it's not even questionable Purdy gets passes for missing TD's while Trey get's called fake TD's.

Dude, take a statistics class. When you extract a sample from the Population (capital P), it does not represent the Population. I can play the exact same game with Tom Brady if you want me to, cherry picking a suboptimal play and then extrapolating that he's the worst of all time. Or you can successfully run a candy store and then extrapolate that you can therefore run all of Walmart. It just doesn't work that way.

First off, the play above was almost a TD and was not that bad of a play. Second, if you look at the body of Purdy's work, both in college and the NFL, he's a rock star so far, and the best predictor of future performance is past performance. All things considered, Purdy kicked ass in yesterday's game.

Dude talking about statistics classes and says Trey has disappointed with only 3 f**king nonconsevutive starts in his career. Sample size is far too low to come to any conclusions on Trey Lance whether good or bad.

Brock played great last year, was contained vs Dallas, and sadly we didn't get to see how he'd fare against another elite defense in the NFC title game. I wanted to see if he would be contained yet again like the Cowboys d was able to do or if he got back to his prior norm of putting up 30 a game. We needed that data point on him as getting to and winning the title game and just getting to the SB means nothing. Only winning the SB matters so we need to know whether Brock is the type of guy w the physocal tools and upside who can actually beat Mahomes in a SB and not be able to be contained no matter how good the defense.

Put bluntly, 3 career NFL starts is not even close to enough sample size to make judgments on his play being disappointing - I think his play has been pretty damn good for being so crazy raw out of college and essentially only 2 starts in typical conditions. If he gets reps he will ultimately be better than Brock imo due to his physical tools that Brock just doesn't have. There's a reason Trey was drafted #3 and Brock #250. Brock is a system qb who fits great into our system. Is Brock the next Tom Brady that can win SBs as a late round draft pick? He betting f**king well be if we're going to prevent Trey a top 3 draft pick w superior physical tools at his disposal from getting the one thing he needs which is game experience.

Purdy ran the offense in yesterday's game and made one top level throw. It was nothing to write home about other than he looks ready to play Week 1 and make the actual tough throws he made last year. But let's not pretend he did anything special on that drive w two one yard screens giving most of the yardage on the drive. Brock did do special things last year so let's reserve the he kicked ass comments for play that deserves it.

You have a lot of guts writing off Brock's performance to him being a system QB. All other GMs in the league wish they drafted him. They are also all damn glad they didn't draft Lance.

Can't give Purdy his props for all that he accomplished last season, but then demands that everyone to praise Lance, when he hasn't showed even half of what Purdy did last year. Crazy lol

I give Purdy tons of props for what he was able to do last season. He played amazing and showcased how Jimmy held us back. He put up 30 a game which is stellar play.

Doesn't mean he's the best long term qb for the 49ers, but it also doesn't mean he isn't the best long term qb for the 49ers.

It's hard to know without more data points from esp Trey the #3 overall pick in the draft and the qb drafted specifically to get us over the hump in the SB vs qbs like Mahomes and Burrow etc.

Maybe Brock will be able to beat Mahomes head to head in a SB - he better as if he is taking Trey Lance's place as QB1 and handed the reigns - it's winning the SB or bust. But until either Trey or Brock get #6 for us then I won't be sold on either of them as THE guy long term.

Never a good thing when a former NFL quarterback says that some of Lance's throws are close to "disqualifying" him from playing for an NFL team.

But Lance did show some improvement, and I hope it carries over to the next game. I want to see him succeed.

This is what I mean when I say "Dr Jekyl & Mr Hyde". Trey had some god awful plays. That makes you wonder what the hell was he thinking, some where so bad they couldn't even be picked.

then he has some excellent plays. Great anticipation, placement, timing. All the good stuff. This all happened within one quarter of play. Lol it's wild.

overall, I think Trey had a solid game. It's hard to say it was a great game for me when a good chunk of his plays are really bad, but ultimately he came through when he was needed and I think that's awesome.

regarding QB2/3, I think because he's so sporadic and darnold has shown more consistency (also just experience - good or bad), darnold will be the QB2, but Trey still has a chance.

with that said, just cause darnold takes it early in the season, doesn't mean Trey can't take it back as the season goes on. I don't view it as "whoever wins it now, has it all season".

it was cool to see Lance grow during the game though. Made some really nice plays, it was really fun to see. Long way to go but they're steps in the right direction and that's what we like to see. Kudos for that very fun game winning drive. Might of been the funnest pre season game I've ever seen.

