I agree it was a small group. Super loud though.
Twitter was the same thing, just with larger numbers.
I don't know, I was as pro Lance as anyone in here, if for no other reason I thought it benefited the team if they had 2 great QBs. Also felt like he was dealt a tough hand here and thought the best case scenario would have been for him to start the season and blow everyone away. Had that happened we'd have likely got a lot more in trade for him than we did, but it's 100% moot at this point. I'm thrilled to finally have a FQB, savoring every game on what I truly believe to be a Super Bowl run and think people still doing victory laps over his departure should try doing the same.
Yeah, I was fine as well in keeping Lance. But the signing of Darnold IMO changed the dynamics of the backup position. You get a guy who has plenty of experience in case Purdy wasn't ready or gets injured. This is an "all in" type roster and they want to solidify the QB room in light of what happened last year including the playoffs. If we're still rebuilding they probably would have stayed patient with Lance. Or.. they saw what Purdy did and was all in on him right away even with just a handful of games. Then you add his rookie contract the next couple of years.. wow.. and continue to add players to solidify other positions. Anyway, I am just amazed how quickly he grasp Shany's system and actually made it even more explosive. Wow! MVP!

He didn't. You were correct in my comment was referencing Tiger. I'm just saying you learn from the best so if you want to go bad as a pro athlete you borrow traits from Manziel and Tiger, lol.

Agree 💯% and I'll just add - so far (knock on wood) he's been pretty durable and came back from a season ending injury months before he was scheduled to come back from. Jimmy would have had several injuries by now and would be on IR, if he was still a 49er.
I saw both Steve and Joe play, and Brock's right up there with them in terms of touch, timing and accuracy. For a second (actually a season or two) Colin also looked the part. The problem with Colin was his lack of dedication and focus towards his profession, and the fact that the 49er front office was atrocious in drafting. Jimmy was a good QB for the 49ers, but he had his issues - lack of accuracy, injuries, and bad mechanics. Jeff Garcia had a crap organization to play for. All in all the Combo of ShanaLynch and Brock Purdy is proving lethal to the NFL.
Colin had no touch and only average accuracy.

My recollection of Kaepernick is he had a really strong arm and didn't really have a lot of touch. Could hit the intermediate routes with ease because his arm was strong. But not the same as what Purdy's doing now, because Purdy's hitting the intermediate routes due to his tremendous anticipation.
I think Trey's and Colin's arm are just a step above Brock's arm. So Brock's arm isn't a weakness in my opinion.

Colin lacked the mentality to succeed. He had the tools, albeit wonky in his release but that's not a deal breaker. What was his undoing is he wasn't a student of the game. He didn't invest the time to learn how to read coverages, pre and post snap. He wasn't a natural processor, so he had to work extra hard on the other mental aspects, and he just didn't do that.
Probably didn't help that the team imploded around him and the coaching staff was on the outs his 2nd full year starting.

Credit to ShanaLynch to bite the Trey Lance bullet, trade him, and go 100% with Brock in the offseason. I really believe the Cameron Latu pick was for Purdy because he loves to throw to his TE's. It takes guts to trade a guy you spent 3 number one draft picks for, for a day three pick. The Sam Darnold pick was just in case Brock can't recover in time for the start of the season. Next year - it will be interesting if they stay with Sam as backup (if they can afford his asking price) or draft a QB, or go with another Free Agent QB.

Isn't it implied in those posts that there were more Brock people? We're talking about a single job here so the one or the other dynamic is natural. I think most people were fine with keeping Trey on the team as a backup.
