is it incredible? so far, it looks like a trade for an average QB. he has strong arm. can run, but can't read defenses. he is not very accurate. so not sure about the incredibly talented part. Ryan Leaf was talented. great arm. pretty accurate. could never adjust to NFL game.
I never said there wasn’t risk.

And there is a lot more to it then he can or can’t do this.

I’d rather take a chance on this guy then draft another Fehoko or whatever that 4th rounder that’s made absolutely no impact so far on our team.

Just like Romo, this next preseason is a checkpoint. Trey has to ball out in order to stay. remember, Tony started his first game in 2006. he came to the Cowboys before the start of the 2003 season.

we rarely see a young quarterback being developed in the NFL. Something usually comes up and he gets thrown in there prematurely and it ruins their confidence and development. We saw this in Drew Henson and Chad Hutchinson. Neither had any business playing in their first two seasons.
It's not the same Trey Lance has already been through training camps he's started a few NFL games he's been under fire and now he's been in our camp all year and he'll be in training camp it will be different than a fresh out of college player... I totally get what you're saying but in this case that camp is not accurate...

4th round pick for a backup QB is not bad. I do think Rush could handle it though. Maybe Jerry is thinking he could flip him.

Really hurt our last franchise QB when he waited and developed properly
There’s a big difference between Romo and Lance. Romo was undrafted and played at a division 1-AA school. He was going to need a lot more time to develop than a QB that was the 3rd overall pick. He was a project. Lance was brought along slow in SF. Jimmy G started during Lance’s rookie year. He wasn’t given the job until his second year. He’s been through 3 training camps and most QBs that end up being worth a darn are ready to play by now, which is why SF moved on from him. He couldn’t even win the backup job. If he’s going to get better he needs game reps.

And you saw all of this when? What games can you point me to so I can verify what you are saying is true. Are you at the training facility?

I don’t know I’m looking at the Green Bay quarterback situation. It was nice for him to sit behind Rogers for two seasons.
Lance sat behind Jimmy G his first year. He started his second year and got injured. He was given an opportunity to start this season in SF and couldn’t win the backup job. This caused SF to trade him. As for Jordan Love, the jury is still out. The Packers are currently 6-8.

or is this wishful thinking on your part? can he sit in the pocket and make passes? read a defense and make the throws. so far based on 3 years in the league the answer is clearly no. I don't want a RB playing QB.
Where are you seeing all of this stuff?

That may be true but let's be honest here if you watched the first half of this year the first what five games they were talking about Jordan love is possibly being way overrated and never going to give up on him...

they're already talking about the draft and them needing a quarterback, he was being blasted...

you can't give up on a player when he's playing bad early on, he needs the time on the field to get his game corrected, reading defenses, when the change plays ,you know how to be on the same page with your receivers etc. this is the problem you have to get on the field and play and you can't have fans and your coaches be so impatient that they rip you right back off the field look what's happening with The Jets how many times they keep pulling Wilson back on the bench what they're doing with in New England with the three quarterbacks they had over there just too much musical chairs sometimes you gotta give a guy a year to take all his lumps you got to take a step back you got to have your especially your quarterback, grow with your team to really see what he can do once the team settles in and you get comfortable with each other....

Look I understand what you’re saying . I don’t know what Trey Lance brings to the table.. San Fran could’ve ruined his confidence and we’re just bringing it back slowly. But who knows there’s not much information out there

Let's be honest, if the 49ers didn't stumble into Brock Purdy they would still be trying to make it work with Lance. He would have gotten enough reps to figure out what he is as a QB.

Like I said here in another thread a while ago, I would give Lance every QB snap in all three preseason games next summer. We need to see what we have in this guy. Is he a backup? Great. Is he even better than a backup? Then let's trade him for a higher pick than the 4th given up. Win-win situation.

I seriously doubt SF ruined his confidence. They simply made a mistake. No one had Lance rated nearly as high as they did. Even the Cowboys only had a second round grade on him. Every QB Kyle Shanahan started played well except for Lance who was given every opportunity.

Throw him out there too early? This his 3rd season. He won’t be playing anyway this season, he’s not the backup. The only way he’ll have any chance of developing is by playing. The longer he’s on the sidelines, the less likely he’ll become a solid NFL QB. If he doesn’t get on the field until 2025 he’ll be stale. The Cowboys may look to trade him by then, because he’s not going to be happy as a backup. He wants another opportunity to be a starter and that won’t likely happen with the Cowboys.
can you believe 3 ----1st rounds for him????....but then they get Brock Purdy who may be better than Montana when all said and done....very last pick in draft

thrown out there to the wolves and chews em up

He was given every opportunity yes, but he's also been hurt a lot. Remember Lance was the 49ers' starter in 2022 and then shattered his leg in week two. That led to Purdy playing and the rest is history.

If Lance didn't get hurt he just might have held onto the spot. We will never know.

insert him into the 2016 Dak Prescott offense it was built on simplicity and effectiveness for mobile QBs. It limited reads, improved vision and separation. Then develop him slowly and keep expanding. I think the guy would be deadly.
i like noshame----he not afraid of looking not so good....shows he not insecure