The bold is a good point, agree with this too.

Trey's first drive had me losing my effing mind. I was about to give up on a turnaround, and then all of a sudden he got locked in and was throwing dimes on the sideline and down the middle into tight coverage, making plays on the run, dodging rushers, and drilling hot routes with free blitzers in his face.

He put together some terrific plays despite being hindered by penalties and drops from his teammates but the start was indeed ugly.

I think consistency comes with experience and he just doesn't have that yet. I gotta lean towards Sam at this point too, especially if he has the offense down by the regular season.
The Trey haters in the media "We are going to pretend the last 2 drives never happened"

Must be nice to be able to just pick and choose and or ignore the plays you want to fit your narative. If there was ever a doubt that a certain group have a personal bias against Trey, There is no doubt anymore. There was 3 things that I figured were going to happen after this performance.

1.The critics were going to stay completely silent and not comment on the perfomance at all. And this did happen with a few.
2.People will make excuses as to why he had some success. This happened alot. Mostly among this board.
3.People will still find a way to say he was awful. And just pick and choose the negative plays and ignore the really good. This also happened.

This is the same guy that hoped Brock would remain hurt until at least week 6 so that Lance can get reps. I'm sure he was happy too see Brock return waaay ahead of a schedule.

I wanted to see Lance play a handful of consecutive games and vs Dallas Week 5 Sunday night football and see if Trey would put up more than 19 points on the Cowboys and compare the two QBs.

Wished nothing but Brock returning to 💯 percent and experiencing no ill effects from his injury - just preferred it by Week 6 to get more data points on our blue chip #3 overall draft pick selected because Jimmy wasn't good enough before we handed over the reigns to the the last pick in the draft who happened to play at a top level for seven games. Makes no difference when I wanted Brock healthy because I wanted him back at 100 percent. Now if I wanted Brock to never be the same qb again because of his injury and never fully recover from it then yeah that would be an opinion worthy of condemnation. Brock being 💯 Week 1 or Week 6 is still the same thing... as he is still 💯

The only thing dumber than trading all those 1st round picks for a bust is trading him before you know what you have or don't have in the player and then he goes somewhere else and lights up the league and becomes a top 5 qb. The only way to know what we have is more data points, hence Brock coming back Week 6 at 100 percent would enable that.

Like I said, you hoped he would remain unhealthy until week 6 so that Lance could get reps. You just said the same exact thing. I never said you wanted him to stay hurt for the rest of his career.

Brock was going to be week 1 starter so best way for Lance to get on the field is for Brock to not be healthy, therefore you hoped he would take longer so that your preferred QB can play.

Yes I hoped he would take longer so my preferred qb for the LONG TERM success of the team could play

Yeah, that's what I said. You hoped he would remain unhealthy so that your preferred QB can play. Not necessarily what's best for the team but what was best for your preferred QB. I'm sure if Kyle felt Lance was the better option he would start him. We don't have to hope for Brock to be unhealthy for that.

Wbo says I didn't think it was best for the team?

I did think that.

I think it is best for THE TEAM to find out who they have in Trey Lance before they make decisions to trade him.

I believe would still have won games w Trey starting the first five and go 3-2 or 4-1 with that schedule- and if he was really looking mediocre (even during wins) then we could just go w Brock the rest of the year and have a little more data to go on about Trey's ability and a more informed projection of upside.

We have a good idea of what Brock is albeit with a very small sample size of his own - we have no idea what Trey is or is not. I think it is better for THE TEAM long term to have a good idea of what Trey is before committing to another qb long term.

