Especially this off-season. Maybe you guys are ok with this but I don't enjoy my favorote team being the laughing stock of the league and the butt of all jokes.

Umm, the Trey Lance trade wasn't looked at favorably before today's events my man.

Only a handful of crazy Niners fans weren't seeing it for what it was. And who cares anyway? We are a top 5 team in the NFL going on half a decade now.

When I told the story of draft day with my buddy, he started crying laughing when we traded up and selected Lance. He just kept saying "wtf are you guys doing?!". Guys on here we're like "who cares what others think". Lol but now some do?

Pretty much every fan base thought that from day 1, In my experience.

it was just niner fans being optimistic that it would work out but I always felt very uneasy about it.

You can stop with that b******t. He was last years starter until he got injured over Jimmy G.

The most common sentiment, by far, was "I wanted Justin Fields but it's not Mac Jones so I'm good!"

I really don't understand what they're doing at this point.

Just my guess, Trey felt he should have won the #2 job.. sees the writing on the wall and just wants to get on with his career (trade or release), instead of some 3rd emergency QB.

Front Office didn't expect that kind of reaction from Trey, thought he'd be a good trooper for another season. And they were just trying to get ahead of the story with their own leaks.

This isn't on Lance, its on Kyle and the FO. Dont trade a massive amount of draft capital for a franchise QB, then sign Sam freaking Darnold because you need more startable QB depth, and then trade Lance for 10 cents on the dollar. It makes no sense. The entire point of adding Darnold was so we didn't end up SOL without a QB in an important game. Now were going to be back to only having 2 guys, and the 2nd guy we chose to keep already proved he sucks over a large sample size.

I get they want to give Lance's career a chance elsewhere if he isn't going to beat out Purdy, but we paid far too much to just trade him off for cheap.

I swear, Shanahan and Lynch are just making their strategy up as they go. 🙄

3 NFCC in 4 years. It's a good strategy.

The 49ers first-round picks during the Shanalynch era: Solomon Thomas, Reuben Foster, Mike McGlinchey, Nick Bosa, Javon Kinlaw, Brandon Aiyuk, and Lance.

Two things can be true:
1) It's impressive that they've been good anyway
2) They could be a dynasty right now with better 1s!

The 49ers were done with Trey Lance the second they brought in Sam Darnold and made it an open competition for the backup job.

49ers traded 3 first round draft picks to draft Trey Lance No. 3 overall

if that wasn't bad enough, the 10 players drafted after Lance:

Kyle Pitts
Ja'Marr Chase
Jaylen Waddle
Penei Sewell
Jaycee Horn
Patrick Surtain II
DeVonta Smith
Justin Fields
Micah Parsons
Rashawn Slater https://t.co/ChFX7Hi72B

One NFL team's high-ranking front office exec, re Trey Lance's trade value: 'The price is only going in one direction' (that direction is not up)

Lol Sam darnold is going to be super criticized by part of the fan base for every little thing. watch.

Unless a team offered something decent for Lance, I really don't understand the timing of this.

For me it was always a situation, that if TL falls to QB3, his spot on the club is in major doubt. Clubs don't allow that kind of cap hit as QB3. It's just a will not compute.

Pure business decision. They will trade Trey to conserve cap space. Darnold hasn't looked any better than Trey in the pre season. In fact, Trey has been better on 3rd down and when throwing under pressure.

I think Trey will be traded for either two 3s or a conditional 2nd. Smokey, what do you think?

also, where the hell has Mayo been?

They'll be a lucky to get a 3rd or a 4th at this point.

He'll be cut

No he wont. It would be horrible cap mangament to do that.

I really wanted Fields - he was the only one that made sense at the time based on what Kyle was saying he wanted. Imagine this offense with his mobility...

Except crappy QB play prevented us from winning the SB each and every time. Not good strategy.

That actually makes more sense to me. I could see Trey being frustrated, I really don't blame him.

The share of the preseason reps was not equal in terms of snaps and unit sharing, even if the evaluation of the QB competition was....
