Right, everyone has bias of some sort. Most of us are biased for Purdy over Lance because he is a better QB right now. There is no rational argument against that. Purdy proved to be better, and it was immediately noticeable. Lombardi thinks this way also, as stated in his videos.
It is not a bias against Lance, nor does it mean we don't think Lance can continue to improve. He is and will!
I just think it's premature to say this when he had most of his weapons aside from Deebo to play with. What if Trey has the same success as Brock when he has CMC and Kittle? Those two are big key weapons.
They are big weapons, I agree. If Trey demonstrates the same level of play as Purdy showed, I will be extremely excited! We all will!
For now, though, I haven't seen anything to expect that, and that expectation wouldn't be fair to Lance. He has his own learning curve to follow, as he has his responsibility to follow it and push it. He did a great job, I think, in his offseason work on his mechanics, He is still struggling with the short passes, but I think he is working on fixing that now. It takes time.
Completing 69% of his passes when he is practicing with the 1st team. He must be on point with those deep and intermediate passes if he is truly struggling with the short one's in order for his completion percentage to be close to 70% still.
I agree there, Lance has pretty accurate intermediate-to-deep passing, from what I can tell. He works out whatever is causing the short range issues, he (and we) will enjoy some consistency.