Let's see if he can keep on overcoming his lack of speed and arm strength. If you look at him objectively he is very similar to JG in physical skills. Even if Jimmy had stayed healthy he wasn't considered a franchise QB. Almost everyone looked at him as somewhere between 12 and 15. Some had him between 15-20. That doesn't mean the team can't win. They just need to keep a lot of good talent around him because he's not going to take over a game with his physical tools. Have a strong defense that will keep the scoring down and they'll always have a chance.

We've been ove rand ove rLance's issues. It really comes down to experience or lack of it. There's no question about his physical skills but his limitations show u in live action. He looked better last night but he still has a long way to go.

The Purdy vs Trey argument will happen if Brock falters thus season or next season and Trey shows improvement. Right now there isn't an argument about which one should start but the team always needs to be looking 2,3 or 4 years down the road.

^ this drives me nuts. People discrediting Purdy because a half season of being one of the best QBs in the NFL, and by some measures the best QB in the NFL, isn't enough, meanwhile Trey gets excuses because he hasn't played enough. Just go with what what your eyes and the results are showing you. So far, Purdy has delivered incredibly, fantastically beyond the expectation of 32 GMs in the league, and so far, Trey has been disappointing, probably below what all 32 GMs were expecting - especially in a KS offense. Things can change, but we should not be making excuses for winners and we should not be making excuses for losers. Our QBs are what their stats say they are. With the exception of Trey's "fake" TD last week, lol.

While I fully agree that Purdy is the better talent atm and it's not even questionable Purdy gets passes for missing TD's while Trey get's called fake TD's.

Dude, take a statistics class. When you extract a sample from the Population (capital P), it does not represent the Population. I can play the exact same game with Tom Brady if you want me to, cherry picking a suboptimal play and then extrapolating that he's the worst of all time. Or you can successfully run a candy store and then extrapolate that you can therefore run all of Walmart. It just doesn't work that way.

First off, the play above was almost a TD and was not that bad of a play. Second, if you look at the body of Purdy's work, both in college and the NFL, he's a rock star so far, and the best predictor of future performance is past performance. All things considered, Purdy kicked ass in yesterday's game.

Dude talking about statistics classes and says Trey has disappointed with only 3 f**king nonconsevutive starts in his career. Sample size is far too low to come to any conclusions on Trey Lance whether good or bad.

Brock played great last year, was contained vs Dallas, and sadly we didn't get to see how he'd fare against another elite defense in the NFC title game. I wanted to see if he would be contained yet again like the Cowboys d was able to do or if he got back to his prior norm of putting up 30 a game. We needed that data point on him as getting to and winning the title game and just getting to the SB means nothing. Only winning the SB matters so we need to know whether Brock is the type of guy w the physocal tools and upside who can actually beat Mahomes in a SB and not be able to be contained no matter how good the defense.

Put bluntly, 3 career NFL starts is not even close to enough sample size to make judgments on his play being disappointing - I think his play has been pretty damn good for being so crazy raw out of college and essentially only 2 starts in typical conditions. If he gets reps he will ultimately be better than Brock imo due to his physical tools that Brock just doesn't have. There's a reason Trey was drafted #3 and Brock #250. Brock is a system qb who fits great into our system. Is Brock the next Tom Brady that can win SBs as a late round draft pick? He betting f**king well be if we're going to prevent Trey a top 3 draft pick w superior physical tools at his disposal from getting the one thing he needs which is game experience.

Purdy ran the offense in yesterday's game and made one top level throw. It was nothing to write home about other than he looks ready to play Week 1 and make the actual tough throws he made last year. But let's not pretend he did anything special on that drive w two one yard screens giving most of the yardage on the drive. Brock did do special things last year so let's reserve the he kicked ass comments for play that deserves it.

You have a lot of guts writing off Brock's performance to him being a system QB. All other GMs in the league wish they drafted him. They are also all damn glad they didn't draft Lance.

