Shanny wasn't calling Lance an MVP or saying he was gonna have 40 TDs and 5,000 yards before the season started.
Lol, he was not. But he did treat him like an established QB1 right up until the end of TC, which was just as absurd from a practical standpoint.
He was trying to develop him like every damn team does with their highly invested young QB. By giving the reps and playing him. Not benching him for a full yr.
shocking a 20 yr old kid, with 300 career passing attempts (since 2019) wasn't lights out the first moment he got on the field. Kid needed to play and if they weren't gonna allow that to happen, then they f**ked up the pick. Plain and simple.
He was slated to play year 1 and start year 2….he got hurt both times and that's the bottom line
That said and injuries aside, he never grasped the offense the way Purdy did from the get go even with an additional year to do so. I do feel bad for him, seems like a solid kid. Who knows what the right situation is at this point, somewhere behind a vet I would guess.
Understanding the offense was not Trey's problem. As has been pointed out a bazillion times here, he knew the offense his rookie camp per Shanahan. The problems began with his horrid accuracy and his inexperience playing against elite talent and speed.
