Wasn't Trey the starter to begin with? Shouldn't the same ring true for him?

And yes if Trey plays well, Kyle is going to say sorry we are going to start the guy we took with the last pick in the draft over the guy we traded 3 1st RD picks to draft at 3 lol.

Purdy will come back strong and vicious. He's a crazy competitor and he isn't going to roll over. I'm super curious to see how lance performs with him knowing Purdy will only be a game or two away from being able to be the starter again.

Lance will be under a microscope and a short leash because Kyle knows what he'll get from Purdy (given rehab goes well). I think Kyle and Purdy have a unique chemistry/alignment mentally regarding the game, and that's what will give him the starting job back unless Lance balls.

Even if Trey balls, the ultimate baller and Shanny's alter ego, also known as the Brock Party will be the starter once he's ready to go. Sorry, Trey - just be a good mentor for him and be ready incase an injury happens.

Lol this is so stupid. If what you say happens of course Trey will remain the starter. Why in the hell would you think we would bench Trey if he's playing at a very high level? Makes absolutely zero sense.

Brock is a better quarterback. So there's that.

As of now he is, but he's injured. Trey can look good to start the year. He can even be better. He can also look bad.

We won't know for a while

LOL, you can't convince these guys any more than they can convince Kyle.

Unsure on how anyone can argue this.

We don't know how well Trey can process. He's still raw in the game experience sense. Brock benefited from a lot of college game experience, and frankly was a bit of a unicorn for a rookie QB starting his career. People need to be patient with Trey. He has a lot of tools, and I think when the game slows down for him, we may see a really good QB.

You've demonstrated a clear agenda and your mind has been made up since he was the pick. I'd advise to exercise patience and withhold judgement, but you probably can't conceive of your own bias.

Regardless of any agenda, it is clear as day Brock fits this system better. There is no debating that. You guys are saying, and rightfully so, that he needs to develop. Te things he needs to develop are the things that would make him a fit for Kyle's system. His development would have to be impeccable.

Again, the conversation was fitting this system. I just can't see a path where Trey has this offense looking the way Brock had it look this past season. There just isn't one. The best he could do is have it look as good. Even then, he would have to make up 3 seasons of the experience you guys keep saying he's behind in a very short period of time. Not sure where you guys think he'll make that time up.

Like krizay said, Trey needs time to develop, maybe a year or two. Brock is ready now, we have a window with Kittle, Deebo and CMC to win a Super Bowl or two. There's no time to waste on a Qb that's not ready to go yet.

Because you can't lose your job to injury, and I mean Brock's injury not Trey's.

Ummm....if you just use the niners as an example Joe lost it to Young basically bc of injury. And Smith to Kap.

There's hundreds of examples of this, at every position. Mayo, just stop... log off for the night lol.

Alright, I'll just say that Shanny is going to insurt Brock once he's ready to go. Purdy is Shanny's guy, no matter what Trey can possibly do.

You mean that Brock is your guy no matter what Trey does. What you are doing is called projecting.

We know what Trey can do. He's got a good arm, but not very accurate. He can run but not a burner. Brock has it all over him, he's very accurate, has great anticipation on his passes, and has got some wheels.

Yes. That is what you believe. But you were still projecting your feelings for Brock onto Shanny. I am fine with whatever Shanny ultimately decides. But I won't dare try to speak for him.

I think we all know what Shanahan thinks of Brock. He constantly heaped praise on him during his run. He's rehabbing now, but when he's ready to go, Trey or Dornald or whoever is starting the season will make way for him.

Of course he was. Why wouldn't he praise Brock. He was playing out of his mind for a long stretch there. You have no idea what Shanny thinks of Trey at this point or what he thinks of his QB situation.

I bet Shanny has a lot of respect for Trey. He is intelligent, humble and a natural leader. It says a lot about Trey and the kind of player and team mate he is when he was looking for work assignments during his recovery and helping Brock prepare. The way he takes responsibility for himself. One thing we know about Trey is how he responds to adversity.The way he carries himself when things are tough.

What we don't know about Purdy is how he responds when things get tough for him? When teams start taking away the things he does well? No one has that answer. Fans are so absolute about Brock and his future. But he has his limitations and he has his weaknesses and DC's will find chinks in his armor.

We know Trey's floor but we don't know his ceiling. We know Brock's ceiling but we don't know his floor.

