says we spent 3 ones on a guy who by all rights should have gone undrafted
it's one of an ever growing pile of red flags here
Go check the lance thread and see how many disagreed with this. I believe (based off memory) Afrikan was anti drafting lance… I wouldn't imagine playing lance is the point afrikan was making above
I was more against us trading up to #3... trading all those pics for a rookie QB.. like if it were for a #1 for a generational talent.. then maaaybe. I've always been more for a proven Star Vet QB, if you're going to go crazy with a trade like that.
BUT after watching clips of Lance and seeing the option of him or Fields or Mac Jones... I hoped it were Trey.
As far as my point... I know some forget the feeling at that time.. but Jimmy was really playing bad.. throwing INTs or fumbling at the worse times. And when Lance got in there and Kyle ran the ball and was calling play-action off those runs... and Trey was getting first downs and we won an important game without drama in the 4th QTR..... With the reputation that Trey got from College that he protects the ball... with THAT Jimmy G coming back from injury (and passing as if he were injuried)... I mean... I just thought Trey, even as a young rookie, gave us the best chance.... not because I super believed in Trey, but because I didn't trust Jimmy..an injured careless Jimmy G at that...and Jimmy continued to do dumb s**t and turn the ball over at the bad times in the first two playoff games... and he couldn't help put the Rams away when the defense held them for so long.
We held the Rams to only 7pts for three qtrs.... then in the forth our defense couldn't hold for any longer. We couldn't put them away on offense. And I know some like to bring up Tartt dropping that int.. but that wasn't the end of the game... Jimmy and our offense had one or two more drives to end it with a 1st down or two... but we couldn't put them away. Another good effort by the defense gone to waste.
