How and why is this a thing? For months now, we keep reading he needs reps. The only reps that are counted are the 100 or so game reps. No one ever cites the training camp reps. So if he needs game reps to improve and he wont get any game reps until the bullets start flying. What is the likelihood of him balling out?
Or does all of a sudden Training camp counts as reps? Even then he's allegedly splitting that this off season.
I'm not too worried about Lance. I think he'll be fine. Steve Young took a while to develop. Other QBs also took a while. Jim Plunkett is another one. Point being, sometimes it takes a while for a player to develop. Trey can be one of those players. I think ShanaLynch will give him ample time to develop so long as he's making measurable progress, even if it's millimeters instead of miles. That's what three first round picks earns you in the NFL.
The QB1 positon on the other hand, is out of his current reach unless Brock doesn't come back from injury. My bet is Brock will come back 100% from the injury and his arm will possibly be even stronger with the ligament brace installed in his elbow. Brock didn't need a Tommy John surgery, so thats a big step to 100% recovering.
Yeah, some guys need a lot of time. Rodgers sat for 3 or so years and be really refined his mechanics and everything by the time he started. It happens, no doubt, but we don't have time like that with our current situation.
Lance is also kind of an anomaly in todays day and age. Very few QBs play as little as he has and also go to such small programs the way he has and get take 3rd overall anymore.
i really hope he does. If not, it'll go down in history as one of the worst situations ever for him. Reminds me of the guy bill Walsh thought would be the next great in cincy that got injured and couldn't play anymore. I can't remember his name
Well covid is once in a hundred year occurrence, so I don't think we'll see another Trey Lance draft in our lifetime. Having said that, Kyle sees something in Trey, and remember it was Kyle who kept Brock over Sudfeld. So that gives me confidence Trey can be a good QB in this league. If Mullens and Beathard are still playing in the NFL, then Trey, under Kyles coaching, should accomplish more than those two players.
Montana gave Walsh the luxury of developing Steve Young, because Montana was so good. I feel its the same way with Lance and Purdy. Trey will be with the 49ers until his rookie contract ends or develops to where they can recover some of his draft capital in a trade. In the meantime I'm pulling for him to develop into a stronger armed Brock Purdy 2.0. We shall see.
very true. I know he's a millionaire and all that stuff but you have to feel somewhat for the kid. Just shafted a few times.
Yeah, I never doubted Lance could be a good qb in this league. I just doubt he would be a star. I'd be surprised if he was in this system, with this supporting cast, and never gets better. If he can stay healthy and get a season or two under his belt, he should look a lot better.
it's also a salary cap era, so it's not as easy to hold onto guys like it used to be. If I was Lance, I honestly wouldn't want to sit here for a few more years as QB2. He's young enough so it doesn't matter as much, he will still be young and nearing his prime. They're Just different situations but I do get what you're saying.
