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....
Except its been reported that they've been trying to move all throughout the offseason. I think every party involved is just ready to move on.

Purdy really did single handedly save these guys careers and he's the equivalent of them winning the lottery.

Indeed. But it happens. The great Bill Walsh whiffed on plenty of high picks also. At least they are acknowledging the mistake and turning the page. Lance would have been a good guy to develop if he was picked mid rounds and wasn't under enormous pressure as the heir apparent. A spectacular fail by Shanahan and the front office. But at the end of the day, it's a very strong roster and they hit large on Purdy with a throw away pick. It's an inexact science for sure.
you are not comparing Walsh to ShanaLynch, dont you?
They wiffed in the most important moments. Be it at Superbowl or their handling of the draft in early rounds, topped by this trade for a raw QB they never seemed to care about

The team never received a significant trade offer.
and this thread said this was a lie, Shanny finally pulled off the pump n dump
man, I've always said his film was not good at all. Went from a top 3 pick to nearly worthless.. wtf
Even darnold was traded for a 2nd and some change.

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.

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

People would have been pissed if they had used multiple 1sts to move up for Sewell but man would that OL be looking juicy right now.

But why now? Do you think they have a deal in place? You can't really cut him, right?
Someone said that it would be a distraction if Trey was still on the team, but I feel like THIS is wayyy more of a distraction if they don't have a deal done.

They really should have just taken whatever they could get before the draft rather than put on a sham competition for QB2 that always had a predetermined outcome.

Imagine our offense with Pitts or our d line with Parsons opposite Bosa. I really thought we would take parsons before the whole trade up.

Again, what did we lose? Another Solomon Thomas or Reuben Foster? We have the best riser in the league right now, so why whine about how it came to be? Let's just enjoy it, enjoy the season and stop worrying about a backup who won't even see the field unless it's to kneel the ball.

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

I absolutely think they have a deal in place. That explains the timing and trays absence from practice.
