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.
Now I guess Wait for Carr or
Geno
Baker

Trent Williams throwing around retirement does give me the sense that he doesn't want to ride into the season with Trey Lance as QB. I'm with you, I think a move needs to be made but, the only other QB that is probably available is Aaron Rodgers and I don't think he leaves Green Bay. And the 49ers don't have the ammo to make a move for Aaron Rodgers either. There really isn't anyone else out there that could come right in and pick up where Garoppolo/Purdy left off. My hope is that Purdy is healthy by training camp.

What a b******t take. Why didn't Trent retire this yr when he KNEW and supported Lance as the starter?

man you guys are reaching like always on this subject

Um maybe because Trey Lance wasn't injured yet. Just sayin..

Well, Joe Staley retired in 2020 bc he didn't want to ride into another season protecting a mediocre QB.

It's called assumption. Pretty much what we do here at 49erswebzone.com.

Just playing by the same playbook.

Pass on all of those. Sign Gardner Minshew or Cooper Rush as veteran backups to Lance and hopefully Purdy's injury isn't severe enough that he needs a complete UCL rebuild.

Those two are not better than the three I mentioned and our injured QBs are too much of a gamble

Wrong. They had a starter all through camp. QB1. The offense was built for him. Jimmy played catch on the sideline all off season. Jimmy came in…got hurt…again. Then a dude who by all regards was not good all though camp, played well on a great roster with a stud coaching staff. He gets hurt and we're playing with Josh Jonson in the NFCC.

Jets anointed a starter based on draft position too. Zach Wilson. QB1. Without earning it. Just like Trey

It's an extreme reach to say Trent is contemplating retirement because he doesn't want Trey to be the QB and you're making something out of bothering. There's just no evidence for that. You could say he's contemplating retirement because he hates Shanahan or hates the 49er fans. It's flat out making up a story with zero evidence.

Mayfield sucks, Geno has one year flash in the pan written all over him and Carr will be way too expensive and looking for a long term commitment.

I was all in on Brady for a year but if he's off the market then they may as well roll with what they have and sign a decent veteran backup so they don't have to rely on another Josh Johnson in case of injury.

There should be some good day 3 QB picks if the 49ers go that way. Which I think they should. 49ers don't need a veteran QB. They have Griese as that veteran QB to get advice from. I'd like a shot at another Purdy-level unknown QB that surprises us in training camp and could step in as #2/#3 depending on Brocks or Trey's health status. That sets us up for a year from now where we might have to trade either Trey or Lance because their rookie contract is up.
