If Lance really wanted to ensure his career in the NFL he should have stayed in college longer. He clearly didnt have enough game time experience. He then gets draft by a team that is win now and is very unhappy with their existing QB situation, that being JG, thus allocating only a year to develop.
The NFL does not have the patience for a guy like TL. Maybe if you are a 1-15 team rebuilding and expectations are zero for 3 years. I am not so sure most teams are willing the develop such a raw talent at a high profile and impactful position such as QB.
Then why did the 9ers Insist on drafting Jim to begin with, knowing It was gonna take much patience and development for Lance to reach his full potential, something that could only be achieved by actually playing? It feels like the front office because too desperate In trying to find a replacement for the often Injured JG.
