I've probably been in the minority with this take as well. I never bought into the narrative that if he balls out today, he'll keep the job. Eric Davis talked about this as well saying that once they go to Trey, it signals the season is over to all veteran players, many on one year contracts. What you're saying is you are now preparing for a future, using the present to prepare for that, and many of the players won't be here for that future. They are here today and they want to win now. They don't have 6 year contracts. It also signals you're giving up on the season way early when there's still a full season to go..
I don't think it matters how he plays today. It's just film for Kyle and Trey to build on as Kyle gets him more ready for the future and learns himself, what Trey-specific plays were effective, which weren't, what he was comfortable with not, etc.
Again, once Kyle feels he can run the 85% more and be effectively consistent on 3rd downs, he'll be ready. That's unlikely at this early stage.
Huh? Eric Davis' takes are dumb half the time.
if he balls out and they win….the vets will think the season is over lol? Wtf is that? What vets are gonna be upset if they play the better player? Not one single vet signed a massive contract because Jimmy was gonna be the QB for one more yr. all these 1yr vet min deals? Who cares they would have signed elsewhere if they got offered more end of the day.
OMG stop with the 85% theory stuff. If they win games that's all that should matter. Every vet should want that…if kyle can't use Trey and his skill set to win games because he's not running this dink and dunk offense, that's on kyle.
Lol!
Yeah . . . what you said, or implied. There isn't a single veteran on a one year deal who signed on because Jimmy was going to be the QB. They're here because they got the best deal here. If anything they looked at the Niner moves pre-draft and signed on because they thought that the Niners might finally have dynamic pay at QB. With Lance they have a chance for that.
I personally feel that 4, 5 games max, given the chance, Lance gives the team as good a chance to win as the other guy and it'll be uphill from there. He has fine football instincts. With limited game experience, no game preparation or practice with the ones, he was still able to lead a long drive and produce a touchdown. With Jimmy you've plateaued and will stagnate. And you're not a serious contender. No world class WR with options is going to sign on with the Niners, because Jimmy simply doesn't give you the opportunity to highlight your skills. He's a WR destroyer. The team has to highlight the possibilities for the future to attract talent. That's important with no high draft capital for the next two years. You have the opportunity with Lance; you need to find out what you have.
It's important that Lance get reps with the #1's to build rapport. Not with the scout team. Otherwise the team is just wasting time. Wise up, Kyle. The only reason you continue with Jimmy is to hedge for your job; not for the future of the team.
