now with that said, I do not take any pride in questioning Trey Lance's skill as a QB at all, rival fans will no doubt use this as ammo against other Niners fans . But, and Im not just talking specifically on here, I can't help but think of all the so called Niners fans who endlessly went on and on about Trey and their unhealthy desire to see him play, especially in the 2021 season, it got so bad to the point where there were actual fans that would've rather see us lose with Trey Lance than win with Jimmy Garoppolo, and that's not an exaggeration. Say what you want about Jimmy, for whatever reason he just wasn't good enough to get us a Lombardi, but him along with Kaepernick will always be part of 49ers lore when discussing the success the organization has enjoyed throughout its history, nobody can ever say the same about Trey Lance under any circumstances. and instead of enjoying the moment, they whined in the corner that Trey Lance "would've done better". hopefully those fans go to Dallas with Trey tbh
and yes, contrary to some belief, Kyle Shanahan gave Trey Lance every opportunity to take the starting job, if Trey was as good as advertised, he would've easily won the starting job his rookie season, year 2 Shanahan gift wrapped him the starting job and had to lock Jimmy Garoppolo out the building to keep him from competing with Trey, and even then Treys backup Purdy was better than him, and this year after a full offseason healthy, he still couldn't beat out Purdy who spent most of the off-season in rehab or Sam freaking Darnold
Buckle up though boys, we will be hearing about this draft blunder as long as the nfl is in business. ESPN will likely make a documentary on this.