Brock is the perfect Qb for Shanny's system. Trey is more of a homerun hitter, with his strong arm. But, he's not accurate like Brock and he doesn't process like Brock. Trey is trying to adjust his game, but Brock is ready to go. Brock is just a better fit for this system.

Jimmy was perfect for Shanny's system also with his quick release, accuracy and decisiveness. But Jimmy had his weaknesses and the better defenses in the league would take away his strengths and force him into mistakes. Brock has weaknesses also. When defenses start taking away his strengths, can he over come his weaknesses?

What's his weeknesses, he's got it all.

He is a bit of a risk taker and sometimes takes uneccessary hits. He is lectutant to step up into a clean pocket. He tends to drift backwards when pressured. He tends to move left out of the pocket. He sometimes feels pressure when its not there and leaves the pocket prematuraly. He sometimes doesn't see linebackers sitting in the middle of the field. His deep ball accuracy is inconsistent and really started to fall off going into the playoffs. His accuracy in general to his right was far worse than when throwing to his left. Especially when throwing to the right from the pocket to outside the numbers.

Sounds like more like Trey to me. All those things you mentioned he's corrected on his run. I think your being a bit cynical.

And you are being a bit hyperbolic. You tried to tell me he had no weaknesses. I pointed out a handful of tendencies that could keep him from maintaining the level of success he was having. I can name about half or more of those things that were still showing up in the playoffs. He scored no TD's in the Dallas game and had 2 TWP's. That throw and acrobatic catch by Kittle was an amazing play by Kittle but a poor ass throw by Brock and was a split second away from getting him killed. He was late and behind Aiyuk on the that deep pass near the goal line which forced Aiyuk to play DB and knock the ball down.

I am not trying to tear Brock down. He played great for a good stretch. I like the good and it has outweighed the bad so far. But to act like he has nothing to work on and has no weaknesses is hyperbolic and silly. Especially coming off a major injury to his throwing elbow that needed surgery and a 6 month rehab. I honestly think some of you guys are just afraid that Trey may actually come out looking great and Brock won't get another chance.

Now your being nick pickie. Those were amazing throws of improvisation, maybe he was a little out front to Kittle, but he was under diress and he made something happen. On the Aiyuk throw, so he had to reach back for it, but Aiyuk had beaten his man and the corner no where near the pass. If all goes well with that elbow he should not miss a beat.

You have done nothing but project, deny and be hyperbolic. If you are incapable of being objective, it might be best to just put you on ignore with the rest of which are the same way.

Yeah, I don't agree with the injury thing - see Brady.

but I do agree that he has done more than enough to get the position back when he's healthy. I think Lance will have to play exceptional to keep QB1 - not just win. We should still win with him, it'll be really important how he plays overall though.

Fair enough, we'll see how it plays out. I'm glad we got Trey, he's insurance incase something happens with Brock's arm or he can sustain he's play. It's not too late for Trey, but alot has to go wrong with Purdy for him to claim the starter job again. Let's agree to disagree for now. It's going to be fasination to see it unfold.

Purdy was exceptional last season. It's still mind blowing how well he played and how smooth he was.

i don't say that as a knock on lance. You don't bench a player when he comes back when he's shown nothing but "special play", in my opinion. I personally wouldn't continue to start Trey once Purdy is healthy unless Lance is playing out of his mind (like Purdy did when he got his chance). Then it becomes a different story. Essentially, if Lance isn't playing better than Purdy was last year, I'd be surprised if he continues to start once Purdy comes back. That's the only way I can see him holding onto it.

that doesn't mean I think Lance is a bad qb or won't have a solid nfl career. It's more so just bad luck for Trey. Either way, I'm happy we have both of them on our roster cause this team can use all the damn depth possible for QB. If I'm not mistaken, kyles only had one season here where he didn't lose QB1.

Mayo - do you know if mullens had any issue with his elbow once he came back? I really don't know cause I don't follow him. My only concern for Brock is if the elbow would be more susceptible to injury - I hope not.
i l love me some dirty mcpurdy!

Mullens had no problems after his surgery along with a lot of major league pitchers who came back even stronger, with even more zip on their balls. His elbow has been damaged, but medicine is markable now, able to rebuild and make the organ even stronger. Let's hope it plays out that way for Brock too.