Can't give Purdy his props for all that he accomplished last season, but then demands that everyone to praise Lance, when he hasn't showed even half of what Purdy did last year. Crazy lol

I give Purdy tons of props for what he was able to do last season. He played amazing and showcased how Jimmy held us back. He put up 30 a game which is stellar play.

Doesn't mean he's the best long term qb for the 49ers, but it also doesn't mean he isn't the best long term qb for the 49ers.

It's hard to know without more data points from esp Trey the #3 overall pick in the draft and the qb drafted specifically to get us over the hump in the SB vs qbs like Mahomes and Burrow etc.

Maybe Brock will be able to beat Mahomes head to head in a SB - he better as if he is taking Trey Lance's place as QB1 and handed the reigns - it's winning the SB or bust. But until either Trey or Brock get #6 for us then I won't be sold on either of them as THE guy long term.

Sound like you wouldn't be happy with Burrow, Herbert, Allen, etc as QB either because they haven't got it done.

It's as if you need a whole team to be on point and some lucky breaks to get it done. I'm guessing if Lance ever plays he'll need to get a SB his first time playing or else we'll need to keep looking right? Or does that only apply to Brock?

first of all, Lance needs to stack some good play to overtake Brock. Or for Brock to get injured (I'm sure you wouldn't mind this one lol) until to then he'll have to wait his turn. Then when he does get that turn needs to make the most of it like Brock. He's not going to get handed the job like last year anymore. He'll have to earn it with his play. So you need to learn to deal with it.

This is the same guy that hoped Brock would remain hurt until at least week 6 so that Lance can get reps. I'm sure he was happy too see Brock return waaay ahead of a schedule.

I wanted to see Lance play a handful of consecutive games and vs Dallas Week 5 Sunday night football and see if Trey would put up more than 19 points on the Cowboys and compare the two QBs.

Wished nothing but Brock returning to 💯 percent and experiencing no ill effects from his injury - just preferred it by Week 6 to get more data points on our blue chip #3 overall draft pick selected because Jimmy wasn't good enough before we handed over the reigns to the the last pick in the draft who happened to play at a top level for seven games. Makes no difference when I wanted Brock healthy because I wanted him back at 100 percent. Now if I wanted Brock to never be the same qb again because of his injury and never fully recover from it then yeah that would be an opinion worthy of condemnation. Brock being 💯 Week 1 or Week 6 is still the same thing... as he is still 💯

The only thing dumber than trading all those 1st round picks for a bust is trading him before you know what you have or don't have in the player and then he goes somewhere else and lights up the league and becomes a top 5 qb. The only way to know what we have is more data points, hence Brock coming back Week 6 at 100 percent would enable that.

Like I said, you hoped he would remain unhealthy until week 6 so that Lance could get reps. You just said the same exact thing. I never said you wanted him to stay hurt for the rest of his career.

Brock was going to be week 1 starter so best way for Lance to get on the field is for Brock to not be healthy, therefore you hoped he would take longer so that your preferred QB can play.

Yes I hoped he would take longer so my preferred qb for the LONG TERM success of the team could play

Yeah, that's what I said. You hoped he would remain unhealthy so that your preferred QB can play. Not necessarily what's best for the team but what was best for your preferred QB. I'm sure if Kyle felt Lance was the better option he would start him. We don't have to hope for Brock to be unhealthy for that.

Wbo says I didn't think it was best for the team?

I did think that.

I think it is best for THE TEAM to find out who they have in Trey Lance before they make decisions to trade him.

I believe would still have won games w Trey starting the first five and go 3-2 or 4-1 with that schedule- and if he was really looking mediocre (even during wins) then we could just go w Brock the rest of the year and have a little more data to go on about Trey's ability and a more informed projection of upside.

We have a good idea of what Brock is albeit with a very small sample size of his own - we have no idea what Trey is or is not. I think it is better for THE TEAM long term to have a good idea of what Trey is before committing to another qb long term.

And to you that's not good enough, right? That's why you want the team to continue looking, even though all the film, statistics, and Kyles opinion disagree with that opinion. Okay…
