Difference is, the 49ers were trying to move on from Jimmy G. and were willing to take their bumps and bruises with him as the starter. Fast forward a season later after Brock Purdy showed you can get all the way up to the NFCC with him and Lance coming back from injury, competition was the smart move for the #2 position. Signing Darnold who didn't know the playbook to compete with Lance was suppose to bring out the best in Lance, in the end it only showed that Lance couldn't handle the pressure. And once the decision was made, got all emotional left practice and wanted off the team, why would anyone want that as their starting QB!!!

.. again, that's a given.. that's why we gave away the farm to draft Darnold.. but think about it, what happens to a LOADED TEAM (per JTs' post) when you give the starting job to a very raw young QB who only started or played ONE season at ND STATE..

.. common sense will say that it will be a negative result 95% of the time... but this move was done because of TRUST as well, and Shanny gave that trust to Lance w/o earning it...

.. and this is the same reason why the trade is being questioned as to why we gave up on the kid too soon.. ..

AGAIN, Shanny has NOW gone ALL IN on Purdy and Purdy best be THE NEXT !!



.. while Darnold should be the next STEVE YOUNG..

Before the keys were handed over to Lance, there was no Brock Purdy hype train, now there is and that's why the trade makes sense. Think about it though, did the 9ers really give up on Lance too soon or did Lance give up on the 9ers too soon?? Tell me, who got all emotional left practice and asked for a trade??

like I initially posted... SHANNY best be correct about PURDY and DARNOLD. . or he GONE !!

Lol we would have to look like the tomsula team to even consider going away from Shan

Unless he wins a Super Bowl you gotta tie Shanahan's future to the QB situation. As an offense minded coach with power over draft and personel his only excuse for not finding a franchise QB in 7 seasons would be winning the trophy and proving that he doesn't need one.

Shanahan originally tied his future to the Lance trade save a SB win then lucked into Purdy. Now he's at the point where it's either Purdy plays worthy of 3 1st round picks, Super Bowl or bust (and you could very well argue that with Purdy playing at franchise QB level he has at the most next season to win a trophy). Unless, of course, you're content with being the Bills.

Finding a franchise QB is extremely difficult and almost never comes as a result of the coach. Coaches that keep their jobs 7 + seasons either lucked into a FQB or found ways to win without one. How many examples can you give of a coach being personally responsible for the acquisition of a FQB?

Andy Reid got McNabb the same year he became coach of the eagles. He also got mahommes for the chiefs.

No. 3, DE Solomon Thomas, 49ers. Yup. That was our pick. We had mahommes available and passed. Difference between good player evaluation and good decision making is the same difference between champions and us. Kyle vs. Reid. Nuff said.

Exactly!!!!

So what Lynch and Shanahan missed on Trey Lance, it would be a HUGE miss on Jed York to fire Shanahan any time soon.

Reid was in the 49ers position in 21 (need an upgrade at QB), we were in a complete rebuild in 2017 and Mahomes wasn't even close to being considered as the best player in the draft or he would have went number 1

He was by Reid. That's why they traded up to get him.

It wasn't Reid who found Mahomes, it was Brett Veach. Veach was responsible for selling Andy and then selling GM John Dorsey and it was Dorsey who made the trade up the draft board on draft day.

Ok. But Shanahan wouldn't even evaluate mahommes per lynch.

They needed a QB, mahomes was just the next best prospect left

If we would have hit on Lance, we would like geniuses also. But all QB picks are not for sure picks
