I wonder what makes these QBs "looking like" these other QBs.

What could it be?
Jimmy has regressed, so the original poster has somewhat of a point.
Nope. Beathard and Mullens are 3rd stringers. Lance can make plays without being good at reading defenses. Jimmy is Jimmy, an average QB who can make crunch time plays occasionally.
This has to be one of the all-time worst posts I've seen on these boards, and that's saying a lot.
The backup QB is ALWAYS only get a limited number of reps. Because he's the BACKUP.

Lances throws were generally off and rockets with zero touch. He was looking at the rush, scrambling before there was actual pressure.

Again, to be expected since he's a ROOKIE.

But if he's so talented, worthy of 3 first round picks, why did he look so much WORSE than Mullens first start against the Raiders in 2018? Mullens was an USFA, so he's not nearly as talented as Trey, right?

TO BE CLEAR: I am NOT anti-Trey. I want him to succeed. He's just an immense work in progress and a bad choice as your main backup.

Jimmy, Mullens, Beathard > Jimmy, Lance, Sudfeld... FOR 2021!

Experience matters, especially in Shannahan's offense. And as for experience/attempts:

Mullens: 600 (all with SF)
Beathard: 497 (all with SF)

Lance: 318 (all in college)
Sudfeld: 37 (all with Philly)

Mullens and Beathard were DECENT backups. And that's all that NFL teams really have, a decent backup. Sudfeld SUCKS and Lance isn't close to ready...because he's a ROOKIE who played VERY LITTLE football in college.

NOTE: I am NOT disputing that Lance is the future. But he is a downgrade, IN 2021 as a backup QB for SF.

When Mullens was released by Philly, he should've been signed to the practice squad. I mean, he'd be a DECENT backup option with 16 STARTS in this offense.

I would actually feel better with Mullens (or Beathard) starting next week and sprinkling Lance in, if Jimmy is still hurt.

Because, again, Sudfeld SUCKS and Lance isn't close to ready. Because he's a ROOKIE.

This is a great point. i was just thinking this. We were supposed to be super bowl ready because we had the best qb depth in the league. But it turned out that our premier draft pick cant throw a 10 yard pass without breaking fingers. Or read a pro set. SO what do we do? We DONT go get a 2nd string in FA or bring up sudfeld to the 53. Come on.

Not gonna happen. You ruin his confidence. You need to believe in him even if he makes mistakes
Disagree.

Packers deactivated Jordan Love for the entire season last year.

if you're not ready, you're not ready. I don't care where you were drafted.
You are on crack if you think the past qb room was better. CJ and Mullens are career back ups and they will be paid very well for being back ups. Both had their chance to shine as starters and that ended their chances to be more than a back up. Trey Lance will be fine, and Jimmy G is great when healthy, unfortunately he cannot make it past game 4 every year
