I think there's more to the story but time will tell. Trey needs time, he's still raw while Darnold has 55 games. Mostly terrible games but it's experience. I get the move but I also think Trey has a bigger upside that Sam. Remember how terrible Darnold was for 3 years? He was terrible. He even got massive playing time and still was bad.
My point is the double standards though. I am not pushing this to troll or demean anyone but I've pointed out Sam's less than stellar preseason. Even in his thread o highlighted some plays where he missed open guys, two of which where sacks. Nobody said a word. Trey his first game has similar sacks and it was chaos for the week. Trey throws a near pick that results in a TD and again it's all week. Sam throws a ball right into a defender on a extremely stupid play and he gets a pass.
I truly don't understand why a proven bust gets so much respect but Trey got trashed for his every move.
What if it's clear from what they've seen that he'll never reach the level they had hoped he'd attain? If you believe he just doesn't have it and never will, should you keep pressing the issue or cut your losses?
Just because he's raw doesn't mean that he'll ever progress beyond that. This trade is saying that Kyle and Lynch don't believe he'll ever be worth anything in the NFL. Sometimes you just misevaluate a player. It happens.
I agree that they misevaluated Trey, and also disagree that they think he won't be worth anything. I think they know Trey is going to take years to develop the way they saw him slowly developing over these 3 years. They couldn't give him the reps that he needs to develop because of Brock's emergence, BUT I think they still believe he can turn into a good football player. They just don't have the reps to give to him and the time needed to develop him because, again, of Brock. So they traded him to a team that has a chance to give Trey the needed reps for development, and also it was Trey's call to leave. They offered to keep Trey on the team, he obviously didn't want to stay after losing the QB battle.
All in all, I'd say Brock Purdy's emergence is probably 60% to 70% of the reason why they traded Trey, the other 30% to 40% is because of Trey's injuries.
Now that i'm seeing that Trey requested the trade I think I agree with maybe the 70/30 Brock/Trey split. I think it's important for a team to really back they're young promising quarterback. Pretty damn ironic. I love Trey, he seems like a great young man. I think he can be a good quarterback in the NFL and I hope to see him succeed some day. He's gonna be buried behing Dak for years unless something crazy happens, but that's how it goes. The team is showing Brock that they believe in him. We might finally have a really positive quarterback situation in San Francisco. No more weirdness. No more drama.
Agree, it sure looks like Brock is going to be a long term starter for sure.
I think Kyle was blown away by his rookie 7th rounder last year. He was wow'ed enough of Brock to toss Sudfeld and his 2 million guaranteed salary on cutdown day. All the folks who think Kyle can't develop QB's or can't spot QB talent needs to explain the Aquisition, development and emergence of Brock and Jimmy.
The way Brock looked in the Chargers game was eye opening. He was fast, smooth, accurate and unstoppable. One statistic I saw last year was that Brock's offense was scoring more points on average than Patrick Mahome's offense. That made me just go
. I truly believe that if we met Pat in the playoffs last year, we'd have outscored his offense.
