I'm telling you Trey just needs reps
He won't get them here without injuries, at least not this season. But he looked better than he ever had those last two drives. Steve Young said his problem was confidence, now that he's improved his accuracy (clearly on display today). If Steve is right, and he remains confident, and continues learning how to read defenses, he will be a good QB.
But will that be here? Probably not.
Oh I already know he won't see reps unless injury and if Purdy is the qb I think he is Trey won't see those reps here and unfortunately somewhere else. You can't expect a kid who has the fewest passing attempts coming into the league to be a quick finished product in a year or so especially when injuries has cost him as well. You can see the talent when he's on a roll and has confidence
It is pretty amazing how unrealistic and ridiculous the faux expectations of some are. He is way too green, even now, to be considered a finished product. It's insane.
High schoolers have thrown more passes than him.
He showed today he has REAL arm talent, and that he actually DOES have some escapability. What he's shown prior to this, and may again, is that he is extremely inexperienced. Not only has he not seen a lot of defenses, he hasn't even ran a lot of offensive plays. Prior to this off-season he didn't even really know how to throw the ball. That's how far behind he was.
He may be too far behind to get there on this team. The injuries played a role in that. But I think he'll be a decent QB in the future at some point.
