Lance was never going to get those reps here. He's got a long ways to go in terms of the work he needs to be a consistent NFL passer and he may never get there. Either way the 49ers have a SB window open and that doesn't go with a QB needing a lot of work. He needs to go someplace where they will be patient with him and let him go through the ups and downs he's going to need to develop.
Nor is Darnold and at least try to justify the asset mgmt you have spent if Purdy does get hurt. I get it, Purdy is the guy. Fine. Let's say that things don't go as planned and he s**ts the bed. Now what? You're back to square one with no plan at the most critical position in all of sports. Again, piss poor asset mangement. Everyone keeps referring to James Wiseman situation in GS.
Difference is, you have your franchise player locked up. We don't know with Purdy. It's too small of a sample size. Let's say we start off 0-4...*knocks on wood* trading Lance now or starting Darnold would be a complete debacle of the situation.
