Hope you're not looking at me, I said this past season that I expected them to move on from Jimmy and go with Trey Lance. As for his rookie season, the plan was always to sit Trey Lance for a season. And now I fully expect them to go with Trey Lance IF Purdy isn't healthy. Did I want Tom Brady, sure, but I was pretty confident it wouldn't happen. And now that he's retired looks like I was right.
But you questioning people who don't like Trey Lance for whatever reason, I don't understand people who do like Lance for whatever reason. He does absolutely nothing special. Brock Purdy is a far better QB than Lance and he should be given the keys to the 49ers offense along with a multi million dollar contract.
This is what people are calling out…you have NO IDEA what he is or isn't…to make a claim like that. None.
I'll go as far to say, that he actually can and has made throws that neither Brock or Jimmy are capable of making. That isn't the only thing that matters, but overall it's fake news to say otherwise (that he doesn't have any special traits).
and sorry but you have absolutely crapped on Lance since he was picked. You gave him no room to develop. Ya'll set him up for failure (in your mind). He can't play because he's raw. So when he does play and isn't Mahomes day 1, you've labeled him a bust. If people can't see the nonsense in that thought process, then it was never about lance and more about ya'll being upset they want to replace Jimmy.
Man, after all I said in my post that's the only thing you got out of it.
Did I label Lance a bust already....ready, set go.....show me where I ever said that!!!
I've always said, Trey Lance may turn out to be good, just not with the 49ers, too much time has gone by since he was drafted. And to think that he's all of a sudden gonna jump right in and play lights out like Purdy isn't being realistic. So Lance can make a few throws that Jimmy G and Purdy can't, big deal, still not impressed, so can Cody Pickett. I was led to believe that his scrambling/running ability was incredible coming outta college and so far in the NFL, Brock Purdy's scrambling ability is the one that has impressed me. And not to mention let's not forget Lance's ankle injury, you people gonna blame Shanahan again if Lance takes off running and re-injures his ankle, because (knock on wood) that still can happen.
