Purdy absolutely had beaten Lance out, and it wasnt even close. Lance was horrible. I watched his last preseason game and holy crap ws he bad. It was immediately after that game that the niners started looking to trade him.
This is not subjective, this is facts. Not only that, had Lance shown almost anything, dont you think one of the teams that is in QB hell wouldnt have stepped up and gave more than Dallas to let Lance take over and see what he had? It is pretty rare for a qb drafted as high as he was to basically be given away so soon.
