Agreed. All he's done is work to get better, at least as far as we can see.

Hello Titans pick up pick up pick up…pick up the damn phone!!

Throwing 3 firsts out of the window and giving up on the player without ever seeing him in a rythm of games. Wow

Yea id name him QB2 just to save a little face. It's not like Sam is that much better than Trey. Give him the chance (if Purdy sucks or gets hurt) to get on the field and prove that he sucks...or maybe good. This is terrible

Yet everyone who has been to camp said Trey has outplayed Darnold. Kyle giving up on a guy he traded 3 1st RD picks for without even giving him a chance and doing it for Sam Darnold of all QB's in next level insanity. And just plain stupidity.

An overwhelming majority of people "Trey Fan Club" are simply saying its too early to make definitive statements about his future. I mean seriously. Who are you fighting with? Trey doesnt have a cult fanbase on this board. Most people just want him to be given a chance before he is labeled.

Here is a definitive future statement, his contract is up after next season. He will enter his year 3 as a backup. I think that alone, that he's in year 3 of 4, and we invested 3 ones for a backup, means this is a bust.

And I think its beyond stupid to label anyone a bust before they have had an opportunity to prove it one way or the other.

3 years is the opportunity. You either play your way on the field or you don't.

So Aaron Rodgers was a bust in Green Bay? He didnt get on the field in his first 3 years.

You can't play you way on the field if ONE the coach was playing his QB1 no matter what YR1 and TWO if you're hurt. Both of which happened to Lance.

People will say what they want because of narratives, but to think he got a fair shake is absurd. He needs to go to a team that will give him an opportunity to play.

Hopefully this coaching staff/GM don't draft a QB high again because they clearly can't deal with the developmental process that happens with these young QBs and IMO they don't know how to draft a QB.

Hopefully Brock stays healthy because no one is taking Sam serious as far as leading this team to a SB 😂 that's a joke.

Kyle said he's not naming a backup until after the 3rd preseason game. So who knows

He actually said he wouldn't announce it. I thought it was an interesting choice of words, but I also don't hang on their public comments.

Sam Darnold clearly outplayed Trey, so this is not a surprising new at all. Not sure why many people in this forum refusing to connect all the dots.

Yet everyone who has been to camp said Trey has outplayed Darnold. Kyle giving up on a guy he traded 3 1st RD picks for without even giving him a chance and doing it for Sam Darnold of all QB's in next level insanity. And just plain stupidity. This news just completely ruined my day.

Trey was never going to be the team's starter with Brock here. The FO rather give him the chance to be a starter elsewhere if that is the case.

I don't think I agree about Brock. I think Purdy does have this ability. IDK about Sam though.

The comment is absolutely insane. It's parody level*

It's beyond stupid.

I heard Guy say he was at one point. I haven't listened the past couple pods. Whatever with TK. You got both Matt's Crocker and the plethora of 49er content creators they're watching. Plus reporters from the Raiders during joint practices.

Whatever is what it is. Hopefully Brock doesn't get hurt.

Steve Young just said "Trey will never be an elite thrower of the football" on Eisen just now

1) Please share the reasons given,....if any? Or is it just an attention grabber, given the age we live in?

2) I think we can all agree he's not going to be Steve Young, Drew Brees, or Tom Brady. (Edit: and even then, we'd just be guessing, because he's inexperienced)

But is Lamar Jackson an elite throw of the football? Was Steve McNair? Rich Gannon? Because they all have MVP trophies anyway.

I love Steve but if I'm honest with myself,...he's just a mouthpiece these days. I'll take his input right after games have been played and he's sharing what he observed.

Jerry Rice is the greatest WR ever but he's another one where I'll skip over most of his input if I'm looking for analysis.

How many people that actually know football need to say it, before it sinks in with the Trey fan club?

Taking 300 snaps since high school, playing in a mid level high school program, playing one year in college against random competition in a random conference in a non-pro style offense, then taking a year off and then declaring for the draft does not set one up for success.

He was way more raw than even the 49ers thought he would be, then he has been injury prone, and he is way behind. He does not even have the elite physical traits that many dreamed he would have, he is not accurate, not quick or elusive, he regularly gets caught by defensive lineman at the line of scrimmage. He does not have touch or accuracy, all he has is a strong arm, which means nothing in the NFL without touch and accuracy. He is never going to be elite, he may be good with lots more reps, but we have other QBs that are better and the 49ers are not a developmental league.

Time to live in reality.

An overwhelming majority of people "Trey Fan Club" are simply saying its too early to make definitive statements about his future. I mean seriously. Who are you fighting with? Trey doesnt have a cult fanbase on this board. Most people just want him to be given a chance before he is labeled.

I am disagreeing with the people that say he needs playing time or needs to be given a chance.

Does he need time or does he need reps, which is it? It has been 3 years. Prior to that, Trey did not prepare himself in college, and came in clearly more raw than the 49ers expected him to be. He has not developed as they thought, and he has been injury prone. Clearly, he has not shown the coaches what they need to see in practice. And yet, many want to see Trey as the #2 QB, which he is clearly not, and some even want him as QB1, so he can "get more reps" so we can see if he develops or not. Yet, there are many on this thread who still say that Trey "has a higher ceiling" than even Brock, if we just give the ball over to Trey to see what he can do, because Trey hasn't been given the opportunity or the chance to develop into the high ceiling, elite QB that he is deep down inside, that no one except his fans can see.

Based on what? Again, the 49ers are not a developmental league. We are a team running for the Super Bowl, and Trey's midlevel, raw talent is taking up a spot on the roster. He's been given plenty of chances, and it's time to move on for the good of both the 49ers and Trey.

No one wants this. Stop it.

There have been people on this board still advocating for him getting reps, and that will show he has a higher ceiling than Purdy how else would he get reps after preseason?
